"If he rules against us, we
will abide by his decision. Per-
sonalIy, 1 shall sever all con-
nectionS with the game l love.
That Is a sweeping threat and
one that tugs at my heart. But
I mean it, every word"
LISTENS CAREFULLY
Giles listened carefully to Evers
passionate outburst, delivered to
reporters who damned his hotel
suite. Pitts sat twisting and un
twisting his hands.
The committee held the desire
to employ Pitts seemed to be
prompted more by the determine
ton of the employer to capitalize
on his prison record than because
of his playing ability.
This aroused EverS to a fighting
pitch. He cried:
81 resent that insinuati0n.
We did not inspire any publicity
in this case. 1t all came from
the office of the national preSi-
dent. In fact, we asked the
sports writer's here to hold up
the story. They did and they
were scOOped.
1.-THE whole future of baseball
is at the turning point today.
Every kid in this country Is
awaiting the decision. Every
man in an institution is await
ing to learn whether he is to
have a chance when he comes
out or whether, like Pitts, he is
to have three strikes on him.
| FROM REFORM SCHOOL
I zone Of the greatest char
acters in the history Of baseball
came out of a reform school,
but no one refused the tremen-
dOus gates which he attracted"
At that point Pitts quickly
wiped his eyes. Evers continued
"I'm not fighting for myself.
I'm not fighting for Pitts. 1 am
fighting for a precedent and
principle in baseball. Rejection
of this youth will hurt baseball
which is trying to do something
to this boy which no other Or
ganizatiOn in the world would
attempt.
brand HIM FOR LIFE"
CAL of us have made mis-
takes, but we weren't caught.
This man made one slip, for
which he is sorry, and you would
brand him for life. Shame on
such an attitude. Shame on a
ruling which would deprive a
man of his living.
81 shall fight to my last
breath to prevent this thing
from tearing down the things in
baseball which 1 helped build"
When he finished, only a mid
dle-aged man with silvery hair
stood in the room. But the same
outthrust jaw was there, as he
concluded:
"The fight has only begun.
Baseball must have rules, but
they must be fair rules. If this
decision stands, my long aSsO-
citation with organized baseball
ends"
PITTS BREAKS DOWN
Pitts broke down completely as
he was leaving the room. His
chest heaved and tears streamed
from his eyes. Evers, near a
breakdown himself, placed his
arms about the 24-year,old South
erner and led him from the room
Giles indicated later that if
Pitts is granted a pardon by the
governor, he will ask the other
two members of the executive
committee to reconsider their
decision.
It was decided to make a
triple appeal to Judge Lands
One will come from Pitts, one
from the Albany club and the
third jointly from Pitts and the
club. Lands has the right tc
refuse any kind of a ruling, leav

Albert R. MacKusick, to whom it
was entrusted.
His words we're:
please tell Norma that 1
loved her and that I hope she
will think of me once in a while;

Attorney MacKusick had visited
Murton in the death house on the
night of the execution. He went
there at the request of Joseph
Millen, father of the two boys
who died with Abe Faber, to help
the brothers prepare their wills.

Dear Sir
am writing you this letter to protest
against the passing of bill (H.R. 1929 in
troduced by Representative Rayburn and
referred to Public Utility Holding Com.
pany Bill.
We are deeply concerned in the above
mentioned bill as we are among the thou.
sands of small shareholders which this
bill will harm. For instance, We are past
81 years of age and when times were
good we invested our small savings into
utility stocks, believing that we could sup.
port ourselves when we were old and not
have to call on charity.
We will appreciate any effort on your
part to prevent the passing of this bill or
any other bill that will hurt the Utility,
Companies.
Thanking you very kindly.

|ROSICRUCIANS ITO

Members to Visit Lost Con.
tinent Next January;
AmOrc Cooperating

The stupendous and grotesque
figures on Easter Island, isolated
in the South Pacific $500 miles
west Of Chile, are to become OBJ
jects Of investigation by q Rosi-
crucian expedition. Rosicrucians
contend that Easter Island is a
vestige Of the once great continent
OF Lemuria, thought for centuries
to be a mythical land. The huge
sculptures and monoliths inscribed
with picturegraphs, it is related,
bear a remarkable resemblance in
design and symbology to the ones
found in ruins of Yucatan In Gen.
trail America.
There is sufficient reason to be-
lieve that at prehistoric period
the survivors of the great cata-
clysm reached the shores of what
is now Mexico and re-established
their civilization. The AMORC,
Rosicrucians plan, following their
Egyptian expedition which begins
in January 1896, to investigate the
mysteries of Easter Island. led by
faculty members of the Rose-Croix
university, an affiliated body To-
Gated at San Jose, Cal.
A few years ago, AMORC pub
lished a book "Lemuria, the Lost
Continent of the Pacific" which
contained the then known facts of
that so-called mythical land, and
aroused keen interest among sci
entific and archaeological students.
Walter j. Racicot, local repre-
sentative of AMORC, has been re-
quested to acquaint all other mem
bers Of the philosophical order in
this vicinity, during the course of
the year, with the particulars of
the venture SO that all who SO de-
sire may accompany the expedi-
ton. 1t is said that the Azores
Island may be included in the
itinerary of the Egyptian tour be-
cause recent geological surveys
point to the possibility that they
are extinct volcanic peaks of a
submerged continent, possibly of
the famed lost Atlantis.
