that brought about base balls most
astounding scandal. SURPRISING even

for the American Eeague, revealed
that he had purchased the evidence
of betting and game fhrowing against
Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker last June,
when he settled the claim which Dutch
Leonard, the one-time Tiger pitcher.
held against the Detroit club.

the letters which clouded the names
OF Speaker and Cobb but declined to
name the sum paid leonard for sell

reported to have been $4,000. Kill

ished and that neither Cobb nor
Speaker would ever return to the
American League in any capa city.
This thing OF betting on ball games
was a common practice previous to
the world series of 191S," Johnson
said. "Now we have got most of that
type Of players out of the major
league, and we will not tolerate any
wagering again If we know about it.

this regard"
