JURY INDICTS FOUR
IN BASEBALL PROBE
Three Players and Alleged
Gambler Named.
CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
Rctarn of True Bills Follows
Months of Investigation of Al
' leged Crookedness In Games.
LOS AXCELES, Dec. 10. Indict
ments charging criminal conspiracy
were returned against four persons
here today by the county grand Jury,
"Which for several weeks has been in
vestigating charges of alleged "crook
, cdness" in the 1919 season of the Pa
cific Coast Baseball league.
The four named were: W. Baker
(Babe) -Borton, former first baseman
of the Vernon club, whose charges
precipitated the investigation.
Harl V. Maggert, former outfielder
for the Salt Lake club.
W. G. Rumler, Salt Lake outfielder,
Nathan Raymond, alleged gambler,
Seattle.
Bail Fixed at 91000.
The Indictments were returned be
fore Judge Willis of the criminal de
partment of the superior court, who
fixed bail in each case at $1000.
None of the men named was in
court, and bench warrants were is
sued. It was said Borton, released
by the Vernon club and- suspended by
President McCarthy of the league,
was working for a Los Angeles mo
tion picture company.
Maggert, released by Salt Lake, was
' said to be in the coal business in
Berkeley. CaL
Rumler, suspended for five years,
Is (said to be in Salt Lake City.
Raymond is believed in Vancouver,
B. C.
The indictments charge conspiracy
to "throw" baseball games, the spe
cific incident named being the Sait
Lake-Vernon series in Los Angeles in
October, 1919. It clears the Vernon
, team of charges made by Borton that
( a "slush fund" was raised by mem
bers of that club to "buy" the 1919
.'league pennant, but states that if the
race had been played on its merits,
the Los Angeles team would have won
the season's championship.
Vernon Players Not Blamed.
But. as'de from Borton. who ad
mitted offering bribes to various
players of the league, the grand jury
found that Vernon players had no
; part in the alleged conspiracy.
It also declared the "fan fund"
raised in '1919 by Los Angeles fans
for the team either Vernon or Los
. Angeles which won the pennant, was
' not diverted to any illegal purposes,
as charged by Borton.
The charge of criminal conspiracy
is punishable by not more than two
years' imprisonment or a fine of not
more than $5000 or both.
"Our aim has been to help baseball,
nol to harm It," said James Irvin.
' foreman of the grand jury.
The indictments recite that "by
reason of the known professional
' skill" of Borton, Maggert and Rum
ler, spectators "were induced and did
pay admrssion to see said games by
reason of their belief in the integrity
o said players."
LUt of Fana Given.
Then comes a list of Los Angeles
men who in March, 1919, agreed to
subscribe to the "fan fund," J3SS5.
for distribution among the players of
the Los Angeles or Vernon team if
either won the pennant.
September 5, 1919. was the day
fixed by the grand jury upon which,
it chargeA Borton, Maggert and Rum
ler, "together with Raymond . . .
did willfully, unlawfully, feloniously
and fraudulently and corruptly con-
spire" to defraud the Los Angeles club
and the Vernon club of the $3885 "fan
fund" and the spectators of their ad
mission fees and to procure the Ver
non team to win games from, the Salt
Lako club."
It Is charged Magcert and Rumler
agreed not to use their best endeavors
to win for the Salt Lake club, "but on
the contrary, would end-eavor in such
contests to play so imperfectly and
with such lack of skill" and- to in
fluence other members of tie Salt
Lake club to do the same, that the
Vernon club would win games which
i otherwise it might have lost.
As a further part of the conspiracy,
it was charged, "said Nathan Ray
mond would procure persons to make
bets and wagers that the Los An
geles team would win the pennant,"
although knowing of the alleged
agreement by Maggert and Rumler
'to do their best to lose games to Ver
non in: that club's series with Salt
Lake.
Forty-six witnesses were heard.
They included the president and sev-
eral league officials, officials and
players on various teams, a number
of sports writers on Los Angeles
newspapers and business men.
BORTON' OXCE PORTLAXDER
Indicted Player Came to Beavers
From St. Louis Club.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 10. Wil
liam Baker ("Babe") Borton started
his baseball career with the Spring
field club of the Three I league, at
the time that Dick Kinsella, now
scout for the New York Giants, was
jts manager. Prior to that Borton
and Ray Chapman, who was killed by
a pitched ball last season, had played
sandlot ball together. They went to
the Three I the same season.
