S “ New Charges Not Probable "Against- Acquitted Ball Players, Cincinnati, Aug. 5.—Prosecution of the former Chicago White Sox players who were acquitted recently in Chica~ g0 in Cincinnati on new charges was not a probability, Charles Elstin, as- sistant Hamilton county prosecutor said last night. Elstun, who went to Chicago when the grand jury investigated the cases of tha ball players said: “There is but one statute under which the prosecution could be started here—the gambling law. So far as I could sec there was no €vi- dence ito sustain a charge that there was gagnbling in Hamilton county. I instructed the Chicago prosecutors’ office to forward to me any testimony which might develop at the grand Jury hearing, but I never heard from that office, and I presume that there was nothing that could be connected up with a local prosecution.” ENLARGING STADIUM.
