SAYS 1920 GAMES BAD
Prosecutor Hoyne Says Plans
Laid to Fix Coming Series.
Chicago's States Attorney Returns
From New York With New Evil
dence of Baseball Crookedness.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-At least six 1920
major league baseball games were
fixed" by gamblers-the same clique
which bought up White Sox players
to throw last seasons worlds series
to Cincinnati. There probably were
more. And plans were laid By the
gamblers tc ''fix'' the 1920 series.
Such were the charges revealed by
States Attorney Hoyne when he re-
turned from New York. He immedi-
ately took charge of the grand jury
Investigation. Mr.. Hoyne said:
II have evidence that several of the
1920 games were fixed and have in
formation that the Forthcoming series
was to be fixed
while in New York 1 gathered to-
gether loose threads of 1920 scandal
in baseball which would far surpass
that Of last season." he said. ut ap=
peared that the gamblers had met
with such success that they were
brazen in their plans to pollute the
national sport. Rumors of their
crookedness were floating from the
housetops, as it were.
"And there was evidence, too,
though 1 had not sufficient time to run
it down to a certainty. But left nu-
merous trusty investigators in the
East and am expecting them to CON-
plete the work l started.
"What will be the result? I will
not say at this time, but I will ven
ture the assertion that there Is more
and bigger scandal coming In the
baseball world"
After a conference with his aids
over the past work Of the grand jury
and its results, Mr.. Hoyne went be-
fore the tribunal to assure it that he
was wholly in accord with its actions.
