HERMANN WOULD
 GIVE BENTON MEDAL
Reds Owner Says Pitcher Should
 Be Praised for Honesty

Cincinnati, Doc. 2S,---August Herr, mann, president of the Cincinnati Ma. tlonal league baseball club. in state. ment praised the honesty of Pitchc, Rube Benton, obtained from the St Paul American association champions and said that the club would stand by Benton. Benton should have gold medal instead of being attacked by Ban Johnson" Mir. Hermann declared in the statement. If ball player whc refuses bribe, declines to throw a ball game and insists on going straight Is to he criticized by the president of major league, what is baseball com ing to?"
 Continuing Hermann said
 The sudden and involuntary re- tirement of two players from the game and the ultimate vanishing of another player were due to an at- tempt to make a crook out of Rube Benton, according to evidence set forth in the presence of various ma for league leaders. One day in 1919 Benton was told by John McGraw himself, to hold himself in readiness to pitch the next days game against the Cubs. That night, according to the evidence, three other men took Benton to saloon. One man offered Benton $500 to throw the next days game, the others added $100 each, and q handbook gambler, present in the saloon, added $1O0 more-$SOo in all. Next day Benton pitched superb ly and won that game. Then he told his story. The retirement of the sus- oected players followed quickly. The Cincinnati club stands by Benton and by Judge Landis's endorsement Of Bcnton's honesty"
 Benton said he wagered and won S20 on the world series of 1919 and : hat the bet has not been paid.
 T won exactly $so on that series md have not yet collected the twen- ty," Benton said After the first game I ran into a Chicago fan who was confident that the White Sox would come through, and we bet $20 has not yet been paid. made the bet after seeing what hap pened in the first game.
 ''I met Judge Landis in Louisville. He assured me that my record was all right, that was eligible, and told me to go right ahead"
