Rumor has it that there has been proposed, and will be presented to the League Directors, a black list, consisting of the names of some fifteen or twenty suspected players. It is not the hope of proving these men guilty which induces the preparation of the list, but to put them on their good behavior and under watch. If it be publicly announced through the press in the official proceedings of the League that Messrs., Craver, Blong, Battin, McGeary, Force, Hines, Glenn and others have been suspected of overstepping the prohibition bonds drawn around them by the League, it will serve to bring them under watchful eyes and give them less chance than they had before to “act up” if they should be players of that sort.
