BASEBALL WORLD CIV
EN- SHOCK
Confessions of Eight Baseball
Stars that They Threw
Games for Money.


of baseball received rude shock il
Tuesdays papers when announcement
was made that indict1Dents had beer
found against eight baseball stars anc
confessions obtained from two OF
them, when the Old Roman, Charles
A. Comiskey, owner Of the oft-time
champion Chicago White Sox, smash
ed his penhant chasing machine to
clean up baseball The confessions
told how the Sox threw last years
worlds championship to Cincinnati
for money psid by gamblers Tues
days developments practically ruined
Chicago's hopes Of winning the Amer
lean league pennant.
Seven Sox regulars and one former
player had true bills voted against
them by the Cook county grand jury
and the seven were immediately sus-
pended by Mr.. Comiskey. With his
team only half a game behind the
league leading Cleveland Indians, the
White Sox owner served notice on his
seven stars that if they were found
guilty, he would drive them out Of or
Ranized baseball for the remainder
of their lives.
The men whom the jury involved as
. result Of testimony uncovered by
their owner were:
Eddie Cicotte, star pitcher who
waived immunity and confessed, ac-
eording to cenrt attaches, that he took
: 40, 600 bIibe.
Arnold AChick" Gandil, former first
baseman.
-Shoeless Joe" Jackson, heavy hit
ting left fieker.
Oscar "H4ppy" Felsch, center field
ef.
Charle1 -Sweder Risberg, shortstop.
Claude Williams, pitcher.
George "Buckn Weaver, third base
man.
Fred McMullin, utility player.
While the grand jurors voted their
true bills the Old Roman, seated in
the midst of his crumbling empire out
at White Sox park, issued the tele-
gram suspending those involved, paid
off Weaver, Cicotte and Jackson on
The spot, and announced that checks
FOR pay due the others would be sent
hem at once. With his voice tremb-
ing Mr.. Comiskey, who has owned the
White Sox since the inception OF the
American league, said this was the
irst time scandal had ever touched
lis family" and that it distressed
i'm too much to talk about it.
The rush of players to bare their
,art in the affair started Tuesday
vhen Cicotte appeared at criminal
ourt building and asked permission to
estify. Cicotte wept, court attaches

orrow for his two small children As

les, after he had "found" $4,000 be-
cath his bedroom pillow where it
ad been placed by professional gam
lers.
He said he lobbed the ball to the
late so slowly "you could read the
rade mark on it" in the first game
t Cincinnati, when he was taken out
