DAUGHERTY DEFENDS
DEFIANCE OF SENATE
Ohio Banker States Grounds of Re.
fusal of Books to Supreme
Court.

NJ. S. Daugherty. brother of former
Attorney General Daugherty. filed with
the Supreme Court yesterday defense
of his refusal to furnish to the Senate
certain information concerning the af
fairs of the Midland National Bank of
Washington Court House, Ohio, Of which
he is president.
He insisted that the Senate investi-
cation was not legislative in character
but was an attempt to prosecute his
brother; challenged the power of the
Senate to compel recalcitrant witnesses
to testify and asserted that in the
formulation of legislation, Congress, be-
fore it can compel the attendance and
testimony of witnesses, must through
the two houses declare its purpose and
demand the Information.
Daugherty insisted that the action of
the Fayette County Court of Ohio,
which enjoired the Senate committee
from examining the books Of the bank
is still in effect. and that the Supreme
Court should make no decision which
would be in violation Of that restrain
ing order.

GAME
'SCALP|NG' FOUGHT.
U. S. Launches Drive Against
Unlicensed Brokers Here
and in Baltimore.

A campaign against unlicensed tick
ct scalpers hoping to profit off the
Army-Navy foot" ball game at Balti-
more, Saturday, has been launched in
Washington, simultaneously with an
even more intensive drive in Balti-
enue Bureau.
The whole drive is being directed
by Collector of Internal Revenue Galen
L. TAFT of Baltimore, in charge of this
district, who issued formal statement
today. outlining the situation and an
nouncing the Investigation"
Deputy Collector Powell. in charge
Of the local Office. 1922 Pennsylvania
avenue, held a conference this morn
ing with deputies here and outlined d
program of action.
Several leads" as to prospective ac-
tivities of scalpers in Washington al
ready are in the possession of the op-
eratives. it was learned, and the cam
paign against unlawful brokers in
tickets was started this afternoon.
The operatives will be on the lookout
tonight, and will keep at work until
the game, it was learned.
No Activity Indicated.
No outward evidence appeared in
the city today. as there did during
the world series here, to show that
brokers" were active. At that time
licensed brokers openly advertised
their business
"Scalping." Mr.. TAFT said in his
formal statement, lis prohibited by
federal laws to all except licensed
brokers. For any other person to
sell a free ticket for any price, or
any other ticket for an amount in
excess of its cost, Is a misdemeanor
under tn federal laws. The Govern
ment is entitled to payment of tax
upon sliding scale of tickets in
excess of cost
Mr.. TAFT said he had delegated a
number of deputies to Investigate
"and If possible to apprehend and
prosecute violators of the federal law.
1t Is difficult" he continued. Ito secure
the evidence. because those buying
tickets which they desire are re-
luctant to disclose the source.
There are a limited number of
registered ticket brokers and any
one approached by broker offering
to sell or selling a ticket in viola
ton of the raw should secure his
name and address and notify the
office of the Collector of Internal
Revenue at the Custom House in
order that it can be ascertained
whether he is a registered broker"
In announcing that he had ordered
an investigation in the Capital, Mr..
TAFT said, 1T is reported the tickets
are also being scalped in Washing
ton"
Tickets, it was learned from Army
and Navy sources, are in charge of
the athletic councils of the Army and
Navy, located at West Point, and
Annapolis, respectively.
Whether reports of scalping of the
tickets for their annual gridiron
classic had reached the officials in
charge of the tickets could not be
learned here today. as they were not
in Washington. But it was said by
those in the departments who have
been in touch with the game in the

CHECK SCRUTINY
BEST SAFEGUARD
Proper Care During Christ
mas Rush Held Ample Sc
curity Against Fraud.

II merchants, storekeeperS and
others dealing with the public will
keep reasonable safeguards over the
payment tof money on checks during
the Christmas rush period there is no
need for agitation regarding wide
spread frauds.
This was the consensus OF opinion
from three local officials whose bust
ness it is to keep fingers on the pulse
of forgery operations in the District
today-Inspector Clifford L. Grant,
chief of detectives; Harry Y. Haynes,
president of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank and chairman of the
protective committee Of the District
Bankers Association, and Howard
Cool. director of the Better Business
Bureau.
Prior Frauds Cited.
Several years ago., inspector
Grant said there was in Washing
ton numerous cases in which fraud
was perpetrated by bogus checks
during the Christmas period. We are
reasonably certain from the close
watch we have been keeping on con-
f1dence men and bad check artists
that Washington has nothing serious
to fear from concerted operations OF
any group of this type of swindlers.
Mr.. Haynes said that, although
there hau Deen reports dS ~ poS US
checks having been received in stores
here recently. there have been no Of
fetal reports filed with the protective
committee of the bankers to warrant
the supposition that swindling opera
tions on large scale are in forma-
tion here.
Il can see nothing to fear If mer-
chants take reasonable precautions,
Howard Cool, in charge of the Better
Business Bureau, stated.
VI. & VI. Association Statement.
The following statement was
issued by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association:
For the benefit Of those who
have been in the habit Of having
checks cashed by business houses,
tho Merchants and Manufacturers
Association announces that this
practice will be continued as here
tofore.
Naturally such matters are
handled by the stores in a practical.
businesslike way.
Merchants are glad to accommO-
date their customers.
Business houses have always
thrown safeguards around such pro-
cedure, and the usual caution will be
exercised.
There is no reason for the re-
sponsible and honorable portion of
the community to have any fear that
the stores will not extend this
courtesy as heretofore
1T is suggested that individuals
have checks cashed at stores where
they are best known"

