exonerated by Assistant District It

port made to District Attorney Ban
ton today following the termina-
ton of the states investigation of the

The assistant district attorney con-
tends that cornell may be guilty
of a violation of the penal Law gov

Mr.. Brothers also contended that

MIR. Brothers.

my opinion such statements not
come within the decisions defining

statements Of O'Connell that Coz

Glory and Wealti,
For Detroit NaVin

DETROIT. Feb. 4-(By A. P.)-Un-
lucky in politics, lucky in baseball,
is the way Frank j. Navln, president
of the Detroit American League base
bail club. probably would say it.
Mr. Navin, who has transformed
Detroit from a rube baseball town to
one of the capitals of fandom, con-
fesses he was a false alarm as a
politician, sort Of modern Don
QuiXote jousting with the windmill.
lie could not convince several hun
dred voters in a Detroit suburb that
he should be their choice for justice
of the peace, but in the years that
have followed he has been elected
to important places in the baseball
world by his fellow maGnates. He
rose recently to membership on the
Advisory Council, highest tribunal
of baseball. by replacing Ban John
son as the American leagues repre-
sentative.
Mr.. Navin set out to become a
lawyer. Coming to Detroit from
Adrian, Mich where ne was born in
1871, he worked his way through
school and graduated In law, a pro-
fesSion he never followed, however.
His initial flyer in politics proving a
failure, he was mentioned for a city
hall clerkship paying $500, and
then he took up baseball. He became
an cmploye of s. +. Angus, owner
of Detroit's droWsy ball club. Angus
wanted to get out of the game. Ban
Johnson. president of the American
League. came to Detroit in an effort
to get rid of the white elephant.
Mr.. Navin, whose friends call him n
modern Midas and who, they say.
never CANDLES with fate. made his
greatest gamble then. Without suffi-
cient money himself to swing the
deal, he interested William Yawkey.
wealthy sportsman. Yawkey put up
the money and Navin became man
ager of the club.
The rest of the story Of the De-
troit baseball club and Frank J.
Navin is the story of a man taking
losing proposition. driving through
years of encouragement to bring his
organization finally to the peak of
financial and diamond success.
TWO major chapters appear in the
book Frank Navin has written with
bats, balls, mitts and money on the
hard clay and green grass of Navin
Field. The first was his coup in
bringing to Detroit as manager
Hughie Jennings-"Eeh-ah ." grass
pulling Jennings. The second was the
purchase of Ty Cobb.
BY many the signing Of Jennings is
regarded as Mr.. Navins greatest
stroke in baseball. The new mana
ger. obtained for $1,000 from Balti-
more. calked the seams of discord in
the Tiger craft and developed three
winning clubs lie took De-
troit by storm and is credited with
having aroused this city to the in

WHITE S1X may
Be DARK Horse
PENNANT DRIVE

Chicago, Feb. 4 by A. P.)-Pros-
poets of a first division in the Ameri-
| can League, and possibly a pennant
contender is the aim of Eddie Collins
new manager of the Chicago White
OK. II enthusiasm and dope are any
criterion, the White Sox may prove
TO be the dark horse" in the 1926

. Collins merely declares emphatically
that the club will finish where it be-
, longs"
/ Il have a young, growing team
declared Collins. Harry Hooper and
myself are the only veterans on the
club, outside of the batteries. Our
youngsters are good for an indefinite
number of years in baseball and we
have big possibilities"
Collins is well pleased with his
club and is depending upon two men,
who at times last season showed on
ly flashes of promises. These are
pitcher Ted Blanllenship and out
fielder johnny Mostil. With Falll and
Hooper occupying the other outfield
terths as regulars. the new pilot be-
lieveS his troubles there have been
solved. He also has Archdeacon and
ElSh as substitute fly catchers.
The shortstop position, the weakest
to be well cared for with Ike Davis,
former Columbus American Associa-
ton player, who Joined the club late
in the season, available. Collins be-
llcves he has strong line of substi-
tutes. Bill Barrett who had a ten
dcncy to throw wild to first while
subbing at short. will be able to ov-
ercome this fault. Collins believes.
Jarrett is good hitter. Hervey
Mcclellan and Johnny Cartozzo also
are candidates for the position as is
Wojack. formerly with Quebec and
who Joined the SoX in time last fall
to make the European trip with the
Giants.
There are four left handed pitch
erS on the roster and Collins is hope
lul of developing one who will be
able to take his turn with the right
handlers. The southpaws are Mike
Cvengros, Forema, Davenport and
Ash. The right handlers on the ros-
ter are Faber Thurston. Robertson,
Connaliy. Lyons, Blakenslip. Lever
cite. Mangum and Steengraafe.
Willie Kamm, the 100000 coast
league beauty, suffered slump in
mis- batting last season and this ap-
peared to affect his general play. He
is expected to strike his stride this
Year ana VIII be the regular third
sacker. Earl Sheely will return to
the initial sack and will have cap
able assistant in Bud Clancy. who
made the European tour with the
White SoX and Giants.
Collins will return to the keystone
sack and direct the club from the
field.
Ray Schalk and Clyde Grouse will
probably do the bulk of the catching
ing.
Billy Lauder, former baseball coach
at Columbia University and more
'ecently at Yale, has been signed as
coach and assistant to Collins. Lau-
Ger was Instrumental in starting
Collins on his baseball career, as he
