Fans Demand Action in Scandal : G.W. and Delaware to Train With Maryland Gridders: IMPATIENT OVER DELAY IN TRIAL OF WHITE SOX Public Welcomes Grand Jury Investigation Into Reports That Prosecution of Indicted Chicago Players Is to Be Dropped. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. B /Y ASE BALL fans everywhere will welcome the action ot 5lat_e s .'.\t- tornéy Crowe in Chicago of conducting a grand jury investigation into reports that the indictments voted many weeks ago against Chicago White Sox players and others for compli in the 1919 vfi}'l;l series scandal were to be pigeonholed and no etfort made to estal |;1 their guilt. Recent reports to the effect that the indictments against tx‘e accused men are ifaulty and that they never would be brought to trial, followed by insinuations that some of the magnates are anxious for the whole affair to be dropped for fear they or their valuable playing prop- erty may be involved, while not given any too much credence by :Up& porters of the game, have served to put them in the mood to deman action—to be given some concrete evidence that those who govern the gameymake good their promise for a thorough renovation. ate's attorney is The action of hailed by the something f establishing the “To Get Bonus If His Team FAILS to Win Pennant public as a Iy is to be d have dragged the goud name ¢ BALTIMORE, pruary Z— , sport in the mire : er Harry agement is given by Frank to sign hix contract with Feiteration of previous s the Orioles present situation the case will be brog licved to be unique in base 48 it can be preparce. i ball.

Bono for- merly was with the Washington Ameri- cans, but turned back to Shreveport. t. Yt will be a bad thing for base ball if the trial is not started within a short time. In about a month the players and club officials whose testi- mony will be needed will be hiking south for spring training. nn_ll their unavailability as witnesses will seri- ously retard prosecution and cause the trial to drag to an extent which may prove fatal to its successful cul- ination. e thuddle which disgusted the Mans with professional base ball will not be forgotten by them, and if the prosecution of those responsible for the scandal proves a fiasco all the widely advertised steps taken to re- habilitate the game will count for nothing.

NTRAMURAL versus intercollegiate athletics is an old argument, but in the case of women’s colleges there seems to be little doubt that the intramural idea is the correct theory. At any rate it has the un- answerable virtue that it works. The emphasis is on the group rather than on the performance of the exceptional individual, and the result— as at Wellesley, for instance—is a keen desire on the part of every girl to get into the game.

Lewis Abandons Head Lock, RICE EASY FOR BRENNAN But May Use lt on P leStina"English Fighter Is Stopped in Sec- EW YORK, February 2—Ed (Strangler) Lewis, heavyweight cham- pion wrestler, has consented to discard the headlock, the punishing hold which gained him the aside Earl Caddock’s attack upon the championship, along with those of [here last nigh other grapplers of less prominence. announced that Lewis and his manager, Billy Sandow, had become recon- ciled to the advisability of eliminating this hold and were in accord with the ruling of Curley, who recently announced that he would promote no more bouts in which the headlock was permitted. Both Lewis and Sandow have as- sured Curley that they are prepared to discontinue the sold because of the public objection to its use. “Jack Curley has done so much for the game that we will be the last ones to handicap him with any selfish mo- tive,” said Sandow. “If Jack feels that the game will suffer through the headlock we can get along with- out it His fairness to us is unques- tionable, and we will abide by his ruling.” Lewis demonstrated in Boston Mon- day night that he can win matches without employing his dangerous head hold. In a mat bout against Renato Gardini the burly Kentuck- jan scored a fall in one hour and thirty-eight minutes with a toe hold. In this match the headlock was bar- Ted. Several weeks ago Lewis en- gaged Gardini on the mat in a match, in which there was no prohibition on the headlock, and it took the cham- pion two hours and twenty minutes to vanquish his rival. Tex Rickard yesterday announced that he has signed Marin Plestina to a contract for a_ wrestling bout at Madison Square Garder against any heav_-weight grappler In the world. Promo‘er Rickard has wired Billy Sandow asking the latter's termsa for a bout between Plestina and Lewis, in which all holds will be permitted, in- cluding the headlock. The selection of a date for the match is left to Lewis’ manager. —_— SEEKS BOTH BIG BOUTS. Fitzsimmons Would Stage Them in Benton Harbor Arena. BENTON HAREOR, Mich., February 2—Floyd E.

Game Is Well Handled. As a matter of fact, Schlosser and Hughes did_a good job in_ handling the George Washington-C. U. tiit. and both should have been commended for calling fouls instead of letting them slip by. Had they done the latter the game probably would have got away from them and a helter-skelter con- test resulted. And as long as officials are being written about, it might be well to go a little further and say that of- ficials are not getting as much con- sideration as they should receive. ‘This holds good for the high school games as well as for some of the collegiate meetings. To listen to some possession of the ball the greater part of the second half and when the Hachetite defense would close, the sphere would be burled through. That the Hatchetites outpointed the Brooklanders in the second half was due more to loose guarding on the | part of the latter at the start of the period than to George Washingten' good play.
