BROOKLYN NOT
BENEFITED BY
PLAYER SWAP
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
(Unitad Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 9.-Four Ma
tional league players shifted clubs
today, consummating two deals Of
apparently no Importance, but en-
phasizing the efforts of three man
agcrs--John McGraw, Wilbert Rob
inson and Donie Bush-to get their
clubs rounded out for a pcnnant
race quite likely to make baseball
history.
The prospect of seeing seven
clubs battle for the National league
pcnnant may be reserved for the
nation s baseball fans this season,
and if the Boston Braves should
fail in their expected comeback, "A
six corncrcd race even wOuld be
something Of novelty.
Jockeying players around for this
midsummer madness is quite under
standable, but when the New York
Giants go out and buy Russell
Wrishtstonc from the PhilIics and
the Brooklyn Robins trade Charley
lIargrcaves to the Pirates for Joe
Harris and Johny Gooch, that is
enough to make most any fan ask:
What for!'
The Giants only recently sold Art
Jahn, a promising looking, out
fielder from the Pacific Coast
league to the Philies at the waiver
price, and now they turn around and
give the money back to William +.
Baker for Wrightstonr, who has
evolved from a third baseman to a
first bascman to an outficlder.
McGraw's announced plan for
Wrightstonc is to use him as an
undcrstudy fer Bill Terry at first
and as pinch hitter.
On the face of it, the Robins got
all the worst Of it in their trade
with the Pirates. IIargrcavcs is a
Younger and better catcher than
Goocs and it viii take another lease
on life by Harris to give Brooklyn
the better Of the deal.

MEXICO CITY. May 23.-One of
the greatest of the recent series of
rebel-federal battles, in which a
gunboat aided with heavy lombard
mentS. was reported today with the
casualty list definitely established
at Ill men dead. Official adviceS
said 103 persons had been injured.
The attack occurred when several
hundred rebels attempted to take
the west coast city of Manzanillo.
They advanced, according to an
official report from General Hello

State of Colima. at dawn on Fri
day after cutting off commInica-
tions leading into the city.
Thirty soldiers were in Mama
milo, and they were aided by local
citizens and constabulary. 1t was
an uneven battle until a gunboat
in the harbor started bombarding
the rebel positions.
Meanwhile, infantry and cavalry
troops rushed in from Colima City
and took up the battle after the
outnumbered Manzanillo local
troops had been in several street
clashes with the advancing rebels.
The battle lasted throughout the

SENATE QUIZ TO
Be HELD HERE
viii Investigate Hoover,
Watson Expenses.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The
Senate investigation of presidential
campaign expenditures will be taken
to Ohio and Indiana this week if
Congress adjourns before Thursday
West Virginia expenses will be in
veStigated next week.
The committee plans to go TO Co
lumbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati
to obtain data on expenditures in
the Hoover and anti-Hoover cam
paigns. Reports thus far submitted,
showing approximately 100000
spent for all candidates, do not sat-
isfy the committee because they do
not include expenditures made by
various county committees.
Information received from man
ayers for Secretary Hoover and Sen
ator Watson in their Indiana con-
test does not satisfy the committee
either, and when the Ohio inquiry
is concluded the committee will go
to Indianapolis.
The committee has heard reports
that a 100000 slush fund is being
distributed in West Virginia in a
last minute effort to stop Herbert
Hoover's nomination. This will be
investigated.
The committee today will question
Louis Cassidy of Philadelphia,
Democratic politician who tele-
graphed the committee of a Ware

FLOOD Walls
Survey Expected to Show
Need of 100000 for
Repair Work.
WATER CHECK IN RUINS
Neglect of Upkeep May
Work Hardship on
Taxpayers.

indianapolis taxpayers probably
will be called upon next year to pay
the penalty of failure of previous
city administrations to keep flood
retaining walls along White River
and Fall Greek in repair.
Fall Greek walls have fallen into
ruins in a number Of places and the
huge million dollar wall along the
west bank of White River north of
Washington st. appears to be in
danger OF cracking up.
Taking cogniZance Of the necessity
of saving what is left of the walls
the board of works plans a survey
to determine how much money will
be needed. City council will be
asked to include the sum in the
1929 budget.
Walls Ten Years Old
Since the walls were built more
than a decade ago no regular ap-
preparation for flood wall repair has
been made
Harvey Cassidy, flood prevention
engineer, will direct the survey.
The board views the flood wall sit
uatioan as one of its most important
problems, Secretary Ernest w. Prick
said.
Board President Oren S. Hack
pointed out that the necessity for
a big appropriation would have
been avoided had previous admins
trations set aside a small sum each
year to repair cracks as fast as
they developed.
Fallen Away Into Water
Instead, the city has permitted
whole sections of the costly concrete
to drop off into the water. Tie
cracks have grown so wide in parts
of the White River wall that weeds
and shrubbery are growing in them.
Roots from these. aided oy dis
indignation caused by moisture seep-
ing into the cracks, are gradually
working havoc upon the strength
of the wall.
In advance of the survey no Off
cial would hazard an estimate of
the amount needed, but some be-
lieved around 100000 would be
needed to repair walls worth saw
ing and replace those in ruins.

Miss Tarbell pictures herself as

She believes repeal of the amend
