~ HTCAGO, December 3l--The

brought another ghost to sit
at the banquet board with
the skeletons of the 1919 base
ball season and pick over the bones
OF scandal.
The new spccter at the table was
ANONYMOUS in the Tribune account,

entity was one of the players banned
from organized base ban after the up
roar over the throwing of games IN
the 1919 world series between Chicago
and Cincinnati.
Il could tell a lot if l thought it
would do any good, this player was
quoted as saying. In fact, I've told
Lands in the past of at least 10 cases
where base ball players were involved
much worse than Cobb or Speaker
have been. Their case is a joke.
He was asked if he could tell any
thing about crooked world series
games.
Mentions the 1917 Series.
Gould Il" the Tribune reported him
as replying. If those fellows are
digging up old scores, why don't
these base ball investigators ask
about that 1917 series?'
What do YOU know about that!

Enough" he was quoted as an

it if it's an open hearing and l am

story?"
Commissioner Lands was 'out" to
reporters last night, so no comment
was forthcoming from him on this de-
velopment in the scandal precipitated
bv Dutch Leonards charges that Ty

testimony which he had dug up in the
Cobb-Speaker case because he anticl-
pated acquiring more evidence than
he had in hand. The players who
were affected were out of the game
as principals and he desired moro
time to await new developments.
The Commissioner practically was
forced into taking the action that ne
did because of the increasing rumor
wave, which had reached such height
at the time of the minor leagues con
ventiOn in Ashevile, ". c., that the
minor league men were walking
around in gum shoes and mentioning
names. This was all very secret in
manner, but it was going on and base
ball writers from minor league cities
were in possession of names and
rumors of some concealed letters
which IL was said would turn base
ball upside down.
Suit Would Develop Facts.
II Dutch" Leonard has more in
formation than he has given to the
base ball commissioner, it may b.
brought out during civil suit for
damages which 1t has been indicated
Cobb and Speaker may bring to clea =
their names. IF Leonard has no add
tional information, that fact would de
velop. If any of the Detroit players
peddled around the gossip about Cobb
during the past year or so. that fact
could be established in the event that
the players were called as witnesses
and in that case the players probably
would be asked by Judge Lands why
they did not come TO him instead Of
scattering rumOrs in d mysterious
manner.
There is nothing organized base ball
would like so much as to have Swede
Risberg or any other ball player who
knows anything about dishonest
games or throwing games go to Com
missioner Lands at once. The commits
sioner, however, wants everything in
black and white and not mere gossip

BY JOHN IL. FOSTER.

~ EW YORK, December ST.
Hints are growing louder in
this sector of organized base
1 ball that an attempt to play
base ball politics was directed
against Commissioner LandiS in the
Cobb-SpeakerLeona scandal. which
has far from sizzled its last sizzle.
There are some insiders" in base
ball who think that all the details in
the case were pre-arranged to put
Judge Lands in a hole, and that he
baked those who sought to make
trouble for him by calling for a show
down when it was unexpected.
If such were the intention on the
part of any one, the base ball com
missioner f1attened it out, because he
was the first to bring the story of al
legged betting before the attention of
the base ball fans.
The theory now is advanced that
the latest insinuations of base ball
scandal attached to the name of
"Swede'' Risberg. former Chicago
White SoX shortstop, who was booted
out of base ball as a result of the 1919
world series scandal. form another
chapter in the political warfare aimed
at Judge Lands.
Risberg Stresses Challenge.
Risberg, in his declaration that he
can name twenty big leaguers who
are crooked" pedals rather hard on
the point that this is a challenge to
the Commissioner. He asserts that
lands and the big bosses of base
ball don't want to know the facts" at
the same time that the Commissioner
is being roundly censured by some
people-including many who have
been noisiest in the past for publicity
in base ball--because he has placed
the results of his investigation in the
| Cobb-Speaker case squarely before the
| public.
1t is apparent that Judge Lands
withheld any decision in regard to the

GRID THRILL PASSING,
SAYS YALE ALUMNUS

By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, December 81.
The thrill of foot ball is rapidly
passing among Yale alumni, in the
opinion of Matthew a. Reynolds, a
member of the City Board of Finance.
In communication to the Yale Alum
nj Weekly Reynolds, who is secretary
of the Yale class of 1894. says of
alumni:
I'VE gradually are adopting the
calm attitude of the Yale captain, who
can take defeat as matter of course,
of the head coach who can non
chalantly spend the second half of the
Maryland game watching the Yale
team slaughtered while he sat in por-
tai 10, behind the goal line, and of
the news editor who endeavors to con-
vince us that the foot ball season
just passed wasn't so bad after all.
Possibly we have all been in error
in taking the game so seriously, but
it must be admitted that the thrill is
passing"

"The preliminary report upon the necessity for harbor of refuge in Re- surrection bay has been approved by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors and have been authorized to submit a report of survey giving an estimate of cost of improvement recommended" writes Colonel J. G Steese, district engineer and presi- dent of the Alaska Road Commission l in a letter recently received by the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Continuing Colonel Steese said that the report must likewise go through the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors but will be before the House Committee when they consider the next River and Harbor bill during the next Congress.
 Colonel Steese impresses upon the local Chamber not to confuse this with the River and Harbor bill which was passed by the House late in the last session and will pass the Senate next January or February. The bill now on the Senate calendar is made up of items accommodating for several years back and does not include re- ports of surveys authorized in the re- cent Act which authorized the ex- animation of Seward.
 There is nothing the City of Seward can do in the matter at this time, he advises. His forthcoming report will not be before the Congressional com mittee till after it has passed the Board of Engineers.