After a season or so in the Three I,
Borton went to the majors, played
with New York. Boston, St. Louis
Americans, and St. Louis Federals.
Borton played with St. Louis teams
until traded to the Portland club of
the Pacific coast league in J 917. That
winter, when Portland was dropped
temporarily from the league, Borton
. was transferred to Sacramento but
refused to report there and Vernon
made a deal for him. He has been
with Vernon most of the time since,
although, in 1918 he spent most of the
season at Camp Lewis. He led all
. first basemen in fielding up to his re
lease this year.
In 1914 Borton was sent to the Pa
cific coast league and clave with
Vernon, but when the Federal league
"w-as scouting for players .is repre
sentatives persuaded Borton to
Jump.
He lives here and is employed by a
motion picture producing concern.

WALT M'CREDIE BAYS SADLY -WHEN
DISCUSSING OLD GAVVY
Small Lot and Short Fences of Salt Lake Diamond Will Give Cravath,
New Manager, Home-Run Impetus. .
BY L. H. GREGORY. '
OW that Salt Lake has signed
p old Gavvy Cravath as
manager, signed wait -ic-
Credie. yesterday, "we never will be
able to get the side out in that town.
Cravathis murder with a short fence.
And Salt Lake has short fences.
"I never have been able to figure
out why, with four huge city .squares.
Salt Lake size, out or which-to- tfuild
a baseball park, -the Salt Lake man
agement went and enclosed one ctgar
box worth of space. The park is the
smallest in the league and it could
just as well have been the largest.
Any long fly is good for a home run
there. ,
"Just imagine old Gavvy .waddling
up to bat in the ninth inning with
us only a couple of runs ahead, and
with two Salt Lakers on bases and
those short fences to hit at! I'd as
soon face Sam Langford in the
seventh .round. Boy, howdy!"
Cravath leaves some genuine mourn
ers behind him at Philadelphia. Says
Jim Nasium, cartoonist writer of th
Philadelphia Inquirer:
"The Salt Lake club has gained a
man better fitted to direct the destiny
of a. ball club and strengthen its weak
spots than any player who recently
has been permitted to drift out of
the big leagues through the deplor
able lak of discernment of,big league
club owners.
"Known to the baseball public only
as a long-distance hitter of great
ability, Cravath never has had credit
frr his knowledge and wisdom. At
the plate he is always thinking with j
the pitcner ana nis rKumiivawic v-v.i.
shows that he usually thinks best.
Contrary to general belief, Cravath
has. compiled his long-distance hit
ting record not aloie by natural abil
ity, but through out-thinking op
posing pitchers.
"His theory is that more ballplay
ers would develop into good hitters
if they would only think with the
pitcher when they are up there at
the plate, instead of trusting with
their eyes to follow the ball. '
"In his long baseball career
Cravath has whaled out a grand total
of 218 home runs, twice as many as
Pop Anson made in a career of 22
years. 117 more than Honus Wagner,
who thumped out iui in years, uu
11 more than Babe Ruth has com
piled to date."
The signing of Cravath to manage
Salt Lake virtually disposes ot any
chanee that the Salt lake franchise
will be switched next season to Van
couver, B. C lnciaenxaiiy, who ui
you suppose is among the applicants
for the thankless job of handling
the Phillies which Cravath quit to

The peculiar part of it is tnat
Campy Dreyfuss of Pittsburg time
and again begged the big Dutchman
to try his hand at managing the
Pirates. Wagner always replied that
he wanted no managing in his. Now
that he has been out of the game a
few years the old itch has come on
him and he applies for the hardest
managing job in the big league, for
the main purpose of the present
owners of the Phillies seems to be
to wreck the team, not build it up.
Hart Howard "vi-ill captain the Uni
versity of Oregon tootbail eleven
next season. Here is a player who
developed almost over night from just
an ordinary end into one of the best
wing men or tne -aciric coast. A year
ago his work was good, but not out
standing. Then came the Oregon-
Harvard game at Pasadena, where he
played like a frame building in flames.
