~ course you can't believe all
the secondhand. near-beer
saloon information that is
floating around, but one bit of rumor
has drifted In that is worth publish
ing.
This information is that Bill Foxen
admits that he laid down" on the
Atlanta club and purposely played
for his release.
We didn't hear this first hand We
aren't on BilPs speaking list. But
it came pretty straight and it sounds
pretty reasonable.
THE story is that Foxen admits he
l played for his release here. He
Is said to attempt to justify himself
with the following statement:
Il got in bad with the Atlanta
club because I wouldn't go out booz-
ing with the players They got sore
on me and made it as hard as they
could. Under the laws of organized
baseball there was only one way to
get away. That was by losing games
So l lost games" That may not be
the word for word admission, but
that is probably about the gist of it.
GASES where players have been
accused of laying down" are
plentiful enough in the annals of
baseball. but this is perhaps the first
time on record where a player has
admitted his guilt in the matter
While nobody in Atlanta feels in
clined to excuse Foxen in this mat
ter, It is a fact that the rules of base
ball make it pretty hard for player
who is thrown into a team made up
of souses and soreheads. He must
play with them, LAY down" or leave
baseball
Of course the only manly thing to
- do is to see it through, no mat
ter what the conditions are on the
team. The public has no love for
gutter. The Atlanta public shows
that fact every time FoXen visits the
city-and always will as long as he
comes here.
Their only regret is that they can
not get a shot occasionally at the
other member Of the hold-out sketch.
Pitcher FTock. They would dearly
dote on giving him an occasional
good time.

LAFAYETTE WINS
'CROSS.COUNTRY RUN
Find City College Harriers Easy
to Beat Over Van Cortlandt
Park Course.

The barriers of Lafayette College proved
too speedy for the team from the College
of the City Of New York In a dual run
held over the six-mile Van Cortlandt Park
course yesterday and defeated the Harlem
boys by a score of 10 to 40 points. 1t was
almost a procession OF Easton runners
across the finish.
Harry J. Otto. who covered the first
circuit in IS minutes seconds, with Eddie
Frey. of the local college. few yards
behind. proved an easy winner. Frey was
able to keep a short distance behind Otto
for mile of the second lap, but there
after Otto sprinted away and was more
than 100 yards in the lead at the finish.
The winners time was 80 minutes 43 sec
onds. The other Lafayette runners who
composed the visiting team trailed in
order behind Frey, and were followed by
the remaining four City College boys.
Unfamliarity with the course caused
the runners to go far out Of the trail. The
event was held in a drizzling rain, and
IL was so dark when the last five run
ners finished that they could not be dis
cerned more than twenty yards distant.
