CHICAGO, sert. 2s-The National
Baseball Commission, meeting here Tues
day, changed the dates OF the worlds
series which were announced Monday.
UnderS the new arrangement. the hrst
game will be played in Brooklyn on Oct
3. Games will also be played in Brook
lyn on Oct 3 and Z, when the teams
will go TO the American League city
which wins the pennant, either Cleveland
or Chicago.
-Four games will be played in tbs
American League city unless one team
has won the series. The eighth will be
played in Brooklyn Oct. Il and the ninth
game, II any, will be played on Oct. 10
in Brooklyn.
The change in dates was made on
the request OF James Dunn, owner OF
the Cleveland Indiaps, probable winners
Of the American League pennant. Dunn
appeared before the commission and de-
clared thrt arrangements for the opening
game II held in Cleveland, could not be
completed by Oct. o. He said that new
stands were being erected and other ar
engagements made to handle the crowds.
As Brooklyn had clinched the National
League flag and the American League
race was still IN doubt, the commission
decided IL would be best to change the
dates, giving the first three games to
Brooklyn.

baseball. The arrangements for the
worlds series had just been completed
when the indictments were announced.
The penalty under the conspiracy act
on which the indictments against the
eight White Sox players were voted,
provides a fine up to 5000 and impris-
oRment up to two years.
One question which was still undo
cided today was whether the White Sox
players were ION the square during the
hot contest this season. When they lost
string Of games during the latter part
of the season and practically threw away
their chances for the pennant this year.
ugly rumors started.
GAMBLERS ALL
"ON''. CLEVELAND.
Gamblers and book makers were known
to have wagered heavy sums of money
that the Cleveland Indians would win
this years pennant in the American
League
Ban johnson. president of the Amer
lean League. admitted he had heard ru-
mors that the Sox did not dare to win
the pennant this year. The gamblers
who had bet on Cleveland, had the White
Sox in their power through the crooked
dealings a year ago. according to these
rumors, and blackmailed them into
losing.
TIE gamblers are alleged to have
Threatened the White SoK players that If
they did noe lose they would expose the
croOkedness of the 1919 series.
Cicotte, the Sex star pitcher, failed
miserably when called on TO perform in
pinches this season when the rae, was
tight Manager Gleason even forced
Cicotte 10 do several hours extra prac-
tice day and then put him on the bench
for a period.
Rumors of the scandal caused constant
wrangling among the Sex during the
year and the wonder was that they were
able to keep in the pennant race. even
If they were playing ION the square.
Just before the recent important series
with the New York Yanks, one of the
White Sox players who was ION the
square" was interviewed by a United
Press STAFF correspondent.
Who are you going 70 pitch tomor-
row p the correspondent asked.
"Cicotte," was the answer, and II he
doesn't win, we will mob him on the
field"
Cicotte pitched and he won the game.
None of the players indicted By the
grand jury are under arrest as yet Eddie
Cicotte left for his home in Detroit la 81
night. Joe Jackson remained in Chi
cago after making his confession to the
grand jury, but was closely guarded by
deputy sheriffs after he had revealed a
letter threatening him with death II he
did not tell Of his part in the plot.
CicOtte is said to fear Federal prOsecu-
ton because he failed to include the StO.-
600 he got for throwing the games he
pitched in his income tax return BDth
Jackson and Cicotte signed immunity
waivers, but II Is understood that they
will be given consideration because of
the testimony they gaze TO the grand jury
and that both viii testify as witnesses
Tor the State when the cases come to
trial.

PITCHER IN TEARS

Cieotte told his story to the grand Jury
with streaming eyes and hating tongue.
BE told how Risberg, Gandll and Me
Mullin had preached the plan to him and
his wife and kids" he agreed to Join In
the alleged conspiracy. He told how the
eight men met in his room at the Warner
Hotel here and discussed the plan and
agreed that they could get away

the gamblers"
Then Cicotte told how games were
thrown. He said:
II was asked to groove balls over the
plate so they could be hit and. make wild
throws If necessary; disobey Catcher
Ray Schalk's signals and boot batted
balls If ! had to in order to let Gin
cinnati win. Some of the others were
grounders or make wild throws There
was no general plan, but we all knew
what was expected OF us. All performed
quite trickily except Felsch, who clowned
his misses Of fly balls SO ridiculously as
to scare us all"
JOE TELLS HOW HE
PLAYED TO LOSE.
Joe Jackson. in his information, is re-
ported to have said.
when a certain player would bat q
ball out in my territory I'd muff 1t IL l
could-that is, fail to catch 1t. But IL 1t
would look too much like crooked work
to do 1t, I'd be slow and make throw
to the infeld that would DO too short.
My work netted the Cincinnati team sew
eral runs that the Reds never would
have made If l had been playing on the
square"
Cicotte's confession is said to have
named GandiI as the ringleader in the
plot, with Risberg and McMullin as his
chief Heutenants. Gandil did not report
to the White Sox this year and has not
yet been located. 1t is reported that be

Two Polish families are among the coal min
ers elected from company houses, who live in the
tent village at Nolans. All the others are Amer,
icans-white Americans descended from the old
est Colonial families, and black Americans whose
ancestors came in on special invitations, all ex-
penses prepaid, from Africa
In all this region that same racial percentage
holds good Foreigners are as rare as pro-union
mine owners. In numbers the whites and blacks
are almost equally divided In militant devotion
to the union each race strives to excel the other.
Last night word came that little group of
miners, isolated in a mountain pocket far from
union local, were in need of an organizer. One
man was available to make the trip at once and
establish the local. He is a tall, slender negro,
midde-aged and with only one eye saved from a
mine explosion years ago.
'You know the Baldwin gunrhen have a dead
line around that place." the black man was told,
''but someone must go in there right away. Can
you make it?" es@ 4
II kin make it," the negro replied; "and eff
you hears didn't arrive you all kin look for me
along the road" .',..,....s,.....4...
Negroes Active In Union
Today saw some photographs of a black
organizer whom the operators thugs had caught
at Dinges. His head and arms were covered with
bandages, concealing the wounds inflicted by
clubs and blackjacks before the detectives
decided the man was dead and left him lying in the
road. lit.fA
Many Of the local union officers are colored
men, proud of their Responsibilities and conscious
of their affilation with "a great national body Of

asked for an explanation.
"You can talk all you want about law and
order" he replied, "but can tell you the union
is going to be suppressed. Here's how it works.
We had lot of old stock here that we couldn't
get rid off, so shipped it over to Logan and went
along the streets with two boys distributing hand
bills announcing special sale. Within five minutes
the sheriff comes up and grabs me- Then he read
the handbill, and smiled. 4
II "That's all right, he said, I thought you
were getting up union meeting. If it's just q
sale of goods you can go into any of the camps
and scatter your bills around. If had been a
union organizer he would have clouted me over
the head and shipped me out in a box. That's the
way they handle 'em in Logan and Mcdowell, and
they will do it that way here after election, law or
no law" 4t1' IA fM
