Comiskey Insists Sox
PLAYED Their Best Game

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.--President Charles
Comiskey Of the White Sox to-day de-
clared he would give $4,000 for a
single clew to lead to evidence that
any Of his players had deliberately at
tempted to throw any of the world
series games to the Cincinnati Reds.
There is always some scandal Of
some kind following big sporting
event like the worlds SERIES" said
These yarns are manufactured out Of
whole cloth and grow out of bitterness
due to losing wagers. I believe my
boys fought the battles of the recent
worlds series on the level, as they have
ALWAYS done"
