nent or irrelevant.
HornSby is still worth 100000 in
anybody's money. He has been
traded for two young ball players
with a joint market valuation less
than $4,000. This constitutes an al
truiStic procedure not at all typical
OF men who barter in baseball flesh
for profit.
It seems to me the situation war;
rants some sort of quiz or probe, or
even a solemn investigation either
by John Heydler, who heads the
E,'2tional League or Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands, bushy haired commits
9ioner Of the sport.

The circumstances Of the
Hornsby transfer remain undi-
geStible even in the face of ex-
PLANTATION No. l by Charles A.
Stoneham, owner Of the Giants,
and explanation No. 2, which was
Issued Wednesday, and which,
like the first, explained practi-
cally nothing, if not less.
IF Mr.. Gus H. Fan is beginning
l. to suspect that something more
than friendly relations exist between
the New York Club and the Boston
Club it would seem that his
suspicious have some reasonable
ground for existence.
I think this is what is known to
the trade as syndicate baseball
and consists Of naive arrangement
by which two clubs rub each others
backs and count each others gate
receipts. 1t is generally regarded as
a very vicious practice and is sup
posedly frowned upon by the spirit
4. ually minded people in the business.
y in fairness to the New York and
Boston clubs, if for no other rea-
son, Messrs. Heydler and Lands
should look into this little matter
and tell the customers, as well as
the vitality interested Hornsby, what
II anything it is all about.
1t would be futile to deny that
HOrnsby is leaving the Giants I'M
der cloud. Regardless of ex-
PLANTATION No. / and eXpIana-
ton No. 2, and explanations No.
3, A, s and 6 that inevitably must
follow, the feeling persists that
the young mans active interest III
the mutuel odds at various race
tracks had plenty to do with his
release.
EEW people will believe that John
II j. McGraw, as intimated in ex-
PLANTATION No. 2, has grown so jeal-
Gus of his position as leader OF the
Giants as to authorize the dismls-
sal of his greatest star on the thin,
shadowy excuse that he was after
the older mans job.
Nor are the stories that HornSby
was a disturbing factor, as further
intimated in explanation No. 2, to
be taken with more than the custo-
mary grain Of hop, especially when
it is recalled that such stories when
first given publicity last year were
laughed off by McGraw himself as
something riotously funny.
q y
Your crusading correspondent does
not become seriously serious very
often, but he does feel that MesSrs
Heydler and Lands can do baseball
valuable turn by turning the spot
light of scrutiny on the Hornsby
case in all its many and varied
phases.

China stands at the head of the

voices of our speakers, a successful
meeting was held on the Skid Road
under the auspices of the National
Minors Relief. The speakers were
George Ohanrahan of the Workers
(Communist) Party and George
Richie of the international Labor
Defense. Both told of the wonderful
fight put up by the miners back east
for against the coal barons and Lewis
Cappelini machine, which is fighting
in the interests of the capitalist class,
After the talk was over, George
Ohanrahan took the platform again
and asked for collection for the
miners. He himself started it off
with dollar, all the money he had
with him, which is not surprising
since he is a good Communist. The
collectors then went around with col
lection boxes using the slogan Help
smash the Lewis-Cappelini machine"
We got a generous response from
the workers. In all about 1920 was
taken up and about $40 worth of re-
lief bulletins were sold, which is ex-
tremely good in view of the thousands
of men out of work here in Seattle.
And right now I want to announce
to both the friends and enemies of
the labor movement that the work
ers of the northwest are going to
stand solidly behind the miners from
now on in their struggle for better
conditions and the right to organize.
