CHICAGO BASEBALL
 SCANDAL FOLLOWS ID PEVNANT RACE

CHICAGO. Oct. 3. - Charges that certain Chicago White Sox players regulated their playing this season by the score bOard-winning or losing as tho occasion demanded. in order to keep the betting odds favorable-were made tonight by Byrd Lynn and Her vey Mcclellan, who said that as bench warmers most of the season they had studied the players carefully and were convinced the Sox were thrown" out of the pennant.
 We lost the pcnnant because cer- tain layers-they are among the eight indicted by the Cook county grand iury-did not want us to win" said Lynn We soon noticed how care fully they studied the score board more than even She average player does in s pennsnt race-and that they always made errors which lost Us the game when Cleveland and New York were losing. If Cleveland won-we won. Of Cleveland lost-we lost. The idea was to keep up the betting odds but not to let us win the pennant"
 Mcclellan said he was convinced certain players had deliberately
 thrown" three games in Boston on the last eastern trip.
 Several of the players noticed how | the score board affected the others, he added. "and we felt all along thai | these men were regulating their play according to the play of other teams

INDIANS HAVE EDGE
 IN OFFENSIVE FUR
 BLUE RIBBON GAMES

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-A comparison of the offensive strength of the con- tending teams in the worlds series, based upon unofficial records of the seasons work. indicates that Brooklyn will enter the big games at a slight disadvantage when compared with Cleveland. The Indians as a team have accumulated a batting average of 1903 for the season, while that of the Su- perbas is .2T9.
 Taking the regular players who are likely to appear in the worlds series. the unofficial records show that the Cleveland infield has a batting aver age of PSI, while the inner defense of the Superbas has batted for .2S4 The Cleveland outfielders as a combi- nation have batted for 1928 and the Brooklyn fly chasers for BOA
 O'Neill for Cleveland and Miller for Brooklyn probably will do @ the catch ing and in this department thG Indians would be strongex at bat as 'O'Nenl has outhit Miller during the season by A points. O'Neills mark being 326 and Millers 2S2.
 The question that will have to be answered in the worlds series is twill | Cleveland be able to maintain its aver age in offensive work against tht strong pitching staff of Brooklyn % -hseball critics generally agree that | Manager Robinson has the stronges and best balanced staff of pitchers IT either league. having no less than sil men, each of whom is capable of taking | his regular turn in the box.
 Bagby and CoveleslSie have done thu

CLEVELAND. Oct. s-Thousands of Cleveland baseball fans were down. town tonight to welcome Iris Speaker and the Cleveland Indians, winners of the American league pennant, when they arrived home from Detroit.
 James C. Dunn. president of the In- dians. today wired his congratulations to Manager Speaker. as follows:
 My sincere congratulations to you and all members of the team. l am sharpening the tomahawlxs and I am sure you will scalp the dodgers. You fought fairly and squarely and deserve the championship"
 For forty years Cleveland has been represented in some major league and the last twenty years in the Amer ican league but not until this season did any of its two score of teams bring home the pennant.
 In 1892 the Cleveland team, led by Pat Tebeau, finished first in the last half of the season, the campaign being divided, Boston winning the first half In the post season series Boston won.
 In 1908 Cleveland lost the American league pennant by half game.
 When Ray Chapman. the teams star shortstop. was killed in New York last August the Indians slumped badly.
 It took nearly two weeks for them to recover from the shock. Then they were told by Manager Speaker that they must carry on for Chappie's sake" They took heart, made a spurt from third place which ended in win ming the pennant at Detroit yester- day.
 E. S. Barnard. business manager oi the team, today announced arrange. ments for the sale of tickets to the Cleveland games.
 Nearly 10000 requests for seats were received by mail.

INTEREST IN
MURDER CASE
BLACK HILLS PEOPLE WATCH
OUTCOME OF CHARGE OF
WYOMING MAN.

Deadwood, July Residents of
the Black Hills and of adjacent ter
ritory in eastern Wyoming are dis
playing great interest in the case of
Frank Hickey, who a few days ago
was released after being in the Sun
dance jail about one month on sus-
picion that he was responsible for
the murder of Laben Wood, a ranch
er of prominence in the eastern sec
tion of Wyoming, who was well
known in the Black Hills,
Prominent men of the Hulett coun-
try caused Hickey's rearrest on the
charge of having killed Wood, and
claim to have much new evidence.
The states attorney at Sundance,
Attorney Nichols, announces that
the wife of Hickey has made sworn
statement to the effect that she was
an eye witness of the killing of Wood
by her husband. However, the state
ment of Mrs. Hickey cannot be used
against her husband at his trial, and
the prosecution will have to depend
more or less upon circumstantial evil
dence.
The evidence of a sister of the
slain man promises to play an impor-
tant part at the trial. The sister, at
the preliminary hearing of Hickey
after his first arrest, testified that
after the mysterious disappearance OF
her brother she saw Hickey wearine
rubbers and a shirt which had been
the property of her brother. II is
expected that at the Forthcoming
trial of Hickey she will testify to the
same facts.
At the trial the prosecution will
undertake to show that Hickey shot
Wood twice and rolled the corpse
into the river, that the body was
moved after it had been in the river
about month and deposited in ar
out-of-the-way place, where it finally
was found by searching party.

BANK RESOURCES
SHOW DECREASE
SUPERINTENDENT OF BANKS IN
TION DUE TO CURTAILMENT.

Sioux Falls, July 1.-An approx
mate total net decrease in the re-
sources of the state banks of South
Dakota of $3,4O7,S20.3O is disclosed
by the May report of John Hinning,
state superintendent of banks, just
made public. The statement shows
the total resources of the 555 state
banks reporting to the state banking
department, at the close of business
on May A, 1920, to be s216,892,-
O01.97, as against a total of $780,
209,822.27 reported at the close of
business on February %, 1920.
This decrease in resources is at
tributed to the deflation of values
and the gradual curtailment of loans
that began Immediately following the
annual 1st of March settlements,
which was declared by the federal re-
serve board to be absolutely essential
in order to bring the country's finan-
cial conditions back to normal.
On the liability side Of the ledger
the report shows that there has been
corresponding decrease, leaving the
state banking institutions on the date
of their report apparently sound fl
nancially. Since the call of May IL
1919, deposits in the state banks
have increased by an approximate to-
tai of $14,255,992.01. In the CAPT,
tai stock invested in state banking
there was an increase during the
three-month period of s177,723.70
SO that the total amount of capita
stock of all state banks in South Da
kota is now $12,5O4,2O0, and the to
tai deposits on May was $186, 95,
1896. In the depositors' guarant!
fund for the protection of depositors
| in the event of the failure of one Of
| more state banks there was tota
amount of cash on hand of $1,244,
1888, showing an increase in thi
fund since the last report of $11.
7O1.01.
In the expense account of all stat'
| banks, which include losses, salaries
rents, ETC., there was an increase dur
ing the three-month period of 81,
O48,638.83, which is pointed to as al
indication that the expenses of bank
ing are growing greater. In the mat
ter of resources it is also shown tha
loans and discounts have Increases
since the February report, $4,482,
O43.64.
