New York Mammoths owner Lester Moors is publicly demanding an investigation into alleged impropriety in the draft, calling a press conference during which he stated: "It is simply not reasonable to believe that the Seattle franchise was able to draft both their first baseman AND right fielder in this draft, which was supposed to redistribute available talent in a fair and competitive way. The fact that the Commissioner has been documented as present in Seattle days before the draft cannot be a coincidence. This must be investigated for the good of baseball."
Seattle owner Emil Sick was reached at his brewery, and responded: "Lester must be breathing air from the tailpipes of his cars again - this was all above board. Did Les mention that he could have drafted either of them before we had our first pick? Heck, our FIRST pick wasn't either of those guys, it was Dazzy Vance, and even after we took Gehrig with our second pick, he had two more picks before we took Ruth. There are 14 other teams in the league, too, and they had their chances. Les will just have to explain to that darling daughter of his that he blew it."
The Commissioner was unavailable for comment. Reporters calling his office were rebuffed by his secretary in a way that made them feel dizzy in a good way.
