ington assured a congressional air
ing, and possibly an investigation, of
the charges against them.
Representative Clyde Kelly (Rep.),
Pennsylvania, former college ball
player. is planning to introduce a
resolution calling for an investiga =
ton by the House Interstate Com
merce Committee, wfAle Representa-
tive Mcmillan Dem). South Caro-
lima. announced he would advise both
of the players TO get back on ball
clubs TO force Judge Lands, baseball
ear, to show his hand.
Baseball Big Topic
Mcmillan is a veteran of the South
Atlantic League. while Kelly played
on the team of Muskingum College
in Ohio, which the late President
Harding attended. The two were cap
tains of rival teams which played for
the House championship last season.
1t appears that baseball will be-
come a topic Of discussion on the
Senate floor after the holidays as it
has been in the Hobbies heretofore.
Many members Of the Senate yield
to the lure of the diamond when
spring brings the ball clubs back to
Washington, and slip away to the
American League ball park.
The Senate adjourned early on the
day of the opening game here last
spring, leaders finding it would be
impossible to get a quorum.
There is general criticism among
fans at the Capital of Lands action
in making the charges public after
seven years and demand that there
be complete showdown in fairness
to the two veteran players.

ment would be asked to take action
in the situation arising from publ
cation by Lands of testimony by
Dutch Leonard involving Cobb,
Speaker and Joe Wood, another for
mer baseball player, in an attempt
to throw" a game in 1919, merely
commented that 1.-The Government
never has had anything to do with
baseball"
A movement for a congressional
investigation of the Lands expose
was started on Capitol Hill, however.
Cobb held long telephone confer.
ence with Senator Harris, Georgia,
an old friend, but, according to the
Senator, did not disclose any definite
plan of seeking redress or exonera-
ton.
Damage Action Suggested
Harris said later that inasmuch as
baseball does not come within the
antitrust laws, that he thought the
best chance for Speaker and Cobb
was to seek damages against their
league for damages due to their de
creased earning power since Lands
published his statement a few days
ago. The Senator said he might
make a speech in their behalf in the
Senate after it reconvenes next Mon
day.
Baseball men, however, pointed out
that Lands had not officially barred
them from organized baseball, and
expressed opinion they would have
little grounds for action in a damage
case.
