VERY GRAVE CHARGE.
Did ''Piggy" Ward Say Anything
About Throwing Games.

Frank Boyd says that Piggy Ward, of
Toronto. told Gaitney that the canadians
would throw every game TO Buitalo II
there was any prospect that the Bisons
would be beaten out by Rochester. 1t is
undoubtedly true that Ward said this. II
may be questioned whether he was telling
things just as they are but many are in
clined 10 think it so. II it is, the matter
should be investigated. fully and in detail.
This sort of thing will kin the game
quicker than almost anything else ana
base ball has stood pre-eminent among
professional sports because of the general
belief that 1t is played for all it is worth
and that there is no such thing as throw"
Ing games. When the public comes To he
nevc that there is much rottenness in Den
max the attendance will drop away ana
the game will go into a dacline.-Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle.
So Gaffney has not had enough fun in
his past despcable schemes in rohbinS

proves precisely what has been stated in
these columns IA score of times and that
Is that Boyd is Gallney's keeper. Nnen

Boyd each night would corral Gaiiney,

the umpire would fill mp on tanglefoot;
they would adjourn at intervals TO the bill

10 beat him, jollying him all the time. Is
ii any wonder that Jack Rowe should OBJ
ject to such a man? Does any sane per-
son Tor moment believe that PIGGY
Ward ever made such statement, and
even if he did, since when did he take
Buckenborger's place as manager of the
Cdnucks? Ward says Gatfney is II man
who copies closely the methods of an an
rient parsonage named Ananias, and he
may some day meet the same fate as tho
Biblical character. Does the playing OF
yesterday look like throwing games?
Well. hardly. Some of these reporters in
Rochester make Il person tired. anyway.

beaut. Nit!-Buffalo Enquirer.
The Tribune will hazard a guess that
Ward was idly saying things he didn't
mean and that others as well as Gaff
ney brought on the publicity of the
thing by indiscreet gossip. There is
nothing to warrant the belief that To-
rontO would throw even one game to
the Bisons. When there develops even
a suspicion of such Il thing. profess
sional base ball had better be put in a
good strong coffin and be buried so
deep that nothing but Gabriels horn

better be heraldcd from the housetops

sport may put upon il the heel of dis

when after number of days it did not
