BUCK WEAVER ASKS
FOR REINSTATEMENT
Player Involved in Baseball
Scandal Makes Personal
Appeal to Landis.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-An echo OF the
1919 baseball scandal was heard to-day
when 1t became known that George
(Buck) Weaver, former White Sox third
baseman. personally had appealed to
Judge Landis for reinstatement In or
ganizd baseball.
Weaver appeared before Judge IIandis
last week. but since his appeal was per-
sonal and not formal nothing was known
of 1t publicly. In his plea the third
baseman reiterated his innocence and
told story which for many months has
heen known to only few friends.
Weaver, 1t Is said. declared that he
was approached by a White Sox player
near the end of the 1919 season and
asked IL he would join in plan to throw
games in the world series that fall. IT
was explained that several other players
had agreed deliberately to lose contests
and make the series a made to order
one so far as the gamblers were con-
oerned. Weaver was offered $4,000 as
his share. He had just opened a drug
store and needed capital, he Is under
stood to have told Judge lands.
The third baseman told Judge Lands
that Wlllie ne neeueu tne slO,0OO padly,
IN view Of his new business enterprises
it never entered his head TO accept IT,
"The only doubt in my mind" he is
said to have informed the baseball COM
missioner, was whether should keep

had received propositions or whether
they accepted. ! couldn't bring myself
to tell on them even had Il known for

Weaver explained that he had hesi-
tated to make known his story. even
confidentially, for fear some might think
he was trying to pass the buck" to his
teammates

Grand Jury confessions as having been
Ia on the alleged game throwing deal.
They were tried on charges OF conspiracy
TO defraud the public and found not
guilty. Whether games were thrown
was not brought into the trial as there
was no law covering such thing.
While Judge Landis refused to discuss
the Weaver case, attention was called to
a statement at the time of the baseball
trial in which the Judge pointed out that
birds of feather flock together" and
that men who associated with gamblers
and crooks could expect no lenicncy at
his hands.

YALE MEN TO PLAY
FOR SQUASH HONORS
Coward and Cordier Win Way
to Final in National IIandi-
cap Tournament.

Yale Club players displayed their
superiority when Thomas Coward and
Auguste ]. Cordier won their places n
the final round of the national squash
tennis handicap tournament ON the
courts of the Yale Club yesterday. Both
OF the semi-fnal round battles finished
in straight games. Coward. weighted
with burden OF minus 10 aces, de-
feated p NJ. Morrison. one OF the best
of the Harvard Club stars, playing
from scratch. The tally was Id,
15-l1, 1910.
Cordier afforded glimpses OF the won
derfu form that gained the national
championship title for him in his en-
counter with d. L. Baker. The Yale
Club player had the mark of minus
s aces, while Baker was at plus aces.
Even this wide difference made little
difference. Cordier won at l5--f0.
It~-9. 1S--15. 1
Coward refuted the argument tat
his game is chiefly thing of terrific
speed. In the first game that boom
ing, walloping stroke that is his indi-
vidual characteristic was much in evil
dence. As the tally stood Coward hao
ibdpS w MS llduulCdp VI " aces DeIOTc
Morrison scored.
In the second game Coward began TO
mix his pace. JHe slowed up noticeably.
although Morrison rarely got fair
stroke at the ball. as his rival kept 1t
doubling on corners or dying away on
the back wall for an ace. Coward rs-
peatedly mastered his opponent on posi-
tton in the second and third games His
method was excellent and proved reve-
latfon to those who had hitherto been
inclined to regard him as thunder
and lightning player.
Cordier's victory held one outstand-
ing feature. He won by generaiship
that was distinctly superior to anything
that Baker could show. The former
national champion was always well
within himself. On occasions when
pressed he executed O. brilliant series
of strokes. On the whole Baker played
above his usual form. His game lacked
the finish, however and it was chiefly
his lapse into streaks OF faulty returns,
especially untimely shots into the tell
tale. that spelled defeat for HIM. Coward
and Cordier meet in the final of the
squash tennis classic this afternoon

When we queried Charley Ebbets at
that time as TO the chances OF a trade
for Gonzales he replied with vehemence /:

the waiver price He is not the type
OF catcher we are after" We thought
that Ebbets did not exactly mean that,
but now we find that along with four

Gonzales is no George Gibson when

AUTOMOBILE SHOW

Was Largest and Most Success
full Ever Held, Exhibi-
tors Agree.

The twenty-second annual Automobile
Show, which has been attracting thou
sands daily at Grand Central Palace,
closes Tonight. According to automo-
bile manufacturers. engineers and sales
men, 1t has been the most successful
SHOW ever held.
5. A. Miles, the show manager, In
agreeing with the individual exhibitors
that the present show beat all records,
lad this to say about the men who
started the show idea:
Because Of the confidence and forti-
tude OF the pioneers, because of their
hrm belief in the motor car and its fu-
ture, the first shows were held Some
OF these men risked their last dollar in
exhibiting their automobiles so that the
public would have an opportunity TO un-
uerstand and appreciate them.
Now that same public rides swiftly
shd IN wonderful. comfortable vehicles.
had II not been for the annual exposi-
lions at which ideas were exchanged and
new inventions and information called
to the attention Of all motor car manu-
facturers the industry would be far be-
hind what it is to-day"
we have never had more SUCCESS

dent OF the Cleveland Automobile Com
pany, speaking particularly of his own
exhibit, the new Cleveland skies. 'sThe
attendance at the booth could not have
peen better all week long. The interest
displayed was sincere, too. as was shown
by the detailed questions which were
asked. A surprisingly large number of
local sales were made, especially On the
sedan. The success of the show has
filled our whole organization with
greater enthusiasm and we look for n
banner year"
This statement was typical of tbe
thoughts of most of the exhibitors. All
We're enthusiastic, not only about the
number of future sales they could see
through the questions of prospects but
IN the number of sales actually clinched
at the Palace. Closed cars were in GREAT
demand.

most stressed matters at the show. III. III

tomobile Company. in addressing a con-
ference Of Franklin dealers of the East

than In a lower price.
THE interest is not in a lower price.

their purchase is on sound footing" he
said. Automobile prices are consider
