FANS REMAIN AT SOX TRIAL Dryness of Scandal Proceedings Fails to Keep Down Interest in Case. CHICAGO, July 29.—The “Black Sox" bast ball scandal case was expected to go to the jury In the lorci of arguments JUte this afternoon. It was indicated 'when the State closed Us examination ot rebuttal witnesses In Judge Hugo M. Friend s court this morning. Arguments, it Is expected, will last several days, so that a decision will not be returned by the Jury until next week, probably Monday or Tuesday. Notwithstanding the dryness of the proceedings today fans packed the courtroom. Among the defendants there jvas one face missing. This was "Happy'’ Felach, whose father died yesterday In Milwaukee. The first rebuttal witness today was Alfred S. Austrian, vice president of the White Sox and legjjl adviser for Charles Comiskey. He was called to the stand to refute the testimony of A. M. Frontberg, St. Louis attorney, regarding statements alleged to have been made by him, Austrian, concerning Harry Kedman, East St. Louis picture exhibitor. The witness denied ever having characterised Led man tus a “blackguard gambler," and that he had charged that Redman “and other gamblers were trying to blaekma'.l Charles Comiskey.” The defense, during cross-exajulnatlon of Austrian, attempted to show that he while conducting the probe of crooked baseball, acted as attorney for Arnold Rotbsteiu, alleged New York gambler. Austrian admitted raking Kothstein to the grand Jury room, but denied acting as his attorney. Newspaper reporters had testified Austrian posed as the gambler’s lawyer. Rothstein. whose haute has leen linked with the scandal, was exonerated of all blame by the gradd jury. Attempts to drag out an alleged newspaper confession said to have been given by “Happy” Felsch, was overruled by Judge Friend, after an hour of wrangling between lawyers. This "confession” was printed after the grand jury investigation, but was repudiated by Felsch. > The defense rested Its case at a night session *•£. the court, after testimony of “Kid” Gleason, manager of the White Pox: Captain Eddie Collins, Kay Sehalk, I>lck Kerr and Roy Wilkinson had testified. The only Important point brought out in the testimony of these players was that the accused members of the club had been at morning practice In Cincinnati at a time when Bill Burns, chief witness for the State, had testified they were in conference with other conspirators in a Cincinnati hotel. All testimony as to whether, in the opinion cf the “clean" White Sox, the accused players had plajwd honeatly in the 1019 world's series, was ruled out by the court. n. The defense rested Its ease without putting any cf the players under lndictment.on the witness stand.

A. race. A double bill was on th© card at the Tribe park this af'ernoon as the wind-up program of the K. C. Blues and Indian series. The twin card was brought about because of a postponement yesterday when the heavy rain of the afternoon gave the playing field a thorough, soaking. It was "Ladles' day" at the Tribe lot this afternoon and this combined with the fact that a double header was scheduled, made the park officials feel that a large crowd would be on hand.

Bartlett, Stryker, Rogge and Weaver were the Tribe-twirlers available for duty this afternoon. Butch Henlln© probably was due to make his farewell appearance behind the Tribe bat today.
