Startling Facts
Uommtgsioner Anxious to
Hear Any Information That
May Clear Up Dolan
O'Connell Affair.
Chicago, Oct. IS.—Published ac
counts i»f statements attributed to
Kmily Yde. Pittsburgh national pitch
er, that ''something more sensational
may he sprung shortly” in connection
with the baseball scandal of the New
York (Hants, led Baseball Commis
sioner J.nndls today to request Yde to
appear before him with any Informa
tion he may have.
"I am anxious to receive any in
formation from any source which will
develop whether the O’Connell-Dolan
affair has been cleared up by their
expulsion from baseball, or whether
there are trails which lead elsewhere,
said Landis, "but I have no informa
tion so far such as Yde Is quoted
a* giving, that Sand was not the only
Philadelphia player to he approached,
or that any one else was Involved.”
There are several probabilities in
this case and I am working on
them,” said the commissioner, who re
turned to his office today after fin
ishing up the world series details.
welcome any such Information as
is attributed to Yde, or any facts that
any one else can bring out, to help
clear this up.
“The baseball public can feel sure
that I am not concealing anything I
have discovered in relation to this at
tempt to throw a game. I am not
trying to cover up anything and I
am not trying to shield anyone. But
I still lack evidence that the scheme
involved others than O’Connell and
"Cozy” Dolan.
"I have encountered scores of fans
who still feel that there is more to the
story than the attempt of O'Connell,
at Dolan's Instigation, to bribe
Helnle Sand. If there is. I have as
yet been unable to trace It, but I am
still trying.”
The gray-h aired commissioner
jumped from his chair to pace the
floor and re-enact the situation when
Dolan was confronted with O’Connell
and the story of the attempted
bribe brought out. Nothing Involving
any one beyond those two has been
discovered, the commissioner raid,
but he expressed eagerness to see
Yde and hear his story.
"No one was more pleased than I
at the dramatic finish to the aeries''
he said, "and the glory won by "Wal
ter Johnson in that seventh game,
when the eyes of the country were
upon him, after his failure In two
previous games. The strain on that
great veteran was reflected In the
tense faces of the 35,000 spectators.
I felt much the same position when,
on the eve of a tremendously Interest
ing series, this niess was laid in my
lap. That 1 am right in the action 1
have taken so far, I feel confident,
anil H* to where the investigation
may lead, I do not care, but l am
pursuing It so that the baseball pub
lic will at last learn that the whole
truth has been brought out.''
