HADTNO REAL EVIDENCE,
CHICAGO CLUB STATES

: CHICAGO. October 2s.-The Chicago
American League club. in statement
through its secretary. Harry Gardiner.
has denied that Harry Redmond or
any one else had given the ciao POSI-
tive evidence prior to the grand jury

PLAYERS had thrown" games to Gin
cinnati in the 1919 world series.
The statement was In reply TO re-
ports that the club had been aware OF
the game throwing and could have
taken action before the grand jury be-
gan it's investigation. .--------.---.-
Redmond said he had told the Jury
he had given President Comiskey of
the club positive evidence last winter
that the series was fixed.
Redmond never gave any one con-
nected with this club any evidence
upon which the club could act. said
the statement. "The club was in
formed last winter that Redmond had
lost heavily on the series and had
learned that games were thrown and
would be willing to give evidence
upon which the guilty persons could
be convicted il the club would make
good his losses.
Manager William Gleason and
Norris O'Neill Immediately went to st.
Louis to see Redmond, and later he
came to Chicago at the clubs request.
redmond could not, however. tell
anything definite. He had only ru-
mors, only hearsay stories. He could
not name or furnish anything which
could be called evidence. His story
then seemed to be merely the hard
luck yarn of a loser"

Last year IN the game at Brookla nd

Despite soggy field and driving rain.
the teams managed to play brilliantly
enough to thrill the specta tors. The
Brooklanders egistered the first score
put could not Withstand Gallaudet S
late attack that evened the count.
Catholic University this year has
practically a new team that has been
developed by coach new to District
college ranks. Robb has brought the
squad along well enough to enable the
Brooklanders to make a creditab BILE
showing against combinations of like
caliber Injuries It times have handi-
capped the Maroon and Black. but the
men now are in excellent shape and
this week the eleven has been speeded
in secret practice for the Kendall
Green engagement.
The Brookland line is light. but
aggressive. Although green. it has
lots of snap and power and knows
enough of the game to help the backs
advance and illustrate opposing at
tacks. In Dunn. Mcnamara and Gibbs,
Catholic University has backfield play
ers of exceptional capabilities. while
Fitzgerald, who recently rejoined the
squad. successfully demonstrated his
prowess as running back in last
years game against Maryland.
Gallaudet this year has more and
better material than has reported at
Kendall Green in several seasons past.
Coach Hughes has so perfected the
eleven's offensive that it has been able
to score in all except one of its games
and it has been a difficult team to
score against. Recent shifts in the
backfield have rounded out good ball
running combination.

leagues in existence, and normally
twice that many. They employ a
dozen times as many players as the
majors. They play in approximately
IT'S cities. while the. majors play in
only ten. Eight or nine of these

tai invested in their plants ex-
ceeds that invested by the majors.
Yet tn, minors are supposed to trail
along and place the entire control
of their property in the hands of men
selected by competitive interests.
For Experienced Men.
THE I.asker plan provides that the
board is to be composed of men of
national repute. in nowise financially
interested in base ball. whose salaries
are to be paid from the receipts of the
world series. The greater the ma
tional repute' of the men selected, the
less they will know about the legisla-
ton, the customs and the traditions
of the game and the peculiarities OF
Athe players and swne-a These tmen.
essarily have to seek advisers. Can
there be any doubt that these ad-
visers will be the men who select them
and pay their salaries?
THE Lasker plan. in so far as 1T
affects the minor league. does not
ring true. If the majors wish to re-
establish relations with the minors.
they must come clean and submit
some proposition which gives US full
control Of our own affairs and an
equal control of our relations with
them.
THE statement is made that a ma
jority of the minors are in favor of
this plan This must be taken with
grain of salt. We know of eight
league presidents who are unalter-
ably opposed. and, while We do not
speak with authority for all the
minors. it is safe to say that at the
Kansas City meeting they will pass
resolution wishing the majors every
possible success in cleaning house and
pledging their cooperation in every
way. except where it affects their
right of self-government. But this
right they will not surrender under
any consideration"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-10-28

1t is claimed that under the Lasker
system the minor leagues. which control
more players and territory and have
more money invested in base ball than
the majors. are literally without voice
in the proposed government of the game.
regardless of their apparent right OF
representation on the commission.
Point to Resolutions.
This claim is based in part upon a
portion Of the resolutions adopted by
the major league clubs in favor of the
plan. which reads: THAT this board of
control and its chairman shall be select
ed by majority vote of the clubs of
the National League and the clubs OF
the American League, who shall on or
before November i. 1920. have signi-
fed their acquicscence in the plan pro-
vided in these resolutions. at meet
ing hereby called, to be held in Chicago.
November s, 1920"
According to prominent western
minor Lacquer the plan, as disclosed dur
ing an informal conference between a
major league club president and himself.
requires the minors to accept repre-
sentative on the commission already
selected by the majors. While 1t was
intfmated that the minors must accept
this representative there was fiat re-
fusal to name either the major league
prospective representative or the CHAIR
man of the commission. he said.
Fultx Finds Flaws.
When the matter was called to the
attention of President David L. Fultz
of the new International League he
said:
1.-The Lasker plan contains the
sane fundamental error of govern
ment as the one upon which the
national agreement rode to its fall.
1t provides that minor, as well as
major leagues shall be controlled by
q board Of three men. who are to
be chosen solely by the major leagues:
the minors may offer suggestions. but
the voting power rests entirely with
the majors. This board is to have
complete central not only over the
relations that exist between minors
and majors, but over their internal
affairs as well. In other words. we
are expected to subscribe to gov

no voice and to which we must sub
