SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 3. Hal

baseball player, today was
barred by W. H. McCarthy. San Fran
cisco, president of the Pacific Coast
league, from all the parks of the
league. Harl Maggert, outfielder of
the Salt Lake club, at the same time
was released unconditionally by W. H.
Lane, president ol the Salt Lake club.
The action of the executives, it was
announced, followed Investigation of
charges of gambling on the games.
"Babe" Borton. first baseman of the
Vernon club of the Coast league, was
Indefinitely suspended by President
McCarthy as a result of the lnvestiga
tion which preceded the release of
Maggert. . .
Bee Pitcher Refuses Bribe.
President McCarthy, in a statement.
said Chase last week at Los Angeles
approached Charles A. Baum, Salt
Lake pitcher, with a "proposition to
make some easy money." Chase told
Baum, the president said, that he had
some friends who were willing to bet
large sums of money on the games
"provided that they had the edge.'
McCarthy declared Baum, "to his
credit. Indignantly refused."
Maggart was released, a statement
by President Lane said, "because sus-
picions have been aroused and I can
not. In Justice to myself or the Salt
Lake club, permit him to continue
with the club." The statement added
that last week at Los Angeles '"Babe"
Borton, Vernon player, offered Ralph
Stroud, Salt Lake pitcher, $300 to
"throw a game." Stroud refused the
offer.
aO0 Paid to Throw Game
"Immediately after this offer was
made," Lane said, "Borton left the
hotel at Los Angeles with Maggart
and paid him at some Los Angeles
bank the sum of J300. which Maggart
admitted he received, but which be
claimed was for a gambling debt In
curred a year before."
President McCarthy's statement fol
lows: "I have this day notified all clubs
of the Pacific coast league that ad
mission to our parks shall hereafter
be refused Hal Chase. If reports are
true. Chase has done more to discredit
baseball than any single indiv'duaL It
was hoped that his activities would
be ended with his elimination from
the major leagues and would not ex
tend further.
Betting Kins Exposed.
"Last week, at Los Angeles, how
ever. Chase, so it has been reported
to me, approached Pitcher Charles A.
Baum of the Salt Lake club with a
proposition to make some easy money.
I have this in a signed statement from
Baum. Chase went on to explain that
he had some friends who were willing
to bet large sums of money on ball
games, provided they had 'the edge.'
Baum, to his credit. Indignantly re
fused.
"Chase will not hereafter be per
mitted In any park In our league. It
is unfortunate that no further pun
ishment can be imposed. Certainly
there is no punishment too severe, but
perhaps the contempt of men and
women who love baseball and who
believe in clean sport will prove
sufficient penalty.
Clean Baseball Wanted.
"The task of keeping baseball clean
is not the easy one I had hoped. To
day's developments prove It. But I
am determined and my directors are
determined that, no matter what the
sacrifice, baseball on the Pacific
coast is going to be clean and above
suspicion."
President Lane's statement follows
"Player Harl Maggart has been un
conditionally released by me because
suspicions have been aroused where
I cannot in justice to myself or to the
Salt Lake baseball club permit him
to continue with the club.
Gamblers Proffer Cash.
"During last week, at Los Angeles,
it was reported to me that Playe
Borton of Vernon had offered Pitcher
Stroud of our club 3300 t. throw
game. The offer was refused even
after it had been repeated. Immedi
ately after this offer was made Bar
ton left the Lankershim hotel with
Maggart and paid him at some Los
Angeles bank the sum of 3300, which
Maggart admitted receiving but
which he claimed was for a gambling
debt Incurred a year before.
I tried to secure the names of
those who participated In this game
but Maggart refused to give them
and persistently refused to do so. On
' Thursday of last week, two days af
ter this money had been paid. Mag

Just what Is to be the position of
President Wilson In the coming cam
paign is a question that will not down
It worries both the democrats and the
republicans. To each party it pre
sents an aspect which differs, of
course, but ' which In both cases Is
equally acute and embarrassing. With
the democrats the question is: To
what degree will Wilson personally
and Wilson's Immediate friends put
themselves powerfully and enthusias
tically behind Cox? This, in turn,
rests on the question: To wbat de
gree will Cox glveftgenerous approval
to Wilson in his coming speech' of
acceptance and in his later conduct
of the campaign?
