CASEY’S MUDVILLE BOYS WERE SQUARE SHOOTERS f De Wolf Hopper Says Edges on Players Were Noticeable From Distance—Laughs at Probe.

Bv Times Special PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8. there is any right and justice left in the baseball world, De Wolf Hopper will be the first witness called before Judge Landis in opening up the impending “probe” into the CaAey “slough-out” in Mudville that historic day in ’BB. And if Hopper is called, there will be no need for additional testimony. The dean of Gilbert & Sulivan actors knows Casey like Casey once knew Bock, and he is holding himself ready for anything. “The idea of Casey taking a bribe is preposterous," Hopper said. "He didn't have any money on that. game. He didn’t have any money at all. Besides, Casey simply wasn’t that kind of a ball player. "A cinch he didn’t, because no scandal, no matter how slight, can remain buried for forty years.”

Baseball Judge to Announce Verdict in Case Next Wednesday. Ity Clarke B. Kelsey United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. B.—The world of baseball today eagerly awaited the decision of Its supreme power, on which rests the confidence of a nation, in the greatest of organized sports. For next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, Kenesaw M. Landis, high commlsioner of the game, will announce the verdict which will tell whether he believes any irregularities existed In the sport during the season of 1917. That decision will come as a sequel to the most unusual inquiry in the game’s history—an investigation which lias been conducted to determine whether the Detroit Tigers of 1917 deliberately allowed the Chicago White Sox to win a four-game series, in order that the western club might beat out Boston for the pennant. In the investigation approximately forty ball players, some of them tho game's greatest Idols, have heard their names involved In charges made by two players, both of them now "outlawed” from the game because they conspired to “throw” a world's series in 1919, that the series of Sept. 2 and 3, 1917, between the Tigers and White Sox was “fixed" for the Sox to win. 1919 Series “Convicts” These two men are Charles (Swede) Risberg, and Arnold (Chick) Gandil, both former White Sox players, and two of the eight, who were banished from the game after the “scandal” of the 1919 world's series. The commissioner has rone through a painstaking process of evidence gathering, during which he has allowed every man whose name has been mentioned to appear for himself. Each of the players has denied the charges of Risberg and Gandil. As the situation stands at present, Landis has the following three points, as the major developments of the inquiry: 1. The charges of two "blacklisted” players against the word of some forty men connected with the game, whose honesty never had before been questioned, that the series mentioned was “thrown.” Gandil and Risberg charge that a pot was taken up by the White Sox to reward the Tigers for "throwing” the series. The other players said that this pot (Turn to Page 11)

Hopper fell to musing. , “It would be my guess that Swede Risberg started the whole thing by dropping some remark to one of his neighbors up in Minnesota,” he continued. "Mudville in- 'BB was the squarest town in the country. It had the squarest ball team. too. Some of the edges on the ball platters were noticeable from a distance. “Casey proved he/ was on the level by striking out. That strikeout was the only tiling ho ever was noted for.” Hopper indicated he rather hoped he wouldn’t be called to Chicago. He is celebrating his sesqui-centcn nial in a Philadelphia theater, recit ing "Casey at the Bat” twice a day, and very busy adding to the popii larity he has piled up for Mudville's aging mogul of the mace.

Ross had 601, Cobler, 633; Cray? 603; Wiesman, 601 and Fox, 604. Bailey with games of 235, 224 and 200 for 659 was high in this loop closely followed by Graff, who had 647.

Hook Pass Usually Stock in Trade Play Most Good Teams Use It With Variations as Worked Out by Coach 1 "By 11. G. Olsen, Ohio State Coach —-

The hook pass is used by many good teams as a “stock in li'ado” pass. Other teams use it also, but possibly in a more specialized way, to fit particular situations. One very good use which can be made of the hook pass is to get the ball from a poor strategic position in the corner of the floor to a better position In the vicinity of the free throw line. Oftentimes a -dribbler will find his path to the basket "blocked” by*~a guard and will find himself being forced toward the sideline in the offensive corner of the floor. Rather than he driven "out of bounds” or take a “wild" shot at the basket, or lie "tied up” with held ball in that location, the dribbler may very well resort to the hook pass back to a teammate at the free throw line. The teammate, preferably the "running guard,” since he expects that sort of a pass from the dribbler who has been forced into the corner, can “time" his “break” for the free throw line in such a way that he gets the ball high in the air while going at top speed, the result oftentimes being a "pot" shot directly under the basket. This hook pass should not be a "blind" ot "wild” pass. It can and should be made accurately to the teammate. It is made as follows: The dribbler, when nearly to the sideline, "takes off" with his left foot, if he is a right-handed passer, leaps high in the air. turning his body as he takes off so that he can face the mark or the man to whom he is passing. The cognition mistake here isNhat many players do not turn the body and, consequently, cannot see the teammate to whom they are passing. Tho ball is swung up higlt over the head, not “around the ear.” so that the ball leaves the hands a full arm’s length above the head and is, consequently, very seldom blocked. The illustration shows the player's position just after the ball has loft his hands. Note that the body has been turned properly, that he is looking at the receiver. The guard, although well up in the air, has not even “come close" to blocking the pass.

Off the Backßoard By NORMAN ISAACS

' r Rich Race Tracks May Close ! j Hu United Pres* | JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Jan. B. j The rich and scenic horseracing j tracks in Florida—where thousands j of winter tourists have been fAests annually—face the possibility of permanent closing. Late Friday the State Supreme Court refused a writ of supersedeas agairtst an injunction granted several ago against the sale of lease certificates —a form of betting—at the beautiful Pomano track. Racing Friday was postponed. , Officials of the track said the racing program, which was scheduled to run until next Wednesday, would be closed after the final race today. There also is a possibility that i the West Coast Jockey Club at I Tampa Downs may not open. Harvey Myers, president of the company, recently was convicted of violating the State anti-gambling laws and county officials said they believed it was possible the track would not open.

S. —Thu year 1927 is no more healthy for champions thah waa 1926. y Eric Hagenlacher, the first titleholder to risk his crown in the new year bowed to defeat to Willie Hoppe, who whs considered a prodigy for so many years that he is still thought of as a youth despite his close to forty years. Iloppe regained the 18.2 balkline billiard championship he lost In 1925. The closing block of 500 points saw a brilliant display of billiards, with Hoppe overcoming a lead to win, 1,500 to 1,387.

Varied Crowd It was a crowd of varied composition. There were men in evening dress who forsook their Fifth Ave. clubs for the evening, others who acquired their Interest In billiards in pool halls of the east side. Half a hundred women also attended the match. I Nerves GU*e Way The nerves of the cue artists at times gave way under tho strain. Hoppe was the leader, 1,000 to 840 as Friday night's block began. He finished a string of 23, then Hagenlacher showed championship caliber. He clicked off superb shots for an hour or more until he had passed his opponent and then went ahead, finally missing after a run of 288. While Hagenlacher was shooting, Hoppe sat nervously as though under leash. The inaction was dispiriting. At the moment Hagenlacher mlssbd Hoppe was up from his seat, his cue, ready to proceed without a breathing speil. He was over anxious and made but three billiards. Toward midnight, however, the great Hoppe skill returned and he established a run of 286. This put him close to victory and he won the championship in two more trips to the table. The)title Carried with It a $2,500 purse find a diamond trophy.
