Vernon Club Members Alleged
to Have Raised $4,000 Last
Fall to Repay Players in

Los ANGELES Cal, Aug. H.
President w. II. Mccarthy OF the Pa

tigating bribery charges-not gamb-

named official of the Vernon club,
who Is quoted in a story the Los An
geles Express printed Tuesday.
This story declares;
"It is alleged a pool OF $4,000 was
made up last fall. which was distrib-
uted among certain members of the
Salt Lake, Portland and Seattle
teams for services rendered. in as
sistlng' Vernon to win the pennant.
"Part of the $4,000, 1t Is claimed.
was. paid to players for bearing down
against the Los Angeles club which
was running Vernon neck and neck
for the flag.
From an authoritative source
comes the Information that President
Mccarthy has been informed certain
members of the Vernon club raised
the $4,000 in question and that their
motive was to cinch the pennant and
by so doing grab what they thought
would be around s400 apiece as their
share of the $4,000 bonus which was
at the time being raised by Los An
geles fans and which was offered TO
the local clubs--Nernon or Los An
