FIT
AS PILOT

The only reason for the "touting"
in some quarters Of Eddie Collins as
the next manager of the Boston Red
Sox is that Eddie is out of job
and the Red Sox need a manager.
Edward Trowbridge Collins Is all of
that For many years it wSs sus-
pected that the ex-Columbia athlete
would make a fine manager when
his playing days were over.
One year proved that the sus-
picion was well founded. Eddie
handled the White Sox with wonder
full skill last season. He might even
be able to lift the Red Sox out OF the
cellar if given chance.
Owner COmiskey, of the White
SOx, was merely acting OH busi-
ness principles when he dropped
Collins as manager and substituted
Ray Schalk.. Collins was drawing
huge salary as playing man
ager,
His playing days are almost Oven
Comiskey felt he would either
have to continue paying for some
thing he wouldn't get. or ask Collins
to take a big reduction n salary.

ing. so he took another way out.
He handed Eddie his unconditional
release and named Schalk manager.
There was no friction on the Chi
cago bench last year, Eddie was
with his players. and his :]ayers
were for Eddie. Schalk was one Of
his best friends and most valuable
helpers.
There was never any particular
personal fOndness between Lddie
Collins and Owner Charley Co
miskey, a condition which arose
out of the sour worlds series Of
1918 and the Black SOX.
This may have had something to
do with Comiskey's decision to drop
Collins and appoint Schalk.
In any case. the Red Sox need a
manager, and Eddie Collins IS a. lib'
erty. AS Connie Mack said:

Mystery Deepens
In Case Evangelist
At Los Angeles, Calf,

Los Angeles, July 21.-(P)-An-
other phase of the Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson kidnapping investiga ton
has ended with little light thrown on
the various mysterious angles of the
case as far as the public is concern
ed.
After an exhaustive inquiry, In
Guiding summoning of witnesses
from many parts of the country and
collection of a mass of evidence, the
Los Angeles County grand jury yes
terday reported nothing had been
found to warrant indictments for
kidnapping.
Before making its report, the jury
considered blank indictments pre-
pared by district attorney Asa
Keyes, against two men and a wom-
an, who Mrs. Mcpherson alleged
abducted her and held her for ran
som.
When Mrs Mcpherson disappear
ed May Is at the beach at Ocean
Park, her mother. Mrs. Minnie Ken
nedy, and others said she was
drowned. Thousands Of the pastors
followers and members of Angelus
Temple, her -four square gospel"
mourned and held a memorial meet
ing. Then, on June 20, Mrs. McPher-
son reappeared at Aqua Prieta,
Mexico, and said she had been kid
mapped.
Had the grand Jury returned a
blanket indictment against the al
legged kidnappers the action would
have been construed as substantial
ing the evangelist's story. The only
official comment on the grand jury S
failure to find a true bill came from
Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan,
who directed the investigation. The
action of the grand jury explains
fully the weight of the evidence In
the case, was his brief explanation.
Attorneys for Mrs. McPherson'
however, see a vindication of the
evangelist's kidnapping story In the
findings of the grand jury.
The official investigation not only
bears out her story and proves 1t
true. but reveals her to the world as
a truthful upright woman who has
withstood the attacks, in a religious,
God fearing manner" her three law
yers declared in statement given
out at Angelus Temple.
District Attorney Keyes and At
torneys for Mrs. Mcpherson indicat-
ed they were anxious to continue the
inquiry until the case was cleared up.
The evangelist's counsel declared the
grand jury had only added another
chapter to the investigation and
promised revelations in the near fu-
ture. with possibly the capture OF
the kidnappers.
From District Attorney Reyes
came the statement that his office
would not let up in its efforts to
solve the mystery until Kenneth U.
Ormiston, former radio operator at
Angelus Temple and said now to be
in New York, returned here for
questioning. Ormiston In a letter to
Keyes informed the district attorney
that he had no intention of testify
ing in the case because he had no
knowledge of the evangelist's move
ments during the time of her dis
appearance, as several witnesses tes-
tilted.
