By DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK. Jan 1!.—Publication of the testimony in the DoIan-O'Con nell business by Judge Landis has served only to en dow the affair with a deeper air of mystery, accord ing to the findings expressed by our best minds today. O'Connell, without undue preamble, freely admitted his complicity in the transaction and just as freely named a few names. He charged Cozy Dolan with being the inspiration of the bright idea of fixing a pennant race already pretty thoroughly fixed by natural means and cited Frank Frisch, Ross Young and George Kelly as accomplices. All four denied the charge but Dolan's re pudiation lacked both spontaneity and horse sense and he was convicted. The others Issued denials of adequate emphasis and were absolved. In brief, the testimony covered nothing beyond what the public has known for months. Yet, the feeling will not down that there is an in sideous something lurking in the depths of the entire affair. It is safe to assume that Judge Landis feels the same way about it hut his hands are tied by lack of a fresh or even a discernible trail. On the morning the scandal broke, the writer had the doubtful pleasure of routing the judge out of his bath in order to inquire for further par ticulars. Among other things he said: "I have gone as far as It Is humanly possible to go on the evi dene* presented. But I want yon to understand that this case is not closed. It Is merely marking time." The testimony bears out Landis yond what he did. Dolan was unable to offer an ade quate defense and his replies to questions were such that any Jury would have found him guilty. In the case of the three others, It was their word against that of a self confessed fixer and the Judge s course was obvious. He could do no less than take the word of three m*n, still in good standing, against that of one who was to he cast in (he limbo of baseball's forgotten on his own recognizance. Dolan is the keynote of the situa tion. Standing convicted In the eyes of baseball he later found tongue to deny any knowledge of the transaction and if i* his stead fast claim of Innocence that has J tied the judge’s hands. re Had Dolan confessed, granting that he bad si)} tiling to confess, the Judge could then have carried, through Dolan, a depppr investiga tion into the matter. The alleged man or men “higher ttp" might ^ have been readied or at Jea«t some inkling of his or their Identify obtained. Another dark poeket of the mystery is O'Connell. It was brought out in the testimony that he is of sane mind and is not a drinking man. What, then, was the origin of his charges against Kelly. Frisrlt and Young? Were they inspired against some unseen hand for the purpose of drawing a red herring across the trail? That Is a possibility. Were they an effort on his, O'Connell’s part to involve as many as iH>«sib|p in hi» shame, regardess of their guilt or innocenee? These are only a few- of the ones tlons left unanswered by the testi mony. The chances are that many of them never will he answered.
