Cominsky, who today suspended seven of his players indicted in connection with alleged fixing of games, was sent tonight to the White Sox club owners by Jacob Ru- pert and l.. l.. Huston, owners of the Yankee club.
 The message follows:
 Your action in suspending players under suspicion, although it wrecks your entire organization, and perhaps your cherished life work, not only chal- lenges our admiration, but excites our sympathy and demands our practical assistance. You are making a terrible sacrifice to prove the integrity of the game. So grave and unforeseen an emergency requires unusual remedies.

 out your schedule and if necessary
 the world series. our entire club is
 placed at your disposal. We are
 confident that Cleveland sports-
 manship will not permit you to lose

 that any technicnlities in carrying
 it out can be readily overcome by
 action of the national commission"
