By Associated Pres*. New York. Aug. 23.—Charges that Pat Duncan, center fielder, and Sammy Bohne, second baseman of the Cincinnati Nationals had been approached by gamblers during a re cent series with New York Giants at Cincinatl, were given official cog nizance today when John A. Heydler, president of the league, held a hear ing at which both players denied the accusations, under oath. The charges had been made by a Chicago sports publication. Clnb to Back Them. Cincinnati, Aug. 23.—President August Herrmann, of the Cincinnati Nationals when told that Second Base man Bohne and Left Fielder Duncan had denied that they had been ap proached by gamblers during the re cent New York series, said if the two players file suit against the pub lication which made the charges, the directors of the Cincinnati club will do all they can to assist them. No direct evidence of the alleged operation of gamblers had been ob tained, it was explained, but 'Presi dent Heydler took the attitude that no charges of the character Involved should go unchallenged. The out ^ime of the hearing was character ized not only as removing any basis for the story but also as clearing Duncan and Bohne. President Heydler Issued the fol lowing statement after the hearing: “As a result of the publication of charges by a Chicago sports weekly that players Duncan and Bohne of the Cincinnati club had been ap proached by gamblers during the last series with New York in Cincinnati, President Heydler called the players before him today for a hearing. The Cincinnati newspaper men traveling with the club also were present. “The players took oath before Pres ident Heydler that they had not been approached. He suggested they bring suit for criminal slander against the publication and they decided to do so. President Heydler also sug gested to the Cincinnati club that It bring action at once against the publication.” The charges resulting in the hear ing were published by “Colyer’s Eye,” a Chicago weekly devoted to profes sional sports .