them all, and Bill Raridan. But
Killing was fading out and Rariden
was only mediocre performer.
Ball players frequently have
changed their original position.
Gowdy did. He was given trial
as a catcher but in 1912 ranked at
the extreme bottom in fielding in
list of "a catchers. His average
was 1926.
Out of the "a catchers who were
in the National League that season
with Gowdy only two remain big
leaguers. They are Ivy Wingo and
Hank SEVERED. Wingo was with
St. Louis and SEVERED with Cincin-
natl, both youngsters like Hank.
Batting Featured Series
Gowdy became star and every
body knows about his batting record
in the 1914 world series against the
Athletics when he averaged .545.
McGraw is anything but q bull
head. He always is willing to admit
his mistakes. Because he has traded
player that does not necessarily
mean that the athlete is bound for
the junk-pile.
Two years ago McGraw decided
he had fiddled with Earl Smith long
enough and the eccentric catcher
was traded with Posse Barnes to the
Braves for John Watson and Gowdy.

OPEN RACE
NEXT YEAR.
SAYS SISLER

St. Louis, Oct. 27.-Despite the
fact that Washington won the AM
eiican League pennant and the
world championship in 1924, Mana
ger George Sisler of the of the st.
Louis Browns says the Senators
will have their troubles repeating.
1.-The teams in the American Lea
que are SO evenly matched that any
club in the circuit with a little
strengthening would be in a position
to win next year," says Sisier
81 regard New York, Detroit and
St. Louis as inherently stronger
than Washington, yet the Nationals
beat all three to the wire.
Washington won because it never
quit, got the breaks, making many
of them and has wise manager
in Stanley Harris. ....
"There is little difference between
any Of the clubs in the American
League. Connie Mack finished sixth
the past season, yet must he figured
as a pennant contender.
Competition is so keen in the
American League that Washington
has it's work cut out to repeat"
Sisler certainly seems to have
sized up the American League stu
alton correctly. .,. .-.

BUSH PLANS
TO STICK
ON HITTING

New York, Oct. 27.-Joe Bush,
star pitcher of the New York AM
orleans, doesn't intend to retire from
thee major when his twirling days
are over.
No indeed! Joe plans to spend
about five more years in the big
show after he loses his ability to
Eystify the opposing batters.
A natural hitter, Bush of late
years has given much attention to
the batting end of the game. lie
has improved to such an extent that
he is now regarded as one of the
most dangerous hitters in the AM
erican League.
For several years he has done
pinch hitting roles for the Yankees
aside from pitching. When Miller
higgins needs a right handed hit
ter in Il pinch, Bush invariably gets
the call
On the days when it is not hi:
turn to pitch, Bush has spent much
time chasing fly balls and has be
come very proficient fielder.
"Joe Wood, great pitcher in his
day, hung on for many years after
he was through as twirler because
he could play the outfield and hit
says Bush, land l intend to follow
in his footsteps"

Whenever John ]. McGraw talks
he opens the eyes and ears of those
who are listening. The subject of
catchers came up the other day
when the Giants manager said:
Il consider Hank Gowdy one of
the best catchers in the National
League today"
And Gowdy, having recently cele-
brated his .thirty-fourth birthday, is
serving his fourteenth season in the
National League. Ancient? A trifle
but not too old to be called one of
the games best by McGraw.
1t will be recalled that Gowdy
originally was discovered by Nc
Graw. He was a first baseman with
Dallas in the Texas League in 1910
and had never yanked mask around
his big ears.
AS Fred Merkle was doing con-
siderable first basing for the Giants
that fall when the lean Hankerino
arrived, there was no room for the
kid from Texas.
Showed to Braves
But McGraw could use short
stop and the Boston Braves could
experiment with young material.
Therefore Gowdy was showed along
to the Braves in company with AL
Bridwell, and Buck Herzog once
more Joined the Giants troupe.

