CONSPIRACY
CHARGE
Head of National League, Judge of
Trial, Hopes Player AVI 11 Take
"Work Seriously.
KETV YORK, Feb. 5. Hal Chase,
etormy petrel of baseball, was cleared
today of the charge of "throwing
games." preferred against him by the
Cincinnati club. Ka was declared "not
guilty" by President John A. Heydler,
of the National League, who acted as
judge, after a week's study of the evi
dence for and against him.
"It is nowhere established that the
accused was interested in any pool or
wager that caused any game to result
otherwise than on its merits," eaid
Heydler in his decision.
The charges, filed by the officers of
'."the Cincinnati club, including Manager
'Christy Mathewson, were in blanket
form, alleging violation of section 40 of
j the league constitution, which reads:
C'onapirat'7 Among? Charso.
"Any person who shall be proved
puilty of offering, agreeing, conspiring
or attempting to cause any same of
"ball to result otherwise than on its
i merits under the playing rules shall
:be forever disqualified by the presi
dent of the league from acting as um
'pire, manager or player or in any other
, capacity in any game of ball par
ticipated in by a league club."
President Heydler stated in a gen-
eral way that the actual charges in
volving Chase implied that he had bet
.on games. In speaking of the rase
-after he had read his formal finding
he said that Manager Mathewson's af
' fidavit was a more or less general
complaint against Chase's conduct and
" talk upon the ball field, but that there
was little which was specific in Its
relation to the real charge upon which
the trial was based.
Result Held Vnnf fectod.
"The testimony showed," said Ileyd
; ler, "that Chase did not take his work
seriously and was entirely to blame for
the position in which he found himself.
'There was, however, no evidence that
"he intentionally violated or attempted
;to violate the rules in relation to tara-
pering with placers or in any way en
deavored to secure desired results in
the outcome of games.
"Chase testified that h had bet on
the result of baseball games with an
other player only twice in his profes
sional career. Ine first case was many
Reasons ago, when he was a spectator
at a National League contest, while a
member of an American League team.
The other wager was made in a post
season series of 1917, where he bet on
his club to win a game.
A toner cut Is Suggested.
"I do not know where Chase will play
during the coming season, but I wL
to say now that he has been proved
not guilty of the charges. I hope the
fans and others will give him a fair
chance to overcome the unpleasant im
pression which has been created. I
feel sure that he realizes the position
in which his foolish talk and actions
have placed him and will endeavor to
atone by taking his work seriously
and playing the brilliant ball of which
lie is capable."
Chase refused to talk when informed
of the verdict, but his lawyers issued
a statement for him which declared
that legal action would be continued
to obtain "full redress" from the Cin-
cinnati club, which caused his suspen-
fiion "without cause" and held up pay
'. ment of his salary.
Heydler Gives Warning.
President Heydler said in his findings
that "the interests of the public and of
the game of baseball are far more im
portant than the fate of any individual."
He declared he would protect those in
terests, "no matter what the effect on
players or clubs."
Heydler also served warning that any
National League player who bets on a
game, either for or against his own
team or whether or not he plays in the
game, will be expelled from the league.

BT PETER P. CARNEY.
Editor National Sports Syndicate.
No resume of the 1918 trapshooting
season is complete without mention of
the remarkable shooting of Frank M.
Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash.
Mere mention in a review of the sea
son, however, doesn't do justice to
Troeh. His deeds are worth individual
description. Troeh is in every sense of
the word a real trapshooting champion.
If you ever have had a sore thumb
you know how it stands out from the
other digits. That's the best way we
can describe how Troeh stands out from
the others in the classic field of ama
teur trapshooters.
Troeh journeyed from coast to coast
to participate in the tournaments regis
tered . by the Interstate Trapshooting
Association, shooting on 45 days, in 15
cities, in 11 states, and twice crossed
to Canada. It was necessary to travel
close to 17.000 miles to shoot in these
touranments.
Targets to the number of 6845 were
thrown for Troeh, and of these he
broke 6655, for a grand average of .9722.
This made him the high average ama
teur trapshootter of the year.
After the close of the season Troeh
went to the Crow Agency in Montana
and engaged in a liberty bond shoot
and later went to New Tork to partici
pate in the united war fund vents.
These two events added at least 10,000
miles to Troeh's travel-book a total of
at least 27.000 miles traveled to engage
in trapshooting events.
Troeh started by winning the singles
trapshooting championship of the state
of Washington and from that time, un
der all sorts of weather and ground
conditions, traps, scorers and referees,
in only one shoot was he outgunned.
Troeh won the doubles championship
of the United States and at the same
tournament won second place in the
Chicago Overture, as well as tieing for
high average honors in the Grand
American Handicap tournament. Just
by way of diversion he won the All-
rounod Open and Amateur Champion
shis of the United States. On his two
trips to Canada he tied for the inter
national singles championship with
Frank Wright and won the Canadian
and international doubles champion
ships.
' About the only thing of importance
that Troeh missed winning in 1918 was
the amateur championship of the Unittd
States.
Troeh made 49 runs of better than
K0. of which number 26 were better
than 75 and 15 were better than 100,
with the longest run being 181.
Troeh was second in the averages to
Harry Lorenson, of Newman, Cal.. when
he went to San Jose, Cal., to shoot
September. When the shoot concluded
Troeh was leading and Lorenson sec
ond, for Troeh missed only nine targets
in 350 and Lorenson dropped 16.
In an effort to compile an average to
last for a long time. Troeh went to
Los Angeles for the concluding regis
tered shoot of the year. On the first
400 targets he missed but three. Be
ginning the third days shooting
Troeh's famous gun broke down and
he had to rig up one with the old bar
rel and stock and another breech block
He missed seven targets in the last
200.
There is an interesting bit of history
connected with the gun that has helped
Troeh make trapshootingr history. He
went into a Portland sporting goods
store in 1911 and asked for a gun for
duckshooting purposes which set him
back $19.
Troeh took up trapshooting in 1912
and never once until the gun broke
down in Los Angeles did he ever use
anything but the old gun purchased to
bring down ducks.
Those who have tried the gun swear
that no one else could shoot it but
Troeh. Everyone is agreed that Troeh
could handle the gun. Hi3 scores and
average of six years attest this.

