the game were.
All paid tribute to the youths of
America who make the game what
it is today-that is, all but Fogel.
When called upon to speak, the
former Phillie president not only
accused everybody attached to pro-
fessional baseball, but went for
Connie Mack and said that when
Silk O'LOughlin made the famous
decision that many have claimed

said harsher things about the UNI
pire than he ever did.
Fogel was asked to stop, and
Ebbets became so boiling with rage
that he took the floor and asked
the POSTMASTER to have Fogel ST
fenced. There was pandemonium
for a short time, but Fogel finally
sat down and then Ebbets told
every one present the real facts in
the case. Connie Mack then in his
diplomatic way poured oil on the
troubled waters and asked the
young men to remember that Fo-
gel did not know anything about
the American league, anyway, and
that he was not competent to judge
of what went on in it's affairs.
Fogel wanted to reply to each of
the men who had answered him,
but the POSTMASTER told him that
his remarks We're uncalled for. and
then the former president left the
room in d huff.
