BASEBALL REMAING (GREATEST OF GAMES Baseball Writers Hold Annual Banquet in New York New York, Feb. 7 (/) — Base- ball is still a great game and will continue to furnish employment for a number of athletes who will per- | form before thousands of specta tors. This was the consensus at the annual banquet of the New York chapter of the baseball writers of America last night. Much of the fun making of the evening was built about recent in- vestigations of Commissioner K M. Landis, Who was a guest o honor. Ty Cobb “stopped the show” when he was introduced in com- pany with a score of major league baschall players. The applause at the_name of Cobb continued until the® former Detroit manager, mani- festly moved by the tribute, pressed his appreciation of the ovs tion. Another outbreak of cheering followed his talk. John A. Heydler, president of the Natlonal league, suggested that the epidemic of scandal gossip has not been’ confined to baseball but attacked other sports as well. “The litle fish arc never gossipped about,” said Heydler. “There were aspersions cdst on Washing ton a while ago and more recently Gladstone has been under fire.” The National league president de- clared that baseball has been de- clared all right because the game is all right, Frank Cavanaugh, football coach, talked to the ball writers about football, Fordham b saying |that the spirit that wins in foot- ball also wins in bascball.
