STATE PLACES CONFIDENCE IN BURNS’ STORY Former Pitcher Expected to Reveal Inside Points of 1919 Series Plot. DEFENSE BATTLES HARD DEFENSE LOSES POINT. CHICAGO, July 19.—The •'Black Sox” were under contract when they are alleged to have sold ©wt the 1919 world series. It was testified at their trial today. Harry Grabiner, secretary of the White Sox baseball clnb, told Jurors the players were under contract from the beginning: of the playinif season until the end of the world series. This was a blowr to the defense’s contention thafc the players accused of having conspired to throw the games, were not under contract after the regular playing season expired. DONOVAN TO TESTIFV. CHICAGO, Jnly 19.—A sensation was sprung at the ‘‘Black Sox’* scandal trial here today when William (Wild Bill) Donovan, manager of the Philadelphia National League club, appeared as a ‘"surprise” witness for the prosecution. It was announced Donovan would corroborate the testimony of Hill Burns, the State's star witness and former scandal plotter.

CHICAGO, July 19—The inside story of the alleged “fixing” of the 1919 world's series was to be revealed today at the trial of the former White Sox bail players and alleged gamblers when Bill Burns, erstwhile White Sox pitcher, took the stand. Burns has been granted immunity from prosecution, the State announced, and was expected to give full details of the plot. Attorneys for the State have made It evident that they are counting on the testimony of Burns to “cinch” their case. Burns Is alleged to have been one of the chief agents between the gamblers who sought to make a fortune by “buying” the series and the players whose greed for gold, the State alleges, led them , to sell out to the plotters. Another witness whose testimony was expected to be taken today was Byron Bancroft Johnson, president of rhe American League. Johnson was io be questioned regarding technical matters affecting the conduct of the world’s series. It Is likely that he also will be asked regarding investigations be Is said t* have made of reports of corruption that followed the playing of the 1919 series. The defense late ytstertlay emphasized for the attention of Jury the point that the regular contract season for th White Sox had expired before the world's series was played. The Indictments charge a violation of contract, but attorneys for the defense brought out that the world's series Is played under the orders of th>* national commission and that technically t'ao players are not under contract. CONTEND RESERVE CLAUSES COVER IT. Attorneys for the State are expected to contend that the reserve clauses of the baseball contracts cover the world's series period and to Introduce evidence showing that the players were paid by the White Sox owners for playing In the series. Harry Grabiuer, secretary of the White Sox, is a witness who was expected to be called today In this connection. , . „ . One of the biggest points to be made by the defense is the claim that the piavers are not guilty of wrong-doing under the law It will be emphasized that there is no law to compel i workingman to work his best or nothing on the statute books to force a ball player to play his best. The fact that the so-called master minds, who furnished the money supposed to have been used to buy out the Chicago players have not been haled into court is expected by the defense to have a reaction on the jury favorable to the “B'.aok Sox.” The defense has already showed es forts will be made to prove the allegation that Charles A. Comiskey, “old Roman of baseball" and owner of the White Sox, knew his players had sold out shortly after the 1919 series and per mit ted them to play lat s aaon, until the expose that rocked the baseball world, KID FANS HEAR IDOLS FLAYED. Baseball fans, male and female, with a liberal sprinkling of small boys, jammed the courtroom late Monday to hear the opening of the trial. It was an especially hard session for the smalt boy fan to hear his idols excoriated as traitors to the game and their employers and the public. Assistant States Attorney Gorman •west through each deal in detail, telling of the disappointment of the play-rs when their “graft" money was not forthcoming. Be said the imbroglio grew to such alarming proportions that most of the gamblers and hall players began double crossing, until neither side knew what the other would do. “As to the first three counts in this indictment, no evidence will be submitted," said Attorney Gorman. Th;*so counts deal with the alleged swindling of C. K. Xims. White Sox fan, who lost money on the series. “The day before the world series opened another defendant In this ease, Abe Attell. former prize fighter, came with Hal Chase to a New York hotel where Bill Burns, former White S>x pitcher, was stopping. They told Burns that Arnold Rothstein had decided to ■go In’ and arranged with Burns to go to Cincinnati and tell the players Uothsteln would finance the conspiracy. *IOO.OOO WAS TO BE THE “I‘RICE.” “The State will endeavor to show that the Levi brothers and Zeixer, defendants in the trial, and Abe Attell occupied Room 600 In the Slnton notel in Cincinnati, and that the ball players were at the same hotel. When Burns arrived in Cincinnati Attell was Introduced as Roth stein's right-hand man. It was agreed that *IOO,OOO was to be put up and that *20.000 was to be paid after each game. “The players decided to lose the first two games. They said they wanted to win one game for Cicotte, to put him in right for his next year's contract. “The first game was piayed the next day, and. according to the prearranged plans, Cincinnati won. Burns went to Attell for the money, but Attell said he would have it the next day. The next game was also lost to Cincinnati and Burns and the players became worried about their money. Attell complained that everybody seemed to know the games were “fixed' and that the odds were dropping. He gave Burns *IO,OOO. “Before leaving Chicago for Cincinnati there was another conference. Cicotte went back to his room and found SIO,OOO in bills under his pillow Jackson, after the fourth game, got *5 000 tad that same night Williams got *5,000” Charles A Comiskc-y, president of the Chicago Americans, was the first witness called Monday Over objections of the defense. Comiskey gave a short history of his baseball career, from the time ho broke into the game at Milwaukee in 1876 to the day his championship team was wrecked by the indictment and subsequent suspension of seven of his stars. Mr. Gorman asked Comiskey if he knew of the general reputation and Integrity of the players in the American League prior to Sept. 10, 1919, and the defense again objected. Attorney Benedict Short contended Comiskey as a stockholder could not testify to the reputation of his own club. COMISKEY TELLS OF COMMISSION. Judge Friend finally ruled that the reputation question could be answered and Mr. Comiskey stated that the reputation of the players was “first-class." In response to questions by Mr. Gorman, Comiskey told of the membership of the baseball commission In 1919 and of Us government of basebalL “Do joa know who, ia 1218 and Ist riba ted

