ACQUITTED SOX ARE BARRED BY LANDIS RULING Baseball High Commissioner Says Game Does Not Want Jury-Freed Stars. GUILTY IN FANS* EYES CHICAGO, Aug. B.—Tbs •‘Black Sox." despite their acquittal of charges of conspiracy to -throw" the BUS world s series to Cincinnati, will atur play In organized baseball again. Judge K. iL Landis, high commissioner of baseball, made this emphatically clear in a statement issued today. He declared that no players who associate with a ‘‘bunch of crooked gambler*” are wanted in the national pastime. Landis isaued % statement of “rules” covering the case in which he barred the players from reinstatement. Judge Landis said: “Regardless of the verdict of Juries: "So player who throws a ball game; no player who undertakes or promise* to throw a ball game; no player who sits in a conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamhlers, where the ways . and meant of throwing ball game# are planned and discussed and doe* not promptly tell his club about it. will ever play professions! baseball. “Os course I ,do not know that any of thesß former White Sox will apply for Ainstatement, but if they do, those are at least a the rules that will le enforced. t “Just keep in mind that regardless of the verdict of Jnriea, baseball Is entirely competent to protect Itself against crooks both Inside and outside of the game." COXVI DOESN’T WANT ''EM BACK. „ , Charles Comlskey. owner of the White Box. said he did cot want any of the •even players who stood trial back on his club even if the Jury did acquit them of fraud. When the scandal was exposed last year Comlskey said he was done forever in a baseball way with the eccuied star*, and today he said he had not changed bis opinion of them. There was* no bitterness In the attitude of the “old Roman" against his former stars. But his entire manner showed that he hart bis mind made hip on the qneatlon and nothing would force him to change it “They can t come back with the White Sox,” Comlskey said. “Eddie Cicotts confessed to me personally of his part in | the fixed series. He told of receiving money for throwing tbe games. He im plicated all of those who we-e Indicted with him. I do not feci that I can trust them again.” “Notwithstanding the ©uteem* of the trial, aceuaed Sox players are as odious to a clean, right-thinking public as the crooks and thieves they dealt with.” was the comment today of Ban Johnson, president of tne American League. * Landis’ statement was believed At- ; signed to cover the case of all the “Black Sox.t . “Buck” Weaver, third baseman, has ilwav* contended that he received no money for the ’‘fixed series.” but confessions by some of the aceuaed players said Weaver sat in on the conferences with gamblers. Asa result of the rulings by Landis and Comlskey, the seven players are expected to go through with their plans to organize an outlaw club and make s barnstorming trip throughout the coua - try. v Eddie Cicotte already hes been elected captain of the ‘‘Black Sox" club and arrangements made for the trip. A Jurv In Superior Court last night said that the’ ‘ Black Sox” committed no crime In connection with the alleged conspiracy to "throw the 1019 world’s series to Cincinnati. Players and gamblers accused in the scandal that turned the baseball world topsy-turvey a year ego were exonerated.

JURYMEN MI 9T HAIE BEEN SU:E|Y. The verdict of the Jury that end'd the famous scandal trial came Just before midnight. The Jurors deliberated four hours and bsd just taken one ballot. It was announced. The clerk of the court read, one by one, the names of the defendants and the decision of the jury that they were innocent. Reside* the ball players. David Zelaer of I“es Moines. lowa and Carl Zork of St. Louis, alleged gambler* and •'flier*' 1 of the series, were exonerated. Demonstrations of Joy followed the verdict. The ball players pounded each other on the back and fought to shake hands with the Jurors. A crowd of 500 men that packed the courtroom stamped and cheered, despite the warning 01 Judge Hugo M. Friend that no demonstration would be' permitted. State s Attorney Crow* announced there would be no further prosecution of the players. "Buck' 1 Weaver so far Is the only player to announce that he will fight to get back In organised ball. Through bis attorney. Weaver will present a petition signed by thousands of fans asking that be be reinstated with the White Sox. PLATERS UNCERTAIN OF FI TIRE PLANS. Eddie Clootie, who admits 37 years and Is probably about at the end of bis baseball career, announced that he would retur#to hi* home la Detroit, but did not say what his plans were. Gandll declared he expected to get hold of some Sood club and manage it. indicating he Id not expect to play again in the big leagues. Williams said lie would flay *eml-pHvfessional ball nnd Joe Jackson arse* ted he was through wl j oigJuizod ball. Felsch and Risbgrg expr-Mfd their Joy at the outcome of the trial, but aid not say what their plank for tbo future W The verdict of tne Jury. It is believed, resulted chiefly from a point In Judge Friend's instructions. Judge Friend Instructed the jury that in cates where consniraeT to defraud the public and the baseball owners Is charged, it is up to fie i.*nte to prove that rets were don# by the flayers with specific intent to deIndictment of the players snd alleged gamblers followed tn investigation that Cegats immediately after the IMIS world s series when rumors that the games had got been decided "on the level" became current. The climax of the probe came 111 September, 1020, when a grand Jury was convened and after a few days Indictments were returned. Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williama m/tde confessions before the grai and Jurv, but later repudiated tbe confessions. "Bill” Burns, a former major league pitcher, and Will.am Maharg, a sporting character of Pblladelphia. also, confessed, turned State's evidence and were granted immunity. The original Indictments accused Abe AttelL former featherweight boxing champion; Hal Chase, once the prince or major league first basemen, and Fred McMullln. utility lnfielder of the White Sox Attull and Chase defeated extradition troceedings in New 'fork and i ft'rfornia and McMullin never was apprehended.