Braves the Braves catchers were

Billy Evans Says

Little things play big part in a
world series.
One play often makes some ath-
lete hero while a single slip makes
him the goat.
During the season, happenings that
would merely create passing atten-
ton, take on the utmost Importance
ir the fall diamond classic.
A home run in the old crisis that
wins ball game wins undying fame
for the fortunate individual. Home
run hits during the regular season
arc soon forgotten.
An error or slow-thinking play
that proves costly is greatly magnl-
fled if it happens in sens game.
Worse. slips are readily overlooked
over the long route.
The Importance of the world series
cruises all things, good or bad, to be
greatly magnified.
In this connection l have in mind
the case of Muddy Ruel, who went
/ six games in the recent series with
out making base hit, only to come
through with two timely decisive
wallops in the seventh contest.
Ruel caught remarkable baseball
during the series handled his pitch
ers we'll and was death to wouid-be
base stealers. His throwing was
well-nigh perfect.
| In the first game his feat of catch
! ing frankie Frisch off second was a
| fine piece Of work. Frisch, a heady
and fast runner, is seldom so retired.
! Later in the same game, when the
/ Giants essayed double steal with
runners on first and third, Ruei
bluffed throw to second and then
with the same motion snapped this
ball to third.
In this instance he again picked
off one of the best base runners on
the ball club, Pep Young. 1t is rare
| for Young to be- SO tricked.
/ But Ruel couldn't get the bali
safe. As he came up time after time
and failed, to reach first, his batting
efforts began to be treated in the
light Of joke.
Because of his failure to hit, some
! Of the experts were getting ready
TO consign him to the "goat" class.
! His fine work in all other depart
ncnts were being passed up because
Of his weak batting.
| During the regular season many
Fbatters, far better hitters than Ruel,

BRITISHERS
WILL TOUR
OUR LINKS

By NEA Service
Cleveland, o., Oct. 25. Friends
here today received definite assur-
ances that Abe Mitchell and George
Duncan, noted British professionals,
would visit America again this win
ter.
| According to their letters, Mitch
ell and Duncan will arrive in No
vember and will tour the southern
resort cities and journey out to the
tcoast to compete in the California
open, an annual championship which
is gradually becoming classic.
! Mitchell is known as the longest
driver in England, while Duncan is
famed for his meteoric outbursts of
golf. The two make a very formid-
able as we'll as colorful combina-
ton.
Duncan and Mitchell are no stran-
gers to America. Golfers here have
seen them in action on two previous
occasions and both times the visit
ors proved fully capable of giving
Americas leading professionals
quite time of it.
Winter golf tours by visiting pro-
fessionals is something of a novelty

ing partner, Ockenden, and was a

DEMONS" MUST
FIGHT HARD
Dickinson Looks Strong With
Win Over Mandan

Bismarck High Schools football
team must fight to win the south
western district championship. The
victories over Mandan had given
local supporters confidence that the
Demons" would easily take the dis
trct title, but on Saturday Dickin-
son overwhelmed Mandan High by a
score of 20 to 6. This was Il worse
trimming than Bismarck gave Man
dan, and the "dope" sheet would
argue that Dickinson ought to de-
feat Bismarck High here on Satur-
day.
Minot, as result of a % to 6
victory over Williston at Minot Sat-
urday, is likely to take the North
western district title. Minot has
yet to meet Rugby.
Wahpcton and Valley City likely
will fight it out in the southeastern
district, while in the northeastern
district the title is yet to be decided.

| In the opening game of the season
with Nebraska, Zuppke uncovered
the fact that he intends shifting
Oranges style of play this year.
Last year Grange did little or no
passing. He was invariably on the
receiving end of any play. Zuppkc
has given Grange another threat
the ball
Zuppke Shifts Tactics
Early in the Nebraska game, the
heavy line of that team succeeded
in breaking through the lighter Hi
nois forwards time after time
throwing Grange for loss.
| Then it was that Zuppke shifted
his tactics. Grange instead of car
rying the ball began to toss long
forward passes A number of them
were completed.
This scheme caused the secondary
defense of Nebraska to filter back
to stop the passes.
With the secondary defense back
and with Nebraska convinced that
Grange. was no longer dangerous as
a ball-carrier, Illinois went back to
Grange.
In quick succession he reeled off
several long runs, Nebraska being
entirely unprepared for such an of
Tense.
Uses Change of Pace
Literally Zuppke has developed q
change of pace for Grange. 1t is
his intention to keep the opposi-
ton guessing. Having them in that
frame of mind there is always a
chance that Grange may get away
for a long run.
STOP GRANGE.
It's a great idea if properly exc
cuted.
However, there is always a chance
that some other Illinois player will
get away while concentrating on
Grange.
Incidentally it's going to be q
tough job to stop the same Mr.
Grange. Ask Michigan.
