The American leagtte prexy, wh cly criticized Baseball Com- missioner Landis for making public | tho Leonard charges, mentioned Cobb’s handling of players as “not| to be tolerated in the American league,” and his principal count! against Speaker related to betting| on horse races. “Talk of crookedness had no part| in our decision to demand the| resignations of these two managers. They simply were not equal to their | gobs, and so they had to go." This new and vital sidelight on the Cobb-Speaker publicity | around which led to' the investiga- | tion of 1917 scandal charges, and | the unloosing of a host of vague| yumors of other baseball irregiari- | ties, gave a rather wan aspect to| the possibility that any sensational | disclosures would be made here Monday A real row, however, brewing in two quarters.f lates to what will come when President Johnson and h American leaguers meet here pre- Jiminary to the conference with| Landis, and the other what will | come of the Johnson-Eandis feud| when the two baseball leaders face | each other.

Johnson’s explanation epunts against Cobb and was given in these words: “As leaders of men, they were failures and they were not giving their best to the public. The Leon- ard charges involving them inconsequential, though Cobl's ter to Leonard. was foolsh something that should never been written. “The chicf reason why the Amer fean league will have no more them, is that they failed toy live up to their responsibilities to the pub- le.

They simply were not equal to their jobs when they go to a ball game, that the players are giving their best e forts to win, and neither Cobb nor | Speaker was getting the most out | of his team. | “When the manager has a Retting commissioner in the park ever placing the bets of the players on horse races, it follows that the ball game s not receiving his entire at- tention, s “The league has a rule agains betting, though it does not specifi- cally state that horse race betting is meant. We do not mearr that play- ers must not go to see races when they have an off day, or bet $2 but when a group of players wins $4,200 n one pool, certainly they are not &iving their entire attention to base- ball, as the public has a right to expect. “Cobb is one of the greatest pl ers the game cver saw, but when he began to threaten his players, that he would “railroad” them out of | the zame, something 1 to be done.
