BISHOP FOUT
ADMITS PLEA
FOR M'DONALD
Churchman Declares He Did
Not Send Letter to Jack
son, However.
WAS CHURCH OFFICER
Favored Coffin Choice Only
as Friendship Matter,
N Asserts Pastor.
WAS CHURCH OFFICER

Bishop H. H. Fout of the United
Bretheren Church today regretted
his connection with the Jackson
McCray- Mcdonald incident, into
which he was brought by letter of
Governor jackson to Boyd Gurley,
editor of The Times, Tuesday, and
declared he did not care to be mixed
with any politicians.
The Governor repeatedly has been
charged by The indianapolis Times
with having carried to Warren T.
McCray, Governor in December,
1923, an offer of $4,000 for attor-
ney fees and guarantee chat he
would not be convicted upon flnan-
cial fraud indictments then pending
if he would name James E. Nc
Donald, choice of the local Repub-
lican bosses, prosecutor of Marion
county to succeed William P. Evans,
McCray's son-in-law.
jackson in the letter to The Times
editor, dated last Saturday, but not
delivered until Tuesday morning,
declared that he did talk to Nc
Cray about Mcdonald, but only at
The request of his friend, Bishop
Tout.
Doesn't Know Coffin
Bishop Fout is in Decatur, ILL.,,
tresiding over a United Brethren
conference.
Over distance telephone he
told The Times:
II have the impression that 1 did
speak to Mr.. Jackson, when he was
\ ASecretary Of State, about MIR. Nc
4Donald.
"Yes, l have a faint recollection
chat I did. Mr.. Mcdonald was an
officer of my church and had an in
valid wife at the time and 1t was
on the basis Of this friendship that
spoke to Mr.. Jackson. He had been
g candidate for judge shortly be-
lore, you know, and had received a
nplimentary vote.
"But about that other thing, ]
don't know anything"
Pressed for what he meant by
that other thing" Bishop Fout said
he meant the part politicians played
in the attempt to get Mcdonald
named by McCray to succeed
Evans.
II mean this Coffin business. /
don't know Coffin. I'm not politi-
clan and do not desire to be entan-
gled with them"
No Letter to Governor
Asked about a report that jack
son holds letter from him setting
out that he did ask Jackson to in
tercede with McCray for Mcdonald
the bishop declared
Absolutely not. I have not writ
ten to the Governor"
Asked whether he knew McDon-
aid was a Klan member at the
time he recommended him for
prosecutor, the bishop hesitated a
moment and replied:
IL don't know. Why don't
you ask him?"
The bishop said he had been
president of the Indiana Anti
Saloon League for about three
4 years and before that had been
\ vice president for number OF
years. According to this, the bishop
was vice president of the dry league
at the time he sought to influence
the Governor, through jackson, to
appoint Mcdonald, the man whom
the Republican political ring had
decided was the man they wanted
for prosecutor.

The United States Navy
photographic office today said
Old Glory must have been just
south of the center of a severe
rainstorm when her S o S
was oroadcast at 3:09 a. m,
E. S. T., today. Rains were
general over the Atlantic, the
Navy said, and the Sir John
Carling also was flying to-
ward the heavy dewnpour.
There was possibility that Old
Glory might not be down, but it
was scant one.
Since leaving Old Orchard, Maine,
yesterday in an attempt to fly,
without stop, to Rome, Bertaud,
the pilot and radio operator. had
sent many messages reporting prog
ress and confidence. None had been

Ship Gets S OS
At 11:57 &c. s. T.) last night
Old Glory reported her position to
the Carmania as latitude 48.03
north longitude 48.43 west. Shortly
before 800 a. m. &c. S. T) today,
the Carmania received Old Glory's
S o s. A wireless message from the
vessel estimated the stricken planes
position as ITO miles north and at
right angles to the Carmania's
course to New York.
Captain Bone of the Transyl-
yania estimated his vessel to be
about eighty three miles from Old
Glory. Both shippers expected to
reach the approximate position of
the p e before dark. 1t was upon
their :hieving this feat of blind
navige.s. on that the fate of the three
men i'll the plane depended,
Against the sea and the winds the
airman had some means of defense.
Dump pumps would enable them to
empty their gas tangs in ty-eight
| seconds. Anthony Fokker, builder
Of Old Glory, estimated that twen-
ty seconds would be sufficient to
dump enough gasoline to make the
plane float.
Prepared for Emergencies
There was aboard the plane a
rubber boat, food, water, signal
flares and a Very pistol, waiting for
just such an emergency as appar
emily has arisen. Reports from the
Carmania said the sky was over
cast. There was q light wind and
moderate swell.
Old Glory's rubber boat could
weather a moderate swell for some
time. Old Glody herself would float
for several hours In moderate sea,
provided her gas tanks had been
emptied.
The drama being enacted today
in the north Atlantic was similar
to that which occurred when the
last of the Dole fight planes was
lost in the Pacific In that instance
constant stream of radio chatter
had come from the plane to shore
stations for several hours. With
out previous indication Of trouble,

