FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 18. — Jimmy O'Connell never will be tried on a criminal charge of having attempted to bribe a professional baseball play- er, an offense that carries with it a penalty of imprisonment under New York laws, It is doubtful if the authorities have enough evidence against the former New York outfielder to get an indictment from a grand jury. It 1s also doubtful that baseball offi- clals want to prosecute him. He 1s generally regarded now as the goat and further prosecution would lcok ike persecution. ‘Ucgnnell was a popular player and even if he should,be placed on trial it 1s very uncertain that a jury could be found that would convict him. There were much stronger cases against the White Sox play in 1919 and there were no convic- tions then. Repudiation of confes- sions and disappearance of docu- mentary evidence blocked the prose- cution and the supreme penalty of baseball was their only punishment. From what developed after Com- misfioner Landis made public the testimony taken in his examination of the piayer mentioned by O'Connell and from what resulted during the subsequent investigation by the dis rict attorney's office here, there is no copy of O'Connell's testimony The details were only brought out indirectly by the questions asked of the other players. The district attorney's office, un- willing to prosecute O'Connell on what was declared to ve a flimsy case, passed the buck right back to See Tomorrow’s Paper for Full Details and Prices Landis with the intimation that O'Connell would be prosecuted if Landis wanted him sent before the bench. For several reasons the commis- sioner is almost certain to advise against further prosecution because he said, when he turned over all the evidence to the district attorney that the district attorney said when he handed back the case to Landis—it is a very weak case, Official baseball would not like it very well if O'Connell should be ac- quitted of the charge because the game would be placed in the position of holding a blacklist against a pop- ular youngster who had beeh de- clared innocent legally and offi cfally, As far as uncovering the master minds behind the plot or the higher- ups in the case, the criminal inves: tigation falled just os the investiga tion of the commissioner proved un+ ruccessful. The only hope of bringing out new det or clues that would lead into pay channels was that the players involved might tell a different story unde roath., It seems, however, that all of the players told the same story they had related to Landis‘and that Cozy Dolan couldn't remember any of the things that his memory failed on when he was talking to the commis- sion, ,4 WY wy YW Why | Assuming that official baseball was more interested in getting to the bottom of what was génerally considered to be a very suspicious case and that baseball didn’t want to hang the -halo of a martyr on O'Connell by sending him to Sing Sing, {t seems that a mistake was made in not getting the testimony of O'Connell by granting him immun- ity. O'Connell's story was the key to the whole investigation, When he refused to be examined without im- munity, he caused the collapse of the entire investigation. Certainly the officials did not want to railroad O'Connell, although some mighthave favored making an ex- ample of him, but when the district attorney's office found that there was such a poor case against him, {t would seem to have been the proper course of action to grant him immunity and Hsten to his story in the hope that something would come out of it. No one could blame O'Connell for not jumping at the opportunity to get a trial in New ork that would give him a vacation up the river. Landis sald when he esybmitted to a criminal investigation of the case that O'Connell was the only one who could be convicted and that as long s Dolan couldn't be forced to talk no case could be proved against him, O'Connell would have been a sucker to place himself within the Juriadictioin of the New York courts. Baseball probably will feel reliev- ed that enough has been done to convince the customers that noth- ing more could be done, Until the customers find an answer to the question—“What more can we do” ——the club owners of the major leagues will have the last word in the argument. Despite the faflure of two invest!- gations to bring out the motives that are believed to have been behind the attempted bribe, the feeling exists that all the facts have not been made known.

Casper beat Douglas hand- ily earlier in the season but showed poor form last night. The Frosh, outweighted 20 pounds to a man, made a good showing and forced the Douglas scrubs all the way. ee ee QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro- fessional sport— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or player— Write to John B.

Question—The first batter up on our side hit a real high .fly —ball which went almost directly over home base. .Our catcher, while try- ing to get under it, lost the ball and it lit about two feet in front of home plate and bounded back over the base and our catcher picked it up about two feet back of home and threw the ball to first. The umpire called the batter out. Argument arose as to whether it was a fair or foul ball. Which was it? Answer.—It was a foul ball be- cause it rolled out of the base line between home plate and the bases and was then fielded by the catcher.

By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Wisconsin and California crews are considering invitations from the University of Washington to row a regatta on Lake Washington at Seattle next July. If Washington thought there was any possibility of acceptance she would invite eastern crews, but in the main, the idea is to consolidate the Western Intercollegiate Rowing association, which was organized in rather a tentative way last year. Within the next ten years Wash- ington rowing authorities are cer- tain the rowing association will in- clude Ohio, Minnesota and Wiscon- sin in addition to the present mem- bers, Washington, California and Wisconsin. But with its small mem- bership, the association now con- templates the unification of the ef- forts of the western crews at Pough- keepsie and a possible change of regattas between the middie west and the Pacific coast. not likely CHICAGO, Feb., 18. — Wayne (“Big”) Munn, world's heavyweight wrestling champion will meet Mike Romano in a finish match here to- night.
