Ex-Boxer Who "Peached" in
Plot Wants .Fighter-Gam-
bier to Testify.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-James
c. Isamingcr, sports editor of The
North American, whose Interview with
Billy Maharg developed the expose
which resulted in tho indictment of
eight White sox players. followed up
the matter today In another signed
story in that Newspaper.
Among other things he writes:
'Mahare gave some new details in
tho gigantic sporting swindle last
night. He said McMullin, of the
White Sox, was not originally In on
the deal but that he overheard con-
versations among certain players on
the team. and went to them and de-
clared himself In. That explained
why McMullin, a utility player, was
able to participate in the fruits OF
the immense fraud.
ATTELL WAS ARCH-PLOTrER.
"Maharg said last night that the
culprit the courts in Chicago wanted
was Abe Attell. former featherweight
champion OF the world. He pointed
out that Attell won fortune for
himself and the gamblers he took
with him, and doublecrossed the
White Sox players out OF 500 900. as
well as swindling Bill Burns and Ma
harg.
az don't regret said Maharg, that
l told the details that will finish the
men involved In this swindle. / al

had said that after losing behind
Cicotte and Williams they would not

ACIDS IN STOMACH
: MAKE FOOD SOUR
CAUSE INDIGESTION

"Experence has taught me that
most people who complain of stom-
ach trouble and indigestion possess
stomachs that are perfectly healthy
and normal" says a well known au-
thority. The real trouble. which
causes all the sourness, gas and pain,
is excessive acid in the stomach. This
acid irritates the delicate stomach
lining, sours and ferments the food
before the point of digestion is
reached.
Artificial digestants are not needed
in such cases. They give only tenn
orary relief, do not correct the cause
and often do great harm. A better
plan, IL you suffer after eating, is to
drink A-glass of hot Magnesia water
made from a teaspoonful or four tab
lets of pure Bisurated Magnesia which
can be obtained from any reliable
druggist This instantly neutraliZes
the acid, sweetens the stomach and
your meal digests naturally without
pain. Try this for a few weeks and
see II your stomach does not feel one
hundred per cent better.
