rotten conditions is the terrible
part Of it all.
The cause of the reticence OF the
majority Of club owners has been their
greed-their fear that exposure would
wreck their teams and cut down their
gate receipts.
In their blindness they couldn't see
the final blow-off coming-the ultimate
expose that would shake the game. AS

The present muck must be cleared
up. Baseball's life will hang in the

have knowledge of their teammates
indiscretions or crookedness must step
forward.
The time for belittling reports of
thrown games and bought players
is past.
So is the time for shielding crooked
players for the good Of the game
So is the time for combining the in
vestigations of crookedness to private
sleuthing by baseball officials or prl-
vate detectives hired by the clubs.
So, also, is the time for simply re-
leasing guilty or suspected players
without stating the real cause OF their
departure.
1t Is up to the baseball mag
mates and square players to lay
their cards on the table before the
public.
For about year we had heard re-
ports that the 1919 worlds series was
not on the level-that some Of the
White Sox players threw" the series
and got pay for so doing. Most ardent
~ did the baseball heads deny the
Iumors and try to hush discussions in
the papers regarding the reports.
And now we read that eight mem
bers of that White Sox team have
been indicted by a duly sworn grand
jury for "conspiring to do an illegal
