PACT RATIFIED
BY OLDLEACUE
Heydler Denies Rumor
Many Ball Players Slated
For Expulsion.

NEW YORK, Dec. II. National
League moguls in session here late
today ratified the agreement reach
ed at the recent joint meeting OF
the major and minor leagues.
The American League meets at
the Biltmore Hotel Friday, and IL
was considered probable that a joint
meeting of the major leagues would
be held Saturday.
John T. Heydler. president of the
National League, met newspaper
men just before the session began.
He denied the rumor which has been
current for some time, to the effect
that a number Of ball players are
slated for expulsion because OF al
legged dealings with the gambling
fraternity.
I'VE have a new commissioner 10
handle such cases." added Heydler,
referring to Judge Landis. Let
everybody tell him everything he
knows, or forever keep his peace
that. to my mind. els the only way
to settle questionable points in
baseball hereafter"
Heydler said Charley Herzog, who
has been released by the Chicago
club, had asked him for a hearing
and exoneration on charges regard
ing a game played between the
Phillies and the Chicago club last
summer, which was followed by ru-
mors of it having been fixed"
As for exoneration, Mr.. Heydler
said, this had already been done by
the Chicago club, and that Herzog
was turned loose by the Cubs not
because of unsubstantiatsd charges
against him, but merely because he
was drawing a salary too high in
proportion to his ability as a ball
player"
Heydler added. however. that he
might give Herzog a hearing after
the leagues session.
The Nationals chieftain spoke in
glowing terms of the acquisition
by the New York Giants of Hughie
Jennings. of the Detroit, as assist
ant manager. He expressed belief
that Jennings joining up with the
Giants would greatly benefit them.
Managers galore were ''buzzing'
one another in the Waldorf lobby
all morning as to prospects Of buy
ing or selling players. but up to the
time the league went into session
no deals had been announced.
President Frank Navin, OF the
Detroit club. said he had wired Ty
Cobb TO meet him here Friday, when
he will urge him to accept the man
agership OF the Tigers. Little doubt
Is entertained that Cobb will accept.
Johnny Evers, of the Cubs. and
George Gibson. of the Pirates. are
both angling for Walter Maranville
who has been placed on the market
by the Braves.
George Whitted. il was rumored
was given permission by the Pitts
burgh management to negotiate a
trade for himself. He is supposed
to be tired of the Dreyfus club.
Baseball has extended almost into
a week stand here with the decision
OF President Ban Johnson to change
the scene of the American League
back to New York. Pressure
brought on him by the quintet of
club owners now here used him
to switch the meeting back here
Friday. The club owners probably
will go into joint session on Satur-
day, with numerous powwows scat
tered between.
DALLAS, Texas. Dec 1.-THE
Cleveland Indians. world champion

OF the club. announced today.
