nor, secretary to
Baseball Commis
sioner Kenpsaiv M.
I.andis, and Cozy
Dolan, former
roach of tlie New

lias been barred
from baseball, were
the principals to
day In the, stale’s
investigation into
the attempted brib
ery of Meinle Sand,
shortstop of the Philadelphia National
league baseball club during a game
In this city last season.
Jimmy O'Connell, Giant outfielder
In that contest, confessed that he of
fered Stand $500 if he would not "hear
down'* and with Dolan went out of
the national Tganie, forever.
Today O'Connpll's attorney wired
to Assistant District Attorney Broth
ers that his client would not come
east to aiil him in the investigation
unless immunity was piymiiacd. Much
a course is impossible at this time
Mr. Brothers replied.
O'Connor is believed to have fur
^ nished the qpthorittes with every par
tirulnr of evidence in the hands of
the commissioner, including questions
and answers at the time the matter
became known, and telegrams and
letters which have passed between
the commissioner's office and various
players, whose names have been men
tinned.
Emit Yde of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
one of tlie leading pitchers of tlie
1921 season, today sent in a full de
nial tliat lie had stated that there had
been talk among players regarding
tlie "fixing" of tlie “higher-lips." It
was in tlie form of transcript of tlie
correspondence he bad With tlie com
missioner.
William A. (Bill) Cunningham, for
mer Giant outfielder, now with t!*e
Boston Braves,, denied saying in a
press interview, that he had been told
by Rosa Young of the Giants, named
with Frank Frisch and Feorge Kelly
in the O'Connell confession, that the
whole bribery business had been start
ed through “kidding" among the play'
eis. Cunningham railed the story a
“mass of lies," and insisted that he
had "not" been interviewed In the
O'Connell affair since last October.

PNEUMONIA CHIEF DANGER
Grippe Attacks Weaken Body’s Re

_\]| Colds Should Re Treated
Promptly.
Peep grippy colds have been un
usually prevalent here this winter
The situation Is fairly general
throughout th» states. In some sec

such as hiccoughs, nausea, diarrhea,
etc.
folds are too often neglected until
they have lowered the vitality stif
flciently to permit the lurking get ins,
which cause pneumonia, bronchltii
and Influenza to attack the body.
Don't Take Chance*.
The only safe plan Is to attack a
cold right at the beginning. A hot
bath, a laxative, s sweat and a vlRor
ons application of Vicks \apoRnb at
bedtime over throat and chest wil
oftdn break up a cold over night.
For hours after Vicks Is applied
the vapors of Camphor, Menthol
Eucalyptus, Thyme and Turpentine
released'as vapors by the body beat
are Inhaled directly into the Infected
air pnssages. At the same tint*
Nicks is a I, sorbed through the skin

or plaster.
It Is an obstinate cold Indeed that
can resist this direct, double action.
Vicks Vapor Steam.
If the air passages are hadl>
stopped up, try the "Teakettle an*

DePauw university and the commit
tee ruled that this constituted one
regular year of collegiate competi
tion.

“fraternity politics'' were found to

good salary. %

( niching the llall.
TIIK act of catching the hall la
likewise very Important. What
are the reasons for fumbling?
Rigidity of hands Is one. There should
be a distinct ' give'1 the instant the
hall touches the hands, just as In
catching a baseball, Drawing in the
hands absorbs some of the Impetus
of the ball and makes it easier to
hang onto.
Another common fault is taking
eyes off the hall as It comes near
so as to watch the tactics of the op
ponent. Keep your eyes on the hall—
this fundamental rule is as Important
in basket hall as In football or base
hall or in any other game played
with a ball.
Another cause of fumbling is lin
proper use of hands and fingers. The
hands should be placed “funnel
shape" with fingers outspread and
not too far apart. There should be
a slight give" the Instant the ball
touches the hands.
Don't pass the ball too hard. Don't
pass to a player standing HtIII. Why?
Because he Is the hardest man to
judge. The passer never knows what
his next move will he and the In
stant he passes the hall, the man may
start off in the very opposite direr
lion to that anticipated. In cases like
tills, the passer gets the hlurne,
though the player at fault is the re
ceiver,
Therefore. It Is better to pass to a
moving player. There Is less chance
for Interception If the hall is passed
to a player breaking toward the
i passer than in any other style of
passing.

Ames, Ih., Jan. 29.—Coach Hugo
Otopalik lias decided upon the men
whom he will send against the grap- j
piers from Kanaas university Friday
evening.
Captain Prunty is definitely out of
the lineup. He has nor been able to
get in condition for this meet. A
smallpox vaccination kept him out
of practice for a week and he was
just recovering when he received
burns and a cut leg in a motor bus
fire, in which he helped to gave an
Iowa State coed from serious burns.
These injuries have kept him off the
mat until this week and he has no?
been able to get hack in shape.
R. Nelson will wrestle in the 15#
pound class in place of Prunty. Otr^
pallk has definitely decided to send
Ralph Relghard into the heavyweight
division, although he only weighs in
at 172 pounds. Reighard Is clever,
however, and is better than any
heavyweight on Otopalik’s squad. Pil
lard will wrestle at 175 pounds.
