BULLDOGS TAKE End GAME OF SEASON
LANDS FACES HIS BIG MOMENT;
JAMES DENIES BRIBE TO SLOUGH

CHICAGO, Jan. .-R--Confronted
with the greatest problem of his base
ball regime, Commissioner Lands rest
ed up today after his strenuous in
QUESTION of 81 players named in the
1917 scandal by swede Risberg and
Chick Gandi.
These two collectors of the Chicago
White Sox pool for the Detroit Tigers
in that year were the only witnesses
who had not returned to their homes
tonight.
Against their testimony of fixed"
Labor day series between these two
teams, Lands must weigh the story of
Bill James, Detroit pitcher, to whom
they gave the money.
"They said nothing to me about pay
ing for a sloughed Labor day series"
James told the commissioner. They
told me the $3.50 was present for
the three games we won from Boston.
Gandil told me during that Labor day
series that the Sox would give $500 to
each Detroit pitcher who beat Boston,
and his testimony that he fixed the
Chicago Detroit series with me is an
absolute lie"
This was the climax Of the story of
the 35 players who denied the charges
of Risberg and Gandil, and having
heard this testimony, Lands appar-
entity was content with the results of
his inquiry Almost Immediately he
cut the hearing short and announced
he would give his decision at 10 a. m.
Wednesday,.
President johnson of the American
league, in which six clubs have play
ers involved in the charges, tonight
continued his policy of silence, but
admitted he might have something to
say after the commissioners decision
next Wednesday,.
Johnson was replaced on the major
league advisory board at the annual
baseball meeting a month ago and
there were reports today that Lands
might call in his conferees on that
body, Johnson and President John
Heydler of the National league.
Not since the BLACK Sox" scandal
of 1920 when Lands was called in to
clean up the game, have the major
leagues faced such a disclosure, al
though the events antedate the crooked
1919 worlds series In that affair, the
American league acted alone to Danish
the eight suspected White Sox.
In this case there are involved more
than score of players still on the
roster of the American league clubs.

when the latter is ready to relinquish
the reins. If the accepted figure for
which Hornsby signed, $4,000, is cor
rect, the new Giant infielder will re-
ceive more than his manager, Nc
Graw, and rank second only to Babe
Ruth in the high salary ranks of
major league players.
McGraw's managerial contract is un-
dcrstood to call for $4,000, but as vice
president and a large stockholder in
the club, the veteran loader profits
to a much larger extent. Babe Ruth's
salary has been $4,000 for several
years, and his new contract. starting
with the 1927 season. is expected to be
even larger. Bill Carrigan, after 10
years absence from baseball, is re-
ported to have been lured back to the
helm of the Red sox by $4,000
salary.

LOCAL QUINTET
WINS TWO GAMES
FROM BISBEE.ITES

The Y. NJ, c. A. Douglas team took
both games from the Bisbee delega-
tions last night at the "Y'' gym. Both
games were hard fought and the
scores were fairly close, being II to
IA, and 80 to 25
The local 13O-pounders started with
Warnock, March, Young, Pine and
Hughes, and Geivia and Dominguez
went in as subs. The high scorer for
the locals was Hughes, who made
seven points out of the II made.
The high point man for Bisbee was
Kenney, who made Il out of the IA
they made.
The delegation from Bisbee ''Y' con-
sisted of two teams Of the heavyweight
class, and they played one team
against the "Y'' first half and sent a
fresh team in in the second half
At the end of the firsI half the
Douglas boys were leading by the score
of 26 tog9, but the new team they sent
in after half time held the local boys
down close with four points and
brought their score up to 25.4l The
highest point man for Douglas was
Magma, with IA to his credit, then
Evans with 10. The Bisbee highest
man was Hall, with II. "A fairly good
crowd witnessed the games, which
were full of pep and snap from whistle
to whistle.

Solving Radio Chaos

The federal radio commission is faced with a
problem that is almost unsolvablc and which will
take exceeding ingenuity to even approach solu-
here are 1873 stations and no place to put them.
As matter of fact there be efficient rcgu-
alton that comprchcnds more than 300 stations in
the channels of lengths available.
The large problem, them is not only how to rcgu-
late the 800 which would be allowed, for that would
be relatively simple but to find way Of climin-
ating 433 stations. One method. of course, is to
refuse to license these stations. Another plan,
sponsored by G. c. Furness of the National Carbon
company, is to put all the stations which would
otherwise be refused licenses, in band below 200
meters and there let them create their chaos
would soon weary of the situation and remedy it
by dropping out Of the broadcasting field.
1t is difficult problem, indeed. that the
mission faces. 1t must be fair to the broadcasters
and to the listeners. In the entire broadcast band
there arc but 95 channels, each ten kilocyccs wide
This width of band has proven best for the indi-
vdual station, representing not the most efficient
band, but an irreduciblc minimum. Any plan for
the regulation Of broadcasting must. therefore, be
limited this side at least by electrical limitations
In addition it is found that geographical location
has great bearing on the question. To the layman
the whole question is maze of little understood
technical detail. All the listener can hope for is
that understand it and thus be able
to work out satisfactory solution.

