AS CONSPIRATOR
Giant Players Said to Have
Offered Philli Player SSOO
to Throw the Game Be
tween Teams, i
New Yolk. Oct. ” (By the Associated
1 Press).—Ah preparations were being
made to receive baseball, prodigal son of
j the nation, back into the henrto of the
pebble, a new seandal has been revealed
WBOse ultimate effects cannot now be es
timated.
Commissioner Landis, who announced
last night that Jimmie O'Connell and
Cozy Dolan of the Ginnts bad been de
clared ineligible for attempted bribery,
will continue bis investigation in Wash
ington today in au effort to discover who
put the SSOO into the hands of the sub
stitute outfieder who originated the
scheme now credited to liolan and to
what extent it was practiced during the
season. "" *
People over the length and breadth of
the lapd who yesterday forgot business
and politics and ordinary affairs of life
to rejoice with the national capital as it
welcomed its heroes; people who bad pre
pared for a real celebration at the new
baptism of popular approval of the nat
ional game, today tried to understand the
circumstances of the situation sketchily
presented by Commissioner Landis in his
announcement.
Heinie Sand, Philadelphia shortstop,
looms as the hero in baseball's latest
family tragedy. The Commissioner act
ed upon information furnished by Sand
who charged that O’Connell had offered
him SSOO to throw the game between the
Giants and Phillies on September 37th.

and implicated Cosy Dolan, coach of the
team, Capt. Prank Frisch, Geo. Kelly
and Ross Young, the latter three compos
ing the backbone of the team.
Frisch, Kelly and Young were com
. pletely absolved by the Commissioner fol
lowing the hearing, but Dqlan, whose tes
timony in favor of himself, was of “such
a character as to be unacceptable,'' the
Commissioner said, was blamed as the
man who instigated the plot.
O’Connell Talks.
New York, Oct. 2. —Jimmie O’Connell,
Giant outfielder expelled from baseball
last night after he had confessed he had
offered SSOO bribe to infielder Sand of the
Philadelphia Nationals to throw last
Saturday’s game, today declared that he
had been made the goat, and other mem
bers of the New York team were the in
stigators of the bribery plot. He said
he was given to understand the whole
team was in on it.
Investigation Completed.
Washington, Oct. 2. —Investigation of
the charges of attempted bribery involv
ing the New York Giants has been com
pleted, and baseball officials apparently
convinced that the expulsion of Jimmie
WHAT GOOD IS IT, ANYWAY?
A lot of people draw the little old pay
envelope every week.
One fellow gets “thirty” and another
sixty” and it’s ten to one neither man
has “trio-bits” when pay day again rolls
around. _
If you spend it all you’re on the wrong
track, not because we say so and are
operating a saving institution, but be
cause the records show what happens.
The men and women who won’t save,
are headed for the discard and there is
only one way to change that.
START SAVING—two words that
will make the pay envelope worth some

BARNEY. DREYFUSB SAYS
SERIES COULD BE HALTED
Pittsburgh Baseball Club Owner Thinks
That Would Not Be Going Too Far to
Help Baseball.
(By (he Associated I’r***)
Pittsburgh, Pa.. Oct. 2.—Calling off
the world series would “not be too far
to go to get the right results," of base
ball’s latest scandal, it was declared to
day by Bqrney Dreyfuss, qyrne.r of tile
Pittsburgh Pirates, who‘issued a'"state
ment declaring that Jirtimy O'Connell and
Coach. Cozy Dolan, of the New York
Giants were "Only ‘the goats.”
Dreyfuss declared that Dolan last
year approached Pie Traynor, star third
baseman of tlie Pirates and he was in
formed “advised Traynor to bold me up
for $15,000 salary for 1924."
Dreyfuss said that when-he learned of
Tcaynor being approached he "suspected
that Manager had put Dojun
up tftitbf trick, his. object probably DC
iug. Traynor dWitJsfied and make
trouble oivWr cluo or tonie lts' 16 trade'

