~ HICAGO, December 27.-Ty
Cobb and iris Speaker moved
on Washington today, pre-
sumably to look over the
bats in the Federal dugout,
hopeful of finding one with which to
knock "out of the park the charges
thrown at them by Dutch Leonard,
former American League pitcher.
Neither Speaker nor the attorney
who accompanied him would offer any
explanation of their trip to the Capital,
but the fact that Speaker and Cobb
planned to be in Washington at the
same time was regarded as significant.
Cobb. who left his Augusta, Ga,
home with the din of enthusiastic
avowals of faith of his townfoik in his
integrity still echoing. was equally
reticent. Cobb, however, has indicat-
ed that he will not be satisfied until
he has been cleared of Leonard s
charges. made public last week by
Commissioner Lands. that he had
taken part in game that was fixed
September %, 1919.
Two Possibilities Seen.
Two possibilities are seen as the two
star outfielders line up for the first
time in their many years in base ball
against the same pitcher-a former
teammate of both. One is that the
Post Office Department may be asked
10 Investigate, with the possibility that
Matchmaking charges may be pre-
ferred in connection with the cor
respondence which forms the basis Of
the allegations against Cobb and
Speaker.
Another possibility is that Cobb and
Speaker may confer with congress
sional leaders who have expressed
belief in their innocence. Two other
chapters, one in sympathy with Cobb
and Speaker, the other hostile, were
written yesterday

AnacOstia Eagles, unlimited cham
pions Of last year. had little trouble
with the Wonder Five, trouncing the
all-star aggregation, % to 16. Superior

Eagles, with six baskets from scrim-

Indiana, Illinois and Ohio were

The Farmers
The report shows the tariffs on
wool and sugar beats, increase
farm prices about $S59,O0O Against
this, the farmers lose $4,S25,OOO in
increased prices, because Of the az.
rlcultural schedules and the rest of
the State pays $10,761 900 in in
creased prices.
When to these are added the
manufacturers schedules, Indiana
consumers lose sos, 1912, 900 on the
latter alone, of which the farmers
lose $3S.107, 900 and the city pop
ulation loses $70,805, 900. Against
this loss to Indiana is to be offset
the tariff profits of Indiana stock
holders In her steel, glassware, china

these are owned by great eastern
