Upon receipt of long teIe-
gram from Senator Watson say
ing he was unable to get to Chi
cagO personally to refute the tes-
timOny involving him because of
his injuries in am automobile acci-
dent, and asking that Reed trans
fer the hearing to Indianapolis
at once, Reed announced he would
come to Indianapolis and inter
view Watson i'm his room in the
Methodist Hospital next week.
Walb testified that Jacob Meyers
bankers, but that Meyers had gone
to Kansas City, Mo.
What Walb Forgot
The chairman evidently did not
know that the Meyers to whom he
evidently referred had been away
from indianapolis for several
months, going to Kansas City to be-
come the editor of a publication of
the Christian Church.
Walb likewise was uninformed
upon the fact that Joseph Meyers,
,Jr., the man he evidently intended
to accuse, formerly was a church
news expert on an Indianapolis
newspaper and later secretary of the
local branch Of the National Council
for the Prevention of War. It's Of
fees were jointly used by DR.. Tay-
lor, head of the social welfare de-
partrhent of the Christian Church
in America.
Having drawn Meyers in by a
false name and admitting that he
had never seen him, Walb proceed
ed to drag in DIR. Amos Hershey Of
Indiana University as one of the
"conspirators" in his charge of cor
ruption because DR.. Hershey had de-
livered addresses from time to time
in favor of the League of Nations.
Deeper and Deeper
Then Walb wallowed deeper in his
own net by saying that DIR. Fred
erick Libbey of Washington was an
other, and tried to hide behind the
American Legion by quoting Paul
McNutt, State commander, as his
authority.
Reed at once subpoenaed DIR

pert in international law and history

was on the stand. He was such an
unwilling witness that Reed dis
missed him with the remark:
II hope Mr.. Bossert, that as an
attorney you are more fortunate in
selecting communicative witnesses
than have been with you"

But whether the Cardinals win the
championship or not. they have found
a first-class manager, one who eats
and sleeps base ball and dreams about
it. A year ago Hornsby was great
ball player. He always had been that.
McGraw angled for him. Chicago
fished for him. Brooklyn made bona
fide offer to get him. other. teams
would have liked to have him, but the
ante was too high.
1t would have been great invest
ment for the New York club if the
Giants had been able to land Hornsby.
But it would not have been great
investment for Hornsby. He knows
it now, although there was a. time
not so long ago when he was anxious
to work for McGraw. 1t would have
been a great investment for the Chi
cago Cubs; it would have made them
definitely one of the elect. 1t might
have been an even better investment
for Brooklyn, perhaps even better
than the late president of the club
imagined when he made the largest
offer for him. that ever was made
by any club.
What Hornsby might have done for
Brooklyn in view of what has hap
pened in the last year or two Is
problematical. He might have been
whipped into the limelight earlier
than he was
With all his confidence in himself
and his team, Hornsby is a modest
chap and worthy of the great popu-
larity he undoubtedly will enjoy If he
wins a pennant for st. Louis.

Tie no longer is merely the batting

fighting for them from the 18th day
of April until the season closes, and
if the breaks of base ball go with
