White or Black SOx?
(New York Post. ]


 Those who astOnished by the acquittal of the seven former White Sox players trial in Chicago mfll quickly realize that it acquittal in techni- cal sense only. Judge Friend instructed the jury that it not enough for the State to prove that the players threw the World Series in 1919 It must prove that they threw it with intent defraud the public and others It appears thathere was no Illi- nois law in 1919 to make it criminal men to play a second-rate game when they might be playing a frstrae game. The written confessions of Cicotte, Williams. and Jackson admitted only under strict reservations Thus in reading Cicottes thirty page Grand Jury confession the prosecution was compelled omit all references to any defendants ex- cept Cicotte himself.
 We must accept the acquittal just under the Courts charge to the jury. But the accused players know as well any one that they would have to run the gauntlet of two other trials and gain two other acquittals before their admirers could call them as they did yesterday, 'the clean Sox" Would the major leagues acquit them sufficiently allow them to play again? If they did could public sentiment acqnit the players sufficiently approve action Friends of the sport will trust that the players will never again be admitted to big league baseball. The sautary effect of the scandal it's standards would be wholly destroyed If they allowed to return to the game

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Perhaps the greatest central incident in American journalism of the last quarter of century has been nhe growth and development of the New York Times under the direction of Adolph s. Ochs, it's principal owner and always the the helm. MT Ochs took possession of the New York Times twenty five years ago on the 18th of August He went to New York from Tennessee town where he born and reared and where he made what regarded as a fortune in that country at that period by building up country daily newspaper He found the New York Times with little besides interesting history. He made it one of the greatest if not the greatest oi American newspapers.
 The great success of Mir. Ochs who began with nothing and created great newspapers and an immense fortune for himself, due more than any thing else to the fact that he had ideals lived up them. and worked hard
 The New York Post, itself great newspaper of the right sort and with history even more inter- esting than that of the Times, commenting on the 26th anniversary of the Times paid that paper and it's owner this generous though well earned tribute
 To the New York Times which celebrates
 today the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
 assumption of control by it's present owner,

 business departments of the paper due

 phrase. the romance of business surely
 will apply to story that is at the same time
 one of business and of public service When
 MT. Ochs acquired the Times in 1896 it was

 front rank of American newspapers and is

 The extraordinary influence and pros

 fully much tribute to the American
 reading public to the enterprise its
 owners and editors. It has been a success
 built up on the imagination which, at a time
 when the so-called popular" journalism was
 in the ascendant. was bold enough to assume the existence of demand for the news
 seriously presented and with a copousness
 which denied that the tired business man
 begins to De tired his breakfast table.
 That assumption has been splenddly vim
 dicated. The Times is outstanding refu- tation-there are others in every field of
 American public life-of the cOwardy dogma that the purveyors of public service
 slaves of what the public wants" There is always public for higher and better
 things; and that public be increased in the very act of supplying it with something
 better than what it is commonly supposed to
 want"
 MT. Ochs and his associates have written brilliant chapter in the history of Ameri- and world journalism.

I Weather permitting there should
be a large turnout of baseball bugs
10 witness the many games booked
for today and Sunday in this sec.
ton, almost every team in the
county having game arranged for
the present weekend. This is with.
out u doubt the best list OF games
to be played so fur this season.
This afternoon, the South Side eth.
letics clash with the fast State
Street Independents in what Is ex-
pected to be one of the fastest and
hardest fought games 10 be seen
in this section for some time. This
game will be played on the Millers-
Vile diamond and will start at 4
o'clock. This Is the only game
booked for today.
Two big games are. booked in the
county tomorrow with out OF town
clubs. At Blackstone park, the
Warrington Athletics, who are TAX
ing the place Of the Consumers
team this year, will tackle the
Fears Giants OF Cleveland, Ohio,
the game starting at 3:15. "A spe.
clal car will leave Fairmont at 2
O'Clock to take the fansito the park.
1t should be one OF the best games
Of the early season.
AT Traction park, the fast Con.
solidation Coal team will take on
the Moundsville outfit at $3.50!
These teams are old rivals and
should attract a large crowd. Spe.
cial car service will also be sup.
piled to this ball park.
I On the Watson diamond there Is
a double bill booked. The first
game starting at 1880 will be be-.
tween the fast Watson nine and
strong State Street Independents
and should be a battle royal. The
second game will start Just as soon
as the first one Is over. This. time
the Rivesvllle nine will try theil.
luck against the Watson team.
This double bill should draw a
crowd. p
