money on the game Mccormick said
tonight:
81 recall the game OF July 60. and
while i won a large sum On it, there was
nothing crooked about 1t, nor was there
any conspiracy. Men who bet on base
ball had made the st. Louis team faY-
oriIes at odds of 500 to $50, and as a
betting proposition II looked good to me
even though Taylor was slated to pitch
for the Cardinals and Miller for the
Pirates. ! had some informa ton thai
led me to believe that Taylor and Beck
ley. Of the st. Louis team. had been out
the night before, and figured that
players could not chase around all night
and be in the best of condition for the
the next day. This game was played on
July 80. and in IT Miller held ST. Louis
down to five hits. while the Premiers
touched Taylor UP for seven hits and
won the game 10 z
After the game the fellows who were
SO foolish as TO make such large odds
started cry that the game was
crooked, and that cry has been going
IN ever since.
