The Ticket ScaIping

Cincinnati. Jan. 6.-The final lid
was clsmped and seated here yesterday
on the celebrated ticket-scalping scan
dal that rufncd the baseball horizon d.
rectly following the worlds cHlmpion-
ship series in New York and Philadel-
phia last October
While the national baseball c9mmis-
sion gathered enough evidence to as-
sure Il that wholesale ticket scalping
took place in obth towns. yet this evil
dence indicated tbit neither the New
York National nor Philadelphia Amer
lean League Club owners, managers,
players or employees We're in collusion
with the scalpers.
The commission bu'ds that the
charges OF the press at the time We're
justified, but gently scores a number
Of people, who, at the time of the cpl
.sode. offered to produce proof as TO the
ALLEGED collusion, but failed to deliver
Amy evidence Of value
In addition 10 generating both clubs,
the commission praises them for the
extra precautions that were taken
.against scalping. state and municipal
legislation aglinst scalpng Is urged.
After n lengthy review Of the case.
the commission goes on as follows:
Notwithstanding two appeals to the
press and public for co-opertion i'm
making This Investigation thorough and
the employment Of a detective agency
to follow clews and to present proof,
the commission has been unalle TO So
cure sufficient satisfactory evidence on
which to adjudge e club employe guilty
OF furnishing scalpers with tickets and
debarring him from further connection
with that or any oher club operating
under the national agreement.

PRAISE AND CRITICISM MINGLED
"Thc New York club Is 90 be COM
riended for the precautions tlken by II
prior. during and after the sale of
t,cQots. in employing detectives TO
watch its emp Dyes. and also in depos-
iting their letters containing mail or
.dCrs in out-of-the- way stations in en-
vleorcs tlt could not DE recognized as
coming from the New York club.
con the other hand, it Is the opinion
Of the commission that when the mail
order roquets for the series tickets had
been exhausted and taken care OF by
th NV York club, that that club should
have then provided for the msil orders
received by them for slngel tickets in
stead Of holding these orders up for
some time without returning the money
thus causing many jusuGable COM
plants
1T is our judgment that the grant
ing of permission % sell tickets for
three games was serious mistake of
the commission as VOL as that OF per-
mittng the clubs TO conduct thcir own
sales, and II is the duty OF the COM
mission TO take every step that It can
to prevent, n recurrence OF the condi-
tions existing during the last worlds
series.

A Ria in Hand

Notwithstanding his leading place
in the list Of avowed candidates for
the democratic presidential nominal
ton. Champ Clark has filed again
for congress in his old Missouri dis
trict. Evidently the hound dog IA
vorite believes that "a bird in hand
Is worth two In the BUSH" and Ia
not as thoroughly convinced as his
friends try TO make on that he has
the Baltimore nomination nailed
down. A man who felt absolutely
sure OF being president would
scarcely think OF trilinfg with a
nomination for congress.
Apparently the ghost OF Mr., Bryan
has stsleked across the vision OF
Champ CLARK. FOR surely he does not
fear any Of the others now in the
race. unless. perhaps. II be Mayor
Gaynor. Clark has failed to wiring
from his whilom Nebraska champion,
any word BY which he might know
positively what the latter proposes
to do. and that. unquestionably. is
having its effect
II goes without saying that Champ
has filed for congress as the result
OF pressure brought to bear by my
constituents. or course. they, ell
do. This Is the day. when the office
and the constituents are chasing men
to death. who otherwise. would
never think OF running for anything.
The hound dog may yet have to take
up the scent on the same old trail.

One Of the last things to be taken up
by the house military committee. II taken
up at all. will be the numerous bills
which have been introduced In congress
restoring former officers to the army,
transferring army Officers from the re-
tired list to the active list. and pro-
noting army officers VINO have been re-
tired. There Is a long list OF these
bills involving personal legislation. which
Is not regarded with much favor by the
members OF the house and senate milf
tary committees. There may be an ex-
ception. so far as the committee Is con-
cerned, in the case OF Colonel William
F. Stewart. United States army, retired.
formerly OF the coast artillery corps, the
officer who gained distinction as having
been "exiied" during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration at the abandoned army post
at Fort GrontS. Ariz. Colonel stewart
refused to apply for his retirement when
asked to do so. unless he vera promoted
10 the grade Of brigadier general. Later
he was discovered as physically incapaci-
tatsd to a degree which led TO his re-
tirement. He has had se~rol hearings
before the house military committee and
has industriously pushed bis claims TO
favorable consideration, with the result
that Representative Hughes. chairman OF
the subcommittee having charge Of that
class Of legislation. has reported in favor
Of the bill.
