n 7 EW YORK. April 2.-Among
IN the cauny and conservative
/ VI managers In baseball, Count
Connie Mack and John j.,
McGraw. confidence may be oozing
from their, pores and brain cells, but
they don't make a habit of issuing
rosy statements as TO their pennant
chances.
When most managers in the major
leagues have had five years of expert
ence they are loathe to make predic-
tions about championships. Now and
then there is one who becomes enthu
siastic over his players. If they fail
to do, as well as he thinks they
should, he may become depressed,
but seldom discouraged. 1t is wonder
full to ahave a disposition like that,
especially if you are the custodian
of a perennial tail-ender.
Before the season of 1926 began,
Connie Mack was asked what he
thought of his chances. All the boys
had been predicting a pennant for the
Philadelphia Athletics. Connie looked
at the sky and then at the ground.
Il don't like them.'' he said, with
abrupt frankness. They don't please
me-
Mack Has the Pitching.
He had them right. This year he
was asked again what he thought of
his team.
Wei. he said with the gravity of
dean, Il see things in them that
look good to me. l think we have
pitching,
That is a great deal for Connie
Mack to say
McGraw never said he would win
championship. Now and then he
has said that he thought he had
good team. lie said it in 1925 but the
boys played him cruel. He thinks il
again this year. He is quite confident
that he has better team than in
1926. But he doesn't say offhand that
he will win pennant.
Rogers Hornsby said the st. Louis
Cardinals of 1926 had chance to win
the pennant. He kept his slogan GO
ing and whether he believed it or not
he impressed it on his players. Ask
Bob O'Farrel1 what he things of his
chances this year and he suggests
that he is about as well off as Hornsby
was

immigration authorities ordered
Miers deported following his arrival
here from Genoa, Italy, Jan. %,
aboard the steamer Texas. He had
slowed away for five days before
hunger caused him to come out of his
hiding place.
The attention Of Clarence barrow,
Chicago criminal lawyer, has been
called to the case and he has promised
to argue Miers' side before Federal
Judge Erwin. Meanwhile he has in
terested the local firm Of Ambrecht
and Hand to aid the boy.
There are 125,O0O,OOO Americans
in this country, borrow said. "One
boy of his age. who speaks English
and claims to be an American cannot
hurt them by remaining here"
Miers who claims he>is II years old,
says he was born in New York City
and taken to Naples, Italy when four
years old His father was John
Miers, an American, and his mother
Of Italian birth but he does not re-
member her name.
His parents died several years ago
in Italy, Miers claims. When the fam
lily moved to Italy, they also took two
sisters. both Of whom married and are
living in Italy, but he has forgotten
their names.
An older brother, now about 80
years old, was left in this country
and it is through him that George

rushed to the defense of the memory
Of his former ally, Gladstone. Echoes
OF long forgotten pre-war political
deals were heard about the court
room when "Tay Pay" took the stand
in the libel suit started by Captain
Peter Wright's book, Portraits anC
Criticisms"
Wright had stated as matter of
fact that the statesman Gladstone, the
representative of British liberal fac
tory owners, was hypocrite on sex
matters, and while posing as the ex-
tremist Of Victorian puritans, actu
ally knew intimately various ladies
the demi-mond, and was susceptible
to the intIigues OF female intelna

Gladstone was governed by his
Seraglio," meant only that his family

NEGRO SLAVERY
Still PRACTISED
BY LA. PLANTERS
Two Whites Arrested
For Enslaving Family

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb 3. -
Charges Of wholesale practice of an
cient slave tactics in Amite county,
Miss. were being investigated by
federal officers out Of New Orleans
today, following the Indictment Of two
nen by the federal grand jury or
charges Of violating the Peonage act.
The men, Webb Bellue and John
L. Afford were specifically charged
with abduction, sale and enslavement
of a family of five Negroes.
Federal officers said they have
evidence that the two men went to
the home of Crawford Allen, SO, Ne
gro, near the -SJuisiana border in
Mississippi and after Selling the Ne
gro, his daughter, wife and two small
children took them to F. Hurst, plan
'tation owner, and sold them for $40.
The five were forced to work with
cat wages for several weeks, federal
officers declared.
Federal investigators said they al
so learned that many families Of Ne
groes are being worked in that sec
ton under pretense of farm-hands or
share troopers, while they are virtu-
ally slaves and live under worse con-
oitions than slaves before the Civil
War
