IT over
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 22-It has
IN been several years since what
is POLITICALLY known as the fair name
OF baseball was scorched by the
sordid breath of scandal. 1t was in
1920 that a plurality of the White
Sox succeeded in disproving an age
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-23

never heard 1t explained by the
gentlemen holding to this theory
whether it presumed that the aver
age of faithfulneSS on ball club
was supposedly limited to one man
or whether it was merely inadvis-
able to include as many as nine in a
conspiracy.
You were simply told that a
baseball game could not be thrown
because il took more than one
man to throw it. Seemingly, 1t
never occurred to anybody that
there was no physical law against
a group of men getting together
and throwing one.
u =
T%HATis what the White Sox did.
l. The clique, headed by Chick
Gandil, threw a lot of ball games.
They even threw world series. How
many ordinary games they threw in
the course of the 1920 season for
betting purposes probably never will
be known.
Baseball remained approximately
pure for the next four years, or I'M
til Coy Dolan and Jimmy O'Con-
nell of the Giants asked Heinie
Sand Of the Phillies not to bear
down too hard in an important
game.
This was not much Of scandal
as scandals go because Heinie per-
sisted in manifesting a sublime
species of piety. He haughtily in
formed the MesSrs Dolan and
O'Connell that rags were riches
when worn for virtues sake and
who in the heck did they think he
was to throw ball game for $500?
The good Mr.. Lands reluctantly
deserted his golf course to look
into the unpleasantness and in
the course of his investigation
learned from frankie FriSch, then
captain of the Giants, that back
in the club house the boys had a
quaint custom of jesting bolster
ously about bribery, thrown ball
games and the evils of divorce.
A ND though the Giants captain
i IN assured Mr.. Lands this was all
done in good clean fun the old gen
tleman with the rampant couture
nrofessed to be shocked and de-
manded that the boys try to relieve
the tedium of club house exile in
the future with pastimes OF less
sinister nature.
All Of which brings me eager and
bright-eyed to the newest scandal
in baseball. The tail-end Ph1llles
have won nine of their last twelve
games, and If there isn't something
phoney about that, CALI Curci is a
hoofer and Paul Revere did 1T on a
pogo stick.
I do not wish to insinuate that
the Phillies are not winning those
games on the level but the uprising
is entirely lacking in logic or pur-
pose and if Mr.. Lands can spare the
time from his putter I wish he'd
start a probe.
At any rate the truth should be
known. The Phillies haven't any
business winning that often in a
year. or for that matter in two
years. Until they went radical the
Phillies had won seven games and
lost thirty-three and even then it
was believed they we're playing far
over their heads.
4
To hear how they have won nine
but of the last twelve and that,
barring the Cards, are playing bet
ter ball than any club in the
league is surprising or suspicious,
depending on your faith in the
game, humanity and miracles. OF
course the answer may be that
Burt Shotton has finally got them
to playing ball. In which event 1t
ie only natural to inquire why.
