In the first game Luque was at his best and blanked the visitors, 2 to 0, while in the second the Reds pounded McQuillan hard enough to -win by a .count of 4 to 3. inspite of the fact that Rube Marquard could not make the grade, and had to be relieved by Pete Donohue in the sixth round. The infield showed some rapid work durine the two contests. Crane wis the brieht lisrht for the Reds, the rest of the Red infield also cut in with some very fast plays.

America's National Game Being Saved by Trial of 'Black Sox' Bringing to Justice of Those Who Contributed "Toward

Debasing Baseball in Saves the Sport, By FRANK C. MENKES 1 One of those consummations devout ly to be wished has come about in the sending to trial of the "Black Sox." When the nauseating details of the "sell-out" of the world series of 1919 were first brought to light, the skeptics declared: . "Whether or not these birds are guilty, they'll never be brought to trial." , But those men are on.riaI now due to the unceasing efforts of Ban Johnson to have legal justice mated out to men who corrupted the national game and nearly undermined the sport that has stood off all challenges of dishonesty for more than 40 years. Everv legal trick was tried" by the men involved to escape going to trial. At one time it seemed that success had come to them. For the original indictments against -them were dis missed and the men were temporarily free from legal toils. Ban Johnson Intervenes. Then it was that Johnson Tallied to gether the men who knew about the in side workings of the 1919 steal and went with them before another Grand Jury in Chicago. Previous to that Johnson had made numerous trips all around the circuit to gather evidence which not only would result in new indictments but which seemed to assure conviction for the guilty. "Baseball's entire future is at stake," declared Johnson at the time. "These men are guilty. Some confessed and each confession involved the others. Later repudiations of those confessions were just legal tricks. The confessions, plus the evidence which has been gathered, proved a deliberate, cold blooded and successful plan, to sen the world series of 1919 to a clique How They Stand j NATIONAL LEAGUE. Clubs.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

the 1919 Series Says Menke. of gamblers for & certain sum of money. "If the men who disgraced baseball and killed themselves entirely in the eyes of the baseball world were permitted to escape without a trial, it would be as hard a blow to the honesty of the national game as the sell-out itself. For them it could be said that the men whose job it is to protect baseball and to keep It clean and honest are false to the trust Imposed in them." All the ill-feeling of yore between Johnson and the men who were his enemies has been- forgotten . in th'j fight which baseball, as a whole, has made to bring the "Black Sox" to trial. Under Johnson's -leadership, every man in the game rallied to the fight against the "Black Sox." Con vinced that those men are guilty, and remembering the adage of "the guilty must suffer," they have fought with Johnson to make the government's case complete. Kenesaw M. Landis has not taken any conspicuous part in the affair There are several reasons. One is that the incident took place before he got into the game as High 'Commissioner. The second is that his federal Job in Chicago, plus active administration of baseball's affairs now leave him but little time for anything else. But from the start, when Johnson needed legal guidance, the jurist never was found wanting. Johnson Foils Escape It is an admitted fact in big league baseball circles that Johnson's unalterable determination to bring those "Black Sox" to the bar of justice was the only thing that saved the Indicted men from escaping. Other lights la the baseball firmament despaired, at times. They figured " they couldn't make a winning case out of the tangled shreds of evidence which were in their possession. But John son travelled nearly across the continent three times and got what was wanted in the way of new confessions, new affidavits It is possible, of course, that the "Black Sox," through the medium of some legal technicality,, can escape the prison terms which are richly deserv ed. But no matter how the trial re sults, the fact is clear that they'll never play organized baseball aeain. And it is equally true that the indict ment of those men and their subse quent trial will serve as a lesson for all time to ball players who might be siirrea Dy disnonest motives that "You can't get away with it."
