GRACEFUL EATERS
 0F PRESENT DAY
Evans Discusses CraWlOrd-'
 Coaches as Experts
(By Billy Eyans)

 Ruth swings at q ball" remarked fan to me recently while we were discussing tho home-run king. ''It'doesn't matter. whether he hits the ball or not. His cut at the ball Is the poetry of motion even when he strikes out"
 It takes coordination to be great batsman and when Ruth is going good there is rhythm to his swing.
 Yet 10 my way of thinking, no batsman l have ever seen in action compares with Sam Crawford, who years ago starred at Detroit.
 An umpire as rule doesn't ap- preciate many of the things that apS peal to fandom. His work becomes mechanical. he does it more or less automatically. Partisan feelings do not sway his judgment.
 Despite this l never tired of keen ly observing the style of Sam Craw- ford at the bat.
 His timing was perfect, despite the fact he was a slugger, and there was always the same smoothness to his swing.
 Like Ruth, Crawford batted left handed. Sam Crawford was star about 0 years too soon. In these daysof the lively ball and so-so pitching he would have riyaled Ruth as a slug ser.
 When Coaches Glenn Warner, Tad Jones and Knute Rockne got to- gether to pick their All-Americs team, Layden Of Notre Dame was. selected as the fullback. Most critics overlooked Layden, giving preference 10 Stuhldreher aud Crowley. Walter Camp named Stuhldreher at quarterback on his first team and l put Crowley on his second, while Layden was nowhere. Then to further upset the done, Layden in the big game of the year with Stanford was the outstanding star of the backheld.
 Making 1t seem that the Big Three in coaching, Warner, Jones and Rockne, qualified as sport ex- perts by their selections, Layden in particulE.
 Who is the most graceful ball player you have ever seen in action and who is the direct opposite ?" asks a fan.
 Strangely enough, two of the greatest players of all time, Napp Lajoie and Hans Wagner, occupy the above position in my rating. No two more accurate in(elders ever played the game, yet their style was entirely different. Larry was grace personified. while the bow legged. loose -jointed Wagner was just the opposite.
 Larry made plays look easy by his style while Wagner made them look hard. Yet both were equally effi- cient.
 Proving that class is not alway, determined by style. Wagner and La1oie are concrete examples of the truth.
 Do you think Walter Johnson will be with Washington next year?
 Fans by the hundreds have asked me that question since Walte- ex- pressed B. desire to quit the ajors and buy a minor league franchise.
 Baseball enthusiasts hate to think that so loVable character as John- son is to pass out of the picture. | Manager Stanley Harris believes Johnson will be back to help him win another pennant. At least he Is pulling .that way. Repeated failure to buy the minor league club desired makes 1t seem as if Harris might get his wish.
 However. the spot for Johnson to capitalize on his baseball prestige is next season, if he is to be so for tunate.
 The time for him is the present, Hes now a hero. 4 year often makes quite difference.

SEN. WHEELER
IS INDICATED,
FRAME-UP CLAIM
Jury Brings in Verdict
As New Wheeler \
Baby Born
BY PAUL R. MALLON,

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April
25.-Vindicated of charges that he
bad misused his senatorial office,
Senator Burton X. Wheeler of
Montana today issued statement
charging ''the Daugherty gang
with producing false testimony for
his trial here.
Wheeler was found not guilty on
the first ballot of the jury which
sat through the eight day trial
just before the jury brought in its
verdict Wheeler got word from
Washington that a baby girl had
been born to Mrs Wheeler, the
sixth child born to the couple.
81 shall not be satisfied until
one of the principal witnesses in
the case is prosecuted for his base
ly false testimony Wheeler said.
"The department of justice, while
protesting its fairness in the trial,
brought Il notorious witness here
without giving us an opportunity
to check up ou his character. Since
he testified, however, an abundance
of evidence has come into our pos
aession connecting him with the
old Daugherty regime.
"This. acquittal proves my
charges of a frame-up by the de-
partment of justice. Had it not
been for this preiudiced testimony
the case would never have come
to the jury. | hope for an early
trial in Washington on the conspi-
racy charge in order that my ae-
tivities in the senate may not be
hampcred by the Daugherty gang
which apparently still has Il com
manding voice in the department

The specific charge against
Wheeler accused him of accepting
n fee while senator for represent
ing Gordon Campbell, Montana oil
man, in land permit cases. Wheel
er denied this and other allegations.

New Jury Will

first things taken up by the new

Utley will ask Judge Conkling TO

today.
Judge Cole empaneled the old

discharged tonight, and work of
choosing a new one will fall under
Judge Conkling'S jurisdictions
RWmors of violations of the alien
land law have been current in the
valley for many months and have
been the subject of considerable in
vestigation by the American Legion
posts and the Interpost Council of
that organization. 1t is claimed
that Hindus and japanese. who are
restrained by the law from owning
or leasing land, have been growing
crops ON so-called "trick contracts
whereby they raise the crops and
share in the major portion of the
profits, after entering into con-
tract with Americans who own or
lease the land that is farmed
The district attorney has also
made an investigation of the al
legged violations, and it is believed
he has sufficient evidence in his
possession to warrant indictments
by the grand jury.
