CHICAGO HOWLS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-A reporter for the As
sociated Press called on President Hart
Of the Chicago club today and requested
an expression as TO the steps he proposed
taking in regard to the alleged throwing
of games to the Boston club, in order 20
defeat the Chicagos in the race for the
pennant.
Il do not share the opinion of many"
said Mr.. Hart, that it was a combined
effort on the part OF the eastern clubs TO
throw the championship to Boston. The
Bostons have lately been playing won
fully strong game, and it might be possi-
bic to have won five straight games from
the New Yorks on their merits; but 1t is
very unfortunate for them aud all con-
cerned that their title TO the pennant
should be clouded by suspicious actions
by those in control of the playing of the
New York team. Were | under indict-
tial evidence against me as strong as it ap-
pears to be against the New York club,
l should expect to be hung.
From my present information and from
private advices from Boston l cannot but
feel that there has been either downright
dishonesty on the part of the New York
club or gross incompentency on the part of
those in control of the team in the games
played in Boston the past week. If the New
Yorks were badly broken up. as they
claim, why did they consent to play two ex
ira games in Boston, one of which should
have been played in New York instead of
Boston? Iwould also like to know why it
was necessary TO be so secret in obtaining
the consent of two-thrds Of the league
clubs for those games? There are also
many other questions which | deem more
appropriate TO ask before an investigating
COMMITTEES than to discuss through the
press. L shall leave no stone unturned to
probe this matter to the bottom"
