The Amatuer Commission opened a drive to stop tampering as teams seek reinforcements from contracted players. At a Travelers league meeting, Ingle Publishing’s team was fined 34 dollars for past infringements tied to the Mick Hart case, while a bid to eject the Eagles from the City league failed. Additional disclosures across City and Saturday leagues are promised as inquiries continue. Dick Mara, a transferred pitcher, received a clean bill, though questions arise over agreements with a Varizh league club. The commission notes tampering rules and potential investigations into other clubs.
