Charges Against Centre Eleven
<1roundless; Author Retracts

AS this university is located at Lex
lrngton, KY, Just thirty-tive miles
from Danville, it would hardly be
possible for Centre to attempt any
thing unfair without instant dotec
ton. The other colleges of the South
have been without a word Of criti-
cism.
The charge that "Red" Roberts is
in reality one of the Nesser boys, or
anybody else, is too ridiculous for
comment. AS far as we know. no
member of the Nesser family has
ever crossed our campus, and the
very fact that the youngest Nesser
must be more than thirty years of
age, while Red Roberts is a boy of
t"enty and Just out of Somerset
High School last year, makes that
story a Joke. At least 10000 people
lIrght here in Kentucky have followed
the careers of RED" Roberts and "Bo"
McMillin through high school and on
the Centre team. Among these is
Governor Edwin T. Morrow, who has
known RED" Roberts since Roberts
was baby
=, Another letter to The Tribune, from
Emmet O'Neal, citizen of Kentucky,
says, in part:
The charges attack two men prin-
cipally, Mcmillan and Roberts. Those
two men are as we'll known to the
public in Kentucky as Mahan, Brick
ley, Tad Jones and others were to the
public OF New England. Just as the
Eastern public knew of those stars in
preparatory school. so we in Ken
;ucky knew Mcmillan and Roberts in
their days at Somerset High School.
tlve to ten thousand people in Louis
Vile can recall very we'll when Som
crset High School played Louisville
High School and defeated the Louis
vile High School by big score. 1t
was due to the prowess Of two BOYS,
Mcmillan and Roberts. Thousands of
people in kentucky know them and
would testify to their identity.
Many of us have followed the
Centre team this year and for sew
eral years, and we know that there is
no team in the country with anv
fairer record. Furthermore, they
have been investigated by Mahan and
Reynolds, of The Boston POST and
the statement has been made that in
age they are younger than the aver
age Eastern eleven"
New-York tribune., 1919-12-20

lnc whole subject OF the trouble and
, litigation that has arisen from the
suspension of CAY. Mays by President
johnson was gone into by the attorneys
of both sides. Each one presented a
different angle of the situation to JUS
tice Davis, who ordered all papers sub
mitted aid reserved decision
Mr.. Tuttle asked for an open com
mission on the ground that the written
.lnterrogatory would not furnish the
information sought by the attorneys
for the Yankees. He argued that an
oral commission could proceed upon
broader lines. and that answers to one
question would suggest another. Mr.
futile contended that he would not
know beforehand just what questions
he would care to ask. and that he could
only gain the desired information by a
personal examination.
The counsel for the Yankees then
attempted to show why the right of
open commission should be granted.
he rehearsed all the preceding litiga-
uon that had taken place between the
Colonels Rupert and Huston on one
side and President Johnson on the
other side since the suspension of
Carl Mays, last July
r.
Wynne held the view that a commits
sion to take written nterrogatories
would be sufficient. In speaking of the
suspension OF Mays he said the pitcher
was peeved because he was afraid the
Boston club, for which he was pitching
when the incident occurred that led to
his suspension, would not come in for a
share of the world series money.
Mr.. Wynne maintained Johnson was
neither czar nor bully. He insisted
the head % the American League had
made baseball clean game and not q
syndlcated one. He held that the New
York owners entered into negotiations
TO buy Mays from the Boston club ir
order that they might win the PENN It
and be a participator in the immense
amount of money accruing from the
world series.
Mr.. Wynnc sH;d that four summonses
without complaints had been served on
johnson when he came within the juris-
diction Of the courts on September TO-
lie said that Johnson had also been
served again with another summons at
4 p. m. on Saturday last He main
tanned that the application for the ap-
pointment of an oral commission was
unjust
