THE BASEBALL SCANDAL. INTEREST SLACKENS. (Received !1..T0 a.m.) NEW YORK. October 3. A strong reaction is occurring against | baseball "graft." Many managers of | large baseball teams are endorsing a plnn to have a national commission composed of ex-President Toft, Mr. i\V. A. McAdoo, General Leonard Wood, an aspirant for the Republican Presidential nomination, which will administer professional baseball along reorganised lines. There has been a loss of interesi in the coming world's series, which is played annually between the winning team of the American and National baseball leagues for the supremacy of that snort in America. This year the Cleveland team, of the American League, and the Brooklyn team, of the National League, will contend. The pro3ecutin<»attorney of Brooklyn examined members of the Brooklyn team, and declared them all borfa h'des. It is expected that a similar examination will be made of the Cleveland team in order to assure the public that the world's series will be aboveboard. — (A. and X.Z. Cable.)