Z0ning Again Upheld

For the second time the supreme court OF the
United States has upheld zoning ordinances of
municipalities which attempt to restrict certain
sections for certain purposes, such garage. resi-

one arising in Euclid, Ohio, and here the SUI
preme court swept aside all ancient prejudces and
precedents and stated definitely that cognizance
must be taken of changed conditions and the in
creased complexities Of urban life The court held
that the coming ordinance in purpose and intent
was strictly within the constitution of the United
States.
Now. for second time. a coming ordinance has
been upheld, this time in Minneapolis, where a
writ Of mandamus was sought to compel the build
ing inspector to issue permit for four-story
apartment building in . zone from which such
structures are barred by the city's coming

The Cheapest WAY

For n long tim, it has been our custom to speak
of man power the cheapest power there is.
We mention Chinese coolies who labor IL hours
a day for a few cents, and agree that this is the
cheapest sort of labor; say that such mOnu-
ments the pyramids and the Chinese wall would
have been built if the ancient rulers who con-
ceived them had not had unlimited supplies Of hu-
labor.
But as is often the case. we're wrong. Ma,
chinery-expensive. complicated machinery--is far
cheaper than the cheapest of coolies There is, one
might almost say, nothing that man can do with
his hands his back that could not be done more
quickly and cheapy by machinery.
Not long ago western business studied
the transportation Of goods from Ticntsin, China.
to the desert Of Cobb Coolies carried all this mer
chandse. moving mile after mile at steady, space
devouring trot. and working for only few cents
4 a day-probably the lowest wages received by any
faborers earth.
: On the other side Of the world-in West Virginia
and Virgna-huge freight trains carry coal from
the mines down to tidewater There are many
miles of costly track. There highly expensive
locomotives and to be built and maintained;
there are crews of we'll paid tranmen to operate
them. There has been tremendous investment Of
capital. opposed to almost investment at all
the Tientsin- Cobb route.
Yet the cost per of transporting goods in
the American coal fields is just about one per cent
Of the cost of the "cheap" Chinese transportation.
This is of Americas greatest services to the
world.
Our business and ndustrialists have forever
exploded the old belief that it is economical t.
have vast armies Of poOry-paid Woodworking
wage slaves" to do work. They have shown that,
the most elaborate and apparently costly way is
also the easiest and cheapest way
Not only is it inhumane for nation to depend
a submerged class of day laborers for its heavy
work; it is prchbitivey expensive.
That is why, day. the oppressed coolic
class, in China and in all other countries will dis
appear from the face of the earth.
The American way is better

Editorial Comment
Governor Smiths Reply
New York Times)

1t is fortunate for religious liberty in the United
States that the question whether Catholic can b.
elected president raised in the person of Alfred
E. Smith. Put aside his own political fortunes. He
may or may not be nominated for the presidency.
He may or may not be elected. But he has with
clear and direct honesty set his foot upon hideous
prejudice; a Shiny and un-Amercan superstition,
which has been threatening to dominate our public
lfe but which after this will scarcely dare to raise
its head in the open. Such is the value of personal
character demonstrated by Governor Smith, &C.
ing in and out before his fellow-citzens for more
than twenty years. The very jewel of his life has
been his unquestioned integrity Not even his bit
terest political opponent has ventured to challenge
that. And when he stands up before the whole
country, as a good Catholic and declares that in
all civil matters the church is subordinate to the
state the old charge that this is not true cannot
be raised again without accusing Alfred Smith Of
falsehood. 1t will require hardihood to do that

What. Price Oalv

During the year 1926 $3.50 men lost their live,
in American coal mines.
This fact made public by the u. S. Bureau Of
Mines, is worth considering for minute or two
If some catastrophe had taken all of those
lives the American public probably would be arrei
into action From all sides there would be de-
mands for protective measures to render such !.
tragedy impossible of repetition.
But it didn't happen that way There were Il
few disasters of major size; the rest of those
deaths were scattered-a crushed by fallin!,
rcck' here, a couple of killed by coal car
there, another killed by falling down shaft in
another place, and so on
And the price at which our coal is mnc
escaped attention.
But there are men whose attention this casualty
record has not escaped. Those are the miners
themselves. You may be sure that these men know
very well the price that is paid for coal.
Understanding that fact may help us to under
stand such things as the present coal strike. II
may help us to why these feel that they
would rather enter a long and doubtful indus
trial struggle than their wages cut their
hours Of work heightened.
Be that as it may, however, thing is
the death list is disgracefully high.
1t would be impossible to say just what shoul
be done without first making long and careful
study Of the whole situation. But it does seer
if nation that prides itself it's industrial
efficiency this nation does could find wa!
of getting its coal out of the ground without sac
rificing many lives in the process.
