Lzt,?. TUT OFVERDICT in IHSOHM (Continued From Page One) nocent of wrong-doing in the 1919 world's series as you are, and his banishment from organized base ball was unjust, unfair and unwar ranted, and the decision of the trial jury holding him for prejury is not supported by the facts in the case. We are relying, of course upon the verdict of thejnembers of the itfty who have decided the case in Jackson’s favor. Comiskey ad mitted on the witness stand that he had deliberately falsified in four different respects as to his .testi mony. Ke was not arrested. He contended that he did not know the 1919 worlds series Was fixed until the 2slh of September, 1920, which was an absolute falsehood, because the undisputed facts in the case showed that he knew about the' disloyalty of the members of his baseball club two days after the world's series was played, when Hugh Fullerton published an ar ticle in the Chicago papers to the effect* that seven mmebers of the Chicago White Sox baseball club vould be missing in the year 1920. He also testified that he paid $15,000 for detective services ren dered in his behalf in attempting o discover the dishonest acts of ball players, on his ball club. The detectives appeared in court and testified that they only received $3 800 from Comiskey. Comiskey also testified that he never heard of the $1,500 bonus he awarded to the ball players in 1917 until the Jackson case was commenced in 1922, and when I examined him before a court commissioner in Chicago under oath he testified that he knew about it in 1918. He al so testified that he never heard the name of Bill Burns or Billy Marbag until September 28, 1920, and when I examined him in Chi cago he testified that he heard the names of these two men mention ed in th e middle of the sumrny of 1919, and yet never made any ef fort to find out what they knew about the 1919 world's series scan dal. Os course, this was Mr. Com iskey. The decisio nby this jury who were called upon to pass upon the ultimate issuable facts in this case show conclusively thqt Confiskey was just as much a conspirator as Gandil, Williams and Cicotte, and that he should have bean indicted by the- County grand jury, but be cause of the fact that his friend, 4ud,ge McDonald, called the grand jury and his friend Alfred Austrin was the man that consulted the witnesses before the grand jury and his friend, Mr. Brighan, was the foreman of the grand jury, he was not. indicted, but Joe Jack son, was and was later exonerated by a jury in Cook county. This, in n»y opinion, Is the great est victory that a ball plqyer in America has ever accomplished. Jackson has been arrested for per jury, as was Happy Felsch, who was another of his witnesses, and not withstanding the conduct of the court in these respects, the jury nevertheless answered every ques tion in favor of Joe Jackson and against the “Grand Old Roman” who has been grossly mis-named by a few paid lawyers and a few newspaper men. ' We appeal to you to let the pub lic know what has been .going on in organized baseball in America and the unfair advantages that have been taken nets of bail players. MRS.

The aid of Republican insurgents was sought today by Republican organization leaders of the House in an effort to ward off a defeat in the fight with Democrats over income tax rates. An attempt also will be made to have ’President .Coolidge use his in fluence to line up the Republicans who are out of sympathy with th-: organization’s stand for a com promise on a surtax maximum ot 35 per cent. Only 20 members were on the floor when the discus sion began. y The Democrats consumed the first hour with attacks on the Mel lon njan and arguments for the Garner plan. The treasury scheme was declared unfair to the smaller income tax payers and to favox the rich. ? Oliver, of New York. Lank ford„',of Georgia, and Quin of Mis •i sissi)fj i. led the attack. OLDFIELD STRONG FOR BALLOON CORD TIRES . Barney Oldfield, former race . track hero and holder of several j cross-country records, recently had a rather thrilling trip from Kansas City to Los Angeles, and a letter' iron) the ‘Old Master” himself to Harvey S. Firestone, President of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Com pany. tells of the wonderful per-1 formance of Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords on the journey through mud and desert sand." Barney left Kansas City on the third of December, under adverse weather and road conditions, in a ear equipped with Firestone Balloon Tires. The following interesting paragraphs are taken from Barney’s letter to Mr. Firestone: ‘‘The first, day out I made ap proximately 300 miles in the mud. The second day 1 again battled the mud for a distance of about 300 miles. The third day I made only 200 miles in the mud. The fourth day I encountered mountains and desert roads. , “AU of this distance was nego-; Hated without chains, and 1 passed many cars, gogiif in the same direc tion, which had chains and were having considerable trouble. “After leaving El Paso I had fairly good roads to Phoenix, but 1 after leaving Phoenix 1 encounter ed rough and sandy desert road-. I would pull out of the ruts and go around cars in soft sand. This I was never able to do before with the ordinary high pressure tires. “Qu my arrival in Los Angeli my odometer showed a total of 2129 miles, and my tires did not look as though they had gone over 250 miles. In fact they showed n > wear whatever. Furthermore, I found that my car was in perfect condition’, the Ballon Tires haviifg absorbed most all of' the vibia tion.” Announcements FOR COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT 1 hereby announce my cand ; dacy for County, School Superintendent.
