NO EXECUTIONS IN DENMARK

% Fol some years Denmark has been practically
. without capital punishment. Now the Minister of
"Justice proposes to make it legally He will intro
duce the next parliament legislation looking to the
statutory abolition of capital punishment. This leg
islatioH will at the time provide for life imprson
.ment without possibility of pardon.
"a This is something that appeals to many Ameri-
who do not feel right about capital punishment
although they hold that long as it is the penalty
provided by law fer certain crimes it should be carried
out. Life Imprisonment, it is recognized, would be
just effective capital punishment in protecting
society if it to be really life imprisonment The
frequency OF pardon and parole however has put this
form OF punishment into disrepute and strengthened
capital punishment.
Capital punishment is, of course, the taking of
human life The fact that it is done in defense of
cety and in punishment for crimes may Justify
it in the eyes Of many but does altar the fact
that it is egalized killing which may have brutazng
effects the very society is supposed to protect
The whole subject needs serious thought in this
country. 1t life imprisonment made to
precisely what it says, perhaps could do away with
hanging and eectrocuton aids to justice.

The average reader of base
ball news can now draw a genu-
inc sigh of relief in the knowl-
edge that from now on his
favorite literature will concern
baseball in the common accepta-
ton Of the term-not the SEN
sationalisms Of which the days
news seems to be satiated.
Il one reads rightly, one may
well believe that no more ghosts
are to be trotted out of base
balls archives and that, so far
rs is known, every little spot
on the game has been sent to
and returned from the cleaners.
The popular question now has
to do with the effect which this
winters house cleaning will
have on the game. By the term
effect" is implied. the attend
ance at the games and the
cadence with which the turn
stiles will click. VIII the fans
attend or stay away? win the
cash registers Of organized base
ball sing their customary tune?
1t is our humble belief that in
the long run this winters mn
heavel in baseball win have a
salutary reaction on the ma
tional pastime. On many sides
one can hear folks saving chew
have gone to their last game,
but this expression and the atti.
tude responsible for it viii dis
appear as time goes on.
Mature reflection will con.
vince most people who wish to
be fair-minded that all who had
charges to make against the
game were invited to come for
ward and that ultimately little
was proven to give the game or
people in it black eye, What
weakness disclosed were human
ones and that item has to be
allowed for in every line of en-
deavor.
The very best thing that the
late chapter in baseball is go
ing to accomplish for the game
is to convince the players that
they must keep themselves alb
solutely above suspicion in all
Of their contacts-on and of
the field. They have been
taught the lesson that they must
not associate with gambling in
any way IL they would be
ethical.
The cases Of Cobb and Speaker
have proven to them that
some minds will grasp the tiniest
straw in order to ruin mans
career ,and that ever-so-slight
evidence will be invoked by the
enemies of the game in order
to bring it to disgrace.
With this knowledge you win
find smart bali players avoiding
unseemly associations. You will
see a higher character Of BAH
player developed. They know
they will be watched and il
they expect their profession to
prosper and IL they expect good
times to obtain, they win bend
backward to set a high stand
ard Of conduct. And who
wouldn't?
Out Of this regime win come
the best type of bali player the
game has ever known. In the
long run, the sport will benefit
by what at the present may ap-
pear, to be q setback, but
which should prove to be only
temporary.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-01-28

That Cobb and Speaker will be
permitted to escape from the
American League seems to be
about as probable as the tale, cir.
Suiated some days ago, that base.
bali planned to placate lands by
hiring George Wharton Pepper for
100000 year and placing him
under the judge, who has worked
seven years to achieve piffling
$65 900.
The Cobb-for-speaker trade be.
tween Detroit and Cleveland ia
another perfectly good story that
has failed to stand the test OF
time but Barrow's prediction ID
that competition for the pair will
be- red hot among the remaining
six clubs in the league.
The really sincere stampede
would seem to be ON among
the Browns, Red Sox, Senators
and Athletics. The others
would be glad TO take Cobb
and Speaker. But the quartet
mentioned would be ticlxled
CadaverOuss
Speaker, they say, is in far greater
demand than Cobb and unless the
Cleveland club gives him an I'M
conditional, release, 1t is not likely
that Iris viii be landed except at
the expense of players on the flat
foot.
Navin's action in waving all re
strictions Is all the more generous
In view of TIE fact that the Tigers
are crying out loud for infielders
and Connie Mack could have salts
fled the want. However, the gen.
eral understanding is that the
placing OF Cobb and Speaker viii
be done for the hetterment Of the
league as a whole and that their
appearance in st. Louis and Boston
would strengthen the two weak
clubs. Barrow's information. there.
fore, may be on the plumb-bob
level.
cobb and Dan HOwley have
been friends for years." Edward
observed. THAT makes the idea /.
look sound. The same thing
goes for Speaker In Boston. It
Ii the town where he first got
his reputation and Bill Carrigan
Is the man he worked UNDER"
The point, however, ia that
Speaker will not be permitted to
pick his own spots. Speaker In
Boston probably would be highly
acceptable to all parties concerned,
with the possible exception Of Cleve-
land. The Red Sox haven't much to
offer in return.
The Washington Griffmen also
seem to have a lot of bright ideas
on the subject. The Yanlxs appar.
emily are only nominally interested;
they have four good outfielders now.
\ The White Sox likewise are pretty
well heeled in this department,
