no axe to grind | have been sum
moned to tell you all know, and
nearly everything tell you can be
proved either by Mr. Heydler presi-
dent of the National League, other
players and many Others"
His testimony in substance was as
follows:
That there is a gambling clique of
professional bookmakers in Pittsburg
who advance money to major league
ball players to bet on games in which
these players participate. A catcher
OF the New York Giants team can
substantiate this charge, according to
Benton.
That Hal Chase, New York Giants
player who was dropped from organ
lied ball last year, cleaned up over
$4,000 by placing unwise bets on the
worlds series games last fall.
That Hal Chase and Buck Her2og of
the Chicago Cubs offered Rube some
easy money" il he would throw
game to the Cubs the last day of
series between Chicago and New York
last fall,
That Heine Zimmerman, Giant
third baseman, who was dropped at
the same time Chase was released,
told Benton he was a poor fish" and
that four hundred bucks were waiting
for him had he thrown the game.
