It was considered™likely that a rul- ing by baseball Commissioner Landis would be forthcoming today, or pos- | sibly tomorrow, and while there was no intimation as to what the decision would be, friends of the two former | managers were confident that they would bg returned to good standing in organized baseball. Charges of Hubert “Dutch” Leo- nard, former Detroit pitcher, that the two had knowledge of a bet- ting coup on a fixed game between Cleveland and Detroit in 1919, were made public by the commission some months after Cobb and Speaker had resigned managerial positions. Pub- lication of the testimony in the case drew fire from President Ban John son of the American league and ul- timately led to his being shelved as acting president of the junior cir- cuit. Johnson, at Excelsior Springs, Mo., on sick leave, suffered an at- tack of mneuritis last night at the home of his friend, John EhmkKke, with whom he is staying. His con- dition was reported to be unfavor- able although not dangereous. In the event that Cobb and Speak- er are restored to baseball it was considered likely that the American league would m every effort to keep the star pla The Tribune prints a report that at the meeting of American league magnates here last Sunday it was the consensus that the two should be returned to the clubs with which | they formercly were associated. At least four clubs in the American league were reported to want either Cobb or Speaker, and it was inti. mated they would not have waived them except for word that was sent out by league dircctors at the time it was decided to ask resignations of the playing-managers, The Tribune also prints a report from Detroit intimating that the new 8 on might find Cobb in a New York Giant's uniform, playing for one of his keenest enemies, John McGrayw. Just before Cobb left for his home in Georgla, a Detroit reporter made the remark “wouldn’t it be funny if i | you and John McGraw were on the {erowd same team next summer 2" “Stranger things than that have happened,” Cobb was quoted as re- plying with a smile and a wink of his eye.

The discussion started when Wy- nant Hubbard, former Harvard football star, wrote & magazine article in which he cited 10 counts| in charging that Princeton had played dirty football against Har- vard. | While a few notable exceptions, offificials and athletic Harvard de- | plored the publication of the article. | There was no unanimous opinion | that the charges were not true in part but the complaint was that the charges should not have been made. Princeton’s first reaction was to g0 immediately to battle, but sentiment | cooled and the undergraduate reply | was—Piffle. | ‘When it seemed that the squall would blow over, storm clouds came | up when Hubbard made another at- | tack on Princeton and took a shot| at Brown. There is no telling now | how much territory the storm will cover and what will be the damage. | In defending himself against the | rather general criticism following the publication of his first charges against Princeton, Hubbard cited an T | the controversy. He also brought Chicago and the | Army into a position where they will | be forced to say something from a | standpoint of justice at least. | “It is significant,”” Hubbard sald,l‘ “that Princeton no longer retains| football relations with Navy, Chi-| cago or the Army.” And the impli- | cation was broad. Brown was drawn in as a code- fendant with Princeton when Hub- bard claimed Brown used such filthy language in the game against | Norwich that Norwich threatened to stop the game. | Although attempts are known to | have been made to have Hubbarad let | the matter remain where it was, n; ther charges to vindicate himself. He said he has not made public all the evidence he has and that all the evidence is bomb proof. i He did not mention any - other | cases, but it was understood from another souce that he can cite an in- cident that occurred between Keck, the Princeton captain, and Maguire, the Chicago captain, at a middle- western summer resort and again | before the Princeton-Chicago game. Also that several happenings dur- ing the last Princeton-Notre Dame | game in which Brown, the Notre| Dame captain, and Bach, a star| tackle, were attacked by Princeton | players in the open. | Hubbard may produce other sworn | evidence involving some of the big- | gest teams in the country. | MEN!
