Let Black SOx
Be a Lesson
BY DEAN SNYDER

Regardless Of the fact that the
Black sox were acquitted by jury,
those who confessed to throwing
games are guilty in the eyes Of the
court Of public opinion.
They have already been punished
more than II they had been inn
prisoned. They are now only pariahs
among their own kind and they have
deprived themselves OF a lucrative
and very pleasant means OF earning
livelihood
Up 20 now baseball has been CON
sidered a clean sport
No laws have been passed. max
ing Il a penalty to play Il dishon-
estly.
But they should be.
The only way baseball and other
sports, such as wrestling and box
ing. can be kept on a high moral
plane is 20 have laws regulating
them.
The history OF the Black Sox N
now a closed chapter IN the book In
baseball.
Let their example suffice to keep
the game purged.
