CHICAGO DEFEATS
CROOKS GONE

Ousting of Zimmerman, Chase,
Magee for Alleged Gambling
Believed by League Head to
Have Ended .Questionable Play.
Chicago, Sept. 27. (U. P.)
Crookedness in National league base
ball games has been eliminated. In
the opinion of John Heydler, presi
dent, here to testify before the
grand Jury investigating gambling on
baseball.
"Heine Zimmerman, Hal Chase and
Lee Magee were thrown out of the Na
tional league because of gambling,'
Heydler said.
Although it had been generally known
that Zimmerman. Chase and Magee
were banished because of alleged crook
edness, - this was the first official an
nouncement of the fact.
"This cleansed the game In the Na
tional league and as far as I know the
only scandal in the American league is
connected with the 1919 world series,"
Heydler - said.
OTHERS WERE SCARED
"The action taken In the Zimmerman
case Beared the others who might other
wise have been inclined to play crooked
baseball and they are not willing to take
any chances now
Heydler said the New York Giants
club deserved a great deal of credit for
the swift and decisive action taken in
the cases of Chase and Zimmerman.
Heydier said he had the affidavits of
Ru.be Benton and Charles Herxog re
garding alleged gambling.
"It merely comes down to a question
of one man's word against another's,"
Heydler said. "However, published re
ports of Benton's statements differ from
the affidavit which he made."
Declaring the investigation was de
veloping a lot of silly angles Which be
cloud the main Issue," Heydler urged the
grand Jury to stick to the main Issue-
investigation of alleged crookedness in
baseball.
Heydler said the National league has
taken particular pains to Investigate

BOX PLATERS SUSPECTED
The grand jury, on meeting tomorrow.
will continue its scrutiny of the ltl
world's series, in which several White
Sox players were reported to have sold
out to gamblers.
August Herrman, former chairman of
the national commission, and president
of the Cincinnati Reds, was today re
quested by State's Attorney Hoyne to ap

tigation. Ray Schalk, catcher for the White Sox,
will appear tomorrow morning, when the
grand jury resumes its probe. Schalk.
whose integrity haa never, been ques
tioned, will be able to tell the Inside-story
of the plot, according to reports.
Schalk has never denied fighting with
two members of the White Sox clique
which lslleged to have sold out to the
gamblers during the 1919 world series.
Reports circulated after the series were
that Schalk, angered by a play made
during the game by one of the men
under suspicion, demanded an explana
tion, and an encounter followed.
8HALK CLEAX PLATER
Schalk Is recognized as probably one
of the cleanest players in the game,
and officials are counting strongly on
his testimony to build up their case.
A Bubpena was also issued today "for
Dr. R. B. Prettyman, a Chicago den

have had with them will be gone, into.

Sugar is down again!
Refiners have notified the Port

cents per 100 pounds in the price
effective at once upon all shipments.
This means that the decline in prices
Will become effective in Portland

be the latter part of the week.
The new wholesale price on cane
granulated sugar of the best quality
will be' $15.55 per hundred pounds,
which means not above $17.55 to the
consumer, although some merchants are
now cutting their margin , on sugar to
$1 per hundred pounds, which would
mean $16.55 to the consumer.
In the meantime both' the consumer

Hotel Fire Measure
Intended to Reduce
Hazards Is Shelved
The much discussed hotel fire ordi
nance was brought up for final read
ing this afternoon at the city council
and again shelved, at least until
Wednesday. Frank Grant representing
certain hotel men, suggested to the coun
cil that the ordinance might be uncon
stitutional and aaked that the measure
be referred to the city attorney for an
opinion.
Grant held the hotels in question had
been built in accordance with the exist
ing city laws, and said he -doubted if
the city had a constitutional right to
pass an ordinance forcing the remodel
tng of these structures.
The city . council referred the matter
to City Attorney La Roche, but Mayor
Baker said he believed the move only
a -subterfuge- to bold up paasage of
the law.
"We have a duty to face in providing
protection for human life, and the soon
er we meet it the better,' the mayor
said. Baker ordered La Roche to lay
other matters aside .and have a report
back jmri. this ordinance at the council

HOMERS AT PH LLY
COURTOPH
RULES AGAINST
DAIRY LEAGUE
emporary Injunction Which Was
Granted Distributors Is Dis
solved; Contract Validity to Be
Considered Later.
Circuit Judge McCourt this morn
ing denied the application for a tem
porary Injunction and vacated, ths
restraining order that was Issued
several weeks ago In the action of
the Oregon Dairymen's Cooperative
league against the Portland milk
distributors. The league sought an
Injunction restraining ths distrib
utors from interfering with the con
tract arrangements between the "
eague and Its members or trying to
induce members to violate such con
tracts. In his opinion, the Judge pointed out
that the plaintiff charged that it was
threatened with Irreparable damage by
the action of the defendanta. The milk
distributors contended that the market-
ng agreements between the league and
its members unreasonably restrain trade
and are, therefore, contrary to public
policy and void. ,
DAMAGE SOT &HOW1T
The contention of serious damage was
not sustained by the Judge, who said
that the testimony showed that "not one
of the more than 2000 contracts had been
violated as a result of the defendants'
efforts, but on the contrary, league
members on the whole have become
stronger In their attachment to the -or
ganisation.
Before Issuing an injunction." said
McCourt "the court ought to be fully
satisfied that some right is about to be
destroyed or Irreparably Injured." r ,
It Is not necessary at this stage of -
the case," said the court "to determine
the validity of plaintiffs marketing
agreements. The purpose of ths court
in this opinion is to declare the rules
of law applicable to such agreements
ana to reserve mat aecision until the
final hesrlng of the caW. '
CASE HEARD tX..XVQVT :'. ..'i
Judge McCourt has had this matter
under consideration sinoe early In Au
gust when the hearing on the applica
tion of the league was held In : his
court At that time several days were
consumed In taking of testimony, the
league attorneys undertaking to show -
that the milk distributors of Portland -were
trying to break up the organise- '
tion of milk producers snd to get pro-
ducers to sell to them directly Instead
of marketing their product through the
league. The distributors contended that , '
they were strictly within their rights
tn undertaking to secure deliveries - of
milk from producers, regardless el ths
activities of the league, and . that there
was no Illegal Interference of business
through their acts, but that the league
Itself set up an attempt Improperly to
