SHERRY MAGEE
| DIES IN PHILA.

PHIL ABEL PHIA, March IA.
Sherwood N. Magee, National
League umpire and once the bat
ting champion OF the league, Is dead
at the age of A. He died of pneu-
monia last night.
Magee was a leading batsman
while with the Philadelphia, Boston
and Cincinnati teams. He won the
championship of 1910 with an aver
age of .331: was second in 1911 and
third in 1914. He was the leagues
leading home-run hitter in 1914
with ten circuit clouts.
After finishing his career as a
big Lacquer in 1919, the veteran out.
fielder played with Columbus, Min.
neapolis, Milwaukee and Baltimore.
In 1927 the picturesque Sherry,
who had been quite an umpire.
batter in his day, became an arbiter
in the New York-PennsyIvania
League. He was so efficient at
calling balls and strikes that he
was made a National League um.

At the age of "a. Judge looks
forward to a big season. For sew

most of this, he says. and given
back his old speed. His pep afoot
has been remarked by Manager
johnson and several other veterans.
Two Griff infielders have seriously
sore arms. Elmer Voter, third base
man, and Charley Gooch, versatile
infielder specializing at first base,
are panied by every throw.
Manager johnson goes on record
with statement that Ossie Bluege
will be a greater star in shortstop
than he was at third base. Catcher
Ed Kenna's. split and dislocated
thumb is recovering with unusual
rapidfty. He expects to resume
training next week.
Cliff Bolton, 2O-yeaI old catcher,
who batted better than 400 IN
minor league company last year,
hasn't recovered completely
from an illness that delayed his
reporting. The boy plainly was
weak, but his batting form was
impressive in his first drill with
the Griffs.
1t appears that Washington was
lucky in the draft, which Melted
Gooch and Campbell. The Yanks let
Campbell go to make room for a

What a Grand Jury Found Out

a special grand jury in Philadelphia has been In
vestigatng police corruption, gang murders, and
booteggng since last August. Hundreds of witnesses
have been examined and numerous persons have been
indicted and sent TO prison. The grand jury worked
hard in trying to preak up what it described "the
unholy alliance of police politicians and criminals
It's views on the subject therefore should be of in
terest to vets and drys alike. The jury said in its
final report:
"One of the principal elements responsible for the
condition with which not only this city, but many
large cities of the country, are faced is gang war
fare resulting from open and notorious violation CT
the liquor laws We do not to assert that gang
murders are caused only by the traffic in liquor We
do assert that the payment by great numbers Of peo-
pie to secure intoxicating liquor is responsible for the
creation of the supply.
MANY persons are willing to pay any price to
secure the commodity. Many man who would be
Mortified at an accusation of the commission OF
other crime, openly will admit his constant pur-
chases of liquor.
Those who purchase and pay for liquor pay also
for the gunner and bandits who protect the deliv-
cry to them. and provide means for the corruption
and bribery of those in authority The cost is blood
itself These people are striking at the very principles
of social and legal responsibility and the civilization
of which they part.
THE ultimate question to whether prohibition
shall remain must be determined by the citizens So
long, however, this law remains in effect, it is
incumbent upon those who enjoy the benefits Of life
in this community to respect the laws which protect
them and make possible their existence and civiza-
ton"
Enormous profit" of bootleggers was largely re-
sponsibe for the corruption and bribery shown in
the police department" the jury said.
I'VE feel as a result OF seven months OF service
that these conditions undermining the very
foundation of our social existence and that if they
remain unchecked will create abyss into which
our very civilization viii fall
These murders are a natural result of corrupt
alliances between the underworld, in particular that
part of the underworld which specazes in liquor and
the agencies of the law
