Tech to Stage
Annual Class
Cage Tourney
Xeanis to Bp Divided Into
11 Leagupg; Winners Play
for Home Room
Title
UHE second annual home room
basket hall league at Tech will
open this week with a much
larger enrollment than the successful
league of last year. There are 88
teams with a, total of 858 members
entered this year, as compared witli
the 80 teams and less than ion mem
bers last year.
Teams will he divided into II
leagues, the winners of which play for
the championship of the school. A
team from the I2A home room won
the championship last year;
The idea back of the league, which
is conducted by the athletic depart
ment of the school, is not the devel
opment of material for the first team,
but is primarily to allow every boy
in the school a chance to participate
in athletics of some sort. And nearly
half the boys in Tech are taking ad
vantage of the opportunity.
N'ew’York, Jan. 12.—Women golf
ers will be absolutely taboo, accord
ing to the rules drafted for the newly
incorporated Bronxville Country club
at Mount Vernon, members of the
more deadly sex not only being barred
from playing, but as guests of the
club as well.
It also developed that caddies will
wear red blouses and white knickers
and members will sport colored blaz
ers fust as they do at Saint Andrews,
Scotland.

DOLAN-O’CONNELL SCANDAL STILL
COVEREDWITHCLOAKOF MYSTERY
AS RESULT OF TESTIMONY AIRING
Banished Coarlvof New York
Giants Alone Holds Key
to Situation.
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.
