Collyer, publisher of Collyer's Eye, a Chicago weckly sports paper, has that he would proceed to Chicago immediately to talk with Commissioner K. M.

LANDIS IS TO BE TOLD - OF GAMBLING CHARGES O'Hara, former lieutenant governor announced Mr. Collyer, who was confined to his bed because of illness, denounced President Heydler, of the National League for what he declared was an effort to befog the real issue by in- structing two players, Second Base- man Sammy Bohne, and Leftfielder Pat ‘Duncan of the Cincinnati Reds, to bring suit against Collyer's Eye for publication of the charges that gamblers had approached them in an effort to have a game with the New York.Giants “‘thrown.” O'Hara issued a statement today in which he declared no money would be spared in co-operating with Landis in investigating the charges “that a syndicate of professional gamblers had been preying, or endeavoring to prey, upon organized base ball.” NEW YORK, August 25.—John A. Heydler, president of the National League, declined today to comment on the criticism directed at him by Bert E, Collyer, publisher of Collyer’s Eye, Chicago 'sports weekly, which recently printed charges that players Bohne and Duncan of the Cincinnati Reds had been approached by gam- blers in an effort to have them “throw” a crucial series with the New York Glants. Collyer in a message to Com- missioner Landis accused President Heydler of unjustifiably attacking his paper and urged a thorough inves- tigation of the gambling charges. “Collyer's statement has no bearing whatever In the case, so_far as I am concerned,” President Hevdler de- clared. “If there is any basis for his charges T want to know it and at'my suggestion, the players involved wiil begin legal action against the publi- cation in an effort to establish their truth or falsity. That seems to me to be the best way to procecd right now.'
