afternoon on the Plaza playground at

when the two schoolboy teams played
a scoreless tie
SO we'll matched We're the teams
that they We're not only unable to
score in the regulation time but
played four extra five-minute periods
with neither outfit able to boot a goal
Peabody won the first of the
scheduled three games last Friday
and Park View evened the count in
a game Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterdays game found both teams
displaying clever defensive work.
Both teams made strong bids to
score in the last five-minute period, a
40-yard kick by Bianco for Peabody
barely missing through the alertness
of Hurley. Evans averted a Park
View goal in the closing moments of
the game.

Cobbs and Speakers attorneys nave
been talking about will materlall2e'
The Tribune said It had learned
that the American Leagues invest-
cation of the conduct of the two Tor
mer managers began two years ago
and has not been published.
Speaker and Cobb, who left their
managerial berths at the close OF
last season, were charged by Hubert
Dutch" Leonard. former Detroit
pitcher, with having knowledge OF
a framed" game between the De-
troit Tigers and Cleveland Indians
in September of 1919. Both denied
the charges before lands and later
retained attorneys to attempt re-
opening of the case. Lands has de-
clined to discuss the matter beyond
saying he has no appointment with
attorneys.
1t was the Speaker-Cobb affair
which led to the investigation OF the
1917 charges. President Ban john
son of the American League main
tanned yesterday that the same case
was tried by Commissioner Lands
six years ago, when he was first
indicted into office. The same
players appeared. he said, and were

ineffective against Walter because
they were afraid to take a chance,
and stand boldly up to the plate.
Among those who were not afraid
OF Johnson nor any other pitcher was
Jack Barry. OF course, jack used
due caution, but he was up there to
take his cut, and he did. One day
in Washington Bender coached at
first all afternoon. Ainsmith was
catching and it was Internally hot
About the fifth inning Ainsmith hit a
home run and when he returned to
the bench he was so nearly melted
that he went into the clubhouse and
took off his long-sleeved flannel I'M
dershirt
A close observer like the "Chief"
couldn't avoid looking at Ainsmith's
muscular arms that seldom had been
displayed before. Bender quickly no.
ticed that on some signals he could
see the muscles in Ainsmiths arm,
while with other signals the muscles
were relaxed. He decided that when
the muscles Of the arms moved Wal
ter was to throw curve and the
rest Of the time the fast one. After
one inning he knew he was right so
began to tip us of, and we had a
little better luck. Ainsmith. noticing
the change, but not guessing why,
decided to switch the signal just as
Barry went to bat. On the third
pitch Bender gave Barry the tip and
Jack stepped in to take a cut at the
curve which he liked. The ball was
not only fast, but high, and it hit
the side of the peak of Barrys cap
and turned that piece of headgear Just
half way. around. He got his base
for being hit with pitched ball.
Jacks face was as white as milk,
partly with anger, as he went to
first, When he reached there he
spoke a piece to Bender. which the
Chief still recalls as a grim smile
spreads over his face.

CHICAGO, January 13,-Four addi-
tions to base balls written code, three
dealing with betting, and another
establishing a rule of limitation cover
ing alleged base ball offenses, have
been suggested by Commissioner h.
NJ. Lands, incident to his eXonerauon
of 20 base ball players accused OF
crookedness in games played 10 years
ago.
The commissioner, in offering them,
expressed the hope they would be
adopted by representatives of major
and minor leagues who meet next
Monday at French Lick Springs, Ind.
Three of the proposed rules would
provide specific punishment for
wagering on games or contributing
to or accepting a bride or reward in
connection with any league game. Ii
was the collection of an $3.50 pool by
members of the White Sox team of
1917 and its payment to Detroit Tigers
that brought about the inquiry which
was closed yesterday by the Lands
announcement.
Ineligibility Is PROVIDED
One of the three rules suggested
would provide a years ineligibility for
any player or cluD management
offering or giving any gift or reward
to the players OF management of an
other club for services rendered, o
supposed to have been rendered in
defeating a competing club"
A years ineligibility also would be
the penalty under another rule for
betting on any game in which the
bettor had no part.
Permanent ineligibility is the pen
atty the commissioner suggested for
betting on any game In which the bet
tor is a player, or in any way con-
nected.
The fourth suggestion by the COM
missioner would write into base ball
rules a regulation similar to the
statute of limitations familiar in law.
Under this rule, alleged offenses In
base ball would be outlawed after a
prescribed term of years.
Would Have Barred Probe.
Such a regulation would have made
impossible the investigation just
closed, which dealt almost entirely
with games played 10 years ago, and
which Ban Johnson, president Of the
American League, said previously had
been investigated and disposed of by
Lands.

on the dairy farm he operates near
Rochester, Mimi, vouchsafed the in

casion than ever before. He swung
so hard, in fact, that he strained a
muscle in his left side near the heart
and was unable to play for time.
Why He Hits Them So Hard.
Diegel's long driving comes from
two circumstances. Not tall, for in
stance, like Jim Barnes, he yet gets
a very wide arc in his swing, which
is flat, because he braces himself so
that he leans we'll toward the ball
and because he holds his arms well
out from the body. Not as husky as
Walter Hagen, he gets more power
into his punch because of his greater
nervous energy.
The manner in which Leo addresses
the ball is interesting. He does not
place any part of the clubhead be-
hind the ball. In fact, the clubhead
is held inside the ball at least three
or four inches. Inasmuch as his
arms are almost completely extended,
he obviously puts a big, shoulder pivot
into his swing on the downward
sweep.

In the last professional golfers cham
pionship at Salisbury, Long Island,
Leo outhit Walter Hagen off the tee
two-thirds Of the time. This kept
Hagen playing first to the green and,
as Walter was sticking his mashie-
niblick shots dead against the pin,
Leo was kept under constant, nerve
wrecking pressure. This affected his
iron play, which is capable of being
as brilliant as anybodys.
A Near HOle-in-One.
One of the greatest drives Diegel
ever made was pulled off at Troon,
Scotland, while practicing for the
qualifying rounds of the British open
championship.
The eleventh hole on the municipal
course was the scene of this tremend-
Gus effort. IT measures $40 yards.
Leo tore off a screamer that held the
line to the pin all the way. After a
long carry it rolled upon the green
and right across the mouth of the
cup, coming to stop six feet be-
yond. Had it had just a shade less
punch behind 1t, or if it had hit the
back of the cup on the bounce, Leo
would have rung up 340-yard hole-in-
one, which would be well worth re-
member1ng.
Two Remarkable Eagles.
Playing in a special four-ball match
at Beaumont, Tex, in 1924, Leo cleo
trified the gallery and his fellow
players by a great drive from the
first tee.
The hole measured 345 yards. and

but Leo felt sufficiently pleased when
he holed his putt for another eagle 2.

Risberg said he had expected the

Risberg's story, corroborated by
Chick Gandil, was that the White

accused players explained, as a re-

Boston, the club that was the only
menace to the Soxs' pennant ambi-

Commissioner Lands found in the
testimony nothing to indicate any

of the players named, but he
sharply censured them for con-
tributing to or accepting a pool, even
though it was reward for excel
