Fullerton, (Copyright, 1920, by Hugh S. Fullerton.) N open New Year's letter to major league officials and club owner Gentlemen: New Year greetings and best wishes, It is evident that you are sturting 1920 with an effort to restore the professional game of baseball to the high standing it en- Joyed in previous years. There are signs that the high promises that huve been made by you In the past are to be redeemed and that the bughting influences ,that have crept into the sport are to be eliminated as eae possible. omiskey is taking serious and honest steps toward cleaning up all the scandal connected with the World's Series, The warring factions of the American League seem to be making progress in getting together fad removing the causes of all the discord, . For 1920 I sincerely wish you a ecandalless year, the end of internal rows, @ cessation of the charges and counter charges that you hurl at each other, a better understanding with the players, the elifhination of gam- bling as an influence upon the sport, the summary dismissal of any player or official who by act or word may bring discredit upon the game, The last year has been one of fi- nancial prosperity and prostitution of the sport to finance. Grave charges have been made among you against each other and against offi- cials. Grave charges, for the first time since Hulburt expelled the crooks, have been made against players. Whether these charges are true or not, you must investigate and discover. Whether any player. of any team has acted dishonestly it 1s not for me to say. If I had provf of any crooked dealing I would shout it. But we know that gamblers have claimed to control certain ball play- ers, that charges that some players took money to let opponents win have been circulated widely. I am rather shocked to discover that some of your pumber have tried recently to raise the charge that cer- tain writers, ng them myself, started these stories. These stories were not started, nor were they cir. culated, by baseball writers. They started before the series was played, were circulated during the ser’ and were so widespread in the West that detectives were employed to watch players. COMISKEY, NOT FULLERTON, GAVE SCANDAL PUBLICITY. ‘phe scandal became go insistent that C. A. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, was compelled in self-defense to investigate and to offer a large sum for proof that his players did not try to win. By making that offer Mr. Comiskey placed the scandal before the public. Up to that time I never had mentioned it. I could not make my: believe that any of the boys accuse could be guilty. I never have indicated by a written word what I thought. Hut from the time Mr. Comiskey made the offer, I have insisted that it is the duty of organized baseball to go to the bottom of the entire case, and either find those boys guilty or innocent Unfortunately the National Commis- sion has made no move. The fact 1s that no action by tho National Com- mission would satisfy the fans. National Commission has lost the con- fidence of the basebal} public. If it should decide that the seven men ac- cused by rumor are innocent victims of the talk of disgruntled gamblers, no lone would believe the commission. It is your own fault. You and the owners ave made charges against each other, which has caused the fans to believe that each is telling the truth about tho others and that the entire government of the game is wrong. ‘Comiskey is conducting a deep in- vestigation. One thing the fans may rely upon is that Comiskey will go as far as he can to dig up the truth. If he finds even the suspicion of guilt he will clear out the entire team. If he believes any man on his club has been wrongly accused he will tell the world in a way that cannot be mis- understood. pletes his work of investigation. Thus far he has succeeded only in finding men who heard something from som¢ one else, If we had a National Commission such as you gentlemen purport to be, this scandal would have been cleared up long ago. One member of the com- mission at least knew about the sto- ries that were going around the morn ing of the second game of the series. Had he done his duty he would have started the investigation then and there. He did not.

BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK Wists BASEBALL MAGNATES. PICTURE OF ENGLISH BOXER VISITING UNITED STATES - - Copyright, 1919, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World) A SCANDAL-LESS NEW YEAR e keeping quiet “for the of the game" is at the bottom or it all, Such things cannot be Kept quiet. After the series ended I went fishi and hunting for two weeks. Retu! ai discovered that every one in Chicago seemed to know the stories. I was questioned by some ope every few feet on the streets. When I protested ig- norance they smiled. Twice I was ac- cused of “being in on it.” One owner has written demanding that “I prove my charges.” Never having made any charges, this Is ditf- cult. I will charge, however, that one of the worst and most suspicious things of the entire matter is that this man wants things kept quiet for the “good of the game.” It would,not hurt baseball even if the men accused should be found guilty. If they were kicked out the fans would believe the owners honest in their efforts to keep the sport clean. Remember that only seven out of more than 300 are even accused by gussip. Are not the others entitled to protection? Anyhow, the fans can give ranks who wants the truth for Comiskey, no matter who it hurts. Since he is the one with the most at stake his ae- tion is the more commendable, ITS THE FASHION TO BLAME WRITERS, One of your number has charged that I'am trying to burt baseball. $n the past one of the favorite methods of defense made by baseball club own- ers charged with any offense of any Kind has been to accuse the reporter of having animus. This one says the apimus “was that the dope went wrong. In insisting that you kentlemen dig to the bottom of this dal, I do 80 as much in the interests of the Reds and @f Moran as of any one. They ought not to be robbed of the honors they won by persons who charge their opponents laid down. Also [am n bit selfish In it. I have spent twenty-seven years in baseball, iuak'ng a living for myself and family. 1 always have argued *hat it is tm- possible to make bi all crooked. Admitting that a pla¥ér or group of players can at times lose gaimes pur- posely, I have insisted that no man or team can get away with crooked work for any length of time. I have believed this firmly and written and argued with dozens about ft. Even during the World’s Series I took that attitude and barked loudly upon it. Talk about dope going wrong! Hot would you gentlemen like to writ and argue for twenty-seven years and then have some fellows come along and tell you that it not only fs pos- sible but that it has been and is be~ ing done? How can a writer who wants to be ir and honest continue writing’ baseball unless it Is proved to be fair and on the level? You have made a good start in the new year, -Keep it up, The one big thing to do js to make the sport the hing.
