NoT AFTER U. 5. AID

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-(P-Intima-
tion that they will not seek aid from
the government in the baseball scan
dial was made tonight by Ty Cobb and
Iris Speaker, former American league
baseball stars, during a fleeting visit
to this city after which they departed
for Cleveland.
The two former big league managers
met in hotel here late today with
W. H. Boyd, a Cleveland attorney, who
is said to b5 representing Speaker.
After conference the three departed
together for Cleveland at 1928 p m.
Only guarded statements as to what
took place were given out, but it was
understood that they would not bring
the charges of alleged participation in
betting and fixing baseball game
before any governmental department.
II have sought no aid in the case
from any government official or de-
partment," declared Cobb.
Speaker referred newspapermen to
his ATTORNEY as his spokesman, while
Boyd said, give me credit for know
ing that the government has nothing
to do with this case"
Neither Cobb nor Speaker would dis
cuss future plans and dismissed the
subject with the laconic announcement
that they were headed for Cleveland.

CONGRESSMAN, SENATOR MAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-P-Repre-
sentative Kelly, republican. Pennsyl-
vania, is considering Introduction of a
resolution when congress reconvenes
next week, proposing an inquiry into
the Speaker-Cobb Lands baseball con-
troversy
He said today that from the evil
dence as presented in the newspapers,
Commissioner Landis was hardly justi-
fled in his findings, it appears to me,
adding:
MY deep interest in baseball may
result in my offering resolution TO
authorize congressional committee or
the Federal trade commission to de-
termine the relation of baseball to the
antitrust act
A damage suit against the National
and American league heads and against
Commissioner Lands was suggested
today by Senator Elarris, democrat,
Georgia, friend of Cobb's, as one means
of redress open. He believed the suit
could be prosecuted under the anti
trust laws and that the controlling
powers of baseball could be held re-
sponsible for destroying Cobb's and
Speakers earning power as baseball
players"
He said Cobb had been treated out
rageously," and that he was ready to
assist him in any way possible. He
thought that the matter was beyond

OFarrell was named by a COM
mittee of sports writer's as the
most valuable man to his team In

was one of the main cogs in the

The new Cardinal leader came hers
in the middle of the 1926 season from
the Chicago Cubs in exchange for
Mike Gonzales and Howard Freigau.'
He was born at Waukegan, ILL.,, Oc'

Q Farrell as the "'most valuable man
on any team"
The new leader is popular with
both fans and players.

Corn finished A to % down, oats
unchanged to u A@% cent off, and pro-
visions unchanged to Is cents decline.
Almost from the outset, wheat values
moved up grade. There was no pres
sure to sell at any time, and although
the market eased down little at
times, on account of pronounced weak
ness which developed in corn the en-

a liberal increase looked for the United
States wheat visible total on Monday.
On the other hand, primary receipts
this week were 4,652,00 bushels less
than last week, and a further notable
reduction appears likely after the rush
of farm offerings from eastern terri
tory is over.
Reports of threshing delay due to
further rain in the America nand Ca
madam northwest tended to give ad-
ditional strength to the wheat market
and so likewise did some fear of frost
danger in Canada. The weekly fore
