National League Baseball Notes From Brooklyn and Akron
Scattered league items mention Brooklyn and Detroit with remarks on games, schedule quirks, and travel notes. References to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Chicago appear in terse snippets describing matchups and standings in a historically dated context.
Immunity Grant Could Shield Governor From Prosecution
The court warned that granting immunity now would effectively block prosecution for all time. The three year statute of limitations overlaps with the governor's three and a half year term, risking expiration of charges. The clerk must issue capias and the sheriff serve it, but a voluntary submission for a reasonable period might be allowed.