French Davis Cup Net Athlete Is War Veteran NEW YORK, July 19.—Andre Gobert, French tennis star, who will compete for the Davis Cup this summer, esn, like his countryman, Georges Carpentler, recount thrilling episodes of the war. Robert, who was an aviator, was forced to make a hurried landing during one engagement In an early offensive. Descending from a great height he was uncertain whether he had landed In French or enemy territory until, extricating hiro- ! self from the wreckage, he was confronted i by an English officer, who said: “Never mind, Gobert, wo will both live to meet at Wimbledon again.” The speaker was Anthony Wilding, fa- | mous Australians court star, who was killed In action a few weeks later. | It Is not generally known that Laurentz, Gobert s teammate is handicapped by the loss of one eye. In a match several years ago a hard smash from the racquet of Gobert fctt Laurentz In the eye, making Its removal necessary in order to save the other eye. Sparing use i of his back hand stroke and a preference to run around the ball is declared to be | the only noticeable evidence of the han- ; dicap in Laurenfz's play. He is a Davis ; cup veteran and has won both singles and doubles honors In France. TENNIS POSTPONEMENT.

July ID.—Why Is not Chuck Wiggins, Indianapolis light heavyweight, included among the boxers Eastern tight promoters have selected as likely opponents for Georges Carpentier, European holder of the light heavyweight title ? New Orleans fight fans were asking themselves this question today', after seeing the Indianapolis speed merchant hand Martin Burke, heavyweight pride of the South, a terrific lacing In fifteen rounds last night. A house that threatened attendance records for the city turned out to see Burke humble the Indianapolis scrapper, but much to the surprise of the fans Martin finished on the receiving end of a clever surprise party. Wiggins defeated Frank Carbone, Pittsburgh, in a fast battle here a short time ago. and local promoters made haste to sign him for a return scrap with the best the South had to offer in his division. Burke worked hard for the scrap and his supporters were confident that he would gain the honors over the Hoosier, but last night's affair had not passed the early staged when it was easy to see who was the better man in the ring. Wiggins last night was in great shape, even better than when he beat Carbonne, and lie pranced around the arena like a lightweight, bouncing lefts and rights off linrke's body, almost at will. Local proomters are crowding Wiggins and his manager. Jack Druly, with offers to return here shortly and meet one of the top-notchers. Tommy Gibbons and Harry Greb being the ones most mentioned.

REAL TEST FOR GOLF EXPERTS Short Qualifying: Round in Open Classic Necessitates Top Play. BAD GOLF AT START. COLUMBIA COUNTRY CLUB, CHEVY CHASE, Mo., July 19.—Wobbly golf characterized the qualifying round piayed by Jock Hutchison and Abe Mitchell in the open tournament preliminaries here today: Mitchell made bis eighteen In sev-enty-five and Hutchison in seventysix. ,Toe Kirkwood, Australian open champion, took a seventy-eight. J. Wood 9’l.itt scored eighty-three. By ROBERT lIARLOW, International News Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July 19.-America’s greatest golf championship began on the links of the Columbia Country Club today when one-half of the field of 160 experts went away in the testing eighteen holes qualifying round. The other players will qualify tomorrow. Frofessionnls regard this as the most exacting'qualifylng round ever held in a championship, as no player can afford to go badly on more than two holes and hope to be among the seventy-two players who will qualify for the championship proper. Jock Hutchinson, winner of the British open title; Abe Mitchell, the longhitting English professional, and Joe Kirkwood. Australian open champion, are the favorites, but with such a fast field, many considered the affair a lottery, with any one of tweutypiayers a possible winner. The low scores in practice made it seem certain that nothing worse than a 78 would qualify. Wagers were made at even money that this figure would be required, and that 6> would fie bettered before tiie championship ends. Walter Hagen, Kirkwood and Churchill were the three most prominent players to participate in today's qualifying rojjnd. Weather conditions were good when the first pair got under way. Joe Kirkwood, the Australian open champion, was the first r>-a! star to start and a gallery lot 300 trailed behind. Jock Hutchison and Ab- Mitchell were paired and were | followed by 500. j The Professional Golfers’ Association , lias voted a formal protest against un i eighteen-hole qualifying round and re questing that in the future it be ex- | tended to thirty-six holes. 5 No player breathes easily until he gets 1 over the Harding hole. This hole —the fifth, was opened by the P-vsident last i spring and offers the hardest 560 yards of golf in the eeountry, experts say. Jim Barnes, Pelham (N\ Y.) pro, plays best when he has a re 1 clover blossom in the corner of his mouth. The composite score for four days of practicing reached by adding the lowest bulls for each hole, is 47, which is I twenty three strokes under par. Tough Breaks SWAMPSt’OTT, Bass..

