New York District Attorney Launches Legal Investigation in Baseball Scandal I Landis Ready to Co-Operate With Gotham Official Hey tiler Suddenly Departs for Chicago—Dolan's Attorney Welcomes Investigation on Behalf of Client. Bjr Ahmh iuted rrra*. • EW YORK, Jan. 10. —fa-gal investiga tion wliirli may lead to grand jury action In tlie Dolan • O'Connell bribery scandal was launched to day h.v District At torney Itanton of New York, upon receipt of all tlie evidence gathered in the case by Baseball Commis sioner I.andis. _ At tlie same time, Commissioner I.andis pledged his readiness to co-operate with the district attorney in obtaining wit nesses or in any other way, thus, since ills authority over tlie national game is virtually supreme, putting * baseball’s entire machinery at tlie dis posal of tlie investigation. Assistant District Attorney George N. Rrothers, usually picked to try tlie most Important criminal cases in New York county, was assigned im mediately by Mr. Banton to take charge of the probe which will be made under the special law branding attempted baseball bribery a felony, punishable by imprisonment of one to five years and a fine of not more than *10,000. The suddenness of tills development was coupled significantly with the liasty departure of John A. Heydler, president of the National league, for t'hlcago, where he was called by I.andis to nttend a meeting tomorrow of the advisory council. The council Is composed of T.andis, ITeylder and Frank Navin, president of the Detroit Tigers, who replaced "Ban Johnson when the American league president was recently shorn of most of his powers. In turning over to the district at torney a transcript of the Ivibery in vestigation testimony which recently was made public. Commissioner I.andis pointed nut that it would not afford a basis for conviction of any one so far involved except Jimmy O’Conneil, young outfielder who con fessed liis attempt to bribe Helnie Sand, Philadelphia shortstop In a game near the close of the 19?* sea son. The commissioner whose action v vs regarded as an admission that his own probe into tlie affair baa been balked, stressed the point that i he had not obtained any evidence corroborating O’Connell's story. This story named Coxy Dolan as Instigator of the bribery deal and also mention ed Frank Friseh. George Kelly and Boss Young, Giant stars. Dolan, on the Insufflriency and evasiveness of his answers was expelled along with O’Connell but die other three were exonerated on their explicit denials of any part in the affair. William ,T. Fallon, attorney for Dolan, whose threatened suit against lA'ndls and other baseball officials was dropped, declared he w-elcomed the district attorney's Investigation on behalf of his client. CHICAGO, Jan. iO—President B. B. .Johnson of the American league in a statement tonight heartily endorsed the legal investiga tion started by District Attorney Ban ton of New York which may lead to grand Jury action In connection with the Dolan-O’Connell hasball bribery Scandal Just before the last world series. “Baseball,” Johnson ssld, "has rlamored for laws to punish gam blers, players and ronfidener men who have been attempting to disrupt the game. For years we have been beseeching the state legislators to adopt laws which will punish the guilty persons. Now that New York has iaken the first stand in placing such a law on its statutes, we slmutd do all In our power to punish the guilty players to the limit. Should It he brought out at the trial that others are Implicated, then the law should take Its course and punish those also to the limit. "In 1920 the state's attorney of I Cook county did all In his power to eonvlet members of the Chicago White Soy for their implication In the alleged throwing of gamee of the 1919 World series to the Cincinnati Reds, but those Implicated escaped punish ment from tbs courts, because there was no law which covered the of fense. Since that time T have been an earnest advocate of a state law to remedy this evil and if state laws will »ot stamp out this trouble, then I advocate a federal law which will deal with gamblers, crooked ball players and confidence men, who are g detriment to the game of baseball.1 ROCKNE ELEVEN READY TO PRACTICE South Bend, Ind., Jan. 20.—As soon as the snow melts from Cartier field Knut.e Rockne will begin hl« 1926 gridiron rsmpalgn, he said today. A call will be Issued for candidates for next season's football team, Rockne said, and he expects at least a dosen squads. The famous cantering backfleld stars, Uayden. Miller, Crowley and Rtiihldreher, and Adam Walsh, cap tain and center of the 1924 team, will assist Rockne and his coaching staff In developing the new men. Meanwell to Head Badgers. Madison, Wls.,Jan. 20 — Dr. Walter Meanwell will be recommended to the board of regents of the Univer sity of Wisconsin for athletic dl rector, the Capital Timas states to day. The recommendation was de cided upon at a. meeting of the ath letlo council last night and already has been sent to president Btrge, the newspaper-'g story says. Bluejay Cagers Considered Best Seen on Hawkeye Floor This Season IOWA CITY. la., Jan. SO.