Landis May Take Charge of Coast League Squabble — 1 I Purchase of Seattle Club Is Cause of Row—Two Pres idents Rule Destinies of League. By WAYNE K. OTTO. Chicago, Nov. 15—The now fa mous Pacific Coast league con troversy between William II. Mc Carthy, deposed president, and the “big five'' promises to end up in the hands of High Commissioner Landis. That's the angle handed out by the smart insiders of the game around Chicago. Moreover, Jhere is every reason to believe the board of arbitration of the National Associa tion will "pass the uuck” when the time arrives. Inasmuch as the Me Carthy-Wllliams battle for the presi dency has even crowded its way into the major league limelight, the mem bers of the board prooably will take the case up as soon as they con vene. Knrely has baseball history known a case where two presidents at tempted to rule one league at the same time. This unprecedented sit uation lends added Importance to the affair. McCarthy saltl he will retain the league records and funds. The league board of directors scoffed and wired the bank through which the league dogs its business to refuse to honor any checks from McCarthy. In the 'meantime, Harry Williams of Los An geles has opened offices and started to work. While the merry tangle continues i^he thing is certain. It would seem a definite decision before the annual meetings is imperative. Whichever side is threatened with the largest financial loss probably will com promise. Landis gives the magnates action In an emergency. Moreover, Mc Carthy will probably take Issue if the caae goes to the commissioner. It ij no secret that he fails to ad mire Landis. It might be added the feeling is mutual. President John J. Heydler of the National league, has wired con gratulations to the newly elected president. This would cast a new light on the affair. Heretofore the major league mag nates and heads have maintained a discreet silence on matters outside their sphere. Heydler’s message might Ire interpreted that Williams .is favored over McCarthy outside the Coast league. McCarthy always has been antagonistic to major league methods and that may lie the rea son. However, Williams and Heydler long have been close friends. Inasmuch as the Seattle purchase caused al lthe row. Red Killefer and his southern California colleagues promise some sensational revelations if forced to that point. There are intimations that certain of the San Francieco club owners tampered wilh the club before it was taken over by the _ so-called Wrigley inter ests. rT" Act Scalpers at Work * a polls, Nov. 15—Definite In .on regarding oj eratjons » of ticket scalpers selling tickets to the Iowa-Mlnnesota football game next Saturday has been received by Judge McHardy, chief internal revenue agent In Minneapolis, who said that he is investigating several places in the down town district. McHardy said that scalj)er8 are selling $3 seats for as much an $10. It was intimated that several arrests might be made.

He spent 14 hours In the blind the first day and 10 the next without so much as a shot or Iho sight of a flock. Joe shoots a Remington trap gun and it's the pride of his heart. He likes to opeftta it. Finally a flock swung over Just as he was going to pull up stakes snd hike for home. He raised his gun pulled the triggers and then chanted an East Indian jass tune There were no shells in his gun. We dare you to ask him about It. When the duck season ends, many | Omaha hunters keep their hands in by going out into the woods and fields and killing crows. One hand of gun ners makes use of a certain sheep feeding shed and had used a stuffed owl ns a decoy. It w'orked like a charm. Then they added a stuffed eagle and instead of decoying crows it scared them about five miles away. Nothing loath, they chose' a sheep from a pile of dead ones which had died of pneumonia and dragged it away out into the uplands of the farm and left It to build a blind. The crows circled and cawed. When ail rc;uly, the crow killers turned to see If there were any crows on the ani mal and were flabbergasted to see the animal up and walking around look ing for a way home. The crow hunters use nothing but calls, now, decoys ^having sort ot palled upon them. • i . **' ’ , Fred Bradford docs a lot of his hunting Just cost of Clarks, Nib., where he and a few friends have a hunting lodge. He tells of a guest who waa taken out for a shoot and who was given the inside of a dou ble bunk as sleeping quarters. In the middle of the night Brad wasj> awakened by a piercing shriek, a couple of cuss words and a tremen dous thud, f "This fellow,” says Brad, "had a nightmare and dreamed a snake with a duck's head, a snipe's legs and a goose’s tail, was going to bite him, and he dodged just in time to bang a two-by-four at the head of the bed. He banged it with his eye and nose and did a good Job of It. The weird duck-snake snipe-goose must have died from the noise the sleeper made when he hit the side of the wall.''

High school tram on the Moline gridiron, either November 17 or 24. Neither of the dates can be accepted, as the Red and Black schedule lists a game with Omaha Central on November 17 and with Beatrice the following week Conch Browne has suggested that n game lie arranged for either Dei-em her 1 or 8. If Lincoln wins from Central Saturday, a post-season game may have to be played with an out state team to decide the state chant pionship. In case such a situation should arise, a battle with the Moline aggregation early In December would he out of the question.

