fore the jurors, scheduled to Rive testimony which officials in the state's
attorney's office tonight , said "undoubtedly would throw considerable
light on the scandal in the 1919 world s scries and might prove of a sen
sational character."
Joe Gedeon. second baseman of the St. Louis American league club,
and Arnold Rothstcin of New York, are the men who are expected to
testify. , . , ,
Gedeon arrived today from, his home in Sacramento in response to

ncy and not allowed to see anyone.
It was announced that the St. Louii-
player would not be allowed to tes
tify until he signed an immunity
waiver and that he had agreed to do
this.
The state's attorney's' office an
nounced that it had positive informa
tion that Roth stein would reach here
tomorrow and that he also would
sign an immunity waiver before go
ing before the jurrors.
Ban Johnson also probably will
tettify. . v i
The names of Gedeon and1 Roth
stein have been brought before the
jury by several witnesses, state of
ficials said, but it was not until last
week that Gedeon's identity was
publicly revealed. He had until then,
been referred to in announcements
made by the state's attorney's office,
merely as "a St. Louis player."
The jury has been told that Ged
eon attended all the 1919 world ser
ies games and was intimately as
sociated with some of the Chicago
White Sox nlayers, against whom
true bills have been voted, according
to state officiate. After last Tues

Johnson admitted to newspaper men
that Gedeon's name had been
brought before the jury and later
ht went to St. Louis for what was
then believed to be a conference with
Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis
Browns, over basej ball reorganiza

ion said he went to see Gedeon and,
finding the player was in Sacramen
to, telephoned him that he must
come hereinimediately to testify.

Arrangements were made yester

between Harry Reed and , ''Battling"

night -of Monday, November 8.
, Kid" Schlaifer of Omaha and
Jack Leahy of Wjnner, S. D., are
going to have It out in the main
event, a scheduled 10-round affair.
The former scrapper has been breei
ing along over his opponents as
fast as they come, but when the lo
cal welterweight starts on Jiis 10
frame trip with the Dakota battler,
he is likely to meet a stumbling
block, as Leahy is a tough nut to
crack.
Jake Isaacson, in charge of arrang
ing the show, expects to have two
or three good preliminary' events
for local followers of the slam-bang
game. . ;
The heavyweightsare being passed
up here, for the present, at least.
George Lamson is in Walthill round
ing into condition, and is not keen
to engage in any fistic encounters
with any of the big fellows until he
is in trim. . It is doubtful if Andy
