 CHICAGO. Sept. 29-Confessions from Claude Williams and Oscar Felsch, admitting that they were bribed to throw last years world s series were made public today and at the same time the grand jury inves- tigating the baseball scandal took it's first action against the gamblers who are said to have engineered the deal by indictinS two men whose identity was only partly revealed
 Brown" and Sullivan" were the names under which true bills were voted against the alleged gamblers. Later, however. it came out that the jury believed these names to be myth icaf and used only by the men when they discussed the series throwing with the players. Possibility that they are two men whose names already have been brought before the jury, and who are nationally known, was expressed by an official in the states attorneys office
 The statement by Williams and the newspaper reports of Felsch's confes- sion tallied with those made yesterday by Eddie Cicottes and Jos Jackson. They revealed that last years world series was settled in a tiny room in a small south side hotel.
 In this room, occupied by Eddie Ci- cotte, once the American leagues lead ' ing pitcher, the deal was made which
 
 world champion team and brought some of the greatest idols in baseball to disgrace.
 According to the sworn statement made by Claude Williams, who lost lost three of the world series games he and Chick" Gandil, Buck Weav- CT, Eddie Cicotte. who lost two games and Happy" Felsch, whose error helped to lcse one game, met here to barter with Brown and Sullivan" to lose the games.

 Williams said that he received s10,- 900 and that he gave s5,0G0 to Jack son, statement which tallies with the confession madeSby Jackson yesterday He was supposed to get S2O,000, he said
 t'elsch, according to reports of his confession, said he received $5,000 which he found in his locker at the club house, but that he never had a chance to really help lose the series
 His one glaring error of the series when he dropped a fly ball, was an ac- cident and he was warned afterwards 5y the other players not to be so awk- ward in making his misplays, he was 4uoted as saying. The outfielder de cldFed ne dlun want TO get III on tnt deal'' at first. but the other player. at tbe Warner hotel conference toIC him 1t would be easy. He said he hac been promised $20 000 but was double crossed
 Felsch denied that the White So, had thrown any games this season ant said the men implicated in the bribery had felt all season that they would bs exposed sooner later He con sfrmed the confessions of Cicotte anC Jackson made yesterday
