errors by Devlin, Hall and Nichols.

This bad work continued and which
the Louisvilles returned they had won
only two games out OF twelve played.
The result was that they lost the
championship by margin of three
games.
The Louisville directors were Ger.
tain that there had been crooked
work. but they had no absolute proof.
Nichols and Hall were suspected. Hall
had recommended Nichols to the club
in mid-season when the regular third
baseman was laid uR with boils.
When the team got 10 Brooklyn.
Hall asked Manager Chapman TO put
Nichols on the team, because the lat
ter was Brooklyn boy and would
have a great many friends among the
spectators.
The Exposure
When the team returned to Louis
vile they found that runners of the
dishonesty of certain OF the players
had preceded them.
Thereupon Devlin. the pitcher land
perhaps the greatest who ever handled
BALI called upon President Charles
f. Chase to deny his guilt. Chase
made Devlin believe he had more
knowledge than he really had, and
gave Devlin till eight o'clock that
night to make a full confession.
Hall saw Devlin go into Chase's
Office and leave it, Fearing Devlin
might confess, Hall went to Chase to
feel his ground. Then Chase saw his
opportunity, and by working one
against the other Chase got full con-
fession from each. Devlin accused
Hall of leading him into il. and Hail
laid his downfall on Nichols. Nc. ola
remained silent and took his pun.
ment without a word
The entire team were summoned
before the directors and each was
asked TO give a written order on the
Western Union Telegraph Company's
office at Louisville for duplicates OF
all kilograms received and sent out
by him during the season
The only member of the team to-
refuse was Captain Craver. and he
was promptly expelled.
A search Of the telegraph company's
flies turned up evidence of the players
guilt beyond question So Hall.
Nichols. Craver and Devlin were ex-
PEELED. and from that day none of the
four blacklisted men have been able
to play In single professional game.
