as Carl Mays, tho Now York pitcher
who delivered tno Pail in yesieroay s

death.
Mays Kxpmtsc Kniotlnn.
Today ho made a statement to As
Infant District Attorney .Tohn J.
Joyce. Tho pitcher's eyes filled with
tears and ho was barely able to tell
his story. Ho said:
"It was a straight, fast ball and
not a curred one. When Chapman
camo to bat I got the signal for n
FtralgHt fast ball, which I delivered.
It was a little ton eloso nnd I saw
Chapman duck his head to get out
of tho path of tho nan. it was me
mniH reorrKtt.lblo incident of my
career nnd I would give anything If
I could undo wnat lias nappenen.
Aftnr bearing May's story, Mr,
.Toyco said he thought Chapman's
death was purely accidental.
Snenkcr Kxoncrntea Mays.
Manager Tris Speaker of tho
Cleveland club said today hi could
sen no reason for tho action of Bos
ton ond Detroit players In declaring
their Intention of remains to piay
when Moves nltched.
"I- do not hold Mays responsible
In any way." he added, "I have
been active In discouraging my play
ers from holding Mays responsible
nnd In respect to Chapman's memory
m well ns for tho good of baseball,
T hono all talk of this kind will stop
I can realize that Mays feels this
thlrnr on deeply as any man couio,
nnd I do not want to add anything to
his burden. I do not know wnat
nromntod tho action of the noJton
nnd Detrnlt players. For my part
I think It Is deplorable."
Most of tho players here discount
reports from Boston and other
nlaces that there Is a serious opposl
tlon to permitting Mays to play In
subsequent games.

and the stomach bloated. The
normal babit of children is to bo
happy and when you notice them
cross and fretful you will usually
find constipation is responsible.
Perhaps they have missed that
daily function so necesary to
comfort and health. Look at the
tongue and see if the breath is
bad. Watch for belching. Thtio
are the tell-tale symptoms of con
stipation. Tonight give a littlo
of Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin,
which you can buy at any drug
store, and it will act in the morn
ing and the troublesome symp
toms promptly disappear.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with jicpsin. Unlike the
harsher physics it acts gently and
without griping so that while
grownups can use it freely it can
also be given to a tiny baby with
perfect safety. Thousands of
American families irould not think
of being without a bottle in the
house for the emergency arises
almost daily whru it 11 needed.
