1t is charged that many of the other

the Braves have been doing all season.

FOR a manager to change a payer

( Rankin Johnson. the pitcher, who
some years ago defeated Walter john
; son several times while he was with

I ed for five years as the result of con-
I tract jumping.

| That the owners of ball clubs are de-
| termined to prevent betting on games
! in their plants was proved in Chicag
| Saturday, when two men were arrested
| by detective and fined 800 each for
/ gambling at the Cubs park.
| 1t seems President Weeghman was

| ployed some private detectives. and

| The National League may mete out
| punishment to Manager Robinson of
| the Brooklyn Dodgers for charges he

! violation of the club rules.
! This was on the eve of the Phillies
coming for five-same series. and
/ Robinson is said to have accused Cal

| in order to favor the Phillies
| With a patched-up team made up
| largely of recruits Callahan then beat
! the Philiies four out of five, and now
| wants the league to "sit on Robinson.
