DEFENSE GOES TO

OF BALL PLAYERS
BOTH SIDES JOG THROUGH A
LABYRINTH OF LEGAL
TECHNICALITIES

Chicago. July 1S.-After two weeks
warming up during which nearly 600
men were examined to select a jury,
defense and prosecution today indulg-
ed in the first inning Of the trial Of
seven former White Sox players and
four alleged gamblers charged with
conspiracy to permit Cincinnati to
win the 1919 world series from Chi
cago.
The defense went to bat" with half
a dozen motions designed to keep
states attorneys scurrying to all
corners of the legal diamond" to
prevent the defense fom sewing
up" the game before it is fairly
started
There were indications that the
twelve umpires in the jury box may
be asked to decide merely whether
such a conspiracy as the state
charges was against Illinois law rath-
er than if such conspiracy actually
existed
The defense planned today TO ask
that Bill" Burns alleged accomplice
Of the defendants and Joe Gedeon,
former St. Louis player, be compelled
TO talk. These men are said to be
star states witnesses, relied upon
to strike" out the contentious Of the
defense. The defense also planned
today to ask the arrest Of Burns who
is under indictment, although never
officially apprehended; to ask that
the grand jury statements Of Eddie
Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Will
lizms be barred and that no mem
bers of the grand jury be allowed TO
testify, that all evidence of gambling
be barred as the indictments do not
mention gambling, and that the last
two counts in the indictments charg-
ing conspiracy to defraud Catcher
Ray Schalk and the Chicago club be
stricken out.
With these motions likely to involve
the case in the maze Of legal tangles,
the defense also planned to inject into
the trial the feud between Premier
Ban Johnson of the American League
and Charles A Comiskey OF the
American League Chicago club, in an
effort TO show Johnson instigated the
plan TO block Comiskey's chances OF
winning another pennant.
