He failed to advance on Taylor $ scratch infield hit, and moved over to third on Bernsen's single to right. This loaded the bases with only one down. Silvas offering was sacri- flee fly to right, which scored Stuff fly and Clarke closed out the inning by grounding out pitcher to first. Before Stump had gone out. however, Manager Bronkie and his hirelings assembled around the home-plate and tried to argue Umps Corcoran into calling Stewart out for leaving third before the sacrifice fly had been caught. Corcoran turned deaf ear to their pleas.
 |, The Bears finished the ninth on their feet. A single by Mulvy, an error by Traynor, a base on balls to Tutwiler and a force-out by Wickham of Tutwiler at second, allowed Null vey to cross the pan with the third Bear tally of the game.
 Dutch Clever Kid
 Dutch Bernsen was the hero of the contest. Not only did he get three smacks out of four times up, lam out his fourteenth homer, and make 1t circuit clout for the past four consecutive games In which he has participated, but he also put Schulte out three times in the fourth, as Umps Schaeffer's eyes went into eclipse on all three occasions. Twice Bernie caught the sleeping Schulte off first with the hidden ball trick, but Schaeffer failed to note the trick cry A minute thereafter Gooch saw Schulte taking big lead off the bag. and whipped the ball to Bernie for a putout. The umps missed the play for the third time. Schulte if nally died, however, when Golvin hit a liner to Taylor, and Tommy climb ed up in the air and speared it. He whipped the ball to first for double- play, and the umpire actually saw the put-out.

Court Adjourns Before Con. cIusion Of Burns Stay on
 Witness Stand

Chicago, July 19.-The state today turned it's full strength into the pros ecution of the Chicago White Sox baseball players and others charged with the alleged conspiracy which re- suited in the 1919 world series scan- dal, sending Bill Burns, who admitted being an accomplice of the de- fendants, and who turned states evil dence in return for immunity, to the witness stand to tell the inside story the games best players to gamblers, who wanted the series thrown to Gin cinnati.
 Burns, who was about one-third through his story when court ad- journed for the day. was on the stand long enough to name Arnold Roth stein of New York, Abe Attell, for mer featherweight pugilistic cham pion; Davis Zelser of Des Moines. one of the defendants; Billy Maharg of Philadelphia and himself as among the organizers of the alleged con- spiracy He drew a vivid verbal pie ture of numerous meetings between the players and the allegd fixers in Cincinnati hotels during the days of the first two games of the 1919 series, saying the athletes agreed to make the series made to order one." throwing gams just as desired. Cites Cicottc's statement Burns testified that Eddie Cicotte, one of the American leagues great est pitchers, said he would throw the first game if he had to throw the ball over the Sfence."
 Burns identified David zelser, de- fendant ,as a man he had known as Bennett during the forming of the alleged conspiracy, and declared that bennett, or Zelser. was present at most of the meetings when the all legged sell-out was arranged.
 Burns said Abe Attell had termed Rothstein walking bank" who would pay all he promised. but after the first game Attell refused to give him any money, saying he couldn't pay the players until he had collect ed the bets he made. The players

It came in the fifth with one man on, and a general hand shaking on the home bench followed Dutch's merry-go- round wallop. Every mate in the Baronial fold is pulling for the first sacker and field captain to hang up . new record in limit smashes this season. It might also, be worthy of comment that Bernie got three safe wallops out of four trips to the platter. One was the round-trip smash and the other two were sin gles.

 Getting back to the game proper. 1t behooves us to hand out floral design in the form of laurel wreath to Mike Eberhard. Mike, as usual, was in form, and the Bears found the greatest of difficulty when attempt ing to do anything with his hooks and fast ones. The stocky chunker held em to six wallops for the aft ernoon, while his mates were getting to Ray Roberts for 10 safe hits.
 Making a jump frame out of the first inning seems to be chronic with the Barons these days. and they fol- lowed through with these methods in the second straight victory over the Bears. Roberts did the very worst thing a pitcher can do when he walked Pie Traynor the first man to face him in the first frame. Walking. the first man is productive of a run, nine times out of ten. Pie proceeded to steal second immediately after the walk. thereby hanging up his forty second steal of the season. Stewart was an infield out, but Emery q, mped one down and beat it out Taylor hit to short, and Wagner, playing the short field, threw the ball wildly to second. All hands were safe, Traynor counting, Emery going safe at second and Taylor being sta

 Two TaIIies Across Kicks rompers proceeded to make it a three-run lead when they scored duo of runs in the second. With Clarke popping to first as strater in this frame Johnny Gooch played second in hand with two-time clout to left field. Eberhard put his foot on the patience pedal and his eye on the ball A walk to first was the re- suit. An error by the shortfielder on Traynor's grounder and a safe blow by Stewart over the keystone brought in the two tallies.
 The run market was stagnant un til the fifth. when the Bears threw their first scare into the Moleys and cut the locals lead down to one score. Guy Tutwiler was lead-off man in the fifth and he led off wi th a home-run drive, which was groove wallop over E-nery's head in center. That gave the visitors their first run. The next two men facing Ebhie were retired, but catcher Schulte took advantage of the pitchers generosity and got free pass to first, Roberts slam was a single to left and this

 "Bernieo On JOb
 A bit jealous over Guys home-run smack, and anxious to get those two talles back, Dutch Bernsen proceeded to accomplish just thkt thing in the homeling's half of the fifth. There was one down when Taylor singled. Mir, Bernsen followed him to the plate with an arm-load of ash. He swung viciously with this war club, and a resounding smack resulted Be- fore the outfelders could herd the ball and make the relay home, Dutch with cap in hand had sped around the sacks, touched the starting point, and smiled happily over his four teenth home-run lick of the summer.

 Burns said.
 Rothstein testified before the
 grand jury last fall that he was ap- preached on the deal, but refused to
 go into it, and that his name was
 used by Abe Attell without his per mission.
 Arguments Heated Burns testimony was broken by repeated arguments by the various attorneys who succeeded in having
 some of his testimony barred, par ticularly that dealing with a conver-
 sation with Cicotte in New York prior to the series.
 Burns entrance into the courtroom
 came in a dramatic manner. After
 Harry Grabiner and kid Gleason, secretary and manager respectively oe the White Sox club, testified that
 the players were under contract to the club during the world series.
 Taylor Spink, official scorer of the 1919 series. testified as to the scores of the various games. For 15 min
 utes those in court fidgeted with the defense repeatedly asking the cause
 of the delay.
 We are waiting for witness, your honor" said George German of the prosecution. We don't wish to divulge his name, as we don't want him interrupted on his way here" Finally. two private detectives en- tered. Behind them came Burns. followed by two more plain clothes
 men. The states chief witness walked through the section occupied by the defendants without looking at them.
 Burns Ia Cool On the stand, he spoke in low. even tone. which scarcely carried
 past the jury. and repeatedly wiped his forehead with his handkerchief.
 Finally he took off his coat. He fidgeted a bit during the legal argu
 ments over his testimony, but while he hesitated at times over questions,
 most of his answers came quickly.
 His testimony will be resumed to- morrow.
 Every seat and every inch of stand | ing room in the court was occupied by spectators. and when it became
 known that Burns was on the stand
