;STFF CORRESPONDENT I N SERVICE1 '"HICAGOj Oct. 1 Investigations by tee grand jury probing baseball's mirani'.e gambling: scandal will be rumed today, It is declared, and prjp--.1 at ions for the indictment of others ''ec'nred to be involved will go forw a rd . Among these who are expected o ."lily are August (Garry) Herrmann,

loesldent of the Cincinnati Heds, and i rmrr chairman of the national com- : .rssion, "Buck" Weaver and Fred MeMullin. White Sox players already un't indictment; Clyde Elliott, a mo- " on ricture dealer w ho is said to have 'ccompanied -"Kid" Gleason, White managrer. to St. Louis when an inKtiation of charges of corruption in ive 1913 world's aeries w as made by " hue Sox officials; and Dr. Raymond Prettyman, a dentist, who is an nt.matc friend of several Sox players. State's Atty. Maclay Hoyne arrived n ("hica.iro this rnornins from New Vnrk. Liinginp- with him evidenc; ' iiicli he says will clinch the proseiuion of the players involved. T.vs v cii nce, the state's attorney declares, was given him by two men who aro neither baseball players nor gamblers, ion it tallies with admissions made by cotte. Jackson, Williams and Kelech. The two men. Hoyne said, are willing 'o i;o before the grand jury and . s t f y . The apparent friction between Hoyne i iid the frrand Jury over methods used

'i the investigation to date seemingly

'"'.is been smoothed out and Hoyne planned to plunge immediately into the probe and assume nn active part in lis direction. A new angle to the investigation topped out today when it developed that wives of some of the players may he called to testify. Several "squaro" r'ayers of the Sox have said that after !'n second i;ame of the 1919 world's seies "Happy" Felsch. indicted outfielder, gave to Mrs. Felsch 15,f00

'vhich she deposited in her own name' n a Milwaukee bank. Felsch has con-! fessed to receiving $3,000 of the $l"0.-j ''00 bribe that was promised the play- : era to "throw" the series. Mrs. Fcls-.h ' is said to have withdrawn the money j from the hank last Monday and she is j xpected to be asked by the grand jury to tell what she knows of the l rn nsart ion. i

Ttve scandal developed its first ou'rreak of violence at Joliet yesterday. I he Chicago Cubs played an exhibition : in'e there and after the contest a man

leaped upon the running board of the.

automobile in which "Buck" Heraog 'vas riding and called him "one ot ' hose crooked ball players from ChlHerzog resented the taunt nd leaped out and attacked his accuser. Friends came to heir townsman's aid r.nd on of them began wielding a knife. Heraog received -three 4cnfe wounds, two in the hand and one in the calf of the leg, but none is a-.-rious.

"W e havo worked on the track and (jot

It will be hard as a cenu 'it road after the sun works on It a. little while." He is eopecially glad to have the cold spell come so early in the wee"; as the weather man predicted it would be of short duration and he believes a nice autumn day will bring out an enormous crowd. Numerous inquiries have been received from automobile drivers who have been aching to try out on tije Porter track all summer. It now looks as thuugh pructically all of the old favorites la the auto race field will be on hand. The motorcycle events also promise to excell anything this season. Anderson, Hoover and Freeze, familiar to all fans will be there. The Indian will be represented by Walter Kjiu, another favorite and probably one r two other riders. The Kxcelniur is preparing to hold its own while the Harley-Oavidson will have two faotoiy riders and several other entrants. Many Hammond. Kast Chicago Gary people have missed the I'ort r races because they were not sure ot the location of the course. The Firestone Tire Co. has posted & string of signs "This way to Itaces" from Hammond over the best route to the track. The route leaves Hammond over Summer street and the markers start t Columbia avenue.
