A gamblers testimony That he
paid money isn't worth much.
RUDE Benton testified that
somebody offered him a bride to
lose a ball game, but he angrily
rejected the proposition and went
ahead and won the game. So his
testimony doesn't prove anything.
The grand jury doesn't have to
prove anything to do good to the
game. What has already been
accomplished is enough to let the
fans know that gamblers have too
much to do with the game.
Honest ball players are in the
majority. This investigation may
get rid of sone of the dishonest
ones, who will go to join Hal
Chase and Heine Zim and Magee
in the discard.
The dishonest ones who r
overlooked will be afraid to be
dishonest any more. They'll be
on their good behavior.
Last years world series was
crooked, but it's a good bet this
years world series will be honest.
They may not be able to con-
vict all the crooks, but they may
scare other crooked ball players
so they'll be afraid to say how
dedo to a gambler.
1t may be possible this way to
restore the fans to confidence in
the game.
