Montreal, Oct. 30.-Abe Attell, for
mer pugilist, who has been in Mon
treal three or four weeks eluding
New York reporters and authorities
who went to question him as to the
throwing of the worlds series base
ball games, has made a statement In
which he asserts he was not respons-
ible for the arrangements made to
throw the championship games be-
tween Chicago and Cincinnati. At
tells statement follows. in part:
The Chicago players received $40,-
600 or $4,000. Where did it come
from? At the time of the worlds
series | was broke. Five days before
| sold my wife's platinum and gold
wedding ring for $l25 to a man in

information about the series by Hal
Chase and Bill Burns in Philadelphia.

er with Cincinnati. At this game he
and a prize fighter named Mohawk

BURNS GIVES ADVICE

Burns had been told that / was a
friend of Arnold Rothstein, and after
the game he came to me and told me
that IL he had known who l was he
wouldn't have let me down. He add
ed that some time he would see that
l got even.
1T was because of this that when l
met him at the Polo grounds in New
York he told me to get as much
money as l could together and bet 1t
all on Cincinnati to win the worlds
series. He said 1t was all fixed and
that gamblers had been all over the
country arranging 1t.
Joe Gedeon, Bill Burns and Mo-
hawk arranged the whole thing. They
went from town to town to get as
many gamblers as they could to put
up money and lay bets. I spoke to
Rothstein about the proposition, but
he knew of it already and told me so.

Chicago has exonerated Rothstein
