PROBE FOR

OF Mayor Lasts for
Hour and Halt

A SWEEPING investiga-
"A ton of the administra-
ton of the sheriff's office and
the county jail was voted at
moon Tuesday by members of
the county grand jury.
This surprise action, which
came when the jury was al
most ready to adjourn and
complete its report and a list
of indictments, may consume
two weeks or two hours, ac-
lcording to Deputy Prosecutor
Burgunder, who is directing
the jury's program.
Members OF the jury and Bur.
gunder admitted that the new line OF
investigation was the direct result Of
a recent editorial IN The star. in
which it demanded an investigation
to prove the charges or exonerate
Sheriff Matt Starwich of criticism in
connection with the arrest OF one Of
his deputies In liquor raid by fed
erals and the recent jailbreak.
The extent of the jury's probe was
not limited TO any specific phase,
Burgunder said. 1t max take UP the
jailbreak and the arrest Of Deputy
Lee r. Parker as well as other ru-
mors about tho ofrica
Starwich announced he would
welcome such an investigation.
Burgunder said. This was taken
as enough Of request upon which
to base the investigation.
No witnesses had been summoned
for the afternoon when the jury
adjourned for lunch shortly after
l. o'clock. II decided TO cut half
an hour from its usual noon re-
cess. and was TO start the sheriffs
probe at ] p m. with Starwich
as the first probable witness.
Mayor Brown, under fire inter
mittently all thru the past three
weeks reappeared before the jury
Tuesday forenoon and consumed an
hour and half in making another
defense Of his administration.
Brown was believed to be making
n last stand in support of his admin.

ment, before the jury finally decidss
upon the nature OF its report in re-
gard TO his office.

NEW YORK, August 26.-The

their sixth game in eight starts to
Cleveland, but the champion Wash

The New York Giants gave notice
that they were still in the fight by

While they were thrusting back the
challenge of Cincinnati. 7 to 6, and
cutting Pittsburgh's lead to five
games, Ross Young f1ared up at
Pitcher Donohue after being hit on

diamond into temporary gridiron by
tackling the Giant player at the
knees. lifting him in his arms. and
then banishing him from the park
along with Donohue.
Brooklyn and st. Louis had it out

club administrators are convinced he
can be restored to good playing con-

Seons.
To make room for Myer in the
Champs roster, the venerable Nean
Gregg. pitcher bought from Seattle
last Winter, and who has done little
good work for the club this season,
has been turned over to the Pelicans,
and was to leave today for New Or
leans.
No time was lost in looking over
Jeanes. After the Browns gained such
a comman nding lead that yesterdays
game seemed hopelessly lost to the
Nationals, Manager Bucky Harris sent
the newcomer into the lineup. He
had but one chance after going to
center field in the sixth inning, fly
from the bat of George Sisler, and he
handled that deftly. In his only bat
ting turn that came in the eighth
Ieanes went to three-and-two count
then raped one of Gastons slantS
smartly to La Motto, who threw him
out.
Jeanes is a rangy fellow, somewhat
of the build of Roy Carlyle, who was
with the Nationals early this season.
He bats from the right side, though,
and is much speadier than Roy, both
afield and on the runways. Jeanes
hammered the ball hard in batting
practice and SO impressed Manager
Harris that a place in the regular
lineup maybe given him for a time.
Bob Veach, who has been playing
left field the past few days. really
seems to be bothered more than he
will admit by the knee that wa'< badly
bruised during a batting drill with
the Yankees shortly before he was
transferred to the Nationals. He may
get few days of rest. In that event,
Jeanes likely will be used at center
/ field. and Goslin sent back to his regu-
lar job in left.
| Manager Harris also watched chap
| called Bob Lowe. an 1S-year-old Texan
who aspires to be a big league first
Sacker, in a pre-Game workout. He
! was said to be a college player and
/ it was intimated that Lowe Is not his
real name. He may not remain
around the champs for any length of
! time.
Scout Joe Engel was in ST. Louis
when the Nationals arrived. Joe has
been combing the Western League and
Western Association recently, hoping
to discover some promising pitching
talent He reported little success.
! Stanley CoveIeskie, who lost in a
tough tussle in Detroit last week, was
to do the pitching today for the Ma
| tionals. He was likely to be opposed
| by Bullet Joe Bush.
| While the Nationals We're fioundering
almost helplessly afield yesterday,
Ossie Bluege managed to execute one
| play that brought the fans to their
feet. In the seventh inning he ran
far back of third base to snag with one
| hand McManus' burning grounder and
! followed with lightning throw that
