Chicago, Oct. With August Hermann, president of the Cincin- nati Reds and former chairman of the National Commission, on the plunged into an investigation of all legged dishonesty and connivance with gamblers by players in the National League.
 The start1ings charge that a "slush' fund of S20.000 was used to bribe lpayers of the New York Giants to lose the National League champion ship to Cincinnati is reported to have been made by Hermann. Aff1davits supporting the charge are sad to have been presented to the grand jury b ythe Cncnnat ma gnate.
 States Attorney Maclay Hoyne ar rived in Chicago this morning from New York. He has with him evil dence which he says will clinch the prosecution of the players involved. This evidence, the states attorney de- clares, was given him by two men who are neither baseball players nor gamblers. but it tallies with admis- sons made by Cicotte, Jackson, Will Hams and Felsch. The two men, Hoyne said, are willing to go before the grand jury and testify.
 The apparent friction between ,Hoyne and the grand jury over meth seemingly has been smoothed out and Hoyne' planned to plunge lmmedi- ately into the probe and assume an ~Ictive part in It's decision.
 A new angle to the investigation cropped out today when it developed that wives of some of the players may be called to testigy. Several square players of the Sox have said that after the second game of the 1919 world s series Happy Felsch. indicted out fielder, gave to Mrs. Felsch S15, 900 which she deposited in her own name in d bank.
 Felsch has confessed to receiving '$5,0 ,000 of the $10O,OO0 bribe that was promised the players to throw the se- Iies. Mrs. Felsch is said to have withdrawn the money from the bank last Monday and she is expected to be a sked by the grand jury to tell what Ishe knows of the trfnsaction.
