Maharg said the White Sox players were "double crossed" out of all but $10,000 and he and Burns also were deceived on the betting plans, by Abe Attell, former featherweight champion who acted as "go between" with the betting ring. Cicotte denied Maharg's charges but refused to say more than that the charges were not true. Comiskey Wires Maharg President ComisKey telegraphed Maharg asking him to come to Chicago and offered him $10,000 for substantiation of his accusations.

DRIVERS TUNE OP SPEED BOATS FOR EATON DIRT RACES Speed fans will be treated to one of the classiest dirt track shows of the season Saturday afternoon, Oct. 2. when the automobile races on th? track at the Eaton. Ohio fair grounds are stated. Indiana and Ohio's leading speed artists who have more than held their own in dirt track classics throughout the country for the past number" of years are in line for the events, and a tough battle is expected in every one of the races on the program... Divided Into Groups. The field of entries will be divided into groups for each of the ten milo springs, and the winner of these wfi compete in a program headliner a 25 mile go. The goal of all the drivers is entry to the 25-mile race, and they can be backed to kick up plenty of dust in an effort to put over 10-mile victories. The feature event promises to be a cracker jack race, as it will bring the fastest cars and the most .daring dirt track drivers of Indiana together in competition. Tune Up Cars. For the past week the drivers have been tuning up their cars, and all are satisfied that they can show the fans more speed than has ever been exhibited on any dirt track. Indications point that the attendance record will be broken at this year's speed classic, as foretold by the large number of out-of-town sales and inquiries to date. Numerous rtquests for reservations are coming from Dayton, Richmond, Hamilton, Winchester and Indianapolis. Every possible precaution will ba taken by the fair management to prevent accidents. The track will be worked over immediately after tht? horse races Friday. Each car will be carefully tested before it will be permitted to go to the post. QUAKERS PLOW MUD

WITH NEW LINEUP In spite of the rain Monday afternoon, Quaker moleskin artists turned out and went through their regular daily grind. The work consisted of signal practice during the first part and ended up with three-quarters of an hour of scrimmage. The workout was made necessary by the nearness of the game with Hanover which will be staged on Reid Field next Saturday afternoon. Try New Line-Up. Last night's line-up was a new one from any that the Quakers have tried this season. Bookout. and Nicholson were both absent from the lineup and their places at end were filled by Hall, who was shifted over from tackle, and Bowles, a promising freshman. E. Pennington was run in as tackle. Both the regular ends are suffering from some severe bruises gained in practice. They will be out for practice Tuesday it is thought. Dope on Hanover is exceedingly scarce. The downstate boys are keeping an unusual silence and as a result of this it might be thought they had had something up their sleeves. Quakers Have Edge. The Quakers have been able to defeat the Presbyterian in most of their games in recent years and with the team that the Quakers expect to put on the field this year they should not
