Ky.. Sept. 29. The Chicago baseball scandal recalled to old Douisville baseball fans yester day thai It was making an example of four players, Devlin, Hall, Craver and Nichols all members of the Louisville team of tho National league In 1S77. that effectively broke up KamblinK on baseball at that time and kept the game for more thun 40 years free from a bail name. In 187" Louisville was a member of the Fix-club National league of which Wm. A. Hurlbut was president. The team wan In first pluce and could lose more than half of its game and still win the pennant, old fans said today. It left on its final east ern trip and the team beiran to lose consistently. Devlin, slar pitcher, lost game after game, while errors by Hall, Craver and Nichols figured In other defeats. Suspicions aroused, leaicue authorities found tho players to be dealing with mysterious per sons by wire, employing a code. President Chas. K. Chase, of the Ixitilsvllle club, by playins one off titcainst the other, obtained the con fessions of tho nuartet. Thev were promptly suspended by the club and leaifue and never were allowed to plav another game in organized base ball. Although the four players pleaded many times Air reinstatement, their requests were refused because they were to be made an example of. it was then announced, and baseball wa.s to be played honemly.
