Chase to Know Fate To-day.

Hal Chase. famous first basemsn Of

to-day John Heydler. president OF the
National League yesterday announced
that he will make public his finding IN
the Chase case at noon Tho decision
will be the last chapter of series Of
incidents which happened six months
ago.
Heydler has made a careful EXAMINE
alton OF he typewriter report of the
proceedings OF the Chase case hearing
held in the league offices last Thursday.
and tho National League president ar
rived at a decision yesterday. In his
finding to be made public to-day Heyd-
Ter will review the case from its incep-
ton. make a full statement A. to the
charges submitted against Chase by the
Cincinnati club and also will review
the evidence submitted At the hearing.
Heydler said the case has had so much
publicity. and has been discussed at
such length. that the public Is entitled
70 an oeacial version Of the affair from
start to finish
No Hallway Decision.
There can be TO halfway decision.
Either Chase Is innocent OF violating
section 40 OF the National League con-
stitut!on. dealing with "Crookedness and
lts PenaItles, or ne IL guilty. Tne PEN
atty. In the event that Chase Is declared
guilty, Is fixed in the same sections
namely. permanent disqualification from
organized baseball.
There has. OF COURSE been much
speculation IS to tho decision Heydler
win make. The general opinion in local
baseball circles Is that Heydler will
| acquit the famous hrst baseman, as the
Cincinnati club has been unable to fur
nish conclusive evidence that Chase
! actually had dealings with gamblers In
which Hal agreed to throw games
1t also is pointed out that the case
10 unlike that Of Hall. Devlin. craver
and Nichols. the players expelled for
throwing games In 1877. IN tho case
OF these players, the National League
had come visible evidence to work on.
as kilograms were intercepted between

gamblers. In the Chase case all evidence
Is repeated conversations. much Of II
clubhouse gossip.
1t Is significant, however. that after
getting affidsvits from Neale. Perritt,
Regain and Ring. Heydler found II nee
essary to bring the players to New York
at the leagues expense The fact that
Hsydler has required all this time to
ponder over the evidence also makes n
appear that the Cincinnati! club ma y

MURPHY REPORTED
AS GRANTS PARTNER
Former Owner Of Cubs Said to
Be Financially Interested
in Braves.

Latest developments in the mystery
regarding the Identity OF the new owners
Of the Boston National League club
lead to the suspicion that one Of George
Washington Grants partners is none
other than Charles Webb Murphy.
Murphy will be remembered as tho
former president OF The Chicago Ma
tionals, who was forced out OF the
league. Murphy sold his control OF the
Cubs under pressure. but nevertheless
cleared close to q million on the trans
action.
1t was learned yesterday that Mui-
ply came East to be In the thick OF mo
Grant negotiations for the Braves. Cos
sip has 1t that he was In New YORK, In
communication with Grant, when the
latter went up to Boston 10 complete
the deal.
Murphy and Grant are close friends.
Grant was a regular visitor IN Murphy's
box In Chicago when the Cubs we're in
their prime. Both men we're born In
Cincinnati Murphy has tried repeatedly
to put some of his money back into
baseball. Recsnty he made an unsue-
cesaful effort to place an American As
ISOLATION franchise in the West Side OF
Chicago.
Murphy merely may have loaned
money to Grant to help him swing
the big deal. That would be q strict
business transaction outside the logisla-
ton of the National League. Murphy
unQuesuonably would not be welcomed
back to the league In which he proved
such q mischiefmaker. but II he aided
another man to buy club which
holsters the league in ons of its weakest
spots there could be no objection.
John Heydler said yesterday There
Ia one thing know about Mr. Grant.
