lar from my protectors. unrl this
blows over"
Charges thai some OF the same
players who are accused OF throwing
the worlds series TO Cincinnati last
year. have used their efforts to pre-
vent the White SoX from becoming
pennant winners this season, were
made today by several members OF
the Chicago White Sox who have
not been mentioned in the grand
jury testimony.
Went Mysteriously Stale
One player who refused to allow
his name to be used, made the fol-
lowing statement:
When we started on our last east
ern trip. We had every reason 10 be-
lieve we would win the pennant sud
denly Williams and Cicotte seemed to
go bad without any reason. Some of
US talked it over and agreed it looked
like they were growing the ball.
Then jackson, Felsch and Risberg
began dumping the ball into the in
field every time they came to bat
when we had a chance TO get runs,
1--WE thought at first they might
just be in a batting slump. But
when some of us compared notes re-
garding the pitching and hitting we
became more than suspicious.
"Tt may as well be stated that some
of us believed ever since the last
worlds series that we were sold by
Cico'te and others.
"Well, when the same men we
suspected Of crossing us at that time
began to 60 bad on the last eastern
trip. we decided there must have been
another sell out. However we have
never been able to prove this.
However, had We played anything
like our regular game We would have
come home with the pennant cinched
We all hope the grand jury will look
into this end OF the affair If il
fails to act we may take some action
oulselves-if we can get hold Of the
players who are cheating"
Show Up Everything
John Collins veteran first baseman
of the White Sox, said:
I'VE are sorry for the fellows who
are caught in this Jam, but we know
everything is going TO be shown up
1--WE suspected some Of them in the
worlds series, and we watched the
way they played on the eastern trip
said Collins. We know not only some
Of them did no. try, but really acted
as though they didn't want TO win
have no idea what influenced Their
actions"
Red Faber. a pitcher who carried
his club to victory in the 1917 worlds
series. said the playing Of the SoS
on the eastern trip made some Of the
others believe something was crooked
1T looks like we were double crossed
in the worlds series last year and In
the pennant race this year but we
are not through yet.
We will go to ST. Louis with q
ball team on which every man will
be trying and will fight TO get into
the worlds series.
IF We land we will be sure Of one
thng-we win not have a Judas on
the team when We go into the big
series.

More Than Her Mouth.

Although the groundhogs at the

day away from that fine park and
playground for the people, time will
bring spring within a few weeks now,
at the worst. Time has a way of
making things move.
Although crowds at the National
Geological park have fallen off ma
terially during these cold winter Sun
days, nevertheless many visit the park
every Sunday. Much attention Is given
the animals kept indoors, naturally.
Thus the mother hlppopotamus has
her admirers. Recently two small
