 The grand jury's investigation. started last September, resulted in indictment of two former major league players, Hal Chase and Bill Burns, two alleged gamblers, and q former champion pugilist, Abe At tel, besides the eight players on charges that they had conspired for the White SoX team to deliber- ately lose games in the 1919 world series with the Cincinnati Reds, It also was charged that certain Sox players had accepted bribes ranging as high as $10, ,000 to throw C"mes.
