The American League IN 30 years has known
some interesting personalities. There was the
ungovernable Ty Cobb the hon-hearted Walter
johnson the great gate god, Babe Ruth. Yet
Carl Mays was as temperamental as Cobb, N
unique as johnson and as colorful as Ruth.
No other figure was quite like Mays. He
pitched a ball that killed an opponent. He
dictated to his owners and got of with It.
He almost disrupted the American League, and
did cause one of the hottest controversies
organized ball has had. He was responsible
for there being Judge Lands as the games

TRAGEDY crept into Mays life in August.
1920, at the Polo Grounds in New York.

was the pitcher. Ray Chapman, Indians star

Iris Speaker, the Gray Eagle and manager

funeral sermon said

the man who was the cause of this unfortunate
accident. Chapman would be the first to decry
any thought Of revenge If he could but speak"
Hostile words were spoken, though, and
thoughts of revenge were entertained. strike
of American League players almost followed the
demand that Mays be banned from base ball.
Newspapers carried editorial comment. One
editorial said:

major league players know that Mays many

candidacy.
What the crowd lacked in size it
made up in enthusiasm and it was
apparent those who braved the heat
to hear Senator Bettwy had done
SO because they were seriously in
terested in what he had to say.
He stood on the stage alone. ex-
planning that he would not be in
troduced as he needed no introduc-
ton to Nogales audience. He then
called attention to the fact that he
first came to Nogales as a soldier.
And at this point he displayed his
honorable discharge papers and ex-
planned he was doing this because
he said, "the secretary of the No.
gales chamber of commerce has
been spreading the report among
around the Legionnaires in conven-
ton here that I have never seen
service"
He then went into considerable
detail on one of his pet subjects,

Broaching another of his fav-
