JONES FACES
CLEVELAND
TODAY
By GARRETT WATERS

When base hits rattle off of the
bat of Heine Manush like thev
ratified during yesterdays game
against the Cleveland Indians,
which the Griffmen won, II TO
7. it's a pretty good sign that old
Joe Slump has left one player.
to say the least.
Heine socked the ball once
more yesterday to herald some
sort return of his former self.
In five trips to the plate he col
lected a double, triple and single
to lead his teammates at bat.
Heine gave first indications of
his old prowess Sunday when he
clouted out three bingles, two
singles and double. in four trips
to the pan. His hitting yesterday
completed two red-letter days.
Meet Tribe Again
Heine, incidentally will no
doubt be in there hitting them
far. wide and handsome again to-
day as the Griffmen entertain
the Indians in the second game
of the current series.
Sad Sam Jones has been
named as the Griff starter. while
Clint Brown will hurl for the
Indians.
Jones made his first appear
ance on the mound in three
weeks when he worked against
the St. Louis Browns last week.
and, although he did not win.
he turned in an effort which
pOrmised a return of his old
pitching fettle-which is excel
lent when excellent.
Heine Manush isn't the only
one smiling today in regards to
the Griffmen's victory of yester-
day. Carl Fischer is quite salts
fled as he received credit for his
tenth triumph of the season.
Carl. it will be remembered,
has been after his tenth win ever
since June 21. After four start
ing trials he was rewarded yester-
day, even though it came in
role as a relief man.
GriffS Total Is Hits
Gen. Alvin Crowder began on
the mound for the Griffmen. He
lasted four and one-third innings.
When he went out the score was
tied. A. thereby leaving it up
to Fischer to either lose or win.
AS the final score brings out.
Carl won.
The Griffmen collected Is hits
all told. The Indians used three
pitchers. namely, Hudlin. Jsblo.
nowski and Lawson, all of whom
were ineffective.
Manager JOhnson'S men scored
in every inning with the excep-
tions of the first and fourth.
while the Indians were only able
to penetrate the home platter
in the fourth, fifth, eighth and
ninth.
Frisco Joe Cronin, Joe Kuhel
and Roy Spencer co-starred with
ManuSh in the hitting. The
first named Socked out two do,i-
bles in three times at bat. Kuhel
hit two doubles and a single in
five appearances. while Spencer
collected three singles in four
trips to the plate.
Every one Of the Griffnen, in
fact. with the exceptions OF West
and Fischer, gathered hits off OF
the Cleveland hurlers. 1t was all
very encouraging. The thing for
the Griffs to do now is to keep
up the good work, for they'll! need

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Sen-
ator Arthur Robinson of Indiana,
ranking Republican member of the
senate territories committee, will
leave here Friday for thirty-ive

ed to inquire into the proposals for
Philippine independence, now pend
ing before the territories committee.
81 want to study the economic
situation there" Robinson said, ito
see if the islands have reached the
point of economic independence. I
want to find out whether they can
resist immigration in case we pull
out.
They have by far the highest
standard of living in Asia.
"I want to find out if independ-
ence would not sink them to lower
standard.
Il also want to see what possible
injuSticeS might be wrought upon
our own people in the islands, if
they were cut loose"
Robinson said he would sail from
Norfolk, Va, stopping at Guam and
Hawaii and perhaps going on to
China and Japan after visiting the
Philippines.

Imported Liquor
Seized; Two Dogs, Cat
Only Guardians.

In possession Of an assortment of
expensive imported liquor, deputy
sheriffs today were seeking tenants
of mansion from which the con-
traband was taken Wednesday night
at Forest boulevard and High drive,
north of Broad Ripple.
Although lights burned in the liv-
ing room Of the big home, circum-
stances within led raiding officers
to believe the occupants had been
absent some time.
Locked in bathroom were two
thoroughbred dogs, while tied in
the kitchen was a prize-Winner cat.
All were almost starved.
In the basement the raiding squad
found the booze cache, and their
find included 10 quarts and 178
pints of Canadian and Scotch
WHISTLES, brandy, cognac and wines;
667 bottles of imported beer and
ale, and five gallons of alcohol, rep
resenting value of about $4,000 on
the retail market here.
The home was leased to Claude
and Nellie Bittrolff, records show.
Letters in the house were addressed
to Bittrolff at several local adj
dresses, indicating he changed
his living place frequently.

will right the wrong of crime of

he merely was chasing dream OF

1T is no crime in the state of In

Wife Weeps in Court
Through arguments of the at
torneyS, Mrs. Leah Schroeder, sit
ting beside her husband, wept
silently. When the state asked the
death penalty, she stared stoically
at the floor. Schroeders mother
and father, Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Schroeder of Clarion, Ia, wept
silently. Four sisters and a brother
of the Mobile man heard the plea.
Miss Gertrude KittrelI, Mobile
sweetheart of the accused man, was
drawn into the fray when Holmes
bounced upon her absence as a
states witness.
Where is she? Why didn't she
come here to tell you about the
illicit love the state charges to
Schroeder. Schroeder may have
transgressed, but all his transgres-
sions have been forgiven Holmes
said.

for political reasons, to appear on
the stand.

"They had to obey the dictates
Of authorities who gave them pro-

These witnesses testified that
Schroeder acted suspiciously from
the time he registered May "a, until
he left, with his bill unpaid. At
one time, they testified, Schroeder
had an unidentified woman in his
room.
This was not a hotel, it was an

money from Schroeder for use of
the room, Holmes charged.
