Ban Johnson, president of the

men were given a clean bill. There

charges or the exoneration.
Charles Comiskey, owner OF the
White Sox: / do not see how it

Ray Schalk, manager OF the White

Judge Lands, for the first
time in his life. failed to pull
any guinea pigs, rabbits or Chi
nese paper flowers out of his
high hat. and gave the public
exactly what they expected. It
is unlike His Honor to over
look such an opportunity to do
something spectacular: some-
thing out Of the ordinary.
In writing a clean bill Of
health for the baseball figures
accused by Risberg and Gandil,
Lands declares that the only
real baseball numismatists, or
collectors of "queer coin," are
"Swede" Risberg and "Chick"
Gandil, themselves.
Since they did not come into
court with clean hands, they
had no standing there at all,
and the decision Of Lands, Of
course, is the only logical or
just one that could be reached
in view of the total lack Of
substantiation of the charges.
Meanwhile baseball has been
dragged through the mire in q
manner which is bound to leave
its effects, particularly with
those who are suspicious Of
everything and everyone. There
are those who do not wish to
be convinced Of the basic hon.
esty Of baseball and who will
be talking for the rest of their
lives about the scandals of 1917
and 1919.
Compared with some sports
which come to mind, boxing,
wrestling. and horse racing in
some States, for instance, base
ball is as pure as the sunshine.
1t has had it's dark ages, Of
course, and has outgrown them
until it is one of the best, if
not the best regulated form
of professional athletic competi-
ton extant.
No business, if it were
crooked, could possibly have SO
many men coming into it and
passing out Of it year in and
year out without its inherent
crookedness being better estab- :
Il he'd than it has been in the
case of baseball. If the game
were rotten on the inside. there
would be more Leonards and Ris-
bergs and Gandi,,1 constantly
popping up to say so.
Indeed, we believe. consider
ing the years and years the
game has been conducted pro-
fessionally and the number Of
people who have been in it, that
1t has been comparatively free
from unr1vory accuse us. No
organization as big as baseball
can exist without undesirables
creeping in, and the pro rata Of
undesirables in this game is
low-low!

'JIist say that anybody can see me

That Cobb and Speaker. having
bided their time while awaiting the

aOnally or. through their attorneys,
seems to be pretty well understood.
That the accused but neither con,

to force Lands hand appears to be
equally probable.
They may take the Risberg

There probably are several
reasons why the fast ball rOl.
lers have advanced to the

too soon or too late to coordinate
footwork with arm movement.
The speedballer gets many spare
breaks, not to speak of a sloppy
strike now and then, that come not
to the slow ball shooter, most all
Of whom throw wide hooks. And
the wider the hook, as rule, the
less accuracy one obtains.
In all the history of bowling

hits for them frequently obtain
easy spare breaks through the &c.
centric action of the naples.
But IL is not to be considered
that because the smoke artist

straight that the sphere has no
twist or "stuff" on it. One of
the fastest turning balls thrown
by any bowler in Washington is
that of WOIstenhOIme's, though
to most observers his sphere
seems to be travelling perfectly
straight.
In Wolstenholme's case. the for.

that the English has no time to

Wolstenholme's arm swing is said
to be the longest known to bowl

the ball directly above his head and