All this season he continued at the
same stalwart clip.
What made Howard seems to have
been the coaching he got preliminary
to the Pasadena game a year ago
from Brick Mitchell, the famous Ore
gon end or several seasons ago.
Mitchell had a style of end-play all
his own. He took Howard under his
special jurisdiction for a few days.
and presto! the young Oregon player
seemed to imbibe the fire and dash
and individual style of the old master.
Old-timers this season have remarked
that Howard's playing reminded them
somehow of Brick Mitchell. Now they
know why.
"It's odd how different managers
value different points in a pitcher,
Charley Graham. Seal manager, was
musing the other day, according to
Abe Kemp in the San r rancisco Bulle
tin. "Years ago when I caught for
Boston, Clark Griffith was manag
ing the Yankees. He asked my opinion
of Bobby Keefe and Jimmy Whalen
and Oscar Jones. I told him all three
were curve-ball pitchers, and I could
see he was not Impressed. When I
asked him the reason he replied that
a pitcher did not appeal to him unless
he had a good fast ball.
"Look over the records of the dif
ferent clubs Griffith has managed
and you will find the majority of the
pitchers he has had were fast .ball
pitchers. This same condition now
exists on the Washington club, which
Griffith is managing.
"I am just the opposite. I like a
pitcher with a good curve ball. It

pitcher is recommended to me or
CITY .SCHOOLS QUIT
FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Hill Military , Academy and
Columbia Left Out.
ACTION PROVES SURPRISE
Joseph A. Hill Declares No Warn
ing Given and Request for Time
to Reconsider Denlctl.
The Portland mter-scholastlc foot
ball league was broken up at a meet
ing of the board of directors held
yesterday afternoon at the Multno
mah Amateur Athletic club, when the
seven public schools of the circuit
withdrew from the league. The
action came as a great surprise.
The league was composed of eix
city high schools; Washington, Lin
coln. Franklin, Jefferson, James John
and Commerce, and Benson Tech and
two private institutions, Columbia
university and Hill Military academy.
The move of the public schools In
withdrawing is apparently an at
tempt to oust the two private schools,
it is believed.
The principals of the high schools
acted on the recommendation of D. A.
Grout, superintendent of the Port
land public schools, who made his
when I am trying to buy a pitcher.
Somehow, if he has a good curve
ball I am impressed."
The following remarks are from F.
D. Applegate. secretary of the Y. M.
C. A. at - Walla Walla.: "Your recent
gibes at the selection . of 'all-star"
football teams strike a responsive
chord in my breas,t. As it is humanly
impossible to be fair to all in the
selection of these teams, the practice
should be abandoned, beginning with
Walter Camp and his ail-American
and so on down the line. This prob
ably wouldsound like heresy to some,
but then it is just one man's opinion
and we all are entitled to that."
The annual army-navy football
combat held on the Polo Grounds in
New ' York a couple of weeks ago
must have been some torrid conflict.
Anyhow, that's the impression one
gets from reading on-the-spot ac
counts of the jamboree. For instance,
these comments by Davis J. Walsh
of the New York World-, In which
he goes so far. as to mention, a few
names:
"The navy boys stole the army
stuff. They started 'treat-'em-rough'
proceedings in the first quarter,
doubled up in the . second, doubled
again in the third, and by the time
the fourth was over those in ring
side seats had seen n-ore swings, jabs,
oppercuts and hooks than Madison
Square Garden ever did on its most
hectic evening.
"How could you expect (fee boys to
do otherwise when their mates in
the stands were urging them to 'fight!
ngnt: ngnt: that was the army ad
monition and to 'fight like hell!
fight like hell!' which roiled back
from the navy stands. Why, they just
went to it and fit!
"Jack Dempsey was Just inside the
ropes and when he saw Eddie Wilkie,
navy's 210-pound guard, land a couple
of uppercuts going into clinches, he
Decame interested. Wilkie has gained
fame at Annapolis as a wrestler. He
has a punch, too.
"So, to be frank, has Eddie Moore,
navy's other guard. Moore proved an
adept at administering punishment
with a well-concealed left hook that
smeared matjy an army countenace.
