 Judge Landls; When did you first hear about this matter?
 MT. Young: Just now, when you called me In.
 Judge Lands: This is the first you ever heard of any such thing?

 MT. OConnell: told him what Dolan told me.
 Judge Landis: Did he ask you what Dolan said to you or did you Just tell him?
 Mir. O'Connell: I just told him. l told him Dolan wanted me to talk to Sands and offer him $500 not to bear down on us. MT. Frisch: I think he must have been Kidding"
 Judge Landis: O'Connell, what do you say Frisch said to you after you | told him what Dolan said to you? MT. O'Connell: Give him anything he wants.
 Mir. Frisch' never said that. That Is news to me. Lot of "Kidding." Frisch then said he had no idea why O'Connell would say that, that he never had had any trouble with O'Connell, and aso that he never had heard anything against Sands.
 "On a pennant contender" Frisch said, you always hear lot of stuff like that, lot of kidding and some other things. That is all I ever heard"
 Judge Landis: Have you any idea why these men,if this thing happen ed as you say it did, should deny 1t this way? There cannot be any mis- take about It as you have told it to me?
 MT. O'Connell: No, sir.
 Sands substantiated O'Connelps story of the $500 offer. He said he told Horace Ford, Philadelphia in- fielder, between innings, about the $500 offer from O'Connell, which has Knocked him silly"
 "I said, what shall I do, and Ford said, use your own judgment After the game I did not tell Fletcher (the Philadelphia manager) about it." Sands told Commissioner Lan- dis.
 Tate that night I went down and got Fletcher out of bed and told him." Sands added. Kelly Also Denies George L. Kelly. Giants first base man, under questioning, also denied having any conNersaIloh Wlth U CoL- nell as the latter had said. O'Connell, on October 6, after hav- ing received notice that he had been placed on the ineligible list of play CTS, went to see Commissioner Landis.
 Want to know about that new statement you gave to the papers about what I said," O'Connell said You made a liar out of me. Because you haven't believed my story about Frisch, Kelly and Young"
 "These three men explicitly deny your story" Commissioner Landis said. The strongest thing in the situation against anybody, except yourself, was Dolans own attitude So I did not put Dolan out solely because I believed your testimony
