Cincinnati. Dec. 30.—B. B. Johnson, president of the Ameri can league, August Herrmann, president or the Cincinnati Na tional league club, and "Itube" Benton, were to hold a ooultr ejnee in Herrmann's office here today, which, it was expected would settle the question of Ben ton's'status and his right to pitch for the Cincinnati club. Chicago, Dec. 30.—Pitcher "Rube" Benton recently purchased by the Cin cinnati Nationals from St. Paul, will be barred from baseball if investiga tion reveals he was involved in the crooked world series of 1919. Com missioner Landis announced last night. Commissioner' Landis is investigating reports that Benton won a large sum of money betting on a tip that Cin cinnati would win. "As far as I know the deal of the Cincinnati club with the St. Paul club of the American association has not been closed," President Heydler said. "And 1 feel confident that it will not be consummated if the Cincinnati' club is advised that the majority of the league clubs do not favor Ben ton's return to the National leaguer. Pres. Heydler added that the Na tional league reserved the right to de cide what players wftre considered de sirable but refused to' reveal details of the basis for opposition to Benton's return. Broke Training Rules. General belief prevailed, however, that objections were based on the pitcher's alleged disregard of train ing rules when in the National league before connection of ))is name with the 1919 world series scandal and charges whTch he failed to sub stantiate that while with the Giants in 1919 he was ..offered a bribe by Buck Herzog to" "throw'' a game at the polo grounds. Benton called on the commissioner yesterday to inquire into lilS status and was told that there -was nothing in the commissioner's records at this time to prevent him from playing In organized, baseball. The commissioner, however, had started investigation into reports that Benton had knowledge of the "fixing" of the 1919 world series and when informed tonight that President Heydler of the National league had taken steps to bar i'.cnton as an unde sirable, the c(.p r/iiS£iioner said he, woull continue hij inquiry and prob ably would have a full report ready before the 11)23 season opened. Ruled 'Out of American. President Johnson of ,the American league previously had declared Ben* ton would not be permltte dto play in his league when several of' thfe American league club owtivn-s had sought the services of th© player from St. Paul. President Johnson said two1'players had made atllilaxits that Benton had told them he haii wpn a large sum of money on the lftia series, having re ceived advance information that the series had been fixed. Tlje information, Benton was al leged to have said, was obtained from Bill Burns and Jean Dubuc. Since then Benton has said that he had bet only $20 on Cincinnati to I win the series. The wager, he said, I was made with a Chicago fan, but that the bet had not yet been paid. He said after he saw the first ne was positive Cincinnati would win and this belief was further strength ened when Dubuc, a former pitcher if ihe Detroit Americans,' had tipped him off that Cincinnati would win the title. I Dropped by Giants. Benton was dropped by the New Vork Nationals in thp middle of the reason of 1922, ostensibly for failure to observe training rules. After he joined the St. Paul club, Benton pitched winning ball the result being that his performance attracted a numT ber of the major league owners. Benton previously was involved in a National league controversy when he accused Buck Herzog then ager of the Cincinnati club of asking him (Benton) to throww ball games. Herzog denied the charge. After President Heydler conducted an in vestigation, the case was dropped, with the result that Herzog vas ab solved from guilt and given his un conditional release. Benton Undesirable. New York. Dec. 30—Expressing the opinion that Rube Benton, former New York and Cincinnati pitcher,, now with St. Paul is an undesirable player, John A. Heydler. presiQent of the National league today, indicated that Benton would not be permitted to re-enter the league with the Cin cinnati club.
