Burns. He said that after i had left
New York he ran into Abe Attell. tho
fighter, who had gone to Rothstein
and nxed things up. Burns added
that Rothstein laid or us because he
didn't know us, but was very willing
to talk turkey with Attell, whom he
knew. Attell had told him this.
Burns said he had seen Cicotte and
that eight members of the team were
in the deal.
"Atteli was in Cincinnati, quarter
ed in large suite in the Sinton,
and had gang OF about twenty-five
New York gamblers with him. He
said they were all working for Roth

BURNS so CoNsCIBSTroUs-
Burns felt sore because he had no
money for the white sox. and he told
me that he would turn over $4,000
worth OF oil leases to the players as
security. That was just like him. /
persuaded him not to take this step
and thereby saved him that money.
After the second game we raced
back TO the hotel and again found
Attell and his confederates. AtteIl
a gain made excuses about needing the
coin to make further wagers, but did
place $4,000 on the table. He said:
Give that TO the players.
BURNS asked me to take the money
and 1 refused. He finally took IL him
self and turned IL over to one OF the
players. Burns told me that he saw
the players were restless and wanted
the full amount and he was afraid
they would not keep up the agree

"The players, however. told Burns
that II they lost behind Cicotte and

and bet all OF our personal winnings
OF the FIRST two days on Cincinnati TO
win the third game. AS a matter OF
fact, the Sox got even with us by
winning this game.
Burns and / lost every cent we

IN 1913 a story made the rounds OF

czarina had betrayed to the Ger
mans the fact Of lord Eitchener's
departure for Russia The story had
Il that the czarina maintained wire

and that as soon as she learned OF
bitchener's plan to visit Russia she
informed the German government OF

ship on which he was travelling.

Catarrh is a condition Of the blood

Catarrh should not be neglected or