ALWAYS LARGE GALLERYWHEN PRESIDENT APPEARS ON LINKS

By DAVID M. CHURCH, International New* Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Warren Gameliel Harding Is the Nation’s great est golf attraction,. “Chick" Evans, “Jock" Hutchison and “Bobbv" Jones notwithstanding, Warren G. Harding has a bigger gallery each time that he plays golf than any other golfer in the United States. If the President saw fit to charge “two bits" per for each person in bis gallery every time he wields a “brassie" he would net a neat little sum that might run a close second to the salary check that the Treasury Department sends him twice a month. Ail Washington likes to watch the President golf, and to date most of Washington has seen him at the game. No one has heard him, which speaks will for his temper. Tbe President plays most frequently on the nine-hole course in East Potomac Park, which is maintained by the Government for the public of Washington. Whenever he appears at the first tee he is immediately surrounded by a half hundred golfers and al! of the way down the course has an Increasing “gallery." Most of the golfers let the President “go through." while they stand on the edge of the fairway and wab-h him. and it doesn't seem to fease him a bit. KEFIBES TO BECOME RATTLED. Warren G. Harding’s collective golf cards may not look well enough to be framed but he is a rare golfer, for he never displays extreme joy or chagrin over his game. Lise most of the garden variety of golfers, he spends a good bit of his time in the bunkers and raise* much dust, but, unlike most golfers, he doesn’t raise . “Cain" with the dust lie just shoots away until he i out of tlje haeard and back on the fairway, and never a word or even an ugly look Some two score or more old-time golfers stood by in amazement a short time ago and watched the President drive into a sandpit 100 yards from the tee, on a par three hole. The President watched his ball sink in the sand, walked to it very deliberately, chose a spoon and tried for an “out." No luck, but plenty of sand in the air and all over the President golfer One more try with the spoon, and the same net result. On the third shot tho little old bail went shooting into the air and carried twenty yards over the green. The President switched hit cigar from one corner of his mouth to tbe other and, without even muttering, walked on. YVbeu the Chief Executive was out of

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Aug. 3—Announcement was made Tuesday that Mark Wakefield of Rochester, ind., has been employed to coach the Bloomington High School basket-ball squad the coming sea son y> succeed Clifford Wells, who has been coach here several years and who resigned in June. Wakefield turned out a team at Rocheafer lnt season which played in the semi finals of the State tourney. He was graduated from Indiana University, class of M 9, and prior to that time played a position at guard on the State quintet.

hearing, one of the old timers who was standing by exploded, “Hell, he can t be human! Three dubs and not a single word!” The old timer followed along to the green. The President drew a six on a par three hole. “Nice work, Joe,” said the President to ■Senator Freilnghuysen, his opponent, who holde out in three. Turning toward the next tee, the President stopped in the midst of his “gallery” and asked a youth for a match. “Hail he is human, after all, eh, wot?" croaked tho old-timer. This was tut a fair example of the presidential control at golf. The chief Executive doesn’t always hit them where he would like them to go, but he has perfect control of his temper and tongue, and one bad hole doesn’t ruin bis game, for he goes after the next bole harder than ever. PLAYS FOB THE JOY OF IT. The President may not have the best golf form In the land, but it's a safe wager that be.bas as good golf temper as any player now extant, unless some of the characters In those old Sunday School books have taken up the ancient Scotch game. The executive is not a star golfer, nor is he a bad golfer. His scores run under and over the 100 mark for eighteen holes He plays golf lor the sheer joy of it, and to win. Whatever he plays he plays to win. but he plays with an extreme fairmindedness and takes no advantage over an opponent, nor does he gloat over an adversary’s misfortune. It is often said that a nlkn’s true character is shown in his golf. If this be true, Warren G.
