of the conversations between Cobb, Speaker and Landis, and the end result, Landis' reaction surprised me. However, I think he felt that since their careers were basically over, that it was in the best interest of the game to gloss over it and move on - this scandal was not nearly as public as the Black Sox deal. I also think that Cobb and Speaker's ending up in Philadelphia immediately thereafter was a direct result of their indiscretions.
