Scandal, Lands Says
BY international News Service

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-''The good
name of baseball was at stake" And
so Kenesaw M. Lands, high com,
missioner, was willing to light and
toss the bomb which has rocked the
game with its third great scandal
and blotted the escutcheons of four
Of its one-tinae famous players, two
OF them among the greatest figures
that ever pranced upon diamond,
For that same reason he would
not let the seven years that have
elapsed since the incidents con-
cerned occurred stay his heavy hana,
The name and fame OF Tyrus Ray
nond Cobb and Tristan Speaker
were not great enough to save them
when he thought that the good of
the game demanded pitiless pub
Lefty for them because the finger
Of suspicion had pointed toward
them.
Demands Clean Game
In the eyes Of Kenesaw N. Lands
anything is justiksed that win keep
the name OF baseball clean.
"By George, that was the hardest
job ever faced" he said, referring
to. the hundred pages Of typewriter
testimony which he made public late
Yesterday. ''but the good name Of
baseball was at stake and / thought
l owed 1t to the public to give IT the
facts"
Those few words constitute the
sole break in the sphinx.iike silence
in which he withdrew himself after
clothing with facts the skeleton Of
rur1ors that have been tossed
around in virtually all baseball
circles since Cobb and Speaker sud
denly resigned their managershtps
AT Detroit and Cleveland this fall on
excuses that, il they were not lame,
at least limped.
Those excuses--that Cobb was
tired OF the game in which he
shone for q score Of years. and
that Speakers legs had gone back
on hirn-are now shown just that
excuses.
1t is shown that their designations
were turned in just when the in.
vestigation which eliminated in the
present expose was at its height.

bshe might be, or why she should re.
main away.
Police point out that this state
menk, based on unsubstantiated
opinion, has not assisted them In
any way.
Police are now definitely Of the
belief that Mrs. Houck left her
home between 10 o'clock Tuesday
night, December Il, and 10 o'clock
the following morning.
DIR. j. M. Cunningham, of st.
EIfzabeth's Hospital staff, a fellow
worker of DOc&or Houck, left the
Houck apartment at that hour.
Other members Of the hospital staff
visited the home at 10 o'clock the
following morning.
What occurred during the inter
vening IL hours is a mystery,
pierced by no light except the state
ments Of Doctor Houck, himself.
And these statements, police are
afraid to credit fully.
DIR. Houck says that when DR..
Cunningham left. he quarrelled with
Mrs. Houck. She prepared for bed.
and the quarrel continued. They
fought. and he tore off her night
dress. Later, he says. he took a
sleeping powder and went to sleep.
The next morning he says he heard
his wife talking to their little boy,
but did not see her. He heard her
leave the apartment. She is not
known to have been seen since.
1t was later that day, DR.. Houck
says, that he drew his pay from st.
EIizabeth's Hospital and took q
train for Canada. He was arrested
two days later in Hornell, n. X,
fighting on the streets and clad
only in his underwear.
Monday he was brought back to
Washington by DR.. John Damgaard,
a fellow physician of st. Elizabeth's
Hospital. and was placed in Gal

nv Cobb Fired Leonard

Apparently, it would never have
come out II last year. Cobb. hav.
ing procured Leonard's reinstate-
ment and signed him for Detroit,
had not fired him toward the end
of the last season and waived him
out Of the big leagues.
Ranking under what his testi-
mny says he believed injustice, be-
cause he was compelled to pitch
out Of turn and without proper
rest, Leonard sought to force an
adjustment Of money difficulties
with the Detroit club by producing
two letters.
One was a letter from Cobb to
him in which yelled references to
business transactions" and sums Of
money referred to bet upon that
long since played observation-disclosures
game, Leonard said.
The other was letter from Wood
to Leonard in which no ambiguity
was attempted, and a frank dis
cussion of what money had been
wagered and that won by the two
of them was penned.
The Detroit club, Lands says,
then informed the executive com
mittee Of the American League
what Leonard was charging. Soon
the letters were In possession OF the
league. Leonard is said to have re-
ceived $4,000 for them, on Septem.
