NOT GUILTY is.
HAL CHASE
VERDICT
Former Cincinnati First Base.
man Cleared of Ugly Charge
by President John Heydler.

~o~Ew YORK. sFeb, s.-"Not
~. guilty was the We dict rem
BSA dered in the case OF the Ma
IN 9onsl league, vs., Harold
k- Chase former Cincinnati first
baseman by Judge John A.
N\ HeY er here yesterday.
Chase was charged with
throwing games and having
pei against his own team. The verdict
the national game.
1t is nowhere established that the ac-
eused was interested in any pool or
age that caused n game, to result
olherwtse than on its merits" said
deydler in his decision.
The charges, filed by the officers OF
the Cincinnati club, including Mana
ger Christy Mathewson, we're in blan-
ket form, alleging violation Of section
81 or the league constitution.
President Heydler Stated - a gen.,
erSl way that the actual charges in
votying Chase implied that he had bet
on games. In speaking Of the case
after he had read his formal finding, he
said that Manager Mathewson's affida-
VT was a more or less general com
plant against Chase's conduct and talk
upon the ball field, but tina there was
little which was specific in its rela-
Ton to the real charge upon which the
trial was based.
Chase Foolish.
'"The testimony showed" said Heyd-
Ter, What Chase acted in a foolish and
careless manner, both on the field and
among the players, and that the club
was justified in bringing the charges
In view Of the many rumors which arose
from the loose talk of it's first base
man. There was, however, no proof
that he Intentionally violated or at
tempted to violate the rules in relation
TO tampering with players or in any
way endeavored to secure desired re-
suits in the outcome OF games.
Chase testified that he had bet on
the result of a baseball game with an
other player only twice in his profess
sional career. The first case was many
seasons ago, when he was a spectator
at a National league contest while a
member of the American league team,
The other wager was made in a post
season series of 1917, where he bet on
his club to win a game"
Chase refused to talk when informed
of the verdict, but his lawyers issued a
statement for him which declared that
full redress" from the Cincinnati club
which caused his suspension without
cause" and held up payment Of his
President Heydler said in his findings
that 'the interests of the public and of
the game OF baseball are far more inn
portant thar the fate of any indi-
vidual."
Heydler also served warning that any
National league player who bets or a
game, either for or against his own
team or whether or not he plays in the
game, will be expelled from the league.

JENNINGS PUTS
OVER GOOD DEAL
When He Got Ainsmith and
Slim Love.


Detroit Tiger fans are extremely hap
py over the way the Detroit club lines
up now on paper for next season as a
result Of the recent deal.
Hughie Jennings. everyone knows. OBJ
tanned Catcher Eddie Ainsmith, Out
fielder Chick Shorten and Pitcher Slim
Love from the Red SoN In exchange for
one man, Oscar Witt. In view Of the
Iact that Witt Is recognized as prob
ably the best third haseman in the
league the deal at first glance didn't
LOOK Ike a good one for the Tigers TO
outside fans. But here's why Il Is eX-
peeted 70 strengthen the team greatly,
In the first place the team was Woe
Iully weak behind the plate last sea-
son. Early in the season Oscar Stan
age, the mainstay, sustained a broken
finger and wRs forced to sit on the
bench. As substitutes Hughie had
Tubhy Spencer and Yelle. Yelle was
used more than Spencer, The youngs-
ter worked hard. He's a willing fellow
and tried to deliver. His catching was
fair, but his throwing very poor, Do
troit scrihes figure that the Tigers lost
many u game because OF poor throw
ing and support by the catching de-
payment at critical moments.
Stanage eventually returned to tho
game, only to receive another bum fin
ger.
The Tigers had no reliable first base
man last year. Leo Dresser started out
well but ftzzled. Ty Cobb did a fair
job 81 playing first for a while, a
strange position for him.
Jennings had hoped ever since the
season ended to be able to play He'll
man at first base this season, bU. un-
I'll Shorten was added to the roster
Hughes outfield needed Heilman as had
as the Unfold SO the coming Of Shorten
viii enable Hughle TO move Harry to
first and put Chick In the outfield, Civ
ing the Tigers a good outfield, Veach
will be the third member, Of course.
As to the loss OF Wit. -
Bobby Jones stacked up we'll as a
young infielder last season. Jones stili
lacks some Of the ~finesse as a fielder
that Witt had, but Rohby can hit like
a demon. witt was woefully weak at
bat, Jones hit wen over 800 when he
replaced Witt after Oscar had been laid
up,
So all in all the Tigers fans have a
right 10 he cheerful

Macon a Live Wire.

Macon has already shown that 1t is
a live wire, and that 1t Is inhabited
by some real baseball fans, and II the
Georgia city gets the Mobile franchise
1t is quite likely that the fans will
support the team in royal shape. The
first year of professional baseball in a
| city the caliber of Macon is always a
| club, they would feel II incumbent up
on themselves to rally around the team
at all times with their support, finan-
cial and otherwise. If the team failed
to make money, then the franchise
would have to- be transferred to some
other city by the mutual agreement OF
all the club wners. ~
The one fault to be found with a
small town is that the visiting teams
always have a kick coming because
they do not make as much. money as
stance, in Memphis when things are
going well, the visiting teams always
make a killing, because there are thou
sands OF fans to draw from and the
park is always well filled. However, on
the opposite paw, when the crowd Is
small the smaller is the bankroll the
visitors get, hence their complaint at
having a city which will not draw a
goodly number Of fans.
President John Martin is not worried
over the outcome of negotiations of
Macon and Mobile. for whatever Is
done, the league will start the season
class cities composing the circuit. Any
cities desiring to get out will be re-
placed with ease and there Is every
indication and assurance that there will
be no hitch In getting under way under
the most favorable circumstances.
