program.

the opinion that Bube Benton, former
New York and Cincinnati pitcher.
now with st. Paul. is an undesirable
player. John A. Hedyler. president
of the National League, today tndi-
Gated that Benton would not be per-
mitted to re-enter the league with
sthe Cincinnati club.

Cincinnati club with the st. Paul
club of the American association has
not been closed President Heydler
said, land / feel confident that It, will
not be consummated IL the Cincin-
natl club is advised that the majority
of the league clubs do not favor
Benten's return from the National
league"
President Heydier added that the
National league reserved the right
to decide what players were con-
veal details OF the basis for opposi-
ton to Benton's return.
General belief prevailed. however,
that objections were based on the
pitchers alleged disregard of train
ing rules when in the National league
before, connection of his name with
the 1919 world series scandal and
charges which he failed to substan-
tate, that while with the Giants in
1919 he was offered bride by Buck
Herzog to throw" a game at the
Polo grounds.