He also has a good, lusty, sailor-man
way of expressing himself. By the
time he gets on a quarterdeck he'll
probably be able to make any seaman
in the Atlantic fleet understand what
he means. The army lads talked back
to Moore, but no one can outcuss a
sailor and Moore, is a real one.
.'Don't get the idea tho tame
wasn't played according to the rules
Marquis of yueensberry. Nobody bit,
nobody scratche'd, nobody gouged. Not
an eye. nor an ear. was lost. But
everything else went, and went big."

recommendation after the school
board at its meeting December 1, had
investigated charges brought against
Hugh J. Boyd, principal of Washing
ton high -school and certain players
of the Washington football team. .
Game Recommended Forfeited. '
He recommended to directors of the
interscholastic league that the foot
ball game between Washington high
school and Columbia university should
bo forfeited to the latter team; that
the present interscholastic league was
too large and should be reduced in
size or divided into two sections; that
each sghool have a committee consist
ing of teachers to pass on the-eligibility
of players; and that all players be
compelled to attend school after the
close of the foottball season, and that
hereafter the league be known, as the
Public School Football league, and
that only the schoqls under the juris
diction of the board of school district
No. 1 be admitted to membership.
At yesterday's meeting Joseph A.
HilJ, president of Hill Military acad
emy, one of the . two schools 'left in
the cold by the public schools, asked
the directors to withhold action in
breaking up the league until after the
holidays. His request , was denied.
Yesterday was the first time, Mr. Hill
said, that he knew of the purpose of
the public school plan to withdraw
from the league, but his request for
time to consider the matter was
turned down.
The action of the directors of the
league leaves the status of scholastic
athletics in the air. No attempt was
made at the meeting to arrange plans
for the coming basketball seasbn. The
principals of the. nubile schools de
clined to say what they intend to do
toward reorganization. As it now
stands. Hill Military aeademy and
Columbia . university' are the only
members left in the league.
Leagrne Organized in 1912.
The Portland Interscholastic league
was organized in 1912 with Hill Mili
tary academy, Lincoln high school.
Allen preparatory, Washington high,
Columbia university, Jefferson high
school and the old Portland academy,
Since then Franklin. James John,
Commerce and Benson Tech have
been admitted to the league, while
Allen preparatory and Portland acad
emy have been dropped.
The directors' present at ' the, meet
ing yesterday were: T. T. Davis, Lin
coln high; Joseph A. Hill, Hill Mili
tary academy; Hugh J. -Boyd, Wash
ington high; J. F. Elfon. Commerce
high; Hopkin Jenkins. Jefferson. high;
S F. Bail, Franklin high; C. E. Cleve
land, Benson Tech, and Rev. E. P.
Burke. Columbia university. W. T.
Fletcher, principal of the James John
high school was not present.
One thing that marks the action of
the high .principals in deliberately
withdrawing from the league, for the
purpose of freezing nut Hill Military
academy and Columbia university, is
that at no time ia the ijast season had
any charges been made, or had rumors
even been current, reflecting on the
eligibility of any of their players.
Nor had these schools been charged
with violating any of" the rules of the
league. 'On the other hand charges
had been made seriously reflecting on
the eligibility of certain players on
the Washington, high school eleven
so serious that the school board con
ducted an -official. Investigation.

the conference oday, one big idea
was uppermost tho stringent en
forcement of rules tending to cleanse
collegian contests of any suggestion
of "ringer" taint. In keeping with
this plan one of the initial measures
passed was the rescinding of the neg
ative rule in force lastyear regard
ing athletic qualification and the sub
stitution of a positive measure mak
ing scholarship mandatory.
Before the opening of the regular
conference session today a. secret
gathering of northwest college rep
resentatives who are members of
the Pacific coast conference was
held behind closed doors to con
sider tho schedule recently discarded.
According to the schedule Oregon
meets Stanford in California October
'2'2, and the University of California
at Eugene the following Saturday.
Oregon dissents not only at that part
of the schedule which takes it to
Stanford two years in succession,
but at that part which forces the
Oregon team to meet the University
of California immediately following
the long jaunt south. The decision
reached at the caucus is known only
to those who participated.
At the opening session members
voted to make President Angell the
official mouthpiece of the organiza
tion, several complaining against
methods formerly in vogue regarding
unauthentic information being dis
pensed by members.