With the republicans the question
is: To what extent will they be able
to make Wilson the chief point of at
tack during the coming campaign
The republicans would like very much
to make Wilson the chief object of as
sault. Their mood is such that they
would be entirely willing to base
their chances of winning on that line
of assault alone. Whether they can do
this, of course, depends in a degree
on how far Cox Identifies himself with
Wilson. And so the whole question
is, for the managers of both parties,
Interrelated and interwoven.
"Wilson agd Wilsonism" Talked.
Undoubtedly the republicans some
months ago fully expected to be able
to talk "Wilson and Wilsonlsm
throughout the entire campaign. The
republican leaders thought the demo
crats would surely name McAdoo.
They counted on that and they count
ed on tying the president and his
son-in-law tightly together. There is
a story current in the highest circle
of the democratic leadership to the
effect that the republican managers
were so confident of McAdoo's noml
nation that before the democratic
convention the republican manage
ment had already printed a large
amount of campaign material directed
against McAdoo.
Whether the story Is true or not.
your correspondent does not know. It
would be characteristic of the alert
forehandedness of the republican man
agement to do It. But all that you
correspondent can say is " that th
highest of the democratic leaders be
lleve the story is true. They have
some evidence to support it.
BleAdoo Was Expected. '
. While the democratic conventio
was in session and when it looked as
if McAdoo would get the nomination,
I some of the' most Important republt
can papers in the country handled the
news from day to day In a way tha
could only be explained on the theory
that they were trying to make a fly
ing start and gather as much momen
turn as possible for an anti-"dynasty,
antl-"crown prince" campaign. It Is
no figure or speech, but literal fact,
that these republican papers, like the
San Francisco Chronicle and others
equally important, used such words
and phrases as "the dynastic succes
sion," "hereditary crown prince" and
"royal family" in a way that ex
pressed a gloating intention to capi
talize the relationship between Wil
son and McAdoo.
Wilson Center of Attack.
Just before the democratic conven
tion an important republican paper,
which speaks more or less authorita
tively, said:
"The republicans have at their dis
posal an Infallible receipt for victory
this year. All they need to do is to
make Wilson, Wilsonism and the Wil
son dynasty the issue.
"If is even easier than that. ' All
they need to do Is to permit Wilson
ism to remain the issue. It is the is-
sue now. . . .
"The central subject of serious de
bate is President Wilson, his policies,
his personality, his blunders, his
egotism, bis magnificent self-sufficiency,
his theory of 'government by
intuition.'
"If the question can be put square
ly to the" American people: 'Do you
or do you not Indorse the Wilson ad
ministration, and do you or do you
not favor a perpetuation of the Wil
6on dynasty?" there can be no doubt
as to the answer. ...
". . . They (democrats) cannot
escape responsibility for Wilsonism,
cvn If they reveal an eleventh-hour
intelligence, if not independence, and
seek to flee the sinking ship. Tbey
have permitted Wilsonism. The re
publicans should register at the com
ing election a smashing and unfor
gettable condemnation of Wilsonism
and should not permit themselves the
Pet, Said to Possess Voice Sweet as
Caruso's, Chokes to Death
on Melon Seed.
NEWARK. N. J.. Aug. 3. A crowd
estimated by the police at 10.000,
thronged the streets here tonight to
witness the funeral of Jimmle. pet
canary of Emidio Russomanno. 65-year-old
eobbler. Police reserves
were called out to preserve order and
clear the streets for the funeral cor
tege. Jimmle. described by its owner
as possessing "a song as sweet as the
voice of Caruso," choked to death
Sunday on a watermelon seed.
Leading the procession was a band
of 13 pieces, playing funeral dirges,
followed by a hearse, bedecked with
flowers and carrying a small white
coffin in which the bird's body re
posed. The old cobbler, tearj-stained
and visibly affected, rode in a coach
with a few Intimate friends.
The cost of the bird's funeral, estl
mated at 3400. was contributed by the
cobbler's friends. When Jimmle died.
the old cobbler drew the blinds of his
shop, hung out a sign "closed on ac
count of Jlmmle's death." put crepe
over his door and went into deep
mourning. A tombstone, in the shape
of a cross with a canary bird in its
center, will be erected over the bird's
grave near Branch Brook park, the
cobbler said.
