TINE grand jury investigation Of
crookedness in the world series
of 1919 between the Chicago
White Sox and the Cincinnati
Reds opened September %, 1920, ana
the next six days proved to be the
most hectic in all base ball history.
The affair started in a quiet manner,
despite the tremendous interest of the
fans who jammed the Criminal Court
building eager for news. For time
it even looked as if it all would end
in one day with a complete whitewash
for everybody suspected
The investigation was in charge of
Assistant States Attorney Replogle.
Less than three hours were required to
hear all of the witnesses summoned by
subpoena, including President Veeck OF
the Cubs, Comiskey of the White SoX,
President Johnson of the American
League and half dozen Chicago sports
writer's. Incidentally, not one of the
writer's summoned believed the yarns
about crookedness in the previous
world SERIES
One by one, the witnesses were called
into the jury room and questioned by
Replogle One by one they came out,
some of them after no more than five
minutes of questioning and the report

got nothing. l was one of the reporters
and soon began to fear the investigation
would end as a flop.
Voluntary Witness Talks.
WHEN one of the reporters went in
w the jury room asked him to tell
Replogle l would volunteer to be
a witness if he cared to hear me. When
all who had been officially summoned
had been heard, I was asked to come
in.
1t was almost 80 minutes before
was excused from the witness chair.
After few pointed questions, I asked
to Just go ahead" and tell my story.
Most of my story consisted of my
work with Kid Gleason to find some
tangible evidence of crookedness in the
series. I included the incident in the
New York restaurant when I heard an
eX-fghter tell Gleason he knew the
boys had been throwing him down and
thought he had chance to make lot
of money out Of it, but had been double
crossed by a big New York gambler.
This brought the name of Arnold Roth
stein into the investigation. also told
about Sammy Pass.

reporters and instead of giving
them ''whitewash" story, as expected,
he startled them by saying the investi-
cation had only begun and that he
proposed to summon witnesses from all
over the country and make thorough
cleanup. He announced the investi-
CATION would go on the next Gay and
that subpoenas would be issued for
new witnesses.
Later. I walked out of the building
with Replogle and when we reached
the street, he shook hands with me
and said: Until you went to the wit

The first witness called the next day
was Sammy Pass, the Sox rooter and
former pal Of all of the players, who
had lost about $4,000 betting on them
to win the world series and had been
so thoroughly convinced his friends had
thrown him down that he had quit
going to ball games Sammy was on
the witness chair for more than an
hour.
After his evidence had been taken,
subpoenas was issued for many more
witnesses, including the dentist who
mad worked on Buck Weaver's teeth,
and Mrs. Kelley. who ran the boarding
house where Eddie Cicotte lived and
who had overheard him saying to
another player in the bath room: What

had been working on Weaver's teeth

DAN JOHNSON. president of Il

Dan JOHNSON, president of the
~ American League, who had testi-
flied the first day and according
to Replogle, had told nothing of con-
sequence, got busy when the investi-
cation was continued. He summoned
ball player of the st. Louis club to
come and testify, and this player told
OF betting on the Reds after getting
information from st. Louis gambler
that the games were fixed.
President Heydler of the National
League came on from the East : and
brought Rube Benton, National
League player, as witness and he t6ld
OF having received a telegram from
Hal Chase, then a National League
player, advising him to bet on the Reds
to win the first two games and the
series.
Whlle these bombs were bursting in
the grand jury room in Chicago, the
White Sox, still using seven of the eight
suspected players, were playing three
game series in Cleveland. They lost
all three of the games, which gave the
pennant to Cleveland. The previous
week, the Sox had played three games
in Chicago against the New York Yam
KEGS, who seemed almost sure of win
ming the pennant, but were knocked
out of it because the Sox trounced them
in all three games.
Suspected In Cleveland Win.
WHEN the Sox team returned from
w Cleveland September 26, with
the grand jury investigation
still going on and witnesses coming
from all over the country, including
Arnold Rothstein from New York,
was asked to meet Eddie Collins, Red
Faber and Ray Schalk, Sox players.
They had not spoken to their seven
suspected teammates at any time dur
ing that 1920 season, except when 1t
was necessary in a ball game
They told me they were convinced
the same men had tossed away the
games in Cleveland, deliberately hand
ing the pennant to that team, possibly
because they had bet on them to beat
the Yankees out of the flag
The next day a bomb burst In Phila-
delphta that shattered the nerves of
at least one of the suspected Sox players.

 The market made its high flor the last two years on July IS with the Dow-Jones industrial average at 1OS.67 It fell from that level to .S8.42 on July 22 in several days of sharp declines. Since then un- til yesterday fluctuations have been small. Yesterday the average rose 3.29 points to 95.S4 and to-day 1t climbed toward the 100-mark.
 Gains to-day ranged upward to ' points. Repeal shares featured on expectation of early end. of the 18th amendment. Oils were better o imminent acceptance by the government of a revised code.

Utilities rallied on a favor able electricity output statement. Motors gained on sales increases. Sugars jumped ahead on prospect of supply reduction by the Cuban revolution.
 The principal factor in the rise was the change in Wall street on the outlook for the. dollar. Just now the outlook, accoring to close observers with government connec- tions, is that imitation will be con- tinued to the extent of dollar de- valuation.

Attorney John Burns, manager and chief counsel, of the Waterbury branch, stated when talked with early this afternoon that the first days rush was heayi- est, that yesterdays showed q strong dropping off and that to- days total was very small.
 Up to 1 o'clock 22 applications for aid from the Home Loan bank had been received. On Monday between 55 and 60 had been filed Yesterday the total ran almost as high as 45. The above figures, compared with to-day's, show that the run on the local branch or. flee is almost complete.
 Attorney Burns, in perusing the records to date of applications on file found that the average re- quests for mortgages involve amounts ranging from $&oo0 to $5,000. <
 There has not been, as yet, any official tabulation of the requests for loans in Waterbury and vi cinity. However. it is expected that the tabulation will show that close to $600,000 has been asked for by applicants appearing at the Waterbury office.
