to New York
Asserts Cubs Were Goat.
The grand jury yesterday received
further information concerning the
throwing" of games in last years
series. but devoted most Of the dav.s
session to an investigation of alleged
crooked work in the National Leaeue.
William Veeck. president of the Chi :
cago Nationals. told the jury that his
private investigation Of charges that
the Philadelphia Chicago National
hxed for Philadelphia to win led him
to believe that the club itself had
been made the goat" in the case, and
other witnesses gave additional de-
tails of the activities which led to
the discharge from base ball of Lee
Magee and Hal Chase
Veeck said evidence he had found
in Detroit convinced him there was
no crooked work in the August Il
game. He said he believed the gam
blers themselves had sent him the
kilograms saying it was fixed. and
that they had done this to make the
club switch from Pitcher Hendrix to
Alexander. This gave Chicago its
what the gamblers wanted, he said.
Garry Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati club and formerly chairman n
of the national commission, presented
aff1davits from Christy Mathewson. for
mer New York pitcher and Cincinnati ii
manager: GREASY" Neale, Cincinnati b
outfielder; Jimmy Ring. Cincinnati, I,
pitcher. and Manager McGraw Of the
New York-Giants. These affidavits,s he
told newspapers, absolutely proved the
guilt of Chase and Magee.
Declare They Are Innocent.
Buck" Weaver, Fred McMuIlin. and
'Swede" Risberg. three Of the seven
White Sox players indicted, have de-
clared they were innocent and would
fight tho case in court.
