Oil man who had a hand in the crooking of the national game should die an outcast in the gutter, despised by the potter's field men who bury him, It would be no more thun they deserved.

tlio Same Fate. The baseball fan who patronizes semi-pro or other games openly participated in by men who have brought the national sport into disrepute and cast a cloud over its honesty merits the fate of a Chase for helping to encourage crookedness. We are not exaggerating in these statements. The effective penalty imposed upon Craver, Hill, Devlin and Nichols in the 70s, which kept the game clean for more than 40 years, was not their being dropped from baseball and forced to turn to other means of making living. It was the ostracism that followed them to their graves and made them anathema even in the society of professional thieves.

To impose a definite penalty on baseball crooks and then have the public forgive and forget when it is worked out, would be nothing less than an incentive to a repetition of the crime.

He was a credit to the game. It did much for him and he did something for it In return. He was a high-class baseball man. He was not alone clean and honest himself, he had enough character to imprint these qualities upon the The public got a higher and better opinion of baseball because of Matty. What influence he had upon other players is merely conjecture, but surely it was very great.

Probably more has been written in praise of Matty than any other player. Hut, by my soul, I believe the highest praise of all was reserved for the last. It came from the lips of his doctor: "He has fought a great fight," said the medical man.
