Chicago, Feb. 24.—The flat state- ment was made here yvesterday that three major league players of somg prominence woud not be seen in any championship games this year as the result of a socret investigation which has been carried on for some time, and which had to do with betting. No names were mentioned for obr vious reasons, but it is understoood that contracts were sent to these three piayers calling for so0 much less than they received a vear ago that there is little or no chance of their signing, Rumors of this came out at the baseball meeting in Chicago two or three weeks ago, but from what coufd be learned today, the matter has now come to a head. - Ban Johnson, president of the ‘American league, left here last eve- ning for Cincinnati for a conference with August Herrmann, and from there will go to New York for a meeting with John Heydler, presiden! of the National league. He erpects to spend only one diy in New York, but it is just possible that a chairman of the national com= mission will be selected at that time.
