BUCK WEAVER
COMES CLEAN ON
BASEBALL deal
Offer of $4,000 Was Made
But the Player Had to
Refuse Despite His
Need for Cash.

CHICAGO.-An echo of the 1919
world series scandal was heard to-
day when 1t became known that
George Buck taver, former Chi
cago White Sox third baseman, had
personally appealed to Judge Kenesaw
NJ. Landis for statement in or
ganized baseba Al for the first
time had told baseball official his
version of the deal through which it
was alleged eight White Sox players
were bribed by gamblers to throw
games to the Cincinnati Reds.
Weaver, it has become known. ac-
tually appeared before Judge Lands
last week. but since his appeal was
personal one and not formal ap-
plcation, nothing was known Of 1t
publicly. In his plea TO the baseball
commissioner the third baseman rel.
terated his innocence and told story
which for many months has been
known to a, few OF his personal
friends, but which has never been
made public.
Offered $4,000 Share
Weaver, it is said declared that he
was approached by a White Sox play
er near the end OF the 1919 season and
asked IL he would join in a plan TO
throw the games in the worlds series
that fall. 1t was explained to him
that several other players had agreed
to deliberately lose contests and make
the series "made TO order one so
far as the gamblers were concerned.
Buck" was offered $4,000 as his
share II he agreed TO ''lay down.
Weaver. at that time had just opened
n drug store on the South Side, and
needed capital, he Is understood to
have told Judge lands. Thinking
over the proposition he found himself
faced with three possible courses OF
action:
/. To accept the bribe and helr
throw the series.
.. ITO refuse tho bribe and tel
Charles A. Comiskey. owner OF tn,
Sox, OF IL.
Z. To refuse the bribe and say
nothing, thus avoiding the odium ina
attaches to one who Switches" on Q
friend.
Needed Money Badly
The third baseman told Judge Ian
dis that while he needed the $4,000
badly in view OF his new business en-
terprises. II never entered his head Il
accept IL.
The only doubt In my mind,
Weaver Is said TO have informed th'
baseball commissioner, was whethe
should keep quiet about Il or tel
Mr. Comiskey. was not certain
Just what men. II any. had receives
propositions. or whether they accept
