HARD To, BELIEVEECHARGESE ' l
AGAINST CHASE
‘Tis a very serious charge they make,
against Hal Chose. ,
cinnati tells us that Chase, who has
. been 'suspended‘for the season by the
Reds, is charged with having bet on
teams opposing the Redsaod then hav-
ing done all in his power to “tllrow”
those contests: it is hard to believe
that Chase would be guilty of such low
practice. Ewe think that the Cincinna-
ti club, unless it had absOluto proof
' should have kept the charges secret.
Unless backed by incontrovertible
evidence, such as led to the blacklist-
ing of Hall, Devlin, Nichols and Carver
of the Louisville National League club
of 1877. charges of “throwing" games
are hard to prove. The. major leagues
have not had a case such as Chase‘si
"since the 1877 incident, in which sale-g '
gmms showed that the four playersE
named had gambled against LouisvilleI
and then tossed oif games to opposing
clubs. The Louisvilles left on their
final trip to the East that year withI ,
the pennant as good as won, but sud-
denly began to rdop games Investiga-
tion proved the four players named to
,be .in. collusion for the benefit of the
enemy, and they promptly were
thrown out of baseball. Devlin, who
had received only $100 but of the
transaction, pleaded on his deathbed
for a pardon. but it was refused.
Nichols afterward played with the
late James Hamilton’ a ball team at theI
old Fair Grounds in Norwalk, and
made the acquaintance of many old-
time Norwalk baseball enthusiastics. ;
