Felsch Sorry He Did 1t
"Well, the beans are all spilled, and

the others got theirs, too," said Felsch
in his confession.
II don't know what I'm going to do
now. have been a baseball player
during the best years of my life, and
never got into any other kind Of busi-
ness. Pm going to hell, ! guess. in
tend to hang around Chicago while

go. Then maybe III 60 back to Mill
waukee."
The smile that gave him the nick
name of "Happy" Felsch faded as he
considered his prospects.
81 wish that hadn't gone into IT," he
said. II guess we all do. We have more
than earned the few dollars they gave
US for turning crooked.
"All this season the memory Of the
worlds series has been hanging over
p, US. The talk that we threw games this
year is bunk. We knew we were sus-
pected and we tried to be square. But
: guy can't be crooked part of the time
and square the rest Of the time. W
knew that sooner or later somebody
was going to turn up the whole deal.
"Cicotte's story is true isAevery de-
tail. don't blame him for Telling.

1t was left in my locker at the club
, house, and there was always q good
deal Of mystery about the way 1t was
dealt out. That was one of the reasons
why we never knew who double-crossed
Us on the split of the 100000. 1t was
to have been an even split. But we
never got it.
"Who was responsible for that dDu-
ble-cross I can't say I suspect Gandil,
because he was the wisest one Of the
lot and had sense enough to get out
Of baseball before the crash came. But

a Maybe it was Attell. don't know him,
but I had heard that he was mixed up
with the gamblers who were backing
us to lose.
Didn't Want To Be Squealer
II didn't want to get in on the deal
, ct first. I had always received square
, treatment from 'Commy' and 1t didn't
look quite right to throw him down.
But when they let me in on the idea

the whole deal. We all share the
blame equally
"I'm not saying that double-crossed

with the loss Of the worlds series.
Ihe breaks just came so that was not
given chance to do anything toward
throwing the game.

up enough nerve to carry out my part
in throwing the game l can't say. The

with the double-cross. But. as said, 1

When we went into that conference
in Cicotte's room he said that it would
be easy for US to pull the wool over
the eyes of the public, that we were
expert ball players, and that we could
throw the game scientifically.

as easy for good player to miss bali

How did Cicotte get $4,000 ~
Felsch was asked.
Because he was wise enough to
