all we could, if there was any
foundation to the charges, to in
sure that a dastardly conspiracy, ir
any, be thwarted.
Il sent for Alexander and
sketched the situation to him, offer
ing him a bonus of $500 if he won
that particular game and l am sure
that no man ever went into the box
wanting to win more than did
Alexander.
Detectives Are Employed.
Il Immediately got in touch with
the Burns Detective Agency and had
them put two operatives in the park,
where they could watch if any un-
toward thing happened which might
be interpreted as suspicious.
with Alexander in the box the
game was played before the public
and the baseball reporters, than
whom no greater experts nor sharp
er eyed detectives live.
Following the game I had Man
ager Woods, of the local Burns De-
tective Agency office, in my office.
and gave him the original kilograms
and instructed him to lose no time
and spare no expense to locate the
parties who made the charges and
obtain from them such evidence as
they had
Il gave the matter no publicity,
because I was afraid il l did that
if a crime had been committed no.
tiCe given by such publicity would
inspire the guilty parties to exercise
efforts to cover il up.
Reporters to Aid Probe.
Il want the baseball reporters of
the Chicago papers to meet and Sc
leCt from their number a committee
of three to investigate the charges.
Our club will defray all expenses in
connection with the probe, including
the engagement of detectives and
attorneys. The selections of the de-
tectives and attorneys shall be en-
tirely in the hands of the commit
tee"
Veeck said he intended to con-
tinue the probe he had started
through the Burns agency. but that
so far none of the men who had
wired the club had been located.
He said that when the evidence
and report of the sporting writers
| is in he will ask President Heydler
| of the National League to call a
meeting of the league directors and
leave action to a majority vote.
This scandal. whether true or
untrue" he continued, is more
than the business of the Chicago
Baseball Club.
Baseball belongs to the Ameri-
can people. For baseball to be un-
clean would not only be in Amerl-
can life a sporting calamity but a
moral calamity.
+ IF the investigation Of the sport
ing writer's should result in the
finding. by directors of the National
League. that there have been play
crs on the club team guilty of the
crime charged we will drive such
players out Of baseball even though
it shatter the Chicago team com
pletely for any chance in the COM
ing season"

Austin, oct. 15.-Claims of the
state OF Texas for 10000 acres OF
land in the Panhandle, alleged to be
excess in the survey Of the 100000
acres of land granted the Capitol
League Syndicate for erecting the
Capitol buildings in 1884, were al

The state contended that the syn
dictate received 100000 acres in
stead Of the 100000 acres due
them. this contention being based
upon a re-survey of the lands held by
the syndicate. The Judgment allowed
all state claims and directed that
the $4,000 acres of land shall be
taken from the 100000 acres still in
the hands of the syndicate and that
il shall be in one body. h. F. Smith,
