to leave for Europe early in May, and
a trip to Pinehurst may prevent him

BASEBALL SCANDAL
TO TAKE NEW TURN
More Sensational Disclosures
Are Promised When Players
Case Is Reopened.

CHICAGO, April 5.-Additional ex-
posures in the baseball scandal which
will mention many names of persons
not brought odt in other develop
nents are expected here today.
The throwing of the 1919 world
series. in which a clique is alleged to
haze won more than 100000, will be
opened up fully with new indictments
OF persons not even mentioned before,
declare lawyers here today.
The statements were made by At
torneys Benedict Short and Michael
Ahearn when they made motion be-
fore Judge Charles A. Mcdonald for
reduction in bail OF the defendants.
Judge Mcdonald reduced the bail for
Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams, Buck
Weaver, Swede Rissberg, Oscar Felsch,
Fred McMullin, and Joe Jackson,
White Sox players, from a maximum
Of $4,000 each to $1,000. but an
nounced he would permit no reduction
in the cases Of the alleged gamblers.
Short and Ahearn refused to go into
details concerning their charges of q
new scandal, but promised that the
full particulars would be made public
when the case is brought to trial
"The players that have been in
dicted," said Ahearn. in pleading for
bail reduction, ARE not the con-
spirators in this case. More than
$500, 900 was won by q set of men who
have not yet been indicted. and we
are prepared to prove this charge and
to prove that our defendants were not
implicated. When the trial comes up
we will reveal a real scandal and
name the men who really are guilty"
1t Is believed that the seven players
whose bail was set at $1,000 each to-
day will surrender within a day or
two. States Attorney Robert f.
Grove today reiterated previous state
ments that the men would be given
just a little more time" before extra
dition proceedings were started.

HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
COLLEGES IN PENN MEET

Pennsylvania's twenty-seventh an
nual relay carnival on April 20 and
80 closed its entries on Friday with a
record breaking list of colleges and
schools. One hundred and eleven col
leges and 300 schools composed the
list. this making a new record for
a frst-class meet. To have 400
athletes entered in a meet Is gem
orally considered as a large entry list,
but to have 400 institutions entered
means that on the two days of the
meet a veritable army Of athletes will
be seen in competition.
In fact DR.. George w. Orton, the
manager Of the meet. has ordered
$500 contestants tickets. Thus the
athletes at the relay carnival will
form a body that would generally be
considered as, a large crowd Of spec
tators to view an athletic meet. The
interesting part of the matter also
lies in the fact that the athletes COM
posing the various teams are the
picked men from the schools and the
colleges. In other words, the athletes
are not only very numerous, but they
are very high class. This applies
especially to the intercollegiate relay
championships, the class races and
the special events, the entries for
which remind one of the standard
necessary for Olympic competition.

DOYLE DISCUSSES GAME.
We dropped in to discuss the mat
ter with John T. Doyle, whose place
on Broadway near Forty-second street
is the rendezvous for all the leading
lights in the green baize game. We
will quote what Doyle has to say.
"BaIk lines were first introduced to
make IL as difficult as possible for
the expert players to make nigh runs
on account of the monotony which
had begun to show itself In the
matches of long ago. At the old
straight rail game IT got so that play
ers like Jake Schaeffer could run 1000
points after winning the bank. His
opponent in this case never left the
chair.
After several conferences of those
Fbest qualified to know. it was decided
to place lines on the table eight
inches from the cushions. This. IL
was thought, would prevent he
! player from nursing to such a me-
notonous extent. The first tourna-
ment OF eight-inch balk line " as hell

were made until we cane to the
eighteen-inch game with only one
shot allowed in balk. The first tour
nament at this style was played here

ty George Slosson in 1897.
WHEN HOPPE WON TITLE

to another until Vigneaux. the French
