Plenty of Thrills
With Little Progress
in Baseball Trial

Chicago. July 1S-The base ball tri-
al swung into full speed today with
the first testimony presented by the
state against the seven White Sox
players and others charged with
conspirfhg TO throw the 1919 world
series, resulted in many legal argu-
ments and alterations. which at
times approached 50 close to physi-
cal combats that the excitement
made the court room wilder in APP
pearance than the bleachers after a
home run with the bases full.
At the end of the day. the state
announced that late tomorrow it
probably would bring forth its star
pinch hitter in the hope of clinching
the battle, sending Bill Burns. the
alleged accomplish and states wit
ness to the stand to tell his frs.
hand story of the alleged conspiracy.
At the same time it was announced
that in return for his evidence the
state would rolle PROSE- tie indict-
ment voted against him with the
other defendants.
While todays session produced
plenty OF excitement it brought lit
tie in the way of evidence. George
German. assistant states attorney in
charge of the prosecution, outlined
the states case, telling the jury that
Bill Burns met Eddie Cicotte. White
Sox pitcher in New York and sug-
gested that the series be thrown. He
then went through with the oft-rc-
peated story of how Cicotte and the
seven other indicted players were
alleged to have discussed the matter
in Cicotte's Groom in Chicago hotel
and how it was finally agreed to
throw the series. He repeated the
story told at the time of the Grand
Jury investigation hat Cicotte re-
ceived $1,000 and Jackson and Will
liams 5000 each. Arnold Rothstein
of New York. again was brought in
to the case as the man whom Abe

A. Comiskey. president of the White
Sox Club took the stand. 1t was at
this point that a physical clash ap-
peared imminent. Ben Short. de-
tense counsel in cross examining Mr..
Comiskey asked him if he had not
jumped from the National League to
the Brotherhood years ago.
The argument became so heated
that the odd Roman rising in the
witness chair, shook his fist at Mr..

admitted eventually.

BILE from the first that Ulster might
adopt such an attitude, this sudden
dashing of hopes that peace con-
ference would be assembled as an out
come of the separate negotiations OF
the prime minister with De Valera
and .u.s comes somewhat as =. shock
to the public.
The Uulster premier now declares
bluntly that the British government
must reach its Cwn agreement With De
Valera and that Ulster is determined
to maintain its present status, thus rs
pudiating the whole Sim Fem argu-
ment that Ulster is in the minority
and must bow to the majority in Ire
land.
There is some hope however. that
who. Mr.. Lloyd George meets Mr.. De
Valera again on Thursday he may be
able by some means to rescue the ne
gotiatiohs from the apparent dead
lock
While the premier was in conference
with Mr. De Valera he sent telephone
message for the lister leader, VIM
arrived with the Marquis of London

premier was taking leave of Mr. De
Valera; in ia I, that latter was not
aware until afterwards that Sir James

ncuncement shows that Mr.. Lloyd
George received the Ulster premier
and his colleagues after De Valera
had departed.

the Ulster premier alone. The meH-
hers of thrir respective cabinets &C
