ntcd Prowl—Charges that two Cin-

amount of 810.000 damages.
Joseph Volk was killed over a

The charges were published last
Saturday by "Collycr'a Dye," 3 Chi-
cago weekly spoyts paper. but the
first official recognition given them
was at yesterday's hearing in the of-
nce of the National league executive.
who established a precedent by in-
viting Cincinnati newspaper-men
traveling with the club to attend.
The publication alleged that Bohnc
and Duncan. in ’adeltion to a thiru
player. whose identity was not .ro~
vealed .had been approached by
gamblers with an offer of $3.000
each to influence their play in the
series with the Giants at Cincinnati
the first week of August. Color to
the gambling charges. it was de-
clared. was added by the fact that
the Reds lost five straight games to
the Giants in that series.
Players Deny Charges.
Both players. howevu. denied. un-
der. oath .thnt they had been ap-
proached either directly or indirect-
ly‘by gamblers. while President
Heydler. after the hearing. asserted
"the charges against Bollnc and
Duncan appear to me to be silly and
unfounded." Nevertheless, the league
executive emphasized. every effort
would be made to“ trace them to
their source.
"\Ve are going to do all in our
power to make this publication show
cause why it attacked two.“ pr
said Mr. nqdlmwws arei
not satisfied to fav‘r clean baseball:
we will fight for ole-n baseball."
After hearing the players yester-
day morning. President Heydlet ad-
visod.them to institute legal action
against the publication. lie also
urged that the Cincinnati club take
similar action. n suggestion which
was followed by an immetfiate dec-
laration by August Herrmnnn. pres-
ident of the club. that he would back
the players in any legal course they
took.

“The miners are organized. The
operators are organized. Let the
people of New England organize and
exercise their collective power. So
long as the people of New England
depend almost exclusis uy on domes-
tic anthracite for home use. they
are lending encouragement to the
exaction of unjust prices and to in-
difference on the part of both mlbers
and operators as to whether a regu-
lar and dependable supply is main-
taiued. By learning how to use oth-
er fuels and by diversifying the de-
mand the people of New England
will create a. healthy competition and
furnish a better protectio: against
unjust emotions and irregularities of
supply than any law can git-e. Th.

“Let the people serve notice on the
‘ anthracite producers. both miners
and operators. that if they wish to
retain their New England markets.
they‘must reform their practicu and
furnish a regular supply at a ~i-paon-
‘abte price. If they fail in this. a boy-
cott will follow.
“A boycott it even of only com-
