CHARGES THAT CUBS "THREW" A GAME, IS BEING INVESTIGATED

(Br Auoclated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 4. President William Veeck, of the Chicago National league baseball team, today began an Investigation of charges made here today that the Cubs had deliberately lost last Tuesday's game, -which Philadelphia -won 3 to 0, and that professional gamblers "cleaned up" In a betting coup as a result. Mr. Veeck said he had no evidence either to prove or disprove the charges but would make every effort to sift the matter to the bottom. "My impression has been that there was less gambling this year than ever before." he said. "I thought that it might be attributed to the fact that we went after some fellows pretty hard last year." Lee Magee, of the Cubs, and Hal Chase, of the Giants, were let out for indifferent ball playing" last year, and

It was later brought out in a hearing granted to Magee that the real cause was that he was suspected of having bet against his own team in a game at Boston. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 4. "I know nothing about this report from Chicago concerning betting on baseball, except what I -have heard from the newspapers," said Manager Mitchell, of the Chicago National baseball club here today. "I pitched Alexander the day in question because I wanted to win the game. MeadowB was pitching for Philadelphia and it takes a good man to beat him. I understand the charge came originally from a Detroit fan who did not sign his name to the letter. "It seems to me tha't if there was anything in the charges, or he believed there was anything in them, he would not have neglected to put down his name."