McGraw Discusses Case.
New York, Oct. 2.—John J. McGraw,
manager of the Giants, after a meeting
of the team this morning said that he
did not think that either Doian or
O'Connell was “vicious” or that either
had any connection with a gambling ring.
“They were dumb," McGraw declared.
“I cannot understand why these two
men- did what they did,” McGraw con
tinued, “when the chances were 100 to 1
that New York would win the pennant.
The only explanation I can give is that
they are a couple of saps. If you ,search
the country over you probably couldn't
tiud two bigger ones."
O’Connell attended the meeting of the
club held at the Polo Grounds but Dolan
was not there. McGraw announced that
both would be banned as- soon ns he had
received official notice of Commisioner
Landis’ decision.

having been killed on the Catawba river

would be several days before the dam
age crops .could be estimated. The
agricultural department reported, how
ever, that a tremendous loss had been*
oaused to the farmers while the State
highway commission estimated road dam
ages at. $30(7,009. Thousands of acres

Baltimore. Oct! I.—John W. Davis
i brought his campaign for the presidency
into Maryland today, delivering two ad
dresses, one at Frederick and the other
in the Fifth Regiment armory here*
where Woodrow Wilson first was nomi
nated in 1912.
. In making his first invasion of this
' "border'’ state at Frederick the Demo*
cratic standard bearer speaking before
several thousand people from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia land the
District of Colombia on the administra
tion. and made a direct attack on Sec
■ rotary Mellon in connection with the
Aluminum Company, of America, the
soldiers' bonus and the Mellon tax plan.
Unreasonable Profits.
Mr. Davis charged that the aluminum,
with which he said, Mr. Mellon had
identified himself in his recent statement,
"is profiting largely and unreasonably
through, legislative favors extended un
der the Fordney-McCumber tariff.”
The Democratic presidential nominee
said that ns explanation “*h«urCveg-Jb»ti,.. l
given, none can he given, for the) great
increase in duties on aluminum and its
products.”
“Even Mr. Mellon in his carefully pre
pared statement,” Mr. Davis said, “does
not attempt it. He confines himself to
apology and not defense.” . ?
Mr. Davis, also charged the treasury
with with issuing "wholly varying and ir
reconcilable estimates of probable sur
pluses and deficits,” at the time when
the soldiers' bonus and Mellon tax
plans were before Congress . He de
clared that the result was “a loss of
public confidence in the information giv
-1 on," and added that if Mr. Mellon de
sired "to regain the confidence of the
country he should be more cautious in
defending legislative favors enjoyed by
’ his company.”
Assailing the administration Mr.
Davis said that no one could deny that
■ its "chief characteristic” was silence.
SSence Campaign' Keynote.
, "If scandals break out in the govern
ment.” he said, “the way to treat them
, is—silence. If petted industries make
exorbitant profits under an extortionate
| tariff the answer is—silence. If the
league of nations or foreign powers invite
us into conference on questions of world
wide importance, again the answer is—
silence. If race and religious prejudice
. threaten our domestic harmony, the |rn
swer is—silence. If a wandering sec
retary of the navy plans a speaking trip
into the west, as soon as the fact is
discovered he is brought back to Wash
ington and reduced to—silence!
“If a congressional committee wishes
to investigate the treasury the answer
| is—silence.
Ills Two Commandments.
New York, Sept. 29.—Governor
Smith in his address before the State
Democratic Convention last week stated
[ that the Ten Commandments could be
reduced to two. When asked today by
the Evening World to elucidate, he
said:
I "The Ten Commandments could be
, expressed in these two: j.-i
"First —thou shalt .love thy God with
, thy whole heart, mind and soul.
"Second —thou shalt love thy neigh
bor as thyself.”
, "The theory is,”’ the Governor said,
"that if a man loves his God with his
whole heart, mind and soul and loves
l his neighbor as himsVf he cannot com
mit any* of the sins enumerated in the
Ten Commandments handed down to
Moses ■on the Mount.”
