HARDING BACKS u S. COMMANDERS
PLAYERS WERE CHARGED
WITH THROWING SERIES

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE state
today dropped the cases against all of
the Chicago White Sox baseball
players indicted on the charge of
throwing the 1919 World Series ex-
cept Chick Gandil. The action was
taken after Judge William Dever had
refused to grant a continuance of
more than 60 days in the case, The
state demanded 6 months on the
ground that it would take that time
to gather evidence to give he prose-
cution a chance of conviction. States
Attorney Grove announced that an
attempt would be made to gather new
evidence and that new indictments
would be sought against the men.
The players whose cases were drop
ped were those who had surrendered
and given bail: Claude Williams, Joe
jackson, Oscar Felch. Sweede Ris-
berg, Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver
and Fred McMullin. The cases of
the Gandil, Hal Chase, Rachel Brown,
Joseph Sullivan, Abe Attel and Bill
Burns were stricken off the court call
by Judge Dever. They arc charged
with being the men who arranged the
alleged conspiracy. Taking the cases
OIL the call list prevents their being
called again for six months.
