Henry Brigham, foreman of the jury, issued this statement: "We are getting a nvis of real evidence. We are convinced that crooked work has been done, but we believe it was confined to compara- lively few players and is the result of the pollution of these nlayers by an unscrupulous gang of profes-! SionaJ gamblers, the saiiYe gang that has crucified , horse racing, the kind that has about killed the boxing game. 1 Will Fix Blame. ''The evidence warrants this jury to indict aixi thereby bring to trial those guilty of the crime." These developments and scores of unconfirmed rumors brought the scandal investigation to an apex of interest today. ' It is believed the probe hasffone so far that responsibility for the alleged dishonesty in connection with the game will, be definitely iixed in a short time. Mr. Clvne said he would direct his attack against a "million dollar". base ball pool. "I am told that at least one of these concerns,'! he said, "is doing share the troubles of our husbands. We will do our share f the work and we want above all to be real women.1 Miss Mace said the 200 women on the Tainui was the first large "draft" to leave Engmjid in search "of mates. "There are few marriage able men in England, she said. ".Most of those who could get mar ried don't want to burden them selves with a wife. v They find life too easv as it is.
