TO BROADEN PROBE IN BASEBALL

winners, and former chairman of the Ma tional Baseball Commission, who was asked by the grand jury to present what ever documents he may have bearing on the 1919 series, and Clyde Elliott, mo- tion picture man who aided Charles Com iskey, president of the Chicago White Sox in his investigation of the series, are to be the next witnesses before the grand jury, it was said tonight. It was also asserted that efforts would be made to obtain statements from two additiSral White Sox players who have been sus- pended, as to their part in throwing" games
 Players who remained loyal to Char les A, Comiskey, president of the Chi cago White Sox, last year, may re- ceive their reward this year, according to statistics computed tonight. At tention was called to the comparative ly small number of eligible players re- maining on the Whit Sox club.
 The problem. mathematical one, has several possibilities
 If the White Sox win the pennant, even though defeated in the world se ries, the losers share divided among the individual White Sox players would be almost as great as that of their opponents.
 The rule giving second and third place clubs in the leagues share in the world series pool makes it pos sible for the Chicago club, if it finish es in second place and divides the money, for each player to receive al most as much as the individuals on the losing club in the baseball classic.

FINANCIAL. AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DEPRESSED.

New York, Sept. 3O.-In it's essential characteristics, today's stock market traversed the ground made familiar by contrary novazsents of the last fort night. Industxials extended their losses, while rails and utilities were relatively strong. Further downward price revls- Ion and curtailment of operations were noted in several of the important lines ,f trade especially the automobile in tlustry and advices from steel centres strengthened the impression of impend- Ing price concessions by independent manufacturers. Selling agents ot the leading copper companies were reported 10 be offering the refined product at fraction under recent prices ana other base metals. notably lead and spelter, were quotably lower.
 Equipment shares eased with steels, nespite the belief that the transporta- tion companies are completing plans TOT purchases of large quantities of mater lals in the final quarter of the year and nils were less resilient than usual. The unly noteworthy stock market feature was an early drive against the shorts In crucible Steel, which carried that ttock up 8 1-4 points to 135, the net rain. however, being only l 3-4 points. Other issues of the same class were lower by fractions to almost points at the irregular close. Rails made their highest quotations in the last hour on . brisk inquiry for seasoned issues of the Pacific and Granger divisions at net advances of 1 to about points, while secondary rails also hardened moderately and specialties sustained additional losses. Salss amounted to g25. 900 shares Call money opened at per cent. rose to in the early after roo,, and cIosed at g the maximum rate If the past few weeks.

play tomorrow with the American league race still undecided, while the remaining contests in the National league will be merely formality of playing out the schedule, the Brooklyn team having clinched the pennant Tuesday.
 Cleveland, with four games to play, leads Chicago, in the American league, by one and one half games and in order to capture the pennant, must win three of the four games provided the White Sox win their three remain ing games. If Cleveland breaks even in the four games and the White Sox win their three, the two teams would finish their schedules on even terms, while the White Sox would win the pennant if they defeat St. Louis three straight and Cleveland drops three out of the four games with Detroit
 Another possibility of the race is that of the Chicago club dropping to a tie with the New York Yankees for second place, which would result if the White Sox lose all three games with St. Louis.

EBBETs DETERMINED TO
 ASSURE PUBLIC SQUARE SERIES

New York, Sept. 30.-On the eve of the investigation to be conducted by District Attorney Lewis of Kings coun- ty concerning rumors that the coming worlds series had been fixed" Dis trict Attorney Swann tonight sent 2 let ter to States Attorney Hoyne of Chi cago, offering his assistance to prose cute those indicted for the alleged scan dal connected with the 1919 series. MT Swann's offer was made contingent up- on MT. Hoyne finding that some part of the alleged felony was committed in New York county.
 The Chicago authorities seem to have well in hand the case of the crooks who were willing to debase the great national sport of baseball for their own sordid ends," said MT. Swann's letter. ''The crooked gamblers who aided and abetted, procured and advised the throwing of the games, seemed to have planned the scheme in part in New York and consummated it in your city.
 Connecting the scheme to defraud of course, is msdemeanor and is all that our courts could take jurisdiction of, as I read the testimony while your courts have jurisdiction of the felony committed by the consummation of the scheme to defraud.
 However, in case from your close ac- | quaintance with the facts you find that any part of the cons1mmated felony was committed here, please let me know and I will take up the matter here"
 l While President Charles H. Ebbet: and Manager Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn team have not the least doub as to the honesty and integrity of their players, both have expressed willingness to aid District Attorne! Lewis in his investigation. The distric attorney declared that he had heard l vague rumors that a clique of gamblers similar to that which bribed the Whit Sex players last year. was making al attempt to buy the coming worlds SC ries. It was his intention, he said. t question the Brooklyn players thorough ly as soon as possible.
 Three members of the Brooklyn tear Captain Zack Wheat, Al Namaux an James W. Taylor-appeared before Dis trict Attorney Lewis late today an made statements of which steno graphic report was made.
 Later when MT Lewis was asked
 anything of a suspicious nature ha been unearthed, he replied, "absolutel nothing" The district attorney said | was satisfied that the players wei strictly ''un the leveP' and that his pul
 pose in examining them was simply

NO PosT-sEASoN SERIES
 BETWEEN GIANTS AND YANKEl

New York, Sept. 3O-Possibility of a post-season series of games between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees was eliminated today upon the arrival here of Charles A. Stoneham, president of the Giants, from Cuba. Admitting that such a series would be great attraction, MT. Stoneham based his objections on the grounds that people would say the games were played for mercenary reasons; that they might affect the at tendance at the worlds series in Brooklyn, and that the games would necessitate keeping the players of both teams together for too long a period after the close of the season.
