For these brave words AL Smith
was quite properly chastised by the
powers behind the political scenes. In
the November returns, Governor
Nathan L. Miller, now batting for the
BIN. T. in the transit hearings, was
returned victor. Miller promptly
showed his mettle. We do not need
to call Nathan vile names. 1t is suf-
ficient to record his activities!
He had hardly taken office when
measures were instituted to have
enacted the bill by which the present
New York State Transit Commission
was established. No publicity was
given to the new enactment and the
whole proceeding was carried out al
most in secret. The bill provided for
q so-called "unification' plan, the es-
sential feature of which was that the
old scrap and junk of the traction
lines would be passed off on the city
at a figure to be established by the
newly organized Transit Commission
In conjunction with the transit COM
panies.
Business Protests.
When the plan became public it
met with some opposition Accord
ingly a method was hit upon to
silence public disapproval. It was ar
ranged to have a letter sent to the
governor in which were to be en-
bodied the existing criticisms Of the
"legalized" swindle of 1921. This let
ter, written by one Of the republican
henchmen, Frederick L. Crawford,
chairman of the Transit Committee
of the Brooklyn Chamber of Com
merce, was made public and duly IAN
swered" by the governor.
Crawford's letter referred to the
traction bill and "the apprehension in
the minds of the public" as to its
outcome. 81 believe" the obliging
governor wrote in reply, that the bill

way for just solution Of the problem
in the public interest. The new
act simply prevents mere obstruction

eliminate the opportunity to play
politics with great business,

The governor is hardly to be
blamed that his prediction did not
come true. sHe did the best he could.
But Crawford, the governors appre-
hensive fellow citizen, wished to be
assured further as ito the personnel
of the commission to be appointed.
To this the governor also replied in
terms of father reinsurance: Gear

Peter Ficeroto, Trippi, and Saliva

have been released from jail after
serving five months and one week
They were arrested during the gen
eral strike of the Paper Box Makers
Union last winter. The sentence was
from six months to three years but
the union, Of which the three prison
ers were good and loyal members, had
been trying the utmost to effect com
mutation for the men.
A special meeting of the executive
board was held Tuesday at which a
hearty reception was given to the
brothers. It was decided to arrange
a dance and package party at which
all members and friends Of the union
will welcome the three brothers into
the ranks of the union. The affair
will take place in the second week Of
June, date to be announced later.

top price" After great deal of
bargaining he raised it to $4,000. Boil

meet again today to make final ar
engagements.
As soon as the conversation ended
the workers who had been listening
to the conversation raced upstairs to
the membership meeting and told in
detail what they had just heard over
the phone. Several of the listeners
had been slightly skeptical in the
past about the charges made by the
left wing, but after what they heard
over the telephone they became firm
ly convinced that the position of the
militant elements of the union is en-

American League pennant on two
between-season developments, the
assembly Of varied assortment of
pitching talent and the addition of
iris Speaker.
The Senator's have 81 pitchers,
many Of them knocking at the big
league door for the first time. So
many arms are at concert pitch in
the Washington camp there are not
enough catcherssto make up the other
end of the combination, and two have
been engaged locally to serve for the
duration Of the training period. After
that there won't be SO many pitchers.
That iris Speaker has "made the
club" is the statement Of President
Clark Griffith and Manager Buckley
Harris. Spoke" has AZ much enthus-
iasm as any youngster in the camp
and moves about the field with an
ease that bellies his 40 years.
Speaker will do more for Washing
ton than play center field. He will
be sort Of captain Of the outfield,
working with Goose Goslin in left
and Sam Rice in right.
Sensational fielding by Bobby
Reeves, former Georgia Tech captain,

another one of it's last-minute spurts
to defeat .the Ashley Saints by q 80
to 20 score.
The Mandan- Garrison game was
rather slow, the first quarter ending
with the score two all. As time went
on, the Braves increased their lead
through consistent and secdy play
ing and soon had Garrison trailing.
The Washburn-Ashley game was
an even battle until the final quar-
ter, when Grothc and Skaley of
Washburn "got hot" and commenced
to toss in counters. Ashley worked
smoothly and did good floor work,
Mccoy continuing the excellent
work which should bring his name
up for consideration when the all
district teams are selected tonight.
The consolation game will be play
ed between Garrison and Ashley at

Mandan, in this mornings game,
played with a smoothness and speed
that should betoken victory tonight
but the shadow cast by Washburn's
spectacular climb has made the re-
suit of the game seem in doubt.

month to assemble enough members

Yet records in the senate library

Billy Evans Says

Favorable Reaction
, A lot of things have happened in
baseball since the close of the 1926
race.
Not during the % years have
spent in the majors can I recall an
off-season replete with so many SEN
sations.
There was considerable washing
Of dirty linen, some of which remains
soilcd. TO me most of it was much
ado about nothing.
] have been asked any number of
times if ] believed the scandals of
1876 would react unfavorably on
baseball.
My reply has always been the
same - II do not think So" OF
course ! have any number of rea-
sons for my optimistic attitude, the
most important being that the game
is far greater than any individual
or group.
1t may surprise, but now that all
the tangles have been Strengthened
out, l look for the unpleasant hap
penings of the past winter to react
for the good of the game.
The Ever Suspicious
True. the accusations that were
banded back and forth last winter
have created tendency toward sus-
picion.
But after all, there always have
been a lot of people interested in
SPORT ever ready to point the
finger of suspicion at any act that
failed to meet with their approval.
These pessimistic folk probably
will be oversuspicious this summer
when some player errs on the easiest
sort of a chance. They will leave
the park wondering what his price
was.
This, of course, is unfortunate, but
far from being entirely new. 1t has
been my experience that if one de-
sIres to get into an argument, he
never has the slightest trouble in
getting plenty of hearers willing to
swear all sports are crooked.
Play the Game
1t is my thought that the ball
Iiayers are going to display a bet
ter spirit this season. l look for it
TO be prevalent from start to the
finish OF the schedule.
IN the past it has been more or

out of the money or had their
money positions cinched, to play
careless, Indifferent baseball.
While there is nothing actually
wrong in such methods, other than
the failure to give their best efforts
al the way, major league ball
players are certain to be far more
thorough on this point.
For time, at least, the. fans are
certain to be more critical and they
have every right to be. Careless
methods have laid the players open
to suspicion, when really nothing
was in error. The players have
created the unpleasant situation and
must clean it up.
The one positive way to regain
any confidence that has been lost
is to fight to the finish, give ones
