FATE OF COBB
AND SPEAKER
STILL UNKNOWN
Landis Makes No Ruling
On Stars Accused by
Dutch Leonard.
By CLARK 3. KELSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Tbe fate of
Tv Cobb and iris Speaker, perhaps
the greatest of baseball IS idols. still
remains in doubt despite The decis-
ion of Commissioner Kenesaw M.
Lands affecting the White SoxDe-
troit scandal of 1917.
Lands disappointed many base
ball followers when he exonerated
the players accused by Chick Gandil
and Swede Risberg of throwing'
games in 1917 and again i'll 1919 but
failed to make mention of Cobb and
Speaker or the charges brought
against them by Hubert Dutch -
Leonard. 1t had been hoped that
Cobb and Speaker also would get a
nice, fresh coat of whitewash.
When il was noticed that Lands
had cvadcd mention of Cobb and
Speaker, he was asked particularly
on that point but refused to make
reply.
All that remains, however, is the
testimony Lands made public sew
eral weeks ago. his declaration that
no action would be taken Gin view
of the fact that all the accused are
already out of bascball,' and the
statement of Ban johnson. Amcri
can league president. that Cobb and
Speaker had been dropped from base
ball.

The New York promoter who was
reputed to have signed Tunney to

of recent developments Dempsey
and Delaney are the biggest cards
of the contcnders.
1t was taken almost for granted
that Dempsey had a working agree
mcnt with Rickard, if he was not
actually under contract to give his
services only to him.
Dempsey, in his message to the
writer, insisted that he was not un-
der any moral or legal obligations

accept the best terms if he felt that
he was in condition to fight. He
said that he would not make any

Never Play Again
"'Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb never

American league club. They were
given positions of trust and they
failed to keep that trust. No mat
ter what Lands rules, the American
league won't have them.
Reports have reached here that
Cobb was planning to visit Lands
again in the company of his own

ment, but to these reports Lands
merely says
"I have no appointment with Mr..
Cobb or his attorney.'
Shortly after generating the
White Sox and Detroit players of the
charge Gandil and Risberg made
against them, Lands issued another
statement suggesting a number OF
rules intended to prevent similar
scandals in the future.
He proposed that all such charges
as those of Gandil and Risberg must
be made within three years of the
time of the alleged misconduct or
else given no hearing and he rec
commended rules providing for the in
eligibility of players found guilty
of betting on gamcs-temporary in
eligibility if they bet on games in
which they themselves do not play
and permanent ineligibility if they
bet on games in which they partic-
ipate. Landis also would bar the
practice of "gifts'' by the players
of one club to the players of another
