Burns Reveals Further Facts in Series Plot

Former Pitcher Resumes Tale of Sox Crookedness in 1919 Title Play. DOUBLE-CROSSING GAME CHICAGO, July 20.—8i1l Burns, confessed baseball renegade, told the Jury today the tale of how “sure thing" gamblers bought the 1919 world series. Burns, former big league pitcher, resumed the stand against the seven former White Sox player* with whom lie said be plotted to deliver the 1919 classic to gamblers. The witness, admitting he was the gobetween, turned State's evidence and continued his story of the shame of baseball that year. The State's star witness was led Into court by the armed guard of deputy sheriffs which Is constantly with him. The detail stays with Burns at night in his hiding place. Burns chewed his chewing gum fiercely as he further unfolded the tale that rocked the sport world. Fans leaned forward in their seats to catch every word that was being said about the men they once worshipped. STAR PITCHER WAS “FOR SALE.” They heard the allegation that Eddie Clcotte ran around New York wiji a “for sale" tag on the world's series and how gamblers made the purchase with a promise of SIOO,OOO. He recounted how ‘‘Kid” Gleason, the venerable White Sox manager, interferred with the “fixed" series when little Hick Kerr was put in the pitcher s box In the third world series game instead of Eddie Clcotte. Cicotte had agreed to lose the game. Burns testified, and the gamblers, led by Attel. who, the witness said, called himself “Abie the Agent of Rotbstein. the gam bid.” placed large sums of money on Cincinnati to win. TbU money was lost, said Burns when Kerr went to the box and pitched a shut out game Bitter quarrels between the gamblers and the players ensued, according to Burns, during which the players were accused of •double-crossing" the gamAttornevs for the State were jubilant todav over the testimony given by Burns. They considered his story of the alleged “fixing" of the series as a smashing blow at the defense. It was expected that Burns would conclude his direct testimony during the day and would be turned over to the defense for cross examination. It was evident the former big league twirler would be subject to a savage cross fire of questioning by the lawyers representing the defense. Burns in his testimony thus far has named Arnold Rotbstein. of New York; Abe Attell. former featherweight champion: William Maharg. of Philadelphia; a man named “Bennett," and himself as the principals in the plot. I.ate yesterday he identified “Bennett" as Havis Zel9er of Des Moines, lowa. Eddie Clcotte and “Chick” Gandll were named by Burns as the players with whom he “did business." Other former members of the Sox that ba named as participants in the plot were Risberg. Weaver and Feisch. It was considered significant that Bums made no mention of Joe Jackson. Attorneys for the State declared, however, that Jackson would be linked up by the testimony of other witnesses. “Before the third game I went to Abe Attell.” said Burns in renewing his testimony today. “I asked him for the $20,000 he agreed to pay for the first game“He said SIO,OOO was enough and that no more could be paid by Arnold Rothsteln, a New York gambler, as he had $300,900 out in bets. “Attell took me to a room where there were several gamblers. He lif'ed up n mattress and I took SIO,OOO which was underneath. The defense attorneys objected continuously as Burns tolu bis story. PLAYERS SrSPECT DOIBLE CROSS. “When I took the SIO,OOO, I told Attell, I didn’t think the players would accept It,” Burns continued. “I tried to get Bill Maharg to take it to them, but he would'nt, so I did. "As I went from the gamblers’ room to the players' room, I passed Kik Gleason, White Sox manager. ‘•Risberg. McMullin and other rlayers were in the room. Cicotte and Gandll came In later. “The players asked me If I had doubled crossed them. “I told them JIO.OoO was all I had. “I said I hadn't double crossed them at all, but brought all the money 1 could. “I gave them the money and asked about the game next day. “I told them Attell wanted them to win the third game necause the odds were going against Chicago. "He wanted small odds so they could bet on Cincinnati to win the series." “When you first met Cicotte In New Y’ork what conversation did you have?” State's Attorney Gorman asked. This question led to bitter objection by defense attorneys, who held the State had no right to ask questions of conversation held in New Y'ork. A recess was declared while the lawyers and Judge Friend argued the point. The judge upheld the contention of the defense “When did yon arrive in Chicago?” Gorman asked. “GOING SAME WAT," GANDIL ANSWERS. “On the morning of the third game." Burns answered. “1 met Attell in the lobby of the Sherman Hotel, lie asked me to find out about the third game.” Q. —V'hat did you do? A.—l called Gandll up and asked him about the third game. Q. —What did be say? A.—He said it was going the same way as the other two. Q. —Hid yon see Attell again? A.—Yes. I told him what Gandll said Q. —Hid yon see Attell after the third game? A.—Yes, I met him shortly after the game was over. Attell said he and Bennett lost a lot of money because they bet the Sox would lose and they won. Q. — Was anything said about the other '^*A—Later Attell, Bennett and I talked about the other games.” Q.—What did Attell say? A.—Attell said he would put up $20,009 on the fourth game and if the Sox_lo*t the plavers would get a total of $13,000. The : ’go-between’ T then said he went back to the players with Attell's new prop tsltion. Q.—Hid you meet the players? A. —Yea. 1 met Gandll. Q—What did he say? A —He said he was through with the gamblers because they still owed money from the first two games that wer. thrown. Gandil said he was going out to win. Later I saw Risberg and asked him about the next game, and he said the plavers would hold a meeting. Q. —Did they say anything about why the vwon the third game? THROW ’EM ALL. RISBERG URGED. A. —Yes, I asked Gandil why they won iL He told me the gamblers doublecrossed the players and they then crossed the gamblers. Q. —Was anything said about the balance of the series? A.—Risberg later said h wag going to throw the whole series. Horns testified he met Attell and Joe Gideon the next evening. Q. —Where did you go? A.—To a room in the Sherman hotel. Q. —What did you talk about? A.—Attell asked about the fifth game. He said he wanted to get Gandil, Risberg and Williams. Q. —Hid he mention any money? A.—He said he would give them $20,000 to lose. He said a couple of bankers would bring the money to the hotel. The money was to be split just among the three. Q. —Did you put the proposition up to the players ' A.—l went to see them that night. I u -tnanded that Gandil give me mv share of the SIO,OOO they had received. lie said ha didn't have it. I said if I didn't get my cut. I would tell everything. Q. —Did you gee Attell after that?

