O'Connell case to be reviewed at winter meet
New York Oct 28 Commissioner Landis will be asked at the annual Winter meetings of the big leagues to consider the case of Jimmy OConnell former Giant outfielder placed on the ineligible list after the 1924 season. The move is not being pushed by anyone connected with the New York club. OConnell was the goat for many in the league and faces renewed questions over alleged involvement in a bribery attempt. Officials say he acted innocently and was a green youth used in practical jokes.
