CLUB DENIES IT
 KNEW OF FIXING
Redmond Could Not Offer Positive Evidence, Says ChisOx Secretary

Chicago, Oct 2s.-The Chicago American league club. in a statement issued last night through its secre- tary. Harry Grabiner. denied that Harry Redmond or any one else had given the club positive evidence prior to the grand jury baseball investiga- ton that Chicago players had thrown games to Cincinnati in the 1919 worlds series.
 The statement was in reply to re- ports that the club had been aware of the game throwing and could have taken action before the grand jury began the investigation which resulted in true bills being voted against thirteen persons.
 Redmond, who. was brought here by President B. B. Johnson of the American league to testify. announced last night he had told the jury he had given President Charles A. Com iskey of the club positive evidence last winter that the series was fixed"
 Redmond never gave any one con- nected with this club any evidence upon which the club could act" said the statement. "The club was in- formed last winter that Redmond had lost heavily upon the series and had learned that games were thrown and would be willing to give evidence upon which the guilty persons could be convicted if the club would make good his losses.
 Manager William Gleason and Norris O'Neill immediately went to St Louis to see Redmond and. later. he came to Chicago at the clubs re- quest. Redmond could not, however, tell anything definite. He had only rumors. only hearsay stories. He could not name or furnish anything which could be called evidence. His story then seemed to be merely the hard luck story of a loser.
 The only person he could refer the club to was Carl Zoark of St. Louis. Zoark told the club he knew nothing of any crooked work and that Red mond was just a hard loser.
 Despite the fact that Redmond could only tell of rumors he had heard every effort was made to veri- fly his hearsay reports and obtain evidence, but none was obtained until after the grand jury started its in vestigation. When real evidence of crookedness was obtained this club acted in a manner which is well known" ,-.-.- y
 Officials in the state attorneys of- flee refused to comment on the state ment.

INTER-CITY SERIES TO START SUNDAY
Nutmegs and Tigers s-Ramblers of
 Hartford to Battle

The first game If the home and home series between the Nutmegs of this city and the Tigers Ramblers of Hartford. will be played in this city Sunday afternoon. The contest is scheduled for o'clock. and will bring together two rivals that have contest cd in past years in brilliant battles.
 The visiting eleven will be headed by "Spud" Drew, who has made fame at the Springfield Y. M. c. A. college. It Is a team that is generally con- ceded to be the best in Hartford this season. As the Tigers-Ramblers meet the All-Hartford team soon, the vis- itors are particularly anxious to cop a victory over the locals, in view of the fact that the Hardware City team won from the All-Hartfords.
 Under the name of the Tigers, many of the players who will be here Sunday have performed on lo- cal gridirons. The Tigers-Nutmegs games last year were fiercely fought battles. resulting on two occasions in drawn battle. With the addition of several of the star Ramblers team, the combination this year looks like one of the best in the state. Some of the well known players with the Capitol City team are Courtney, a giant tackle; "whitey'' Fitzgerald. the scrappy center; Dutch" Kent. the wrestler. and Captain Drew. Mike Morley. the welterweight boxer. is playing on one of the wings for the T.-R.'s. Captain Drew is engaged as physical director at Trinity college. He is considered the greatest snap back that the Springfield "Y" ever boasted.
 Great things are expected of the local backfeld in the coming game. The management will probably start. Koplowitz. at quarterback, with Cap- tain Nelson. Thompson and Hagearty. the other backfield men. Conley and Zehrer will play ends. The Nutmegs' line will.probably be the same as has performed in past games. A new player whose identity is being kept u secret will be with the locals.

N. B. WILL. BE READY
Captain Pcplau's Pigskin Warriors in Fine Condition for Saturdays League Game With New Haven High.

The New Britain High school foot ball eleven faces one of it's hardest bat ties Of the season Saturday afternoon, when the husky New Haven High school eleven will play at St Mary's field. The game will be a league con- test. and the kickoff will be at ] o'clock. The team has put in a hard week of practice with Coach Clesson Parker. working to overcome the de- fleets that were so plainly obvious in the disastrous game at Ansonia last Saturday. The games played so far this season have showed the locals to have a very fine bacl1field, with there being plenty of room for improvement in tho line. However, Abetz has re- poined the team, and this will un- doubtedly fill up a weak gap around the center position.
 Jimmy Renehan. swho was unable to play in the game against Ansonia last Saturday, has rejoined the team, and will play at one of the halfback po- sitions. With Appell and Captain Pep lau as his running mates. this trio is expected to do things to the heavy New Haven line.
 To those who have followed the football teams at the High school for many years. there appears to be lack of interest in this years team. There should be no reason for this, for with proper announcement and support. | the eleven can be relied upon to fight
 hard for football glory. In order that
 some enthusiasm will be injected into | the followers of the eleven. special | time schedules were maintained at the
 school today, and the same order will

CoIogne.-The British army appears
TO have'acquired n strong grip on this
section of occupied Germany, and the
soldiers get along very well with the
people. They minGle freely with them
in the streets, restaurants and cafes,
and pick up colloquial phrases very
readily. There has been very little
friction between the TOmmies and the
inhabitants. All disputes between the
army of occupation and the people of
Cologne have been brought before a
court Of arbitration. and the Germans
so far have not complained of any of
the awards.
There Is more business In Cologne In
commercial and trade circles than in
the other large German cities, which
is owing to the business transacted
with England and Holland. The Dutch
merchants are sending all the food
stuffs they can lay hands upon into
Germany. which keeps the prices very
high In their own country and is caus-
ing strong protests to he made by the
working classes in Rotterdam, Amster-

eled all over the country in the last
year said. in speaking on this subject:
AT the present time Germany could
put a well-equipped army of GO0,OOO
officers and men into the field If they
could be organized to fight together.
The major part of this force rs the
army of the Baltic and the smaller
bodies of troops who have not yet
been disbanded. The ordinary German
workman, so far as my knowledge
goes. is fed up with war, and desires
to live with his family and pursue his
trade peacefully.
"The French military authorities do
not agree with this view in regard to
the Germans and believe that they are
secretly organizing TO avenge their de-
feat. The officers. especially the Prus-
slams of the old regime, would no
doubt like to do this. as fighting is
their trade. but the rank and file would
refuse to follow them into the field.
>"The Germans have plenty Of air
planes, arms and ammunition. Out of
$4,000 field guns they possessed when
the armistice was signed they have de-
stroyed only 1000 SO far. 1t is very
difficult to get the German govern
ment to carry out the conditions of
the peace treaty, which demand that
these guns should be destroyed, and
that the forts and strategic railways
constructed In the course of the war
should be demolished. The claim is
put forth that all this work would oc-
cupy a long time and would be unpro-
ductive and expensive to the govern
ment, which has no funds to meet It,
Personally. judging from the slow
manner in which things have been
done so far, think it will be years

ever.

There is good deal of talk among
the Better class in favor of constitu-

that of Great Britain, but that would
be impossible so far as any of the
German princes are concerned. They
