ing statements made by Johnson 1t seems that the reasons are not ser ious enough to keep the two stars out of baseball.
 Johnson started his latest-and per- haps his last feud with Landis by making statement that Cobb and Speaker never would be allowed to play in the American league for sev- eral reasons that were known only to the American league owners.
 Landis then demanded a meeting with the club owners to get the se- cret information hinted at by John- son. and Johnson has been making so many conflicting statements that it looks as if he had no case against the two players or that he is holding out details for the meeting.
 Smart baseball men were of the opinion that the meeting Monday will finish the career of Johnson and that Cobb and Speaker will be vim dicated or that if Johnson is spared, the two players he accused will be exonerated.
 It was understood that the Giants are still interested in the outcome of the case as it concerns Cobb be-

BALL PLAYERS AND
 GAMBLING ACTIONS
Their Connection With Horse
 Racing Being Probed

Chicago, Jan. 21 (UP)-Interests Of baseball players in horse racing has become an important phase of the present agitation over baseball scandals.
 From the beginning of the 1927 purifying season in the national sport there have been stories about, more or less publicly, of this player or that having been a follower of the races. But developments in the last A | hours brought to the front the name of Clay Folger, head of Cleveland | detective bureau, as the man who had placed bets on the ponies for 1 the Cleveland team. As a result this issue probably will be one of the things brought up at Mondays con- i ference in Chicago.
 Folgers' entry into the situation l brought the racing angles of the case enough into the foreground to ! elicit from him the information that ! he had placed many bets for ball 1 players and that it was Ban Johnson who finally stopped him. Folger was employed at the Cleve- land ball park, patrolling the grounds, and it was on Johnson's or ! ders that he was relieved.
 Folger said he had appeared be- fore Commissioner K. M. Landis and told his story and also had told the commissioner that it was common practice for ball players to bet on ! horses.
 For years I placed their bets" he said, but l was finally stopped by American League headquarters" Col. Jake Ruppert of the Yankees added a bit to the general gaiety with a mild attack on Ban Johnson, American League head, because of Johnson's alleged statement that if ! "Landis wants to investigate some thing, why doesn't he take up the 1922 worlds series?"
 In that series the Giants defeated 1 the Yankeesoin five games, so the Colonel's irritation over the refec- ton on his own employes might be termed natural.
 | As soon as Rupert's criticism of the statement reached Johnson, the American League president en- phatically denied making it.
 Johnson explained that in a talk with newspapermen he had men | toned the various rumors that have sprung up after every worlds series since 1917 and that he had been ! misunderstood.

views have vigorously denied that
the Maryland raise in the gas tax
will affect In any way the District of
Columbia and emphasized that no
question Of reciprocity was involved In
the recent action Of the Legislature.
This is indeed a reassuring state
ment, as propaganda had already been
started to convince Washington that a
two-cent raise in the gas tax to match
that of Maryland was not only neces-
sary in reciprocity 81: would. even
with retention of the personal tax on
automobiles, be the very finest thing
for both the District and the State.
1t is easy to understand, therefore,
the relief felt at the attitude of Mary
land officials. 1t is not that Washing
ton disapproves Of the gas tax as a
method of raising revenue from the
motorist. 1t is much fairer, more uni.
form and less irritating than the per.
sonal tax on automobiles.
Gas tax as substitute for the per-
sonal tax would be welcomed, but not
as an additional burden.
When, in 1924, the gas tax was i'm
posed, both houses of Congress, after
due elaboration, refused emphatically
and pointedly to eliminate the personal
tax on automobiles in order that the
gas tax might be substituted for 1t.
All indications point to a like han
ding Of the proposition by the next
Congress, IL the issue is revived.
Washington is not yet convinced Of
the necessity. in order to catch up
with World War arrearages of street
building and repairs, for a strikingly
large permanent increase in the an
nual revenue from motorists, or of the
justice to meet a temporary emer-
gency of making the motorists spe-
cial tax burden heavier by more than
a million dollars in every year of the
indefinite future.
With Maryland's disclaimer of any
attempt to foist on Washington any
OF her motor laws or any of her
tax-raising laws, the atmosphere has
become clear again. 1t is assured now
that no effort will be made by the
Maryland delegation in the approach
ing session of Congress to raise the
gas tax here. Best of all, however, is
the fact that the new-found harmony
between the District and Maryland
will continue and residents of Balti-
more and Washington and other
points in Maryland can carry on with
out a trace of bitterness over what
threatened to become a perennial traf-
hc controversy.

inexplicable irony Of life, which seem
ingly saved q hero from the death OF
the battlefield only for the pleasure
Of killing him at last by no more noble
means than q brick tilted on his head
from a roof.
To modernists this attitude is the
sheerest sort of buncombe. Chance &C.
counts for all. That a man should be
one of three to escape from a ship
wreck, only to lose his life in a bus
disaster, is just something else that
happens. Fate has nothing to do
with it.
The old idea Of fate was induced, no
doubt, by the still more ancient be-
lief that there resided in all things a
spirit, generally of evil, which had to
be propitiated. Much of the misan-
thropic way of thinking prevalent
even today may be traced to this old
idea.
In some unaccountable way the
elder gods" and "goddesses" had a
rather disagreeable way of playing
sad tricks on mankind. Ones fate"
usually meant ones disaster"
There still fingers in the world some
similar idea, which has been modified
largely, however, by the essential
goodness of the Christian doctrines.
To those who, in the love Of Christ,
believe in the Fatherhood OK God,
there Is a good fate as well as an evil
one, and equally so whether a man
lose his life at sea or on land.

Bishop of Washington.

might be despoiled, the familiar build
ings long since reduced to ruin, but
even In spite of this they would ASK
the way to Zion with their faces
thitherward." Yes, they would return
to the homeland with one supreme
conviction, namely, that they would
enter into a new covenant with the
God of their fathers-a covenant or
agreement that should never be for
gotten. Their long absence had but
served to intensity their love and zeal.
This is no unique or unusual incident,
1t Is quite common to all of us. There
come times in life when even In the
face of environing comforts and lux
uries we turn with deepened interest
and renewed affection to early associa-
tons That's constitute the setting of
youths experience. Some one once
said. There's not a man that lives
that has not known his Godlike hours.
These Godlike hours stir up within us
the old emotions, the familiar scenes,
the clean and wholesome practices and
the devotional habits of other days.
When we cease to have continuing
interest in these things we lose out
of life its chief source of inspiration
and refreshment. After all, our surest
anchorage Is in the safe harbors pro-
vided for us by those who know us
best and love us most truly. The cur
rents of life today are swift and
strong. The age is one that is be-
wilderingly fascinating, colorful and
Kaleidoscope in It's swift changes.
This very condition renders more inn
perative that we should stand for
those refinements of speech and habit
that alone guarantee to us whole
some domestic and social conditions.
No matter what later custom and
usage may dictate, it is clearly evident
that there are certain fundamental
things that are indispensable to moral
development and enrichment. Whether
we think so at times or not, we are
"incurably religious" and we cannot
develop morally or spiritually in our
generation unless we firmly adhere
to those habits and practices that in
other times have given strength and
stability to life.
If we would live in the present, we
must respect the experiences of the
past. If we would secure what we
hold of success and prosperity, we
must return to ways and practices
that are wholesome, clean and refresh
ing.
