Says Landis Probe Should Con-
 tinue.
 Pittsburgh. Oct. 2.-Calling off of the world series would mot be too far to get the right results" of base balls latest scandal, it was declared today by Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who issued a statement declaring Jimmy O'Con- nell and Coach Cosey Dolan of the New York Giants accused of offer ing a bribe to have a game with Philadelphia thrown last Saturday were "only the goats"
 Dreyfuss. whose team for a time threatened to win the pennant of the the National league, declared that Dolan last year approached Pie Tray nor, stellar third baseman of the Pirates, and, he was informed lad vised Traynor to hold me up for s15,000 salary for 1924"

 Dreyfuss said he made charges against Dolan before Commissioner Landis after the worlds series in New York, last fall. "Traynor re- peated his story and there was clear evidence of tampering," said Drey- fuss statement which declared that John McGraw, Manager of the Giants. and Dolan were warned at the time to keep away from other clubs"
 Suspected McGraw.
 Dreyfuss said when he learned of Traynor being approached The sus- pected that Manager McGraw had put Dolan up to the trick, his object probably being to get Traynor dis satisfied and make trouble on our club or force us to trade the third baseman." At the hearing befnra Commissioner Landis, the statement said, Dolan said he had merely told Pie he ought to get more money in 1924 and denied anyone had prompt ed him."
 Wants Rigid Probe
 Referring to the scope of the pres- ent investigation, Dreyfuss declared the full duty of Commissioner Landis would not be done until he had probed the case much further.
 "I think 1t is only the beginning" said the statement, "and that we have merely been given the first chapter of what is likely to prove a long story. It is my opinion that OConnell and Dolan are only the goats and that the guilt goes much further.
 Hints at Conspiracy
 It Is an insult to the intelligence of the public to ask people to be- lieve that two rather obscure mem- bers of a championship club, like O'Connell and Dolan, would go and offer to pay somebody $500, solely of their own money to have something crooked done that wuld benefit many ther persons besides themselves.
 It is safe to say that the two named would never consent to stand all the expense. Others were to profit and I feel sure that if the in- vestigation is carried far enough others will be found guilty.
 Must Continue Probe
 Commissioner Landis should go a great deal further with his probe, The case must not be dropped here, for I am convinced in my own mind that there are other guilty parties in the background and that if the case is pushed far enough there will be developments that will warrant other expulsions.
 The matter should not be allowed to drop with the punishment of a couple of goats. Baseball can not stand for anything like this. Even if it Is necessary 10 abolish the worlds series the good name of the sport must be protected. Calling off of the world series would not be too far to go to get the right results