A moment later the S 0 S was
countermanded, only to be repeated
again. The plane had gone into
tail spin, the earlier message said.
Presumably it never came out of it.
Ships Nearer Craft
There was a difference today,
however Ships we're near the Old
Glory when her S o S was sent.

FALCONS TO PLAY
 TWO HARD GAMES
Meet Coast Guard Tomorrow and
 Rockville Team Monday

The Falcon baseball team Of this city faces one of the hardest teams on its schedule this season when it meets the New London Coast Guard Academy team at St. Mary's field tomorrow afternoon. The sailors have formed one of the strongest combinations in years and they are anxious to set the Falcons down a peg.
 The Falcons will have Bucholz in the lineup tomorrow serving them up in his inimitable style and this will give the locals a good start on the road to a win. The same com bination that has been carrying the team on it's victorious march all year, will take the field against the invaders and there will be battle royal before either crew crawls out with win.
 The local team has been forced to be idle for the past two Sundays because of rain, but with fair wealth CT tomorrow, the players will vent their ire on the opposing pitchers and will keep up the hot pace start ed at the beginning of the season. The team practiced last night and is all set for heavy day tomorrow.
 Monday afternoon the Falcons take on another tough contender when they meet the Polish American team of Rockville. This outfit only a few weeks ago gave the Bristol New Departure team one of It's hard est games this year. It took the Endees 12 innings to score a victory and it was the breaks" more than anything else that gave the locals the edge.
 The game at St. Mary's tomorrow will see an excellent squad of base ball players trotting out against the Falcons. The squad is composed of the following: Pitchers, Mcdonald. Widner, Gartright and Charbon- neau; catchers, Rowe and Milasek; infelders, Tedel, Charbonneau. Phil lips, Shoch, Belknap and Lewis, and outfielders, Chapman, Rowe and Milasek.
 The Falcons will take the field as follows: kopec c. Bucholtz D, klat- ka 1b, w. Woiack cb. r, Woiack ss, St. Budnick 3b. Si. Budnick If. Kre- dar of, and Sheehan If.
 The game tomorrow will start promptly at o'clock with Hcrbie Sautter and Larry Mangan holding the indicators.

 Tuesday, the big event of the year for tn bag -toters" will be staged when the annual caddies tourna- ment will be played off in the morn ing. It would be we'll for the other golfers at the club to stick around and watch the boys prance through their paces on this day because, as a general rule. record scores are broken with the little fellow and the clubs bigger than himself.
 Bets are being placed on the probable winner of the caddies' event already and much more inter- est is being shown in it than was thought possible. The boys will be in their glory on that day.

|CORb|N RED SOX
 ID PLAY THREE
Go to TaftYlle Tomorrow and
 Meet InSlcOS Twice Monday

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team will play 8 trio of hard games over the holidays, meeting the Taftville J. B. Martin team tomorrow and the 1nstlcos twice on Monday. The game tomorrow will be played in Taft vile and as the locals are an an- nual attraction in the eastern town, the opposition will have its strong est outlay waiting for them.
 Monday, the locals play two games in the Central Connecticut league against one of the leading teams in the circuit. The Insilcos have a fast baseball club and the Sox will have to be at top form to turn them back on both ends of the twin bill. The first game will be staged at Will low Brook park in this city at 10 o'clock Monday morning and the second contest will be played at Hanover park in Meriden at 3 o'clock In the afternoon.
 With Walter Berg back on the fir ing line for the local team. Manager John Tobin has rid himself of a perplexing problem. The big boy has been laid up for several weeks with a broken ankle received in a game at Willow Brook park in this city but he has been pronounced OK by his doctor and he feels fit.
 It is rumored around that Berg will do the iron man" stunt Mon- day pitching both games, but Billy Schmidt will also probably draw one assignment. Riley at third is new acquisition for the Sox and he will appear with the team for the first time tomorrow afternoon.
 The Red Sox have won one and lost one in the Central league so far and Manager Tobin is out to make it two more wins on Monday. The To- cal players are anxious to get going after two weeks of enforced idleness and they promise the packers of the team hot fights in the three coming games.

