Dade and Monroe counties, pro-
posed by the State Road Depart
ment for construction of the

The proposed agreements pro-
vide for the construction by Col

four miles in length, from the
Trail, which is State Road No. 81,

to connect with a road which
Monroe county constructs. The
latter county will build a stand.
ard road from there through tho
county along the line followed BY
the Chevalier Corporation to the
Dade county line. The road de-
partment viii build a standard
road from there to the point on
Road 27 in Dade county where
the latter highway turns north
westward.
When all the roads have been
constructed, it was stated, the de-
partment win take them over for

building Road q in that county
and also the other section of the
road in that county to connect

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS
BY THE SCRiBBLER


The long looked : for statement
from Gov. Richardson has made its
appearance and the fight is now on.
He pledges himself to economy and
efficiency, and maintenance OF law
and order, and on this record he. is
contented to 60 before the people.
Those who expected a sizzling attack
on his enemies are disappointed, but
no doubt before the campaign ends
we may expect fireworks. Some
dopesters are not so sure about
d, feating the cold-blooded governor
with a divided opposition. There is
no DOUBT big interests will support
him.
G. G. Young. who is CARRYING the
progressive banner, saws that he is
we'll satisfied With the progress of
his campaign. d. He seems, to be
counting on organized labor and the
machine politicians of large cities to
put him over. Rex Goodcell is
gaining friends all over the State bv
his clean-cut statements.
The Senatorial fight was enlivened
last week by injection Of PERSONAL
ties by Congressman Lineberger on
the so-called flop of Judge Clark on
the world court issue Ne doubt this
is being forced into the campaign by
Hiram Johnson, but as yet there
does not seem to be any great fuss.
Senator Shortridge ds still at Wash.
in3ton, and will begin his campaign
when Congress adjourns. u.
| What A. P. Alberger,is going to
tell the bows this year is awaited
with curiosity. Al was in Sacra-
mento last week, we hear. si:
Women talk of entering candi-
date for Assembly in the Goth district
" eSIey Peoples is spoken of. :.
The 3oth district, which contains
the bulk Of our group, is being con-
sidered, and if aman that can COM
mand the support of the race be
found, he should be pushed to the
front. We need representation.
Long have we asked for it. Now
let US organize, and take what is
righttully due.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS

I would like to see the major
leagues training camps in the south
used as experimental stations for
some of the reforms that it is
believed would help the sport
The spring games are under the
supervision of competent major
league umpires. These officials would
be in a position to form definite
opinion of the various reforms after
seeing them executed in actual COM
petition.
incidentally, the managers and
players would have an opportunity
to judge the merits of any suggested
change, also the newspaper following
the teams.
This would eliminate the necessity
of changing a rule in mid-season, as
was the case several years ago rela
tive 20 what constituted a home run.

solution of this play that would sat

we'll worth while.

lowing suggestion from California

an exactly new idea, it is one that
I have always believed worth expert

At the same time McGraw dis
closed that the Cardinals, in the.
spring of 1925, had turned down a
bid from the Giants for Hornsby in
exchange for Frisch, two other play
ers and a substantial sum of cash,
understood to be between $4,000
and 500, 900.
Tn view of the high value at
tached to Hornsby," McGraw declared,
"I did not take seriously the pro-
posal firs; advanced by sam Breadon,
Cardinal president, for straight
trade when he talked with us eight
days ago, just before the National
league meeting here.
"Breadon told us then that he
anticipated difficulty coming 20 terms
with Hornsby, for 1927, that he had
given Hornsby until yesterday to ac-
cept the clubs offer and that he
would trade his star if no agreement
was reached.
"Breadon first suggested receiving
Frisch and Bill Terry, first baseman
for Hornsby. 1 objected to including
Terry, but offered pitcher, either
Ring or John Scott, and Breadon ac-
cepted the change, naming Ring.
Nothing was closed then and
was skeptical Of anything coming of
it. / felt that the threat of a trade
was merely being used as a club
over Hornsby's head. 1t took me
completely by surprise last night
when Breadon called, and put the
deal through with Mr.. Stoneham,
(president of the Giants)"
McGraw said flatly that. no cash
was involved, spiking reports that
the Giants had parted with 100000
for the Cardinal slugger in addition
to the two players.
81 will donate 81, 900 to any charity
you can name if you will show me
where we parted with a nickel be-
sides Frisch and Ring" McGraw said.

Cleveland club in view of the Leonard
charges.
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league, withheld a formal state
ment pending examination of the evil
dence but he did say that "both Cobb
and Speaker saw the handwriting on
the wall and decided to pull out" He
said he was surprised that the testi-
mony was divulged at present and that
he regarded both Cobb and Speaker as
having been very drastically' dealt
with"
Commissioner Landis, although CIV
ing out the complete testimony of
/, Leonard, who is in California, had re-
peatedly refused to present the charges
at hearing at which Cobb and
Speaker could be present.
He made no ruling in view of the
fact that Cobb, Speaker, Leonard and
Wood are all out of baseball and said
that if changed conditions necessitated
a decision as to what attitude organ
lied baseball should take in regard to
the four, such decision would be
Forthcoming.
cent on an American league baseball
game, admitted today that his letter
! to Leonard bore upon betting propo-
sition, but denied that he had shared
in or had known of any plan to
throw" the contest and called the bet
to which he referred wholly legiti-
mate one of the sort frequently en-
, tered into by baseball players. De
spite his own habit OF refusing to bet
on games, in his own league, Cobb said
lit was a frequent custom among play
ers to bet on their own team and that
he sometimes had knowledge of bets
like this, just as have known of club
owners betting ON horse races, or on
! baseball games
II have been in baseball for %
years." Cobb said with a quaver in
his throat, as he talked of the charges.
IT have played the game as hard and
square and clean as any man ever did.
iAll 1 thought of was to- win, every
year, every month, every day, every
hour My conscience is clear.
II will rest my case with the Ameri-
can fans and will match my record
] in baseball against that of anybody
, connected with the game
Cobb ascribed Leonard's story to
pfoue over his dismissal from the De-
troit club in 1925 and to his desire for
money.
Leonard got $4,000 for those two
letters, I understand, from American
league officials. 1 think, too, that he
tried to sell them to newspapers on
/ the Pacific coast. If Leonard had any
thing on me, do you think I would
have released him in 1925? I always
was friendly with him, but I had to
let him go for the good of the club.
If / had feared anything or had any
thing to fear, is it reasonable that I
should gain his i'll will by getting
waivers on him?"
