Chicago, . Sept. 25. Indictments
against eight and possibly 10 major
league players, based on charges of
conspiracy t6 defraud may be the
result of the Cook county grand
jury's investigation of alleged crook
edness by the players in last fall's
world series, it was indicated today
by Henry. H. Brigham foreman "of
the jury.
"There sfems to be more than suf
ficient evidence to support such
charges.V (Mr. Brigham declared.
In connection with 15righani's an
nouncement that ArnoldRothstein,
New York turfman and chief owner
of the Havre de Grace ra:e track
had been subpoenaed, it was leawiea i
v4oday that President Hi. If. TohnsJn,
of the American league, has been in
New York for twn d.ivs invesMcaf-
ing reports involving New York men
' in the alleged plano "fix" the 1919
worlds series so Cincinnati would
win and enable the gamblers on th
"inside" to win large sums.
Subpoena Abe Attell
Besides Rothstein, subpoenacs ahjo
will be issued. Brigham announced,
' tor William Burns, former pitcher
of the Chicago American ,a1id Cincin
nati National league. teams; Abe At
tell, former featherweight champion,
and several well known sportsmen.

that the-' grand jury was "getting
plenty of evidence elsewhere."
Among th leading witnesses ex
pected to appear when the grand
jury resumes its investigation next
Tuesday are Presidents Johnson
and Heydler. The latter was in De
troit yesterday tracing reports of an
alleged attempt to "fix" a recent
game here between Chicago and
Philadelphia National league teams.
Heydler said he expected to'go to
Cleveland and Cincinnati in search
of evidence and expected to arrive
here Tuesday.
Get Dope on Chase.
Members of the grand jury, it was
indicated, wish to question hiiro
about the true- reasons for the dis
charge last fall of "Ileinie" Zimmer
man and Hal Chase from the New
York Giants. Chase has been men
tioned in connection with various
angles of the present investigation
by grand jury witnesses.
According to one version of the
alleged "fixing" of the series, as
published in the Chicago Tribune
today, Rothstein chased Abe Attell
from his office when approached
with the object of securing his backr
injf in forming a gambling syndi
cate to De based on lixing ot cer
tain White Sox players. The story
said" the betting ring was formed
without Rothstein's aid.
On account of the far-reaching
ramifications of the investigation
the grand jury will be kept in ses
sion after its time of service ends
on September 30. ,
Players who may be indicted will
be charged with ' conspiracy to de
fraud -and with obtaining money
through the operation of a con
fidence game.
Clyne Aids Probe. ,
These are a few of the day's de
velopments in the jury investiga
tioru Others are: .
Charles F. ClyrSe, United States
district attorney jumped into the
investigation of the interstate activ
ities of the base ball pool, with pros
pect of prosecufion for misuse of
the mails in promoting a lottery.
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".

"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