—'The fighting Hawkeyes, although off form Saturday night, could hard ly liave hoped to defeat file Creighton "wonder five,” which is probably the ltest team tliat ever set foot on the Hawkeye basket ball court. The Ne braskans hud the fastest offense seen on the Iowa floor this year and they were as superior to the Hawkeye* In speed as Barry’s men were in their slaughter of Purdue in (lie second conference game last week. Iowa sport fans expert never to see another exhibition o( basket ball such as Creighton gave them Saturday. They outplayed the Hawkeye* in practically every department of the game and were so fast In getting file ball down the floor tliat the speedy Old Gold guards were some times left far in the wake of a dash ing Nebraskan, who slipped in a pretty basket with no fear of being overtaken. The beating did the HaWkeyes good, however, and they should be In lighting trim when they Invade Urbana Saturday to decide, for the time being, the Big Ten cage leader ship. The Old Gold and lllinl fives are now the only undefeated teams in the conference and ope will fall by the wayside this week-end. The Hawkeyes seemed victims of nervousness in Saturday's game and railed to take advantage of several good chances to score. Their passing was bad and they worked their short pass offense with uncertainty, wait ing until the Creighton defense was set for them before weaving their way toward the basket. Although tile Creighton quintet out classed Iowa, the brilliant floor work of Jimmy I.aude was not missing. The speedy forward intercepted prac tically all of tlie few Creighton bullet passes tliat did not reach the waiting arms of a blue clad invader and he led the Hawkeye offense down the floor. Captain Janse did most of 1 lie scoring for the Old Gold and was the high point man of the game, sinking I four baskets and flve foul throws. After being out of the early season games because of Illness, Janse has now regained his old form, and should be among the high scorers of the conference In his final year of competition. Tech Cagers Face Hard Practice With a hard week end In store for his charges. Coach Drummond of Tech is sparing no effort to get his men ready for the double invasion of the Tech camp scheduled for next Friday and Saturday. Hastings and Sioux City highs are the invaders and neither Is to be taken lightly. The record of Hastings this year shows a loss to the strong Lincoln team and a win from Columbus. The loss to Lincoln is not disparaging to Hastings since Coach Browne has one of the strongest teams In the state, and will probably make a strong bid for state honors. Though little Is known of Sioux City's 1 :>2r* quintet the IowanR have always had a strong five In the past and this year Is probably no excep tion. The Sioux are always near the top in athletics as shown by thetr football record against Central In the past few years and their defeat of Tech, Nebraska state champions. The Tech practice Tuesday was de voted mainly to drill on passing and basket shooting with little scrim mage. The squad came through last week's rough battle with Abraham Lincoln In good shape and should be In fine fettle by Friday afternoon. IOWA GRID SQUAD TO REPORT SOON Special Iliepatch to The Omaha Bee. Iowa City, la., Jnn. 20.—February will see Burt Ingwersen and his Hawkeye grid men In full dress for spring practice at Iowa. Until the weather permits outdoor practice. Ingwersen will give the men Indoor lectures and chalk talks with oc casional demonstration* on the gym floor. Four veteran linemen and folir baokflelders will greet Coach Irigwer sen at the spring drills, as will a num ber of second string men who give promise of developments next fall. The Hawkeye menor will probably give considerable time to the yearling numerals winners, who will furnish the new blood for the Hawkeyes’ U25 aggregation. The old gold letter men who re turn next year are Capt. H. W. Grlf fen, center; F. M. Olson, P. R. Kraususki, guards; R. K. Homey, end; J. A. Schlrmer, W. L. Fry, R. G. Dauher, halfbacks; D. M. Graham, fullback. IOWA HAS STAR IN SCANTLEBURY Special ni«pet«"h te The Omaha Bm. Iowa City, la.. Jan. 20.—Wilbur Scantlebury, Hawkeye baseball cap tain and football alar, la no slouch on the basket ball floor. He is far In the lead for high scoring honors in the Interfraternity basket ball league, having scored 13 baskets snd three foul throws in the two gsmet he has played for the Phi Delta Theta five, of which he Is captain. Scantlebury also won the loving cup offered to the high point man In the frat league last year, scoring 40 points In four games. The Phi Delts are now leading their secttbn, and are conceded to be nne of the strong est teams among the 30 fraternal or ganizations represented In the tour ney. Merle Snyder of Phi Gamma Delta Is second with 21 points, which include 10 baskets and one foul throw. Sabs of Delta Sigma Delta, dental fraternity, is third with eight baskets. Nelson Cagers Win.
