 "Comiskey knew after the first game of the 1919 worlds series that there was crookedness," said Ray mond A. Cannon, attorney for Frisch. 'tYet Felsch was not officially noti- fled of his discharge until this let- ter dated March 16, 1921 was sent to him"
 Regarding disputed salary, Felseh's counsel said that Felsch wrote to Comiskey and informed him that he had received a letter mentioning "ehecl enclosed" but stating that no check was enclosed. comisley wrote back that the check had been sent he said. and asked Felseh to send an affidavit that he had not received it.
 "Affer Felsch sent the affidavit said Cannon "he received letter from ComIskey telling him that he had turned the entire matter over to a Chicago law firm.
