OPENING GRIS SHARPLYHIGHER Speculators With Exporters Send Wheat Up, By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Groin futures were up sharply at start of business on the Board of Trade today. Aggressive speculation with exporters, nr.d foreigners the chief buyers, was responsible for wheat’a strength. Frost damage complaints and the strength In wheat sent corn up. Shrewd traders were under the impression that corn should do better because the cash situation is firmer and the outcome of the new crop still In doubt. Country offerings of oats were lighter, and with export of around 500,000 bushels, the market received beter speculative support. Sharply higher rabies and higher hogs sent provisions up at the opening.

I’ll go and tell Sand and see what he say3.’ “I didn’t think it was strange, because he said all the players on the team were in on it, and I said to myself if all the others are in on it, there’s nothing strange about it, and It’s all right for me, too.” Others Mentioned O’Connell then mentioned other Giant players, who, he said, approached him with the same suggestion. These players have been cleared unreservedly by Commissioner Landis of any connection with the affair. O'Connell told of approaching Sand. “Before the game I saw Sand on the field. It was while we were practicing and Sand was on the third base line. “I went up to him. I said ‘Sand, who are you fellows for?” meaning who was his team for and he answered, ‘We’re not for anybody. We’re finishing out the season.’ “Then I told him that if he wouldn’t ‘bear down’ on the game today, that it would be worth SSOO to hixn and he said he wouldn't do It and walked away. “He said, 'Nothing doing,’ and turned away. ‘A few minutes after that I went to the bench and DolAn said, ‘What did Sand say?* and I told him, ‘He said he wouldn’t do it.’ ” The big follow hung around the clubhouse entrance as his teammates gathered there this morning and spoke to several who passed him. “Hello. Jimmy.” they answered. Non*- of the unstopped. They seemed sympathetically inclined toward the erring player, but left him strictly alone. “Pep” Young, star of the Gianfs, came along. Young had been named by O’Connell as one of the players who spoke about the bribe, but had been cleared of any connection with the affair by Commissioner Landis. "O’Connell is a dam liar," Young said brusquely. “I know aboslutely nothing about it.” Dolan, veteran coach of the Giants, made an impassioned protestation o innocence today. “I haven't been able to eat or sleep since I heard about this thing,” Dolan declared. “I’ve been knocked cold. I had nothing to do with this thing and I’m innocent.” Tho game was the one in which the Giants clinched the National League championship. Jack Bentley pitched tlie Giants to a victory, holding the Phillies to five hits. Announcement of the action was made by Judge Landis, czar of organized hasoball. Sand was offered SSOO to throw the game and refused, reporting the case to his superiors. Baseball critics here admitted the scandal will cause the Giants to go into the world series against the Washington Senators, champions of tho American League, under a considerable handicap.
Player's Cleared Landis’ action followed a two-day investigation ending O’ConneO’s confession, which charged that Dolan instigated the plan and sought | to Implicate George Kelly, first baseman; Frank Frisch, captain of the Giants, and Ross Yc-ung, outfielder. These players, however, were cleared. The commissioner Issued the following statement: “Player D’Connell and Coach Dolan of the New York National ! league baseball club have today been placed on the ineligible list. This action was taken by the com missloner on evidence furnished by tho confession of O'Connell and the testimony of Dolan. “It appears that on Saturday, Sept. 27, O’Connell offered Player Sand of the Philadelphia Phillies SSOO to throw the ball game, which I Sand refused promptly and reported to Manager Fletcher. This Was followed by the commissioner's Investigation In conference with officials Os the New York club, which resulted in O’Connell's confession, which placed the responsibility of instigating the scheme on Dolan, whose testimony on his own behalf was of such a character as to be unacceptable. Named Others “O’Connell's confession sought to implicate players Frisch, Young and Kelly of the New York club, but their testimonies, In the commissioner’s opinion, was a clear refutation of the charge, which, standing alone, was exceedingly unreasonable. “The commissioner desires to express his heartiest commendation of player Sand.” Coming on tho eve of the world’s series, the loss of O’Connell may prove a severe blow to the Giants if Captain Frisch, out of the game for two weeks on account of an injured finger, is unable to play. Under such conditions, Kelly probably will play second base, Terry taking first, and O’Connell would have been the logical choice for center field. $75,000 Beauty O’Connell has been kept on the bench most of this season. He came to the Giants from the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League at the beginning of the 1923 season. His purchase price was $75,000 and was greatly over rated, according to most Giant fans. Last year he appeared in eighty-seven games for the Giants and batted .250. His greatest accomplishment this year was in a recent game with the Pirates, when, inserted into the line-up in place of Meusel, he crashed out a homer that won the game and took the heart out of Pittsburgh, who lost the next two games and their chances for the pennant. “I’D SWEAR BY JIMMY” Former Manager of Coast Flayers' Says He’s Innocent?

First Baseman Kelly expressed surprise when told of the action. I have no statement to make cxcepti that to bribe a player of an opposing* team never entered my mind,” he said.