Taylor s A. B. C.s and the Kansas City Monarchs went into action in the final game of their Washington Park series this afternoon, with the honors of the five-game card at stake. After taking two games from the Kaw City crowd Sunday, the A s dropped the Monday and Tuesday games, letting the game count go square. Both clubs were on their toes for this afternoon’s contest, and soma-real baseball was promised. Taylor's men have not lost a series during their present home stay, and they were not ready to let the Monarchs bump them off in their last stand before Indianapolis fans for a few weeks. The Kansas City players, on the other hand, were going full speed, and it was certain that they would be a hard lot to run into the ditch. Foreman's pitching was too much for the Indianapolis colored stars yesterday. The Kansas City twirler gave up sir blows, but kept them so well scattered that the locals could count in only one frame. This was the third, when two triples and a sacrifice fly netted two runs. The Monarchs got a run In the second, one in the sixth nnd two in the seventh. After today’s game, the A. B. C.s pack up and leave on a long Eastern trip, which will take them through Philadelphia, Atlantic City. New Y'ork and other citie*. They are scheduled to return to Indianapolis Aug. 21.

LACK OF HITS AGAIN COSTLY Indians Drop Seventh Straight Despite Good Pitching of Rogge. MILWAUKEE. July 20.—With two straight defeats at the hands of the Brewers, making seven consecutive trimmings suffered by the Tribe since their most recent reversal of form, the Hendricksmen today didn't know whether to go to the ball park or board a Lake Michigan schooner and fall overboard out where the wet water is deep. Everything seems to be going against the poor old Hoosiers. Anything they try is blocked by bad breaks or just simply blocked. In fact the situation la such that no one can understand it. For a team to win nine out es ten games and then immediately turn around and drop seven straight is more than baseball critics here can understand. The strategy of the club and the general working plan are up to American Association standard, the team is leading the league in stolen bases, is second in negotiating double plays, has one triple play to its credit and several of the members are cracking the ball over the .300 mark, but despite all these good points the team is down in the race. Yesterday Big Clint Rogge took the ’ mound and allowed only six hits and two runs, but did the Indians win? Oh, no, they insisted on getting only five hits and one run. Asa result the Breweri took the second contest of the series, 2 to 1, and unless something remarkable happened today the locals were in a good way to making it three straight over the Tribe. The Brewers Bcored in the second and fifth yesterday and the Indians in the ninth. The Tribe had opportunities to score more markers, but the hit in- *he pinch was lacking again. The Indians are hopeful of grabbing off the remainder of the series here, for they are greatly desirous of making soma kind of a showing before returning home. There is no dissension within the ranks; the athletes are well paid and well taken care of otherwise, it's simply a case of Mr. John Slump. The team looks formidable when it trots out on the field, but the jinx seems ever present Wingo Out of Game PHILADELPHIA, July 20.—Ivy WlngO, veteran Cincinnati catcher, will be out of the game for nearly a month, it was announced here.
