Gamblers Out to
Frame Brooklyn
New York District Attorney to
Prohe Story "Tip" 1920
Series May Be "Framed.
Xew Yosk, Sept. 29. District At
torney Lewis of Kings county an
nounced today he would start an
immediate investigation of a report
that a clique of gamblers plan to
bribe members of the Brooklyn na
tionals purposely to lose games to
their American .league opponents in
th'e fouling world's series.
In a telegram to State's Attorney
Maclay Hoyne of Chicago where
a grand jury investigating cha'rges
that thd 1919 series was fixed, has
indicted eight White Sox players,
Mo Lewi said he was acting on the
following statement apperhig in a
New York evening paper yesterday.
"Information which has been gath
ered by-officials tended to indicate
that the same clique of gamblers
which is alleged to have lixed the
1919 series, have made plans to have
Brooklym'throw' the coming 'scries
to the Cleveland Indians."
After sending his telegram to Chi
cago, Mr. Lewis telephoned Charles
L, Lbbetts,' president ot the Urook
lyn base ball club, to have all mem
bers of the team call at his office m
order that he might question each
nersona Iv.
While itwas stated that club of
ficials had no direct evidence of any
attempt to bribe Brooklyn' players,
Mr. tbbetts told toe district attor
ney that if any were concerned, he
would suspend them at once.
Comiskey Praises
Work of Grand Jury
Chicago, Sept. 29. Mr. Comiskey
last night made' the following state
ment to The Associated Press:
"The consideration which the
grand jury gave to this case should
be greatly appreciated by the gen
eral public. The "Hon. Charles A.
McDonald chief justice, and the fore-
! man- of the grand jury; HarryBrig-
nam, ana his associates wno so dili
gently strived to save and make
America's great game' the clean sport
which it is, are to be commended in
no, uncertain terms by all sport fol
lowers, in spite of what happened
today. And, thank God, it did hap
pen. Forty-four years of base ball
endeavor have convinced me more
than ever that it is a wonderful gaime
worth keeping clean.
"I would rather, close . my" ball
park than send nine .men on the
field -with one of them holding a
dishonest thoueht toward clean base
ball the game which John McGraw
and I went, around the rworld to
sjiow to. the people on the other side.
We are far from through, vet
We have the nucleus of another
championship team with the remain
der of the old world's championship
team." . '
He turned the veterans. Eddie and.
John Collins, Kay bchaJk, Urban
Fabcr, Dick Kerr, Eddie Murphy,
Nemo Licbold and Amos Strunk,
and declared that, with the addition
of Hodge, Falk, Jordan alnd Mc

and win the championship yet."

Two Gamblers Indicted
In Probe of Fixed Games
- ' (Continued From Page One.)
from his club after President rfeyd
ler had told him Magee had con
fessed that Chase bribed him to
throw games. He said he had heard
of many other gambling activities
of Chase's before the Magee. case.
Zimmerman was dropped from the
New York team, McGraw issaid
to have told the jury, because in
formation had come to the New
York, manager that the . third, base
man offered Benny Kauff ?500 to
help throw games.
"I believe Kauff was innocent,"
said McGraw, "but I got rid of Chase
and- Zimmerman, even though I
knew it would seriously injure my
team, because I didn't want such
men on the club.
Heydler's testimony was largely
the.interview he gave newspaper men
Sunday night, telling of his private
investigation, how Comiskey had
told him a vear ago he suspected
some of the White Sox players, and
how he and William Veeck, presi
dent of the Clucajro Cubs,- had ob
tained a confession from L?e Magee.
, Amusing Incident.
"One incident in Magee's case is
amusing, saitf Hcydler, for while
I think he tried to throw this game.
he really helped win it.
"In July. 1918, Magee was play
ing second for Cincinnati against
Boston. He came, to lyit with two
out and hit an easy grounder whicli
took a bad bounce and he was safe.
He was ordered toMcal second and
arr.bled down. When half way to
second, he stopped, but Art Wilson
made -a wild throw and Magee had
to go on to third. He might have
scored with the tying run, I think,
if he had tried, but he didn't. Then
Rotich knocked a home run. Mafie
iiiiu tu tunic hi wiui uic tying run
and Rousch's run, of course, won
the arame. '
Heydler is said to have told the
jcry that Magee confessed to him
and Veeck that he took part in the
tnruwinar of several tranies.
According1 to an official in the1
state's attorney's office, the names
of two brothers in Des Moines have
been brought before the jury. They
are. said to have placed large bets on
the world's series and to have been
tipped that it was "fixed."
Further indictments 'against gam
blers may be expected within a day
or-two,it was said.
The jury will not consider base
ball at its session tomorrow, but
probably will resume the investiga
tion the next .day.
Probe New V'ork Reports.
New York. Sent. 29. White a
Chicago grand jury was mvestiirat-
ing charges that the 1919 world's
series was "fixed," New York au
thorities today started an inquiry
into reports that the same clique of
gamblers planned a crooked series
for 1920.
Actinir on a newspaper story that
members of the Brooklyn Nationals,
winner ot their league pennant, were
to be bribed to lose to the Cleveland
Indians, District Attorney Lewis of
Kinars county summoned all mem
bers of the local team before him
Friday. At the same time, he tele
graphed to Chicago for any evidence
available there.
"If there is anything wronff with
this world's series, we are going to
find it out before it is too- late,"
said Mr. Lewis. "I intend to investi
gate fully, certain ugly rumors which
have come to my attention. I feel
this is a duty I owe to the followers
of base ball. It the games. are to
be on the level, we will establish
hat fact and if there is crookedness
we will prosecute the crooks to the
limit. - . !
The district attortiey was prom
ised full co-operation by Charles H.
Ebbets, president o f the Brooklyn
club, who said he would personally
request his players to visit the dis
trict attorney without the formality
of subpoenaes. While expressing
confidence in the integrity of his
players, Mr. Ebbets added that if
any were found to be involved they
would be suspended. v

are not,' and hung up the receiver.

"He said he didn't care what I got,
that if I got what I ought to get for
crabbing the game of the kids, I
wouldn't be telling him my story. I
don't think the judge likes me.
"Before we broke up, I 'climbed'
