Baseball Bans Two for Life in Scandal

Two baseball officials face life bans after a bribery and game throwing probe by National Association president George Trautman. Bernard DeForge, pitcher-manager of Reidsville North Carolina, admitted taking $300 to throw a game. Ed Weingarten of Florence South Carolina and Leaksville, North Carolina denied involvement. The Winston Salem May 14 game prompted the inquiry, leading to DeForge’s guilty finding, Weingarten’s denial, and a replay of the final portion of the contested game.
