Thus Far the Case Will Fall Flat.

! ball wall since the days of the war,
when the ball players tried to run the
game and ignore the owners.
In the present case it is not likely
| that "A decision will be given on the
spur of the moment. Testimony Will
be weighed and balanced. but all testi-
mony will be given in the open. The
examination of witnesses is expected
to be over by evening today.
One Of the things which was partic-
ularly significant in the inquiry was
the failure of Buck Weaver to back
up Risberg. The "Swede' is said to
have been thinking that Weaver went
back on him. But the matter of Wea-
Yer is one of interest. He has stead
lastly declared that he was not in
volved in the throwing" of games in
the world series of 1919. He has in
listed time and again that he was limo
cent. but had been made to suffer by
some source, the origin of which may
be ascertained if the case is reopened.
Buck Refused to Pay.
In his testimony Weaver said that
he had been asked to contribute either
$40 or $50 toward the pot raised in
1917, but said he had refused. He had
heard no talk of the series of 1917 be
ing irregular. He had never talked
with Gandil or Risberg about it, Also
the games which Risberg alleges were
''sloughed" in 1919 seemed all right to
Weaver.
Risberg could not have been more
fatty turned down by one of the play
ers who has borne the odium of the
1919 scandal. which resulted in his
Punishment from the national game.
In referring to the asserted slough
ing" of the games between Chicago and
Detroit in September, 1919, Risberg
said that he, Felsch. jackson and
Gandil had played out of position.
There it was in direct assertion-one
of the BLACK Sox' involving three of
the flock with himself. If there had
been any doubt as to whether base
ball had fastened its lightning upon
the right parties after the investiga-
ton of the 1919 series Risberg has
done his best to Danish it.
Felsch and Jackson Absent.
Felsch and jackson will not be in
Chicago. Felsch lives in Milwaukee
and will not come. Jackson had i'm
portant business that kept him in
Savannah. Gandil is expected. Risberg
and Gandil seem to have been very
friendly They designated themselves
as a committee to go to Philadelphia
to carry the fund that had been raised
to reward the Detroit players.
They and James of Detroit are ex-
pected to make an accounting of the
81 900 which they say was collected.
Only 1856 of that amount has been
traced SO far. There is some question
about where the rest of the fund
went.

NEW YORK, January THE
world 1872 balkline billiard crown,
which slipped from the grazing head
of Willie Hoppe two years ago, again

two things impress them
selves upon the impartia
~ observer weighing the facts
disclosed by the investigation
Into the charges Of thrown games
made by "Swede" Risberg, former
member Of the Chicago "black sox."
One is that unless some new and
startling evidence, scarcely looked for
now, is turned UP there will be very
slight basis for duplicating either the
Detroit or Chicago teams in thrown
games during the September and 3
0917) series between the two mines.
Another is that unless Risberg and
'Chick" Gandil have more informa
ton and get it substantiated, what
over possible chances they might have
had to get back in base ball will not
be helped.
Of course, there always is the pos
Sibility that some player or players
may have "laid down" at that time.
Risberg in his testimony admitted
that he had not played his position
properly in the September, 1919, series
between Detroit and Chicago. And
he said that three other men who later
became black soX' had not played
their positions right.
For Honest" Purpose.
But it appears that the 81 900 pot
which the White SoX raised at the
request of Gandil and Risberg in 1911
was raised for what then was consid-
cred an honest purpose-the reim-
bursement Of players on Il team who
made a particular effort to defeat a
rival in a pennant race.
The character of the Risberg
charges has made people wonder why
Commissioner Lands called in such
Try Cobb. Harry Heilmann, Kid Glea-
son and John Shane Collins to answer
them.
What else could be done?" said
Judge Lands, when asked about the
matter. Here is an accuser, here also
are men accused. Let them confront
one another"
''Swede" Risberg had come out with
a fiat statement charging crooke0ness
in that September, 1917, Detroit-Chi
cago series. He volunteered to make
grand expose Judge Lands took him
at his word and brought him to Chi
cago. where he went into elaborate
detail on New Year day. The commits
sioner then asked that he face the
players he accused. He was willing,
and as a result nearly all players on
both teams have responded.
Charges to be Sifted.

to the bottom of this entire matter,
just as it wants to get to the bottom
of other alleged intrigues, irregulari-

combined cruiser ard destroyer ton
mage of 100000 for the United States
ana Great Britain and 325,O00 for
Japan would be taken up for informal
discussion. The announcement of the
departure for London of the heads
of the British delegation was taken
as sufficient indication that those in
formal discussions Jailed to open the
way for an agreement.
In view of these circumstances,
washington officials are watching
with interest for developments in
England when W. G. Bridgeman, first
lord of the admiralty, and Earl Cecil
arrive there to explain the Geneva
situation to their home government.
The suggested basis for informal
discussion proved to be too vague
ana incomplete to afford officials here
a real understanding Of what was
contemplated. 1t was clear, however,
that SO far as the suggestion con-
cerned retention of 25 per cent Of
more than 16 year old cruisers or IL
year old destroyers outside the tom
mage limits, the proposals were wholly
unsatisfactory to the Washington
government.
The two secretaries and Admiral
Eberle, chief of naval operations, aided
by other naval officers and state
department advisers, went over the
reports in Secretary Kellogg's office
today with great care. They foura
it necessary, it is understood, to ask
Ambassadors Gibson for amplification
on many points which were not clear
as result OF the conversations in
Geneva.
The whole question of the proper
ton of cruisers and deStroyers in
the combined tonnage figure was
omitted, as was the question of the
amount that might. be devoted to
ships of the 10000 ton type The
Geneva informal discussions also ig-
nored the eight inch gun controversy
+" On the three major conditions in
volved in the cruiser discussion,
namely, the distaste for the reten-
tion of obsolete ships to pad out
cruiser tonnage, the insistence upon
freedom to select guns up to eight
inches in diameter for cruisers, and
the insistence upon the right to con-
