BALL SCANDAL
DEEPLY PROBED
BY GRAND JURY
Investigation Of Thrown
Games May Spread to
Other Cities.

Chicago, Sept. 27-CUnited Press)
Complete investigation Of every
scandal of baseball in recent years
by the Cook county grand jury was
indicated today with the prepara-
ton of more than twenty subpoenaes
for witnesses to appear before the
Jurors when sessions are resumed
here Tuesday.
The world series of 1919 between
the Chicago White Sox and Cincin-
natl Reds and National and Ameri-
can league games this year will be
barred, according to Assistant
States Attorney Hartley Replogle.
That the investigation may spread
to other cities was indicated by Of
fcials who said gamblers who wag-
cred on the last world series were
located throughout the country. On
the theory that these gamblers may
have tried to FIX" local games, it
was believed investigations may be
made in other major league ball
cities.
l. sCommy" Was Suspicious.
Charles A. Comiskey, owner OF
the White Sox, suspected some
thing" after the first game Of the
| world series last year, he said. CO.
miskey said he voiced his suspicious
to President John A. Heydler Of the
National league. Heydler. here to-
day as a witness to 60 before the
grand Jury, confirmed Comiskey's
statement.
Heydler said he mentioned the
matter to Ban johnson. president Of
the American league, but that John
son replied with q rather curt re-
mark that made me drop the mat
ter"
Split Widened.
The split between COmiskey and
Ban johnson was further widened
today.
There's one man working on this
investigation whom did think was
sincere in it. but ! believe now he's
| using it for personal gain," said
, Comiskey. 1T was a terrible thing
to see a story printed of crooked
ness on the White Sox part recent
ly just before they went into q
tough series with New York, but II
was still worse to follow with a
statement Of blackmail Of my play
ers by gamblers just before they
went into the series against Cleve-
land, a club in which this man is
interested. l refer to Ban Johnson
president Of our league"

Ogden. Utah, Sept 27.-woodrow
Wilson will get IN the state Of Utah
tho solemn referendum Of the
League Of Nations which he so
earnestly desires and what is more,
the verdict will be favorable to the
league. For no matter what rea-
sons other states may have for
castiLg their electoral votes for

reason why Utah is going Demo-
cratic this year is her fervent in
terest in the League of Nations as
step in the direction of prevent
ing war.
Aormons Fayor League
Utah contains a community that
takes principles rather seriously.
When former President Taft came
to the tabernacle here and the peo-
pie crowded in to hear him appeal
for the League Of Nations, Utah
was impressed; when President
Wilson filled the Tabernacle and
preached the doctrines of the
league. Ctah was affirmed in its
conviction. When Governor Cox
came here. a religious fervor pre-
vailed in the big tabernacle, as he,
too. spoke for the League Of Ma
tions, besides q year ago the con-
ference Of the Mormon church ex-
pressed itself almost unanimously
for the league.
Viii Vote for Cox.
Having taken such a position. the
Utah people are more or less at q
loss to understand those, who Tor
political reasons, have abandoned
the League Of Nations for the time
being. They will vote for Cox be-
cause Senator Harding has appar-

The conversations regarding tho
California law which have been go
ing on between Ambassador Shide-
hara of Japan. and state DEPART
ment officials are continuing and 90
far as has been learned the pro-
posal for a Joint commission has
not been formally communicated to
Washington by the Japanese gov
ernment.
Would Prevent Alarm.
The attitude of the state depart,
ment is described as one CALCULATED
to prevent the development Of q
feeling of alarm In the United
States that might approach even ap-
proximately that which appears to-
be growing in Japan.
Conflicting Opinions.
Conflicting opinions Of both
American and Japanese authorities
on international law are said to-
have made the task Of the state de-
partment officials and Of the Japan
ese ambassador more difficult
Proponents of the California law
say that California in enacting a
measure barring the Japanese from
owning land in that state would be
refusing to the Japanese in this
country mo rights or privileges
which are not refused by Japanese
law to Americans in Japan.
Japan contends that the Call
fornia law, which is to be voted on
in November, is discriminatory be-
! cause it does not apply to all for
eigners alike as does the japanese
law.