SERIES WAS HARD
 LUCK FOR PITCHER
Turned in Three Best Games But Was Returned Victor Only Once
{BY BILLY EVANS)

Carl Mays of the Cincinnati Reds must be classed as the hard-luck world series pitcher. In the 1921 clash between the two New York clubs Mays, pitching for the Yankees, turned in three of the best games that have ever been hurled in the classic. yet was rewarded with only one victory.
 The 1921 series was the first meet ing between the New York clubs for world honors and naturally was a bitterly contested affair. Mays open ed for the Yankees and shut out the Giants, 80, allowing only five hits and issuing no passes.
 His next start was in the fourth game. For seven innings he held the Giants runless, only one hit be- ing made off his delivery. In the eighth session, the Giants broke his run of 16 scoreless innings and, by making six safeties in the last two sessions won the game Az. No bases on balls were given by Mays in this game.
 His third appearance was In the seventh game of the series. Instead of winning. 10, as he deserved. two infield errors gave the Giants two runs, just enough to win. Once again Mays worked the entire game without passing man.
 Thus, Mays in his three starts in a hard fought series with each game hinging on every ball pitched. didn't issue a single pass in 27 in nings. Only six runs and 1T hits were made by the Giants in the three games. yet the only one that Mays won was the shutout of the first contest.
 I doubt if better pitching has ever been wasted in the many world series that have been staged since 1903.

CITY LEAGUE TEAMS TO
 MEET THIS AFTERNOON
Burrtt-Speedboy Game On Diamond No. At O'clock, Feature Battle of Afternoon-West Ends to Op. pose Tabs" On Diamond No. 1 = Rangers and Pirates to Fight It Out On First Diamond At O'clock-Junior City League Games Today and On Monday.

With the first games over and the first estimates of themselves and their opponents made. the six City baseball league teams will swing into action again this afternoon at Wal nut Hill park. The crowds last week were quite satisfactory despite the counter-attraction of the Spanish War memorial unveiling, and larger numbers of fans arc looked for this afternoon, when the teams will have rid themselves of their opening game erratics and settled down to steady baseball.
 The feature clash of the afternoon will be the Burritt-speedboy game on Diamond No. 2 at 2 o'clock. Both teams won their games last week and will be out to stay in the un- beaten class. The champion Bur- ritts used mostly substitutes in smothering the Rangers last week and will probably have some of their road. team available for this after noon's affair. They have many new faces in the lineup but are still tho same dashing. chance-taking teap which speeded Its way to the title . year ago. The Speedboys, an en- tirely different aggregation from that which played under that name in 1926. have a team which has played together for several seasons and has experience and knowledge in spite of its youth. They showed both hit ting and fielding strength in winning from the Tabs last week.
 At 2 o'clock on Diamond No. the West Ends will oppose the Tabs. The West Ends lost . slam bang affairs to the Pirates last week by hairline margin and are out to start back toward the top this afternoon. With bunch of old timers in the lineup. they are rated one of the strongest teams in the league. The Tabs, last years luck less Robins, have come a long ways since last year and carried the Speedboys for seven innings before losing to them last week.
 At o'clock the Rangers and Pirates will play on Diamond No. 1. The Rangers failed to show much last week. but they are understood to have strengthened their team dur ing the week and will put a more potent combination on the field to- day. The Pirates have retained most of the players who forced a play-off for the championship year ago and have added several Pirates of for mer years now at college. They arc popular favorites and are considered to have the best chance of winning the title this year if their pitching staff can hold up.
 Junior City League
 The Phantoms and Laurels will clash in the Junior City league at 4 o'clock this afternoon on Diamond No. 2 at Walnut Hill park. This will be the second game in the league this week. Both teams are deadly rivals and a good battle is expected.
 Monday afternoon at o'clock. the American Legion team will play the Burritts in a Junior City league game. The Legion team appears to be one of the strongest aggregations In the junior loop and fans will have a good opportunity over the week end to judge the merits of the re- four teams in the league.