The hoys fought the seml-windup to the John son Renault bout. Not being sure just what that semi business in seml windup meant. IliJl must decided It was a Batin word meaning no con test. Tate was no-contesting George for five ami six rounds while the crowd warmed up their buzzers. Filially, Hill got an extra heavy whisk from (lie broom and derided to lay carpets for fhe rest of the evening. lie was reclining on the luxurious canvas while tho referee paraded the magic numbers. 1(111 knew the win ning number was 10 and he didn't want the spell broken. Although It was on November 2, BiH reached ahead on the calendar and grabbed 10 seconds from Armistice day. If either one of those hoys is a mankiiler, they must have decided that November 2 was ladies' day. When tho referee's voice reached 10, Bill jumped up and xyent about his business. That tight ran second to the one fought lietween Itat Silil and The (ilutt. It was n revenge fight, be cause Slid hated waiters. The Glutt was a waiter and he was nominated to keep the grudge hot. The Glutt fought so well that night that he was forced to take 20 bows In each round, lie was a great strate gist and figured that every man was allowed nine second of mobilization oij the floor. Kadi round was three minutes. Each minute was 60 sec onds, making the 100 seconds. Divide Hint by nine and you have 20 turn hies. That's how he won. H» bobbed fur apples 20 times to the round while the referee called out more numbers than n quarterback. — The Glutt made one mistake. After lie i'limited Into his .bathrobe, the crowd kept on cheering. Ho The Glutt took another bow and was disqualified for exceeding his quota. Siki was awarded the RuiTtowii championship with the right to defend It In res taurants, telephone booths and street cars. Ilut Kikl took in too much terri mry and lost h!s title In the subway. That made The Olutt champion again And he would still be up there If he hadn't insisted on shadow boxing with wild taxicabs in the rush hour. He is training for Renault now. He isn't scared of the Canadian eien if Renault Is a member of the North west Royal Mounted police. That Northwest business won't help lu-n ault because The Glutt isn't going to j knock him in that direction. The Glutt also givs rtennult per mission to bring his hoss Into the ring. Even if The Glutt loses to a man on a hoss, he will still be the chain pi on on .foot. Jews Make Reply to Indictment of K. K. K. Wizard Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B’rith Answers Charge That Race Can't Re Assimilated. Tteply to the charge of W. If. Evans, imperial wizard of the ICu KIux lvlan, that the Jews never can he assimilated as Americans, has been put forth by the Anti-defamation league of B'nai B'rith, Jewish fra ternal organization. The reply alleges that Evans as saults the Jews with weapon* of the Jews' forging. It also alleges that Evans objects not *o much to the Jews’ refusal to be dipped Into the melting pot, as to Iheir refusal to he dipped into the baptismal font. The statement follows in full: ''Heading the Evans speech, a Jew might recall the i^ld fable about the tree and the hatchet. The point of the fable is that If the tree had not supplied the liandTe to the hitch et, the hatchet could not have felled the tree. We Jews have uncon sciously supplied macy a handle to the weapon* that have been lifted in hewing us to pieces. Our best gifts to the world have become part of the artillery trained against ua. The best known example of this in the Bible, for have not our ene mies ever tried to prove from the very puggs of the Jewish Bible how unworthy Jews are of divine grace ■and of human mercy? And the flg lire of the gentle Caliban teacher, Imne of our bone and spirit of our spirit, who lived, labored and died as a Jew; has he not been largely used ns a sharp sword against us, bis brethren? We came bearing gifis to the world, hut by some evil spell these gifts r,( ours, a blessing to mankind, have become a snare and a pitfall for ourselves. "Melting Pot." "The catchword which fur Evans 'sum* up the aspiration and destiny 'f America, and prompted by which lie directs his slanderous attack against American Israel, is of Jewish origin. Tilt- cafchvvord is ihe melt ing pot. Itut that catchword was launched by the brilliant Anglo-Jew Ish writer. Israel Zanrwllb who In i striking play of tho same name de fined his vision of America as a melt ing pot of nations. This melting pot phrase is of his coinage. “He .was the first to set the pot n brewing with his writer's ink, over the fire of his genius. Had he known that th* darker brew of hatred would at length be poured into his pot, and a less ger.f-rous fire kindled under it, would he have set the pot out to seethe with the noxious vapors i f r i ial and religious prejudice? And Evans, to whom Vhe adjective Jew ish sii-ms t-i express everything oh :>■'' nr.l.lc, would he have used the phrase 'Melting Pot’ to convey hi* highest thought about America hadJ| he known that this very expression 1m of Jewish origin? .lewis < onlrihiilinn "Evans must come to the Jew in older to get his Idea of American ism.. The Jew must supply Evans with h*s idea of Americanism, in or der that Evans might use It as a weapon against the Jew. To quote Evans: ‘It is a« inflexible as fate!' And yet, while Evans got. his fund* mental Idea of Americanism from a Jew, he maintains, nevertheless, that the Jew has nothing to contribute to America, that he cannot In any real manner become an American* Why. look and see what the Jew has contributed to Evans, and, througn him to the aerie confraternity if masked invis.hility! \ "Eet it at once he admitted that if the 'melting pot' represents the true idea of Americanism, then it is easy to employ this phrase against any race or religion that does not happen lo suit you. All you have to say is that it does not Iwlong to the pot; that It is undo milaMe; that It does not blend. And the accused race or religion may in turn have recourse (o the contradictory statement; that It :s assimilable; that It Is blendable; that It may. therefore take pot lurlc with the other rimes sitting around the bountiful board of America. •■Obviously these statements and counter statements, tossed to and fro without cessation, can lead no whither. Hut the truth Is that the 'Me lting Pot' figure of speech, If rid den too hard, will land us far from a true conception of Americanism; will inspire us with an anti-alienism, blind and unreasoning, that Is the vpry denial of American thought and idealism. Figures do not lie, they say. but figures at speech, seldom tell the truth. Hives Definition.
