OF his testimony Of how gamblers con-
spired with the White Sox players TO

Attorney Thomas B. Nash. of the de-
fense, asked Burns if he had testified
on direct examination that he met Ris-
berg, Weaver, and Felsch In Cincin-
natl hotel the morning Of the day be-
fore the first game OF the series.
"Yes," answered Burns.
Don't you know those players were
out at Redland field practising at that
time?' shouted Nash.
'iDon't you know most of the play
ers went to the races that afternoon
and weren't at the hotel" Mash shout
ed.
Il saw them at the hotel said
Burns.
Did Not Go To Room
Nash got Burns to admit he did
not go to room 708 of the SintOn hOtel
the night after the first game and did
not see the players that night.
Mr.. Mash then read from the record
CT Burns testimony of yesterday that
he went to room 7OS that night and

There was some argument be-

English premier as to the text Of
the communique issued to the press.
The Irish delegation submitted the
first draft of the communique to
which Mr.. Lloyd George withheld
his assent. His substitute failed to
meet approval of the Irish repre-

ensued before a draft mutually sat
