In the midst of this reconstruction pro,eT" gram. may be persuaded to turn back the pages a little to tell you that T.v Cohb was probably the greatest nil around player he ever knew, with Tris Speaker a rival ; that Nap Lajoie, the famous Frenchman of the old Cleveland club, was the greatest natural bat- ter; and that Babe Ruth., who came to the big show under Carri- gnn, was as great a pitcher before the war as he is an star now. Cobh probably ranks as the best of them all in general abil'ty. but Speaker was not far behind. Carrigan asserts in sizing up the two famous outfielders now with the Athletics, both of whom, incidental!,v, were In their prime in Corrigan's days as manager-backstoof the old Red Sox hull team. Bill Carrigan. 'Ty had a little edge at bat. perhaps, but not much. He was also a better baserunner, but Spoke was greater on defense. I dont think there hiis been any outfielder in the game who outshone Tris in this respect, although he had a pair of great teammates in Hooper and Lewis on our old team. Ty was always a bigger gate attraction than Tris. He was more of a firebrand on the field. Spoke was the sort who went about his business quietly. , I never saw Ed Delehanty and I cant pass any opinion on Rogers Hornsby, Carrigan went on. But 1 would rank I.ajoie as the greatest righthander. Ruth, of course, is the greatest long distance hitter, without an argument, but Lajoie also could hit em far as well as often. Carrigan cant be drawn into the- debate that Connie Mack, Joiin McGraw and Wilbert Robinson engaged in last season as to whether the present-daYankees, with their slugging power, eclipse the groat teams of other days, such as the Baltimore Orioles, the Chicago Cubs, the old Athletics or Red Sox. How can you stop a team with that hitting? Bill laconically "asks. The Yankees don't need great pitching. BILL Boy , Sentenced for Murder, Is Saved by Sictzr and Sweetheart. Brooklyn. The shadow of the death chair, the wooden and wire and iron contraption which is In the clean, white room at Sing Sing, hung for 13 months over Robert Weiner. But Its gone now; at least, he is out of its immediate shadow, and believes that his troubles are over. There are not many men In New York state who have spent long lugging months, waiting and watching for that last trip through what once was the little green door. It isnt green now, of course; Its browned steel and its big and heavy. But the Idea is there. For those men who have lived eternities each day and week there is no way out, once they have passed through the door. Twelve persons, eleven men and one marched slowly, shuffling woman, along through that door while Bob Weiner watched them. And now he shudders, and his smile fades when he thinks of them. He saw Ruth Snyder sjouch through it. He saw Judd Gray go, and several others. Two Women Aided Him. They sent him to the death house, under penalty of death, for his alleged part in the Tombs prison break and killing of 1926. He denied any part. But a jury found him guilty.

But they won when the Court of Appeals ruled that Weiner be given a new trial, and the district attorney in Manhattan admitted he couldnt produce the evidence which would again convict the Brooklyn boy. Now Weiner is home, just trying to get acclimated. He Isnt going out. He is just sitting around home, trying to realize that when night comes he will not have to sit In the semidarkness and count the hours. He hasnt yet, he says, understood fully that he will not have to play checkers through the bars, or hear the shouts and laughter of condemned men who are trying to appear carefree, but who are worrying and counting. A Terrible Feeling. Its a terrible feeling, he says, "this knowledge that some night is coming and that you are going out of your cell and that you are not coming back. I played checkers with these men. We had to play our own board, shouting out the moves, because death house confinement is solitary confinement. And we would play, or talk, never seeing the men we were playing or talking with. Then- would come the night when we would hear the shuffling of feet I think that was the worst. We would hear the men shuffle down the cor- ridor. 1 would see a dim form, then two or three others pass the cell. The men would cry out their farewells,' The others in the cells would call out, too. But the man we had known If only by voice, had gone." Weiner feels, he says, as if lie had been dead and had come back to life again. Mother Found Guilty; Attacks School Teacher Lafayette, Ga. An irate mother who whipped a school teacher is under a 12 months suspended sentence on the chain gang. Mrs. J. W. Groce pleaded guilty to an assault charge for an attack on Miss Bertha Harp, Chickamauga school mistress, last year. The whipping occurred on the street after Miss Harp had punished the Groce boy for a schoolroom Infraction. A long switch was used by Mrs. Groce. When this was broken she used a club, according to the victim. The teacher of a rural school one day received the following note, which fight easily pass for an example of conciseness in writing: Please excuse Willie from school today. He caught a skunk.
