WILL QUIZ PELICANS
ON DIXIE "SCANDAL"
BY the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 20
The scene of the investigation into the
Southern Association base ball scandal

John d. Martin, president OF the asso-
citation. goes to the Arkansas capital,
where he will question Larry Gilbert s
New Orleans players. Yesterday Mar
tin completed his investigation here,
questioning Manager Jimmie Hamil-

President Martin carried with him
a portion of the volume of evidence in
transcript form, and will obtain the
rest by Friday, when he intends to
review the evidence thoroughly and
prepare his recommendations to be
placed before Kenesaw Mountain
Landis in Chicago Saturday.
Discussing the matter of jurisdic-
ton, the Southern League president
declared emphatically that he intended
to act sternly in the rumored scandal
so far as his circuit was concerned.
while 1t was within Judge Landis' au-
thority to displace any player in pro-
fessionalism found guilty of unbecom.

Scheduled to arrive in Arkansas in
the afternoon, he had notified Manager
Gilbert to have his team in readiness
after the game for the official quiz.

FitZsimmOns Factor.
This Young Fitzsimmons, who was
taken from Indianapolis, started out
by winning his first game for the

he loses use of his arm, for he has
been knocked around a lot, and there
isn't anything that can give him cold

After getting ahead of New York, the

The Pittsburgh infeld and outfield
have an edge on New York, at least
theoretically, that should have gained
at least two contests in the last fort
