Landis Discloses All Testimony in Big League Attempted Bribery 9 Case

BASEBALL CHIEF PROVES -HE GA VE HONEST VERDICT Commissioner's Decision Based on Evidence Given by Sand and O'Connell —Nothing Concealed, Bu United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Kenesaw M. Landis, supreme dictator of organized baseball, today made public all the testimony in the O’Connell-Dolan “attempted bribery” case, showing that nothing important had been concealed in previous versions of the affair.

The report was taken as an answer to charges that other members of the New York Giants were involved in the attempt to bribe Heinie Sand of the Philadelphia club to “throw'” a game last year to the Giants. Two Banished No players, except O’Connell and possibly Coach Cosy Dolan—both already banished from baseball —had any knowledge of the bribery, the report said. Landis made no statement in connection with the report. He simply gave newspaper reporters a complete copy of the testimony as it was takers when he questioned all of the players involved. ' The testimony showed all of the players, including O’Connell, answered every question put to them by Landis in straightforward manner, O’Connell confessing plainly -arid directly that he approached HLnd with the offer. He insisted, Jlrowever, it was Dolan who inspired him to do it. Dolan Evasive Dolan, who was coach for the Giants, -was evasive in his answers and found great difficulty in recalling details of the plot, despite the fact Landis questioned him only three days after the alleged bribe offer was made. Sand’s version of the offer, as shown by the testimony, was: “Jimmy O’Connell asked me what I thought our club thougrht of winning the pennant. I said tohlm. •Why. I hope the beet club wins. JimmyHe said: ‘That's not it. How do you fel ; lows feel toward us winning the pennant. ‘Well.’ I said, ‘as far as I m concerned in like to see you win. be mg’ a friend ol said ‘Well, how do the other boys feel about it?’ and I said T don t know I said something about ‘Well, I would like to see it end up with u taking two - games from you stfid Brooklyn Boston two games, wherein a tie would COl "He said. ’Hell, we don’t want to play Brooklyn’ and I said. Well, that i* the way I would like to see it finished, and it wa6 my guess all the rest of the boys would to*.’ He said 'Would sb(M> cb;SR® your opinidn, Heinie.’ and I looked at him kind of disgusted and I said Jimmie I §n not interested, and he said All ijgnt, clnie. this is just between you and I. It needn’t go any further. _ ~ “He said ‘Vou go out and do your best and with that I walked to my bench and he walked tft his batting cave. Landis and O’Connell O’Connell’s confession, the report showed, was the same as given out immediately after his banishment. It was in the form of questions by Landis, asking the player whether the reports of the bribe offer were ie, and answers by O’Connell in \ affirmative. j'Tbfe testimony in rt follows: - T Tndee Landis ■ “Mr. O'Connell, as I underetood to tell me. in a conversati on ,i L'itb Player Sand you asked bim ?rtio the fellows were for. by fellows meaning the Philadelphia piayers and re ; then *if he would not, bear down against us in a pinch, meaning the Mew York team: that there was mcnet in it lor acao. that he’said-he would go out there BV3S tot Sd he said he would not do anything like that „ *W J o^PyofS : to sSSfcfiSl hfm you would eee Sand? _ „ Judpe SSdis: : “fa that the way it hapPC Mr., O’Connell: That is the way it hapP * Judge Landis: “Now. Cosy, does this "V s gXi? en ?‘l7 does"no. refresh my memory o at all. I don't remember it at ““fudge Landis- “What did you think when a Pr^dn' l t on thi°nk°oi it. I acted th! spur of the moment. Dolan’s Testimony Dolan’s testimony showed the •mazing loss of memory recorded in the earlier deleted report given out at the time the scandal arose, but it did not implicate any of the other three Giants mentioned as being in on the plot. Tnrt,™ Landis: “Vou can not even remembw talking to O'Connell on any subieC Mr Dolan: “I may have talked to him. StimSTtndl cannot remember any conversation I cannot & um of hfs diking .with Sand remem?(L about that particular subject before al this conversation that O Connell ‘Not that I . remember. JU Judge Landis: “He seems to be in his right mind, doesn’t he? „ 'jtuire'Lamdis: * perfectly plain to you that ho is not under the influence ol Hduor?” ~j don , t lhlnk is.” fudge Landis: “Have your relaUons •iv u’Conncll been friertdly f . W Vr Ddan “On the same ball club. 1 •'“ “n?o&Vu£? Landis, in telling O’Connell of his ineligibility for further play in organized baseball, stated to him that since Young, Frisch and Kelly had denied any complicity in the affair and that since Dolan had “failed to remember” in the eight or nine questions he was asked, it was plain Dolan’s testimony was not worth much. “It means the same as a confession, doesn’t it, O’Connell,” the baseball czar asked, and O’Connell agreed that it did. “You made a charge against three other men,” Landis stated. “They came in and specifically denied its truth. The strongest thing in the whole thing, except your confession, was Dolan’s attitude. “I simply say as to Young, Frisch and. Kelly in view of the nature of the charge against them, how they te Into this thing according to r testimony and their explicit di- ; answers to it on that testimony, I cannot find these men guilty. If anything in the world suggests further inquiry it will be followed up.” __V Reynolds Is Victor Bu Timet Svecial BLOOMINGTON.

D. football playrers, showed lack of practice and were unable to give the visitors much assistance! Both are rafed good net performers, but it takes practice to shine, and they have had only two days’ tuning up. Butler has a flock of brilliants, and their passing and floor work is impressive.

Hendrix tossed in one from the side and Howell, Muneie forward, registered a two-pointer, which ended the scoring for the game. Walsh played a good game for the •visitors with four field goals and one from the foul line. Muneie had the best team that has been seen on the Shortridge court this season. They are big and fast and are fighting all the time, but ragged passing and poor shooting at times lost them many chances to score.
