 .I went the next day and joined Burns. He said that after I had left New YorR he ran. into Abe Attell, the fighter, who had gone to Rothstein and fixed things up. Burns said he had seen Cicotte ana that eight members of the team were Tn the deal. Atten was then quartered in a >large suite of the Sinton and had a gang of about % New York gam blers with him. He said they were work ing for Rothstein.
 q had my first suspicion on the morning of the first game when Burns and visited Attell We asked for the $1OO,0O0 to turn over to the White Sox players to carry out our part Of the deal.
 "Attell refused to turn over the $10o.- 900, saying that they needed the money to make bets. He made counter-pro- pesals that $20,000 would be handed the players at the end of each losing game. Burns went to the Sox players and they seemed satisfied with the new arrange ments.
 Burns told me that he saw the players were restless and wanted the full amount and he was afraid they would not keep up the agreement.
 "The players, however, told Burns that if they lost behind Cicotte and Williams, they wouldn't win for Kerr. So we went to Chicago and bet all of our personal winnings of the first two days on Cincinnati to win the third game. As matter of fact, the Sox got even with us by winning this game Burns and I lost every cent we had in our clothes. The whole upshot of the matter was that Atteil and his gang cleaned up fortune and the Sox players were double crossed out of S9o. 900 that was coming to them"

GULF STATESSTEEL
 MONTHLY EARNINGS

Gulf States Steel is earning at the net rate of more than sloo,ooo per month. This is at the annual rate of over 3 per cent on the common stock after all pre- ferred dividends.
 Still better showing is expected with the benefit of the new Shannon ore mine.
 The Wall Street Journal says:
 Earnings of Gulf States Steel for the first eight months of 1920 were at a monthly average, after taxes, deprecia- tion, and charges of sl01. .455. This is at the annual rate, after all preferred diV- dends, of over g per cent on the $n,l5o . $50 outstanding common stock compared with 1.2 per cent on the common for 1919
 That the present rate of earnings will continue is probable, since the company is booked five months ahead. Practi- cally. 50 per cent of Gulf States business is for export and foreign demand con tinues good. Very few cancellations have been made!
 '.The company should get the benefit of the sinking of the Shannon smart about the first of the year. This smart has been driven into an ore body which, it is estimated, contains 125.eO,oO tons of high-grade, self-fluxing ore. A say ing of $ a ton in the production of pig iron should result from the exploiting ef this ore, it is claimed.
