Maharg. who formerly was a lightweight boxer, battled again today to knock oni crooked baseball. The ‘‘mystery witness was the “Good Man Friday” to Bill Barns, confessed baseball renegade, who turned State's evidence against bis alleged fellow con- j spirators. Maharg said he met Bnrns in New York before the series. ‘T was in con- j fereace with Burns, Cicotte and Gandil," j said Maharg ‘‘We discussed throwing the series at the Ansonia Hotel In New York. "Cicotte said he would throw the j series in any order the gamblers wanted, j “I went to Philadelphia to raise SIOO.- ; 060 to buy the players. I couldn't raise 1 it.”

SAYS PLAYERS AGREED TO IT. Q. —What conversation did yon have with Burns at the Ansonia after Cicotte and Gandil left? A.—Burns told m* these hoys had agreed to sell the series for $100,900 so gamblers would make a cleaning. Burns asked If 1 could raise the money. I told him X would try. Maharg said be tried to get Kosle. 1 a Philadelphian, to underwrite the bribe, but he refused. “I came back to New York,” the witness said, "and went to the race track to see Arnold Eothstein, the gambler, with Burns. “We told Rotbstein if he would pnt up SIOO,OOO the series would be thrown. He refused.” Maharg said he thought the deal was •11 off and went back home to work. “I then received a telegram from Burns telling me to meet him on the train for Cincinnati. We arrived there the morning of the first game. ”1 asked Bill what he had done about the series. He told me Abe Attell had got Rotbstein to finance the deal. "We met Attell that night and asked him why Rothstein had come In after he had turned me down. HOW ATTELL PIT OVER TKI>L Attell said Rotbstein wss tinder obligations to hhn because he saved his life in a shooting scrape one time.” Maharg then told how Abe Attell played the game of “cheating cheaters.” “Burns asked about the first installment of $20,000.” said Maharg. “Abe flashed a wire on us which read. •Wired you twenty grand’ and was aimed ‘A. R.’ I asked Attell what he was trying to pull off." The ex-pugilist was asked to point oat any of the gamblers ne saw at the next conference in Cincinnati. “That's Bennett,” said Maharg, as he pointed out David Zciner. Des Moines, one of the alleged gamblers on trial The witness then went into the story of the suitcase full of money flashed by Attell. He also recounted how Attell threw a paltry SIO,OOO at the players when they Started to “squawk" for their m.rney. Maharg, with Burns and other gamglers, then came on to Chicago for the beat games. “Before we left Cincinnati we arranged a conference with Attell in Chicago," testified Maharg. Maharg described anew arrangement made between gamblers and players in Chicago before the fourth game. Attell agreed to put up $20,000 on the Reds to win the next two games and the proceeds of the bet were to go to the crooked players if they carried out their agreement, according to Maharg’a story. The testimony of Maharg rental ted unshaken after a cross examination by Attorney Benedict Short, for the defense. He corroborated in every way the story toid bv Burns several days ago. He also denied" he had tried to get the reward of SIO,OOO offered by Charles Comlskey, owner of the White Sox. for an expose of the scandal.

Baseball Skeletons Shake as Result of *Black Sox* Gossip Han Johnson Intimates That Thzreil Be Other Exposures Later On. BY HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, July 27—Ban Johnson's statement that more ball players are liable to be put on the carpet after the “Black Box" are tried, started some of last winter's skeletons shaking in the closet. Connie Mack and his 1914 Athletics are being brought into stories, it being said that if the gaunt Philadelphia leader gave the real reason for breaking up his great machine after it had lost four straight to the Boston Braves, It would be a sensation. Mack, however, has an answer to that. In a message to the United Press, he says: “Such stories are too ridiculous to make a reply. The Athletic players were clean and they are still clean, as can be shown by the players who are still in the game. I have stated many times why my 1914 team was broken up." Benny Kavtff, who was mentioned in the '‘confession" of neinie Zimmerman, is stilt out of the game, although he was cleared of the charge of grand larceny in connection with a stolen automobile, for' which Judge Landis suspended him from the game. The Giants applied to the baseball commissioner for Kauff’s reinstatement just ns soon as he was acquitted, but the application was not aetod upon and Kauff is still out of the game. Fred Toney, Giant pitcher, was mentioned last week in the testimony at the "Black Sox" trial, but John Heydler, president of the National League, hastened to assure the New York club that it was ail a mistake and that Toney had LOthiug to do wirh the “fixing" in 1919.

INDIANS SHOW WELL AGAINST FLASHY BLUES Tribe Hits in Pinches and Runs Bases So Rapidly Fans Are Surprised. TWO CONTESTS TODAY Two games at the old ball yard this afternoon. The mid week double-header was carded because of a postponement that occurred on the previous visit of the K. C. Blue* here. Bartlett and Caret were the probable pitching selections for the Indians, and if the Indians were feeling something like they were yesterday there was a big chance for anotoher surprise party for the fans. The Blues camo to the city yesterday all puffed up over a run of victories, but they were checked so suddenly that they were knocked dizzy. The Indians pounded the ball to all corners in the pinches and ran the bases in sensational style, finally emerging on the big end or a 12 to 4 score. Four double plays were negotiated behind Clint Rogge, Sicking appearing in the feature role when he took a ball back hand style and tossed to Sebreiber for a double killing. The Indians certainly look good whpn they have their heads up and the pitch ing ia effective. In fact they looked like champions yesterday and the fans present left the park hoping that the Hen dricksmen would show similar spirit today. Sebreiber and Rebg were the, batting stars with three hits each. One <>f Huok'* went all the way to the flag pole for three bases, scorbig two runs. Manager Hendricks’ S3OO fine was paid early In the afternoon and ho was permitted to occupy his usual stamping ground. T. J. Hickey tack.-d the penalty on Jack because of the frolic at the park Sunday Now that T. J. has had the opportunity of sticking the Indianapolis club again he's probably satisfied. Rube Lutxke, former Indian, was at third base for the Blues. Ha got two hits In the pinch and drew a uase on bulls. On another occasion he bounced one off of Kicking s shins. The Rube \ was on base each time Up. Manager Otto Kaabe still Is the same talking machine ou the coaching line and j from the bench. His pepper sort of died out yesterday, however, when the Indians stepped far out In front. Baird, Rehg, Sicking nnd Morrison got the stolen bases for the Indiuu*. Baird got two, one being u clean theit of borne. As n resnlt of the New York Nationals' most recent deal with the I’billy Na tluUalß it new appears as though the Indiana are due to lose I'atcher Butch Hsnliue. He has been ordered to report to the Quaker club in Chicago Saturday. Both Fresident Smith and Yf-e President Smith of the Indians are In the Hast endeavoring to arrange matters s > that the blonde backstop cau stay here and Manager Hendricks In anxiously awaiting word.

"Our club is in good shape for a long and hard fight,” Huggins continued. “All of the regular players, thanks to luck, are in condition, and the pitchers, with the exception of Piercy. are going great. Shawkey, for Instance, has performed a wonderful coraebnck. We are ready for anything and I think the boys realize that this stretch at home moans a lot to us if we can pile up percentages on the right side of the column.”
