Phil' Douglas, noted baseball pitch
cr, late yesterday was ruled out of
organized baseball forever by Judge
X. W. Lands Douglas is charged
with dickering with players ON other
teams to throw games, according to
an announcements made by Lands.
President Heydler Of the National
League and Lands are here today
making an investigation.
Douglas acknowledged his guilt
Lands declared. While in sanitar
ium in New York recently, whore he
was sent by the New York club to
enable him to recover from a period
of excuses, he wrote letter to
fellow, player that had all the ele-
mcuts Of a crooked proposition In
fact Douglas was prepared to desert
the Giants for a money consideration.
The player to whom Douglas sent
the letter is considered to be an in
nOcent party. Douglas debarment
was the result of the unsolicited ac-
ton of Manager McGraw Lands
compIimented McGraw for his firm
stand.
Lands in his announcement declar.
ed Douglas had been placed ON the
permanent ineligible list.
Douglas is one of the star pitch
ers Of the New York Giants and has
been connected with the Gotham team
for some time.

Lands, when called at his hotel,
this afternoon, said Douglas had been
banished from organized baseball be
cause he had made an offer to a
player on competing team to throw
games.
The expulsion Of the great spithall
player comes as the greatest Sensa-
ton since the discovery Of the crook.

Just who Lands had in mind by

not divulged New York is playing
here today and Lands ana lTeydler
quietly slipped into Pittsburgh this
morning.
The Lands bombshell comes right
ON the heels of the story originating
in New York and widely circulated

burGh National League team was to
be allowed to win fifteen games in
a row in order to cop the pennant
this year. Pittsburgh won thirteen in
