George Burns-"I don't know any
thing about this Risberg business. -
Oscar Witt have been trying
hard to recall the alleged thrown
games, but cannot remember any in
cidents open to suspicion"
The Boston version of what went
on during 1917 was given by Jack
Barry who manager the Red Sox
team that year. He said that no
pitchers of any teams were paid by
Boston. to his knowledge. for beating
the Chicago team during 1917.

Sox, was reported to have paid
paid pitchers of other teams who
beat Chicago. Barry said that Ian
min was not the Boston club owner
in 1917. Harry Frazee had the club
then, Barry said.
The Risberg charges add to the
determination of those members of
congress who have been urging con-
gressional investigation of baseball
as a result of the accusations which
named iris Speaker and Ty Cobb.
Representative Kelly of Pennsyl-
vania has started to set up a federal
baseball commission of ten men,
hers whose duty would be to see
that the game avoided the necessity
of public washing of dirty linen.
Senator Capper. republican Of
Kansas, said the Risberg charges
serve to emphasize the need for
some legislation which would bring
such matters within the scope Of
federal prosecution in the future"

TIGERS were PAID
FOR BEATING SOX
Frank NaYin Of Detroit Saws
Practice Was Common in 1917

Detroit. Jan. 3 P-Franl Nayin.
president Of the Detroit club, be-
lieves money was presented to De-
troit pitchers by the White Sox for
their work In defeating the Boston
Red Sox in series towards the end
OF the 1917 season, which virtually
eliminated Boston from the race
that year.
On September 10. the Tigers heat
the Red Sox in Fenway park, Bos-
ton, 5 to 2 and to 0. On Septem-
Der 20 another double header was
scheduled but rain prevented the
second game. Detroit won the first,
to 0.
In statement Mr.. Navin voiced
the belief that the Tigers were Civ
en- money by the White Sox collec-
lively for their work against the
Red SoX, who were not mathemat-
lcally ousted from the race for the
pennant until the Tigers admins
tered the three defeats.
According to Navin, 1t was COM
mon during 1916, when Detroit was
in the race for the pennant for Off
clals of the Boston club to induce
pitchers for pay to bear down" on
Detroit. 1t was considered fair, for
the rewards were for winning. The
White SoX, who were in the same
position in 1917 that the Tigers
were in 1915, felt privileged to SINH
larly award the pitchers who helped
them by beating the Red Sox.
AS late. as 1921, George Dauss was
summoned to appear before Com
missioner Lands, to whose ears ru-
mors of the transactions came
Navin said. Dauss' testimony con-
vinced the commissioner that there
was no irregularity in connection
with the transaction.
Dauss, Navin said, testified he had
received a reward OF financial
nature from the White Sox because
he had defeated the Red Sox on
the afternoon of September 10, in
the second game of double head
er. to 0.
Mitchell, who also turned in vic
tories for Detroit in the series
against the Red Sox, had left base
ball, but Dauss' testimony apparent
ly sufficed, as the matter was
dropped, Navin continued.
Navin recalled that there was
much resentment towards the Bos
ton club among Detroit players dur
ing the season of 1916-19l7, due to
the disabling of several Detroit
players by the Red SoX.

The Bristol Endless pinned two de-

practically eliminating the Silver City
aggregation from the running for the
state championship. The last game
was played In Meriden.
The National. Guards will meet the
Meriden team at the state armory
in this city week from Wednesday
night, on January u. Some of the
New Britain fans who happened to
be In Meriden last Saturday night,
viewed the game between Meriden

Bristol to win. The Meriden fans
told the local men to be sure and

was a product of the sandlots and

at both football and baseball.
Around him and the old Nutmeg
team are woven romantic tales Of

Nap" was the best quarterback in
the state during the year in which he
held down that position with the
Nutmegs. Had he the opportunity
of going to some university and
there playing with football elevens,
his name would have been among
those selected for all-America teams.
AS It was, he had q host of admir-
ing friends not only in this city. but
in the state. Those who saw his
wonderful work in open field rum
ming in the old days and his general
ship In running n team. still speak
of him in glowing terms.
His death removes a colorful ath
lete but as a player who was noted
for his clean craftsmanship on the
field, his memory will remain among
those devoted to sports for years to
come.
Nap" was also baseball player
of no mean ability. He first joined
the Locomo bile Co. team of Bridge
port while working at that plant and
later became a member OF the
famous Delphi team of this city. He
was a pitcher and a good one.
The polo situation in this city
| hasn't changed much over the week
end except to bring reports that the
majority of the members of the gov
erning board in control of the state
armories, is in favor of letting the
armories out for polo. All through
the state, these state buildings would
make ideal places where roller polo
could be PLAYED. In this city, with
no other available floor, the armory
would be the mecca for sport lovers.
There isn't any question about the
probable success of the game in this
city. Those who loved the sport 20
