BAD BILL STILL
BARRED FROM
ORGANIZED BALI
Commissioner Reaches De-
cision After Seven
Hour Hearing

NEW YORK, Dec. 4 -tR-
Commissioner K. M. Lands re-
fused today to change his Nov. %
ruling, which barred William D.
Cox, former president of the Phil
adelphia National League Club.
from holding any office in organl-
zed baseball because he had wag-
cred ON the Phils.
Lands issued his decision after
a seven-hour open hearing, dur
inc which Cox claimed that his
admissions to the Commissioner
concerning wagering on the Pills
had been to test the loyalty of a
member of his organization.
1.-The rules on gambling are obi
gatory on me as on other base
ball men and the order will have
to be that l do not put out new
order" said Lands.
After reviewing the case from
the denial of wagering by Cox in
August, through his admission to
the Commissioner on Nov. 3 and
E and his custer on Nov. %, Lands
said:
Il see no escape with such in
telligence as l am endowed or at
tlicted with from the conclusion
that Cox came to me with any
such thing in his mind as his
statement TODAY that his admls-
sions of betting were all part of
plan to "smoke somebody out"
IL his organization.
One of the last witnesses to be
called was Bucky Harris, whom
Cox fired as manager of the Pills
late in July and who was summon
I'd by Lands to testify concern
ing visit he and Jimmy Hagen,
Pills travelling secretary, made
TO Cox's office, at which time they
spoke to Dorothy Massie, Cox s
secretary.
Harris said that Miss Massie
made phone call in his presence
and asked the ODDS on that days
game. Previously, Hagen had
testified that the phone rang while
they were in Cox's office.
when she completed the call,
asked her what were the odds
said Harris, land she replied, 49,
5 Brooklyn.
do you mean to tell me, I ask.
ed her, that MIR. Cox is betting or
baseball. She looked somewhat
startled and said: 1 thought you
knew that. I have to keep a book
on that I told her that if Lands
ever knows that it will be the end
Of Mr.. Cox
Miss Massie also had testified
that she never had placed bets for
Cox but had done so for Harold
Henry, vice-president of one of the
lumber companies with which
Cox is associated.
Cox's attorney, Lloyd Paul
Stryker, said after the hearing he
is mot contemplating any further
action at this time"

PRO GRID CROWN
CHASE IS MIDDLE
Washington Is Able To
Clear Picture With
Win Over Giants

CHICAGO, Dec. 4--Rj-Unless the
Washington Redskins settle down
tomorrow or the following Sunday,
the Eastern Division is likely to
wind up in tine widest finish in the
history of the National Football
League.
All that the Redskins need to gain
a clear Eastern title and a place in
the Dec. 10 championship game
with the Chicago Bears is win
or even tie in either of their two
remaining games-both with the
New York Giants.
But until Washington turns that
trick. New York vii. continue to be
in the running for piece Of the
crown. If the Giants take both Of
these contests they certainly viii
gain a tie, out in that case the
Phil-Pitt Eagles can slip in anc
make it a threesome. simply by
beating the Green Bay Packers
tomorrow at Philadelphia.
The 1871 Western tie between
the Chicago Bears and the Pack
ers is the only instance in which
divicional playoff has been neces
sary. But the trlpple-deadloc1 pros
poets in the East have the league
chiefs dizzy.
If such a Wachy conclusion oc'
cures, a ''semlfinaP' playoff be-
tween two of the tied teams would
have to be staged Dec. 10, the
date of the intended inter-league
championship game. Then the win
ner would meet the third Eastern
finalist on Dec. &c in the final play
off, thus postponing the real
world Series match with the
Bears to Jan. Z.
The Wasnington-Giants at New
York and the Packer-Eagle tus-
sic at Philadelphia are the only
ones scheduled tomor1 ow. Brook
Ign, Detroit and the Chicago Cardi-
nails have closed their states, as
have the Chicago Bears who must
resume practicing Tuesday for
their championship effort.
The Giants will face the Redskins
with both of their starting ends
