Bet on Cincy

CHICAGO, Dec. 29-Pitcher Rube
Benton, recently purchased by the
Cincinnati Nationals from st. Paul,
will be barred from baseball if in
vestigation reveals he was involved in
the crooked worlds series of 1919,
Commissioner Lands announced to-
night. Mr.. lands is investigating re-
ports that Benton won a large sum
of money betting on tip that Gin
cinnati would win the series.
Benton. who called on the commits
sioner yesterday to inquire into his
status, was told there was nothing in
the commissioners records at this
time to prevent him from playing or
ganized ball.
The commissioner, however, had
started investigating reports that
Benton had knowledge of the fixing"
of the 1919 world series, and when in
formed tonight that President Heydler
Of the National league had taken steps
TO bar Benton as an undesirable, the
commissioner said he would continue
his inquiry ard probably would have
a report before the season opens.

.EM|R OVER JORDAN
IN POLITICAL MESS
Submission to Invading Sui
tan StirS TribeSmen to
Demand Reforms.

JERUSALEM, June %. - The po-
litical situation in Transjordania il
regarded by observers here as rapid
ly moving from bad to worse. and,
unless the British government inter
venes in time to give the country
stable government, it is felt that 4
condition of anarchy may well de-
velop.
Abdullah, Emir of Transjordania.
menaced by the invasion of Ibn Saoud.
Sultan of NeJd, a the head of 10000
well armed Wahabi tribesmcn. stll
holds the reins of power, but ne seems
to have committed an objectionable
sin, in the eyes of the leaders of the
tribes dwelling within his territory,
for having humbled himself to Ibn
Saoud by suing for peace.
A delegation from majority Of the
tribes of ansjordania recently wait
ed upon Emir Abdullah, demonstrated
with him on his course, and submitted
the following demands:
/. The immediate dismissal of ali
political advisers in the administra-
ton on the ground that these advisers
are paid agents of foreign govern
ments. and are working only in the
interests of foreigners.
2. The immediate couvocation Of a
legislative council, with powers TO go
into the details of governmental al
fairs.
3. The immediate publication of the
financial condition of the country.
Replying to the delegation. the emir
said: Regarding political advisers,
am aware of everything that is hap
pening in Transjordania. and l am
working for the best interests OF my
people. AS regards legislative
council, l do not want my hands tied
as the Syrians tied the hands of my
brother Feisul, later on eXpelling him
from Damascus. AS to the financial
situation, l do not see your object in
demanding this information"
1t is rumored that Emir Abdullah
fearing the consequences of the visit
of the delegation. has requested mill
tary aid from the acting high COM
missioner for Palestine, in the event
of revolt on the part of some of the
tribesmen.
