The charges, filed by the officers of | the Cincinnati club, including Manag- er Christy Mubewsuu were in blank et form alleging violation of section | 40 of the league constitution which reads: “Any person who shall be proven guilty of offering, agreing, conspiring or attempting to cause any game of ball to result otherwise than on its | merits under the playing rules, shall the pre: dent of the league from acting a umpire, manager or player or in any | other capacity in any game of ball participated in by a league club.” President Heydler stated in a general way that the actual charges involv- ing Chase implied that he had bet up- on games. In speaking of the case after he had read his formal finding he said that Manager Math n': affidavit was a more or less general complaint against Chase’s conduct and talk upon the ball field but that there was little which was specific in its the trial was based. “The testimony showed,” said Heydler, “that chase acted in a fo: ish and careless manner both on ‘| field and among the players and that the club was justified in bringing the charges in view of the rumors which arose from i talk of its first baseman {not take his work seriously i entirely to blame for the which he found himself. however, no proof that : tionally violated or !ome the rules in re |ing with players or the many CLUETT.PEABODY¥ Cfl e Makers STORY OF GERMANY'S EFFORT FCR VICTOR story ¢ his d i a T ccount tal of more | France on | ovem h in Oc- | HAS seemed disposed to throw " its rece [ ORANDUM R 21 as U.

President Heydler said in his find- ings that “the interests of the pub- lic and of the game of baseball are far more important than the fate of any nadividual” He declared he ‘\\oul(l protect those interests, ‘no atter what the effect on pla)ers or clubs.” Heydler also served warning that any National league player who | bets on a game for or against his own {team or whether or not he plays in the game, will be expelled from the league. President Heydler said in his find- ings relative to alleged betting on games by Chase: | “In substance, the player was | charged with making wagers against his club and games in which he par- ticipated. In justice to Chase, I feel | bound to state that both the evidence and records of games to which refer- ence was made fully refute this ac- | cusation. “In one game in which it was in- timated that Chase bet against his club, the records show that in the sixth inning with two men on bases and the score 2 to 0 against his team, Chase hit a home run, putting Cin- cinnati one run ahead.” | TO HOLD ARMY AND NAVY | New York, Feb. j—At a meeting of {aar pshooting ngeme made to an army and navy week for hooters in this country and Can- ada culminating in a trophy shoot at h of the 4,600 clubs on Washing- A trophy will be pre- > winner at each club oot and later on when all the score: been compiled a special troph: be awarded for the best i | vidual score Association ts were here NOW IN GOOD STANDING Cincinnati, O, Feb. 5—The Na- tional Baseball Commission handed down notices today to the effect that Players Allen Russell and Hugh High of the New American League lub had been restored to goed stand- in organized baseball.
