 President Charles A. Comiskey aLd Manager Kid" Gleason of the White Sox told the jury they had conducted a secret Investigation for several months. Presidents B. B. Johnson and John Heydler of the two major leagues confirmed this testimony and told of private investigations they had made.
 Series Had Been Fixed |. Testimony was given that Hal Chase had sent telegrams to friends saying the series had been fixed" Cicotte was mentioned as one of the bribed players.
 Finally Billy Maharg, former prize fighter, in, an interview with Phil adelphia paper, named Cicotte, At tell. Jackson and others as, taking part in the alleged deal. This, seem ingly. was the final straw, for a day later Cicotte confessed to MT. Com iskey
 Comiskey immediately suspended the seven players then with the club telling them he would drive them out of baseball forever" if the charges were found true. Cicotte was taken to the grand jury and the indictments followed.
 Following the second indictments all of the White Sox players and several others voluntarily gave bonds. Gandil was arrested in Los Angeles, Cal, April 26, 1921, but had already bought railroad ticket to Chicago to surrender and was all lowed to go there unaccompanied Chase had been arrested in San Jose, Cal, a day earlier, but no ac, tion was taken against him and eventually he was released and his bond there returned.
 Attell was arrested in May in New York City After numerous hearings in which he sought to prevent his extradition to Chicago, he suddenly dropped his fight and announced that he would go to Chicago to stand trial but was later released on a writ of habeas corpus. Bill Burns was. reported in conference with ma, 1or,. league officials in. Chicago in June, but they denied they were ne gotiating with him in any way.

Calf Watch Is Latest; Eyes Pop To Get a Look

ATLANTIC CITY, July 1S.-Re eyed a few years ago when some actress or other flashed upon the world that bi of ornamentation known as the -watch-a tiny timepiece attached to a band of pre- cious metal encircling the silk stock ing just above the slipper top?
 The anklewatch is now part of the dim, modest past. The thing Of today is the "calf-watch," to describe it in brutal English.
 It came to light here recently, on the Boardwalk It was a square bit of aluminium attached to a slender circlet of the same metal, which circlet was fitted-well, very, very high up on the young wheel chair riders hosiery-indeed, quite beyond it's amplest point. As the young specimen of femininity was riding cross-legged, the visibility was per feet
 Did you see that?" asked one of the lads in front of the Alamac.
 Did I SEE it? Say-when miss anything like that, page the under taker!"
 The girl was apparently not an actress and was quietly gowned. She was not exceptionally pretty--but, then. the boardwalkers were. not looking at her face particularly

SHIPPING BOARD TO
 ASSIST PLANTERS IN ~ PHILIPPINE ISLANDS


 ,lMANILA,s q P.lI, July ,i 1S.-If the planters and the Insular Goyern- ment of the Philippines, will CO., operate in the project, the United States Shipping Board is prepared to inaugurate a steamship service to small ports of the Visayan and the southern islands of the Philippine archipelago, that will put shippers in direct touch with their markets abroad by means. of through bills of lading.
 With view to inaugurating such steamship service, Joseph P. Ma. rias, head of the shipping board in the Philippines, has just completed trip to the southern ports, includ ing those of Mandanao. "One inn portant thing required for the de- velopment of these smaller ports, ," said Mr Marias, lis a dock-building plan. Instead of dribbling small ap- propriations out to these places from year to year, which are too small for the undertaking of ade- quate projects each year, larger sum should be spent to construct q dock and provide facilities at one port. ''i@l' 1a.'
 MT. Marias assured the planters in the vicinity of Davao, the prin- cipal port of southern Mindanao, that if the service is once started by the Shipping Board, 1t would be continued indefinitely. He said he would regard it as feeder service for deep water ships, similar to routes which have been recently es- tablished in China

History of the Case

History of the Case
 The investigation into alleged gam. bling. bribery and game throwing in major league baseball was opened of ficially in September, 1920. when Judge Charles A. Mcdonald, chief justice of the criminal courts. charg- ed the Cook county grand jury with looking into reports which had come to his attention concerning fixed games.
 The grand jury investigation which followed proved the most sensation al in the sports history. It finally resulted in the indictment of eight members of the worlds champions Chicago White Sox, two fbrnier ma ior league players, two alleged gam, ablers and a former, world champion pugilist on charges that they had conspfred for the White Sox to throw the 1919 world series to the 'Cincin- natl Reds, and that some White Sox players accepted bribes ranging as high as $1O,000 to deliberately lose games in that series.
 Sensational Expose
 When the case was called to trial on March IT, 1921, however, it ap- peared that the sensational expose would develop into the greatest legal fiasco on record. The state, charg- ing that it's witnesses had been cor rupted, declared it was not ready to prosecute, and when Judge William k. Dever refused postponement, States Attorney Robert E. Grove de- clared! that there was mo game" and dropped the cases against seven of the players. Judge Dever took the others off the court call
 The; action of the state, however, proved to be boomerang, for. in stead of marking the end eof the scandal, itG proved lreally- to be the beginning. A few days later new grand, jury investigation was started Unlike the first one, which was. at tended by blafihg of trumpets which made iall of the testimony public, the second inquiry was secret. Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the American Leag1e was the chief witness aside HUH fSLdIc WuO Iedu7 lHe testimony submitted at the first hearing. tf "o 'a
 Thirteen Are Reindicted

 Charge to the Jury
 While Judge McDonalds charge to the jury was the official opening of the first investigation by the state, there had been many rumors since the close of the 1919 world series that it had not been played on the square and testimony given the grand juries revealed that various baseball officials had conducted pri- vate investigations for months, but without definite results.
 These rumors came to head when Chicago paper, in copy righted article, exposed an alleged attempt to fix National League game in August, 1920.
 The first investigation then was ordered and the investigators start ed on the 1919 world series. The days that followed produced one sen saton after another until finally Ed Ward ". Cicotte, White Sox pitcher once rated the best in. thes American League, with tears in his eyes. con fessed that he had received ,$10,000i to throw games and named seven of his teammates as associates in the aflegedf deal
 More indictments ,.~--,.--4.
 Following Cicotte's confession, the jury voted indictments against the eight White Sox players.
 The indictments were voted the day Cicotte confessed-Sep September 2S, 1920 As soon as they were an nounced, Joe Jackson went to the jury and confessed to receiving $5,OOO saying it was given to him by Claude Williams. The next day Will Hams confessed to receiving $10O00 and to giving 5000 of it to Jackson. The money was given him by Gandil Williams said.
 Williams named Gandil and two gamblers who. were introduced to, him as Brown" and Sullivan as the go-betweens who arranged the Geal with the White Sox players.
 indictments immediately were vot- cd against Brown and Sullivan and later Chase. .fh HtIGs1 Sj 7tit :
 cicotte Received $1o,ooo
 Cicotte told the grand jury his $l0.QOO was given him before the series started. It was placed un Ter hiY pillow, he said. Concerning lhe actual throwing of the games, the pitcher confessed to only one de- posely hit Rath; the first man up in the first game, but then repented ard after that played his best throughout the series. Cicotte talked to several officials before going ;o. the grand jury chambers. These : f. flcials quoted him as confess;ng 10 other displays, but the hitting Of Rath was thg only one officially re. ported to the grand jury by the pitcher
