BILLY SUNDAY
ON FAKE BALL
Famous Evangelist and Former Dia
mond Star Explains Reaction
Scandal Will Have on
American Youngster.

THE following was written by
BILLY" Sunday, famous evangelist
and former baseball star, when asked
to explain the reaction the baseball
scandal will have on the American
boy.]
l[By Billy Sunday, Written for the
United Press.]
copyright 1920 by the United Press.
ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 3O.-The
heart of the average American boy
will cherish bitter. enmity toward the
'dastardly gambling interests that
corrupted his baseball idols.
But no boy will say today he has
lost faith in baseball. He is just one
more factor of a public eager to re-
pudiate the slightest suggestion of
dishonesty and anxious to back up
the efforts to maintain for base ball
the reputation 1t has had for years
Clean. on the square, wholesome and
American.
Disloyalty and dishonesty did what
all the sluggers in the American
league could not do: drive Eddie
Cicotte from the box
Thus one Of the idols OF American
boyhood fell from his pedestal of
fame.
To my mind this constitutes one of
the saddest features connected with
the baseball scandal Even this.
however, will not rob the average
boy of his interest in and love for
baseball. Boys go in to win. No
suspicion of crookedness ever enters
their heads. 1t is the hardest thing
under the sun to corrupt boy so
that he will lose a race or throw a
