ously had been suspended by
Charlie Hurth, president of the
Southern Association, for fail
ing to report an attempted
bride.
Failed to Report Attempts
Trautman said his investiga-
ton had developed no proof
that a game or games actually
had been thrown. He said sew
eral players were guilty Of not
having reported attempts to
have them fix games.
He listed Pitcher James
Heise, Thomas McAvoy and
Samuel Meeks among the other
players.
Trautman's ooffice gave this
report:
HeiSe testified that Levan, a
first baSeman who has been
hitting 1897, approached him
on two occasions, once before
the start of the 1859 season and
another time during the season,
inquiring as to whether he
(HeiSe) was interested in max
ing extra money by delivering
easy-to-hit pitches to the other
team.
HeiSe said he informed Levan
on both occasions that he
would have no part in the pro-
gram. HeiSe said he did not
report the incident to the
proper authorities BECAUSE he
had spurned the offer and
didn't feel he was involved.
CLevan and HeiSe both had
brief trials with the Wash
ington Senators a few years
ago.
Gonzales suspension was the
result of not cooperating with
authorities seeking to learn the
truth of the matter, Trautman
said.
Gamblers Not Named
Identity of any gamblers in
volved in the case was not dis
closed in Trautman's report.
Trautman said the investi-
cation began the day after
Chattanooga started a series
of games at Nashville on the
evening of July 3.
IN addition to the actions
against Levan and Gonzalez,
Trautman had this to say about
the other players:
THE failure of Player Samuel
MeekS to report promptly the
attempt to enlist him in the
scheme is a most grievouS Of
Tense which ordinarily would
call for the imposition of a PEN
atty. 1t is clear, however, that
the facts might never have
come to light had Meeks con-
tinued silent after he became
a member of the Chattanooga
club"
No disciplinary action was
taken against Heise, Trautman
said, because his testimony as
sisted materially in the solution
of the case. No action was

> II told him." Bell was quoted
by the Associated Press, "an-
that they had lot Of hard
other league was possible, but
owork ahead of them. 1t will
take them three or four years
to build qualified teams"
) Bell refused to say who his
visitor was, at the latter's re-
quest, but he was reported to
be Lamar Hunt II, son of H.
L. Hunt Of the rich Texas oil
family, Accompanying the rep
resentative was Davey O'Brien,
former football star who played
for Bell when che coached the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Flouts New League
lone who refuses to take the
new football league seriously is
Jack Corbett, who founded a
rival but imperative league
the International Football
League-three years ago.
Corbett told the Associated
Press in Los Angeles:
Its strictly a maneuver to
get Congress off its (the NFLs)
back, I think Bell made the
announcement for a particu-
lar reason. He's got a corpora
ton that is a violation of the
United States Constitution and
he knows Congress is serious
about shaking up sports
monopolies.
If Bell and the NIL were
really serious, why do they talk
about bucking already estab-
llshed teams in Los Angeles
and possibly San Francisco"
Majors Get Warning
The. caucus room echoed
yesterday to a note of warn
ing against any interference by
the two major baseball leagues
with the formation of the pro-
posed third league.
Ford Prick, Bells baseball
counterpart. was the witness.
After the baseball commissioner
said his organization would
make every endeavor to help
the new league, Senator Car
roll. Democrat of Colorado
warned that a blockade against
the third league would force
Congress to take action ito
break it up"
Carroll has a special interest
in the proposed league, the
Continental. Denver is one of
five cities forming the nucleus
Tor the new organization.
Prick said that he believes
the new league will become an
eventuality." but added that it
will mot be simple and not
be easy"
Will Huddle August Is
Carroll pointed out that
earlier testimony revealed that
the existing major league teams
have 1000 players under con-
tract.
Prick said that. baseball
should be left alone to work it
out. He said legislation limiting
the number of players under
contract to a major league
team would not solve the
problems facing the new league.
He told the group that Con-
tinental League founders and
his own seven-man committee
would meet August Is to dis
cusS all the problems.
Kefauver said his bill limit

hundreds of players available
for the new league. He cited

Senate Unit Approves
Campaign Fund Bill

would permit spending by ma
tional political committees to
be increased from SO million
to about $l2 million annually,
Similarly, the limits on ex-
penditures by candidates for
the Senate and the House would
be raised.
A candidate for the Senate
could spend $4,000 or a greater
amount based on a formula
taking into account the num-
Der Of voters or registered vot-
ers in the last prior election.
Under this formula, commit
tee aides estimated, the limit
for a candidate in a State like
New York would be about $780,
900. The present ceiling for Sem
ate candidates is $4,000.
The spending limit for House
candidates would be raised from
the present $4,000 to $4,000 or
to whatever higher amount the
expenditure formula produced.
Candidates would be required
to file reports Of campaign con-
tributions and expenditures 10
days before an election with
the United States District Court
where they resided.
