 According to testimony presented, lat least several hundred thousand dollars was bet and won on the world series Chase was the first man to suggest throwing the series, it was said and called in the others to help him. Harry Long, Chicagoan, told the jury he alone placed s27,000 in bets on Cincinnati for
 Sport Sullivan of Boston. Testimony has been received concerning many other large bets it was said.

 Williams, Jackson and Cicotte pre- viously had made sworn confessions before the jury. Cicotte said he re- ceived $10,000, while Williams said he received $10,o0o. which he split with Jackson, who confirmed the statements of the two pitchers Weaver, McMul- lin and Risberg have announced that they will fight the case and contest the suspension placed on all eight players by owner Charles A. Comiskey.
 Officials of the states attorneys of flee today said testimony had been given that Chase, who was expelled from the the major leagues and barred from league parks in the west for alleged gambling, was one of the chief instigators of the game selling.
