VANCE ONCE
SOLD FOR
so DOLLARS

BY NEA Service
New York, Oct. 24.-Manager John
McGraw of the New York Giants
says he would willingly part with
100000 for Dazzy Vance.
Charley Ebbetts, owner of the
Brooklyn club, says twice that
amount wou dn't tempt him for his
star pitcher, the sensation of the ma
jors in the season just closed.
These seemingly fabulous amounts
being offered for Il ball player makes
the original sale of the now famous
Vance loom up as the one best laugh
of the day.
Ten years ago Vance was playing
with the Superior club in the Ne
biaska State League. He was just a
$3.50 pitcher.
At that time Hastings, the home
of Vance, was in the same league
He decided it would be nicer to play
in the old home town. When he
asked the manager of the Hastings
club what he was worth the reply
was:
"If some one offered me $50 in
real money they could have YOU
Vance peeled five tens from his
bank roll and joined the Hastings
club.
Originally sold for $50, his pres.
| ent employer isn't interested in al
offer of 100000 for his services.

III the game rs a national institution
was atested by the attendance and
enthusiasm at the recent world
series.
Incidentally the fans at the SER
les, while showing they were as
strong as ever for the game, made
i. apparent that they did not ap-
prove of dishonesty.
The New York Giants, unfortu-
rately under cloud of suspicion as
a team, were received coldly. The
fans had thumbs down on them for
the time being.
Baseball is far too big to have a
few dishonest performers wreck the
game. True, such acts do not help
il but they are certain to break out
at stated intervals. 1t is too much
to believe that all people are honest,
even though it is nice thought.

What is the meaning Of the term
cutback?
Cutbnck has reference to the course
of the man with the ball making a
run who suddenly changes his direc-
ton and "cuts back" instead of con-
tinuing in the direction he started.
If this happened in the open field
and the runner continued in the
changed direction it would be call
ed reversing the field
Explain Illegal interference?
Illegal interference is where Of
fensive players, other than the ball
carrier, use their hands or arms eX-
cept close to their bodies or attempt
TO block opponents by throwing their
feet high in the air. Pulling and

D0LAN PLANS
HARD FIGHT
Takes Another Step to Clear
Himself in Baseball Case

New York. Oct. 24.-"Cozy" Dolan
took another step in his fight to
clear himself of charges that he was
implicated with Jimmy O'Connell in
the attempt to bride Heinie Sand
Philadelphia shortstop.
In the office of his counsel, w. j
'Fallon, who intends to bring suit
against Commissioner Lands and
organized baseball, Dolan reenacted
the scene Of the examination by Lam
dis and related his version of the
conversation which took place at the
hearing which resulted in his ban
ishment
The former Giant coach reiterated
his denial of any knowledge of the
alleged bribery deal and reasserted
his innocence of any wrongdoing
Dolan also disclosed that bis final
in blows when he became involved
in a heated verbal exchange with the
commissioner.
Lands Gets Rough
"Landis rushed across the room
pointed finger ut me and eXclaim
led, 'Dolan, you are guilty." The
former coach declared in recountinl
the details Of what took place during
the commissioners closing exchange
II am not guilty; | don't remem
her anything about it," Dolan sait
he replied. Eve stood facing eaci
other and Lands apparently inter
preted my attitude as threatening
him and he said:
If you came here looking for ;
fight, get OUT
After Dolan had been questioned
for an hour by a score of newspaper
men, Fallon declared he would pres!
his legal efforts to clear Dolan, re
store him to good standing in base
ball and obtain for him his share
of the Worlds series money. HI
said he expected to file paper
within three or four days.

BOB MARTIN
RECOVERED.
SEEKS BOUT
By NEA Service

BY NEA Service
New York.. Oct. 24-Bob Martin
wants to come back. Martin is the
young Virginia youth who won the
heavyweight championship of the A.
F.. F., turned professional, and en-
joyed fair success mingling with sec
ond raters.
Martin sustained a slight concus-
sion of the brain about lS months
ago, and was finally forced to retire
from the ring. At first Martin sus-
pected the trouble centered in his
eyes but when Treatments designed
to better his vision failed the soldier
fighter submitted to IL thorough ex-
animation. 1t was then revealed
that he had been injured about the
head by some heavy blow received
in the ring.
Martin retired following pathetic
exhibition against Martin Burke in
New Orleans, the aftermath Of which
was an official ruling by Louisiana
ring commissioners barring him from
future participation in the ring.
Martin went back to his home in
Virginia, joined the state police as a
! mounted officer and started out to
regain his health by activity in the
open air.
Martin now is Of the opinion that
he is his old self again and has writ
ten Jimmy Bronson, his former mar
ager, to get him fight here. Bron-
son is hoping Martin is til right
again but will not match him with
any one until positively assured by
| physicians that the A. f. F. hero is
+! fully recovered.
| Martins most noteworthy perform
ance in the ring was against the late
Bill Brennan. Martin did not get the
decision but experts were unanimous
! he deserved it.

Billy Evans Says

Just at present. we are being told
how baseball is going to the bow
vows because of the O'Connell-Do-
liam episode at New York.
Baseball, like every other enter
prise whether it be amusement or
business, will always have certain
dishonest persons connected with It,.
When some bank cashier absconds
and breaks the company, people do
no lose faith in the bank as an in
stitution.
Because one or more bank cash
iers go wrong doesn't make all
IS, cashiers crooked. So. regardless OF
how many banks fail, we regard 1T
,as the safest place to put our
;money provided we have any to put.
Big corporations every now and
then have their scandals when some
Lig official is found dishonest.
There have been cases where the
deacon in the church has turned off
Into the crooked path.
O'Connell and Dolan are just two
of the 500 active participants IN
major league baseball. Because they
have been accused of dishonest
dealing and declared ineligible does
mot make the entire fabric Of the
game crooked.
Back in 1919. seven members OF
the Chicago White Sox made certain
mistakes, .strayed from the straight
path.
These seven players were barred
forever from baseball. The actions
OF these players, however, in no
way affected such sterling charac-
tiers as Ray Schalk, Eddie Collins,
Urban Faber and the other MEM
bers Of the Sox at that time.
Because a certain few players
every now and then through ignor-
ance, do something dishonest, lit IN
no way reflects on the many other
fine characters connected with the
game.
Dishonesty is hard to explain.
However, it is a fact that certain
people get more satisfaction over
Pulling some Shady transaction tnan
accomplishing it through honest e.
fort.
Baseball is big business invoiv-
ing hundreds Of men. Just so long
MS there are~ dishonest people in
the world it is possible they may
become affiliated in some way with
baseball. That being the case, thee
is always a chance for dishonesty.
Possibly. it is an insult to the
thinking American to ask him to
believe that O'Connell and Dolan
& conceived the plot to save the
y Giants.
That is a matter to be determined
4 In all probability there will be more
