la violated on every tiaaa ball team, not
becauee of racultiee and coacheg conniv

be enforced.
"Tka rule againat playing bane ball for

do not believe there la . conferenck team
that would really ba eligible If tha 'facta
regarding player were known and the
conference law enforced.' .
1 do not mean by thla that there la any

coaches. The very, abaurdlty and ex

This body was able to put . Into effect

"It the conference was mighty enough
to draft these rtgorOua lawa and enforce
them, why la thire any exception, In the
aummer baae bait rule? Simply because
from 6 to CO per cent of the student body
do not believe In the justice of the law
they give their moral aupport to the
men who break It. You cant enforce a
law regarding which Injustice la felt In

Huff concluded hli statement by as
serting that If tha western confetence

Five? Yeara.
NEW YORK. Dec 11,-The National
oommislson issued a statement tonight.
Inviting the public to prove It It there
was collusion between the New York
National league base ball club or sny
ot its orrictala and ticket scalpers In
the world's series lest October.
So fer, Chairman August Herrmann
said, the commission lias spent $1,600 look
ing for evidence and was prepared to
spend more. It has investigated the
scandal, he declared, and would continue
to Investlgste, but real proof was hard
to arst.
What evidence already had been gar
nered he did nit dlsolose. .
This was but on tf geveral matters
that kept the commission for six hours
behind closed doors. Another matter dis
cussed was gambling in baas ball pools,
upon which ths miiibers placed a ban.
TO correct this evil the Commission
adopted a resolution recommending to the
National and American leagues that they .
do all In their power in their respective
circuits to end that custom. It also wss
announced that ths ocmmisslon will con
sult with "the postofflca authorities and
the proper federal officials te secure their
co-operation to that end. It having; been
reported to the commission that several
newspapers and othsr periodicals carried
these pools, making it seem a lottery."
The name of the Eastern league was
changed this afternoon to the Inter
national league and Edward O. Barrow N
was re-elected president, secretary and
treasurer tor five, yeara
The committee reported that It bad re
ferred to President Lynch of ths Na
tional and Prealdent Johnson of ths
American league the request of the East
ern league and Pacific, league and the
American association tor higher rat'lngs.
Each major league wlK consider the ques
tion at It meeting tomorrow. The com-
mission will consider the question at its
meeting tomorrow. Ths commission will
receive their reports at Its annual meet
ing in Cincinnati. January J, and dispose
of the 'matter then.
Ticket Srawaal II la- Tople.
The length of discussion tbs world's
series ticket scandsl overshadowed vu
other topic before the national commis
sion. While the subject waa up the
members did not lesv ths room, even to
luncheon, but had the meal brought In.
'When adjournment waa taken, Chair
man Herrmann threw open the doors to
newspaper men and made an oral atate-
ment.
"Insofar aa the Inveatlgatlon ot the ssle
of tickets during the world'a aerie.
concerned," he said, "the commission hsa
ataited a rigid Investigation. l h..
sxpended more than fl.COt and Is prepared
to apend more. The commission realises
that tickets wars In ths hands of specu
lators, ooth in Nsw York and Phii.d.i.
Phis, it also realizes thst the speculators
sold these ticket at exhorbitant prices.
-mat we want te know, however, ia
whether any one connected with the
New York club or the Philadelphia club
was In collusion with any spsculstor or
speculators. We are anxious te secure
information along that line.
"If any newspaper haa Information
along this Una or any Individual cr
newspaper wrttar, for tbst matter, the
commission would ba mmA to h..
them and to take the matter up with
inem. in ice tr.esntims ws are continuing
our Investigation. Wa ara tn th. i..
cf It now and wa are going te the bottom
or me matter, tut what It will result In
no one can tell."
It waa given out tKt the commission
had adjourned subject to ths call of their
chairman and that ths investigation al
though hsld up a day by tha matting to
morrow of the National and American
leagues, would continue during the re
mainder of the week er longer, and that
a meeting to go over the e video oe Uat
be called within a few daya
