BALL PLAYERS TO
 FIGHT CASES OF
 THROWING GAMES
Indicted White Sox Hope to Escape Penalty for Acts
 of 1919.

Chicago, H., Feb. 4.-Trial of the eight members of the pennant-winning White Sox team of 1919 on charges of throwing" the world series to Cincin- nati will hinge largely on the interpre- tation placed on the Illinois conspiracy statute.
 Attorneys for the accused ball play CTS are making their plans to fight the case on the grounds that even if the players did conspire to throw the base ball games 1t could not be considered a criminal offense under the Illinois statute.
 George German, assistant states at torney i'll charge of the prosecution of the White Sox, declared there was no question but that the law covered the case completely.
 The statute provides that it shall be criminal offense for two or more per- sons to conspire to defraud the public or to conspire to damage the property i of another,'" German said.
 ''The public paid money to see the world series games, and they did so be- cause they believed the games were on the square. They were certainly de frauded by the acts of the conSpira- tors"
 The property of Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox ball club, as we'll as all of the other baseball mag 1 mates, was injured by conspiracy, Cor man said.
 The players which Comiskey was [ forced to dismiss were valued at close to $200,O00, German pointed out, while the property of the other magnates was injured through the fact that public confidence in organized baseball was lessened. German said there were still about 100 cases on his calendar ahead of the White SoX case. It may come up in February.

Naugatuck Girl
 Makes 28 Baskets

The Naugatuck High school girls team boasts of young girl, who comes pretty near being the real class of all basketball players in this state at least In a recent game this young lady tossed in 28 goals from the field for total of 56 points and now her friends want to have the publishers of the Basketball Guide publish her name in their hall of fame. This record of 28 field goals is so far as known, the best individual performance ever made by a girl.

SPEED OF PITCHED BALL.

The speed of ball from the pithecr to the catcher was taken by experts handling the Longine chronograph back in 1884, with the following results: Bob Emslie, now Umpire Emslie, hurled a ball that distance i'll two-hfths of a second Jimmy Calvin flashed it across in the same time, and Hardie Tender son is credited with putting one across in one-ffth of a second. Such speed merchants as "Grasshopper Jim" Whit ney and Charley Sweeney would have topped that time. That apparatus would never register the speed of ''Rube" Waddelps or Walter Johnson's fast ones.

Bailey Quits Yale
 Team m q Huff

Sam Bailey, the former Atlas star, has quit the Yale basketball team giv- ing as his reason the fact that he was never allowed to finish the game he started. It is too bad that the coach of the Yale team has not the same idea of Sammies' ability as he has himself, or, maybe, he 1abors under the impression that the other candidates are entitled to a little consideration also. Latest re- ports have it that the team IS doing nicely since Sammy quit.
