NEW YORK, Aug. l0.-Q. n. So
Little Willie denied that he burglariz-
ed the pantry and stole the jam. But
the jam was on his hands and face in
plain sight.
The Black White Sox are in the
same boat with Willie. so to speak.
They knew what was going on between
certain of their number and a lot of
crooked gamblers of their emissaries.
Yet they deny their gu:,,,.
After fashion the erring Sox play
ers have been whitewashed by CHI
oago jury. But now that they have ac-
quitais in their pockets what good
are they?
Organized Baseball is through with
them forever, The great baseball pub
lie is heartily behind. Judge Lands in

from ever again donning uniforms
within professional ranks. They had it
coming, and they got it, Most of them
realized this before Commissioner Lam
dis even expressed an opinion on the
subject Buck Weaver alone eX-
pressed hope of returning to the game.
No matter what part Weaver took
or dsd not take in the fixing of the
1919 worlds series the fact remains
that he knew about it Fandom can
not forget or forgive Weaver for keep
ing his mouth shut. In the eyes of the
baseball public there is jam" on his
hands, the same as on the hands OF
the others
The erring Black Sox-for they are
still black to the average fan-were

did. in the estimation of big ma
