EriLes of Diamond,
Their Full Debt Paid,
Should Be PardOned.
BY BILL CoRUM

me Chase would have been bet
ter off If they had got him
tossed in Jail for a few years,
let him out, and then forgotten
all about it.
"Pauper Prince Hap' appears
to be in a position where he will
have to die to escape the stigma
one misStep in the National Pas
time has hung on him. That's
wrong. 1t must be wrong.
Guilty as he readily admits he
was, Chase surely has paid his
debt to baseball in the dozen
years he has been kicked from
pillar to post in one of those
desert towns after the other.
How much credence can be
put in his stories don't know.
But he certainly tells some
amazing tales, especially about
"the sympathetic pennant race"
that enabled the Reds to win
the National League flag in 1919.
He is bitter about that, for it
was the closest he ever came to
being on a pennant winner, and
he still is ball player enough at
heart to regret that he never
got into world series.
Must Wear Black Caps
Arnold Rothstein, the man
who is generally understood to
have engineered the Black Sox
scandal, has been dead several
years. The other outsiders who
were implicated and who helped
hatch and carry out the scheme
that victimized such simple souls
aS"ShoelesS Joe" Jackson, who
all but had to sign his contract
with an "X" (Joe Jackson, his
Mark, never suffered any pen
atty Of consequence. But it
looks as though the Black Sox
themselves are destined to go
on wearing the black caps of
official exile forever.
I suppose the money they
stuffed under his pillow was the
most money Jackson ever had
at one time in his own posses
sion in all his life. They say
his wife collected his pay and
doled him out only a few dol
lars now and then for spending
money. So it was little wonder
that his simple soul yielded to
temptation when he saw all
that wealth in his hand. And
wealth, to make it all the more
pleasant. that the Little
Woman" never dreamed he had.
Deserve Full Pardon
With all these things in view,
I sincerely believe that the bad
boys of the game have long
since paid their debt to its laws
and are entitled to amnesty and
full pardon. Baseball might
even improve it's position with
the fans by interesting itself in
the welfare of those who need
it-ChaSe and Jackson, for ex.
ample.
Neither Of them perhaps is
capable of holding down a job
of any great responsibility. But
surely whatever Chase got would
be preferable to what he is get
ting now, which is So a day
working on the roadS-when he
can get it to do.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-In-
cluded among my acquaintances
are perhaps q dozen men and
one woman who have, as Broad
way would say, done bit. For
the most part these past indis-
cretionS, Sometimes youthful and
ranging from putting the snatch
on a few careleSsly parked mo-
tors to putting the slug on some
bloke who had walked up dark
alley to wait for a street car,
have been forgotten.
Recent Happenings
Two recent happenings have
served to bring this home to me.
One was "Shoeless Joe" jack
sons application to Baseball

meeting with Hal Chase in Tue
son.
It may surprise you to know
Chat Chase, generally rated the
greatest first baseman Of all
time, cannot even pay his way
into those Glass D league parks
in Arizona. New Mexico and
the Southwest. More than
once, he told me, some chance
acquaintance or newspaper man
had taken him to see a game,
only to be embarrassed by hav-
ing Chase refused admittance,
or asked to leave once inside.
Which statement was borne
out by at least one reporter,
who had gone through the
experience.
81 took him with me to see
an important game we had
here in Tucson q couple Of
Summers back" said this re-
porter, "and left him sitting in
what passes for our press box
while 1 went to get . score
card and q sack Of peanuts.
When I came back he was
gone. They told me that an
official of the visiting team
had protested his presence and
that he had been asked to
leave. There was nothing I
could do about it except give
. few guys around here q good
cussing, but 1 never felt 50
sorry for a guy in my life.
Chase still loves baseball and
had, in fact, asked me to take
him to the game"
Some times, however, they
say he slips into the bleachers
among the MexicanS and In
dams and sits with his hat
pulled far down over his eyes.
But not to shade them from
the sun.
Can't Escape Stigma
Now to my way Of thinking
that is utterly ridiculous. There

IS NOT
EXPECTING
SQUAWKS
BY GARRETT WATERS

by OAhhE1 i Wal EMS
Today is the day for surprises
for big league baseball performers.
For today they've been handed
their contracts for the 1884 season
by the mail man-contracts that
will probably give them something
to think and rave about from now
until reporting time for spring
training.
Your Uncle Clark Griffith, presi.
dent the Washington Griffmen,
sent his employees their contracts
on Thursday.
Today he is sitting back in his
chair at club hea Esuarters won.
dering whether or not he'll hear
any kicks. He doesn't believe so,
as he intimated that most every
performer was taken care of in
some way"
Last year Griff didn't have a
baking player on the rostsr. Every
man signed up in due time, even
Heine Manush, who put his name
on the dotted line shortly before
reporting to the Biloxi training
headquarters.
Monte Weaver. sensation of the
1882 campaign, was the lone men,
ber of last years team to get a
raise. And then Monte got away
to poor start, became i'll, and
was of little use until the late
days Of July, when he then began
to pitch like his former self.
Discusses Subject
Discussing the subject, Griff
had this to say today:
"As you know, it's not the
policy of the club to discuss
salary terms offered the various
players. will say, though, that
one or two of the lower salaried
men were given raises, while
the higher paid men were cut
q bit to even things up in the
necessary budget set up by the
club"
Reading between the lines we'd
say that all this means that
several of Griff's choice per-
formers will work under bonus
clauses, come the new season. It
hasn't been a deep, dark secret
that General Alvin Crowder has
toiled under this arrangement for
the past two or three years, there
fore it wouldn't be surprising to
find others performing under this
agreement in 1884. Monte Weaver,
1888 high salaried man, f'instance.
To Get Raises
Those who will probably get
raises will be Pitchers Jack Rus
sell and Earl Whitehill and First
Baseman Joe Kuhel. There's no
doubt that these performers
reached unexcelled heights last
season, Russell and Whitehill for
their top-notch pitching at all
times, and Kuhel, for becoming
one of the best first sackerS in the
game.
But Griff and his staff of Of
ficials know the true answers to
these various ideas which have
found expression here, and after
all it's their business if they don't
want to come right out and boldly
state who has been given raises,
and who has not. Eh what, or oh
yeah?
Griffith has Ossie Bluege's
contract in his hand today, fol.
lowing a visit from the veteran
third baSeman yesterday.
Bluege is the first Griffman to
sign for the new season. Others
will join him in the very near
! future.