Benson has not won a game in the

Judge McCredie. Portland's rotund
and smiling baseball magnate, who has
been attending the directors' meeting
of the Pacific Coast League, pulled one
clear from the clouds yesterday when
he telegraphed AValter McCredie that i
Harry Daubert. Portland Infielder. nau
been traded to Salt Lake for Kenneth
Penner, pitcher.
The Portland magnate has done
many clever things in his 57 years' ex
istence on this old earth, but how he
was able to talk the Salt Lakers out
of Penner is more than AValter Mc
Credie could say yesterday after pe
rusing is uncle's telegram. The fact
that the Judge works fast and does hia
best work in a crowd such as a garner
ing of "baseball magnates might ac-
count for the good news which trickled
north over the Western Union's copper
strings.
Prnnrr Portland Favorite.
When Judge McCredie loft for San
Francisco he was bent on trading Har
ry Daubert. whom the Mormon club
officials saw in action for two weeks
after the Pacific Coast International
league finished last season, for Henry
Sands, infielder. Walter McCredie was
somewhat sweet on Sands and was
anxious to land him for the Beaver?,
but when he opened Judge McCredie's
telegram yesterday and caught a
glimpse of its contents it was a bit
more than he could stand, because
Penner is a Portland favorite and as
good a pitcher as there is in the Pa
cific Coast League.
Penner was turned over to Salt Lake
last season by Cleveland after having
spent one season in a Portland uni
form. While the Salt Lake club was
training at Porterville last Spring Mc
Credie took his tossers to Bakersfield
for a practice game. The trip was
made by automobile. On the return
dash" the machine which had Penner
for a passenger overturned while trav
eling at a high rate of speed. Penner
was taken to a hospital, where it was
found he sustained two fractured ribs.
After a couple of months' rest he
donned a uniform and pitched fairly
good ball.
Five Player Are Signed.
If Penner comes back, and I am sure
he will, I would rather have him than
any other pitcher in the Coast League.'
said AValter McCredie. "He has an ex.
cellent spltball and his one big asset
is his ability to work. I never figured
we could get Penner from Salt Lake,
because the fans over there and the
club management like him. but Penner
does not care for the high altitude in
Salt Lake, and might have requested
President Lane to make a trade for him
if possible."
The Portland Beavers roster now
contains five names Penner and Lay,
pitchers; Siglin, infielder; Farmer and
Sullivan, outfielders.
McCredie has not heard from the
American Association club that wants
Jack Farmer and is willing to trade an
infielder for the fleet-footed outfielder.
McCredie said yesterday he would take
John L. Sullivan to training camp, and
if he showed him as much as he did at
Porterville last Spring he will probably
grab off a job.
Manager McCredie said he expected
to start March 8 for Crockett. Cal..
where the Portland team will train,
which will give the Beavers about four
weeks of conditioning preparatory to
the opening of the Pacific Coast
League championship season.
With the Salt Lake team training at
Pittsburg, Cal.. and the Portland club
a few miles away at Crockett, there
will be plenty of excitement and com
petition for the two teams. Mare Is
land .Navy-yard is a short distanse
from both training camps, and baseball
teams from San Francisco and Oakland
can reach Pittsburg or Crocket ia less
than one hour, so McCredie will have
