Farrell (] ’ r» Qj .» »%•' New York, Oct. 29. —Commissioner Landis, head of baseball, will lie asked nt the annual winter meetings of the big leagues to reconsider the case of Jimmy O’Connell, the young former Giant outfielder, who was placed on the ineligible list after the 1924 scandal. The movement is not being pirb l 'd actively hv anyone connected with the New York club or anyone with any | particular sympathy for the former I chnmtdons. Most of the National league off’cl -ls and pracically every player ItT the two bie leagues feel that O'Connell acted innocently if he had r" v "art in the attempt to bribe Heinie Sand, the Philadelphia shortstop, for not "hearing down” In one of the list games of the 1924 season against the Giants. They point out also that the New York offic : als failed to get a case against the California youngster and the investigation of Commissioner Landis showed that he had acted innocently and had been made the goat “The boy was just a green, innocent youngster.’* a prominent National league man said today. “He would do anything he was told and was made the goat for countless practical jokes. “I know that at one t'me he was sent to the clubhouse for a couple of lefthanded bats and he tried to find them. “Another time, in the eighth inning of a tight game in which the Giants were playing, one of the regulars sent him to the clubhouse for the home run bats and he returned with an armful. “That boy has been given a big enough dpse for what he was charged with doing and they ought to take him back.” o Pennsylvania Star May Be Out Os Illinois Game New York, Oct. 29-Two good les—A grid battle between two of the most famous backfield stars football has produced seems to have been cancelled with the news from Philadelphia that Al Kruez. the Pennsylvania ace, will be out of the lineup when Red Grange and his Illinois team mates invade the Quaker City Saturday. According to the decidedly bearish information handed out by the Penn coaching staff, Kruez has an injured left knee which will not permit him to play f,r more than a week. Football mentors dearly love to betray their public by sounding the lugubrious note in advance of the big games. Week after week.passes in which a casualty list is announced and the members on that list get into action just as though they never had been injured. .Maynard Fuller, of Root township, looked after business interests in the city today. \ •
