 PLOTTED THIS YEAR
 TO INJURE CHICAGO
Eddie Collins Charges Two Members Team Denied
 Honor to Squad

 i DOPE ON THEM
Remainder of Stocking Aggrega.
 tion Declare They Will Not ! Institute New Charges i Against Men

St. Louis, Oct. 2.-Charges that the Chicago White Sox failed to repeat their triumph of 1919 and retain the American league championship because two players failed to put forth their best efforts this season, were made in a statement here to- night by Edward T. Collins, second baseman and captain of the team.
 Collins did not name the players to whom he referred, but asserted they were among the seven recently suspended from the club and indict- ed by the Cook county grand jury at Chicago in connection with the worlds series gambling scandal.
 Collins blamed Arnold "Chick' Gandil, former Chicago first base man who also was indicted in the gambling expose, with instigating the "corruption." The two players to whom Collins referred were under suspicion all year, he said, but no proof could be obtained against them.
 "The White Sox players who re- mained loyal to the club are satis- fled they had the best team in the league" Collins stated, "and while we do not begrudge Cleveland one bit, of the honor and prestige that an American league pennant carries with it, we believe that only through the corruption instigated primarily by "Chick" Gandil was the downfall of the team brought about"
 Collins said that no action against the alleged offenders was contem- plated by the other members of the club who are satisfied to let the mat ter be handled by the civil author ities at present conducting the inves- tigation.
 The White Sox were eliminated from the pennant race today by Cleveland's~ victory over Detroit.

Cox Denies He Means A. P. Has
 Been Partial

r. Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. Ex-Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, Democratic presidential nominee, tonight issued the following statement:
 My attention has just been called Ito syndicated article by William Howard Taft in which he makes the misstatement that I have attacked the Associated Press for failing to |give the American public a fair ac- count of my speeches and phases of my campaign. This would appear to be a part of the deliberate conspira- cy on the part of reactionary politi- clans and one to which l am loathe to believe Judge Taft would know ingly lend his name.
 "Upon reaching the coast we found that not only was the reactionary |press refusing to carry advance news of meetings but affidavits of Repub- lican editors established the fact that scouts of the Republican or ganization were demanding of the so- called Republican press silence re- garding the meetings and suppress sion of the facts after the meetings.
 "In bringing these matters to the attention of my audiences, several
 times made the statement that the Associated Press and other press or ganiations had representatives in my party; that they all were carrying the news but that reactionary editors were failing to give their dispatches
 to the public. As matter of fact, I have unwittingly offended repre- sentatives of other press associations by inadvertently using the words Associated Press when meansing press associations,' in complimenting them upon the work they were do-
 ing"

tablished department broken up as Is being done with the board of health The health of the City of New Brit ain is paramount to any personal feelings which executives may hold toward others. It is expedient that the board be organized immediately so that the department may proper ly functionate." .s
 The conversation continued and old matters of contention were discussed. Finally the reporter struck an im- portant one when he asked Doctor Rocks what was his real reason for resigning from the board, as it was reported by the mayor that he would not permit of G. H. Dyson being ap- pointed chairman. The doctor re- piled: "Discussing my resignation desire to correct the mayors er- roneous report that I rendered my resignation as member of the board because George H. Dyson had been appointed a member with the mayors wish that he be chairman. It was absolutely without foundation. I have the utmost respect for MT. Dyson and would welcome him as an associate member. I told Mayor Curtis in con- versation previous to my resignation that I felt MT. Dyson or any new member would be a better chairman after serving for time as a mem- Der of the board.
 The reason for my resigning must he perfectly obvious to the public acquainted with the present city re- gime.''

 Mayor Curtis left at noon for the city officials outing at Momauguin. He did not make public his ap- pointments to the board before he left the city although he said he thought he knew who they would he. He said he would make the appoint ments within 24 hours.

 It was in reply to this letter that Dr. Bray came to New Britain on Monday. He sought Dr. Reeks and they had a conference. The result was that it was agreed a superin- tenient should be seen who would agree to take change at least tempo rarily. pr. Bray saw Dr. Frederick J. Mann and asked him to serve as superintendent of the departure The doctor agreed to aid in the crisis. but only temporarily. Dr. Reeks was instructed to get a telephone vote from the members of the board. and all except Commissioner Bergstron accepted the new superintendent. Mir. Bergstrom promised to give his decision 10 Dr. Bray that same day. He did not. and when Dr. Bray called him the next morning he replied that he would be ready to make his state ment at o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was between , and o'clock that Dr. Bray was summoned to the mayors office by telephone. He thought it concerned the appointments of the superintendent.
 Asked for a statement this morning. Dr. Bray gave a clear and complete recital of the facts. which are entirely self-explanatory. His statement was:

Dear Dr. Bray:

Dear Dr. Bray:
 At your request. and in my own interest. have made an effort 70 tain n man suitably trained in pub lie health work to fill the vacancy caused by the. death of Dr. John H. Curtis. and have been fortunate in in- teresting two. either Of whom l am sure would admirably fill the position of superintendent of health. But after looking the ground over both of the men have refused to make appli- cation for the position, as the infor- nation they have picked up has led them to believe that there is lack of harmony between the mayor and the remaining members of the board of health, and they do not care to enter a new field where there is the poten- tial danger of the. work being handi- capped from the start. One of the men gave me very little opportunity to smooth things over because. he states. he Is already doing construc- tive work with the fullest cooperation of the powers that be. The other man took forty-eight hours to consider making an application, but has now informed me by phone that while he believes there is a fine field for con structive work in New Britain, which he would like to tackle, he fears from information he has gathered that his chances of success would be nil unless he and the board were un- hsmpered in the work.
 While I am disappointed. their statements do not surprise me, for frnin x~nrlgar~ realize the need of unbiased counsel if the work is to be successfully carried on.
 AS an interested person. I recently asked the mayor when he expected to fIl the board and thus give it q better opportunity to transact its business. He replied that he did not know as he had not yet found suitable men for the places.
 am making this report to you be cause I feel that it is useless for me to seek further applications for the position of superintendent of health until the board is complete and there is. at least. an outward appearance of harmony. am sure that you will quite understand that cannot con- scientiously urge any man to come here while there is even apparent semblanco of dissension. I am also reporting this matter to you because. when I offered the board of health commissioners my services as acting superintendent of health. it was with the belief that it would require only two ar three weeks time for the board 10 select and appoint permanent su- pcrintendent. Under the circum- stances it would appear as though I may he confined to this office longer than I can possibly give in conjunc- tion with my other duties. and it is therefore necessary that I must re- quest that you immediately make every effort to obtain a quorum of your board in order that | may be relieved of the board of health duties