Corbett Unable to Give Carpentier Much Rating for General Cleverness By TAD. NEW YORK. July 19.—Jim Corbett didn’t know whether to keep on laughing or, crying when the writer saw him recently. Jim was thinking of the stories he had read about the Dempsey-Carpentler fight. “I must be blind,” he said, with a perplexed look. “You know I was at the ringside, but on the level I didn't see half the things those experts wrote about. The stories about the marvelous footwork, the lightning-like thrusts and the graceful dodging—say, how do they get that way ? “There was nothing In that whole fight that showed either man one bit clever. Carpentier Is a pretty good fighter, but I wouldn't say that ho was clever. I'd call Griffo, the original Jack Dempsey, Tommy Ryan and Jack McAuliffe clever, but I couldn’t honestly say that Carpentier classes with those fellows. . “Carpentier has the fastest right hand 1 I've ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of good I rights In my time. But he showed uoth- | ing at all in the clever line. The fellow l is a cat. He watches for openings and | unless his opponent Is quick as a flash | or has an Iron Jaw, G-rpentler will give him a lot of trouble, j "Dempsey didn't shyw me any cleverness at all. The stories I read of the fight were full of tail of speed and cleverness, but I didn’t zee any of it. ! “Dempsey is mors like Jeffries than i any other heavy I’re ever seen. He is a Vdg, strong fello n, with a pile driver ! punch and an iron Jaw. They talk about matching him with Brennan or Gibbons. That would be murder. Right now there 1 isn't a man in the world who has a chance with him. He's too young and strong ; for them. His body blows will stop any \of them in a few rounds.” Monarchs Work Hard to Trim A.s in Fourth Game The Kansas City Monarchs had s chance to even the count with the A. B. C.s by winning today's game at IVash--1 ingtnn Park, and they were determined to slip Taylor's athletes the same dose they passed out yesterday, when Williams and Latimer wefe pounded for a totnl of 12 hits and 7 runs, while Cr.awI ford was holding the locals to 5 hits , and 3 runs. The A. B. C.s couldn't find their batting eye yesterday, but thev were coni fident that they could get back on the right track today and hold to the advantage they gained by winning two j games from the Monarchs Sunday. The Monarchs grabbed their lead in i the third inning yesterday, after the A. B. Cs had started the initial round ! with a marker, and they kept out in front from then on. The A s tried hard to rally in the eighth, but were cut down after one runner had been sent around the circuit. Stars Come Through in Rhode Island Court Play PROVIDENCE, R. 1., July 19.—The outstanding stars in the Rhode Island State tennis championships, pitted against j comparatively weak opponents, came safely through the first two rounds of i the tournament at the Agawam Hunt club without greatly exerting themselves. The mot notable player to default was lehtya Kumagao. Japan, whose failure to arrive in time for the singles resulted in his elimination in the third round in favor of ('apt. 11. C. McCarthy of the Cambridge University team, England. Kumagae expects to be here in time for the doubles. Would Trade Vaughn BROOKLYN, July 19.—Jim Vaughn, j Cub pitcher, is on the market. "Vaughn probably will not be worth much to us after serving his thirty-day suspension," said President Veeck Monlay, "therefore we are willing to trade ’ him if w e can get what we think will j help our club.”

INDIANS AGAIN IN BAT SLUMP They Get Their Hits, but They Don’t Hit With Men on Base. MILWAUKEE, July 19—Indians and Brewers were slated for another skirmish today and the slipping Boosters were hopeful that something would happen to change their luck. With the 9-to-2 defeat handed them by the Brewers Monday, the Tribesmen suffered their sixth straight loss and the players apparently are beginning to wUt nnder the strain. Llngrel, a mediocre twlrler. downed tha Indians yesterday without much effort. They got their hits, but they didn’t connect when hits meant runs. On the other hand the Brewers slammed the ball cH over the lot at opportune times and they quickly ran up a run total. Two horaa runs came In the first Inning and tha Brewer fans howled In glee. Petty hurled for the Hoosier* and ho was no puzzle. The locals just picked ’em out and whaled away. The fact that*, the Indians are slumping again right ' after they staged a winning streak is beginning to have an ill effect and thera Is danger of the players’ daubers falling. Poor pitching has been given as the chief cause for the team's downfall, but it must be said also that the club has not hit up to standard. In the last three games the Indians have scored three runs, a very poor achievement la these days of the lively ball. Slipping Fast INDIANAPOLIS. AB. R. IT. O. A. E.
