WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—That the O'Connell bribery case was not a closed issue and that the investigation would be continued until every single angle had been run aground, and every culprit discovered and barred from organized baseball, was the emphatic statement by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis today. The commissioner minced no words and employed no niceties of speech in discussing the situation. "It is a dirty mess," he declared, "and I would be remiss in my duty if I would permit the thing to die now. I am convinced that there are other Giant players. Who they may be, I don't know, and right now there is no evidence which would point to them. But I'll find out and when I do they will be cleaned out of baseball without mercy and without compunction." Two questions were put to the commissioner. The first one was this: "On what evidence did you give" Dearth of Tickets at Park Opens Way for Ticket Speculators WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—Hundreds of government agents and metropolitan police descended early this afternoon on the ticket scalpers who have been reaping a rich harvest here the last 49 hours in selling seats for the world's series at prices far in advance of the box office rates. Dearth of tickets at the ballpark opened the way for the operations of the speculators and they were "cleaning up" until noon today when the bureau of internal revenue and police headquarters issued orders simultaneously for the arrest of all scalpers. The first arrest was made shortly after noon. Chas Barnett was taken into custody in his ticket agency on Pennsylvania ave. Tickets found in the place were seized as evidence and a man who had just purchased one was taken along by police as a witness. Barnett was given a quick arreignment. He gave his address as Philadelphia. He posted $100 collateral and was warned that he would be fined $100 for every ticket he sold. The second ticket speculator to be arrested by the police was Leon Cantor of Brooklyn, N. Y. He was required to post $100 collateral for his later appearance in court and warned to stop selling tickets for more than their face value. Reports reached police headquarters shortly after Cantor was arrested that scalpers had stopped selling tickets, but police were instructed to watch for any change in their base of operations. Some argument arose during the afternoon between the revenue agents and police as to the interpretation of the law under which arrests are being made. The government said that the scalpers were complying with the law by stamping on the tickets they sold the price they were sold for and their names. Police however maintained that any price increases constituted violation of the law and went on with their campaign. The government agents moved against the speculators under the federal revenue law which provides that all ticket brokers must be registered and licensed by the treasury so that the internal revenue bureau may collect taxes on their profits at the rate of 50 per cent of the amount realized above the face value of the ticket. Police received orders to arrest all scalpers under a municipal law which makes it an offence punishable by a fine of $100 to sell a ticket for more than the price marked on it. A round up of wealbers was expected before nightfall. except in an emergency. Harris also announced that Earl McNeely would play in centerfield, instead of Nemo Liebick. Harris said that he did not expect very much hitting in the series games in Washington, due to the fact that the entire playing field would be surrounded with seats for spectators, making it necessary for the batters to face the throngs in the outfield. Frankle Prisch, Pep Young and the other Giants this afternoon, engaged in the final practice but refused to discuss the baseball scandal or their alleged participation in the attempt to oblige the Phillies. Young was the only one of the three who would talk about it at all and his remarks were limited to declaring that "O'Connell is a liar" because of his charge that others beside himself and Dolan were implicated in the bribe plot. Hughey Jennings was in charge of the team, John McGraw not having arrived from New York. He is expected in the morning. It was announced at the stadium that Ban Johnson, president of the American League, would not be there for the series, as he is in Chicago. It will be the first world series he has missed for more than 20 years. Among the old time Griff men who arrived in town today for the series was Cliff Blankenship, one time catcher for the Nationals, who went into Kansas more than a score of years ago to look over Walter Johnson. Blankenham reported Johnson D. K. and brought him on to Washington to join the Senators. The couple were married in New York in 1819, a few days after Mrs. Fairbanks had obtained a decree from the screen star who later married Mary Pickford. Mrs. Evans is a daughter of Daniel Sally, international famous as a "cotton king," following old sensational corner of the cotton market 20 years ago. Speech in discussing the situation. "It is a dirty mess," he declared, "and I would be remiss in my duty if I would permit that there are other Giant players. Who they may be, I don't know, and right now there is no evidence which would point to them. But I'll find out and when I do they will be out of baseball without mercy and without compunction." Two questions were put to the commissioner. The first one was this: "On what evidence did you give Frisch and Young and Kelly a clean bill of health after their names had been mentioned in the O'Connell confession? "I accepted their absolute denial as the truth," he said. "Lacking other evidence, it was the only thing to do. Implication in a case of this kind in baseball is suicide and I would be unfair to these men and to baseball if I should hold them guilty without definite evidence." The other question was: Do you think there were other men implicated, other than O'Connell and Dolan? Here again the commissioner was emphatic. "I certainly do," he replied.
