pitch and tried his best, but the boys
couldn't hit behind him and the game
was lost just the same.
But Immediately upon the exposure
of evidence that gamblers had at
tempted to fix Cubs game, President
Johnson of the American League issued
bold statement that the game should
be investigated thoroughly by the Cook
County grand jury and the guilty, If
sIrv, exposed and punished. He even
laid the matter before Chief Justice
Mcdonald Of the Criminal Court.
1t seemed strange a lot of scandal
was being published regarding an in
consequential Cubs game and not a
word being printed about the White SoX
world series plot, rumors of which had
been heard all Summer. 1t was so out
of line that Hugh Brennan, an attor-
ney I knew, came to me with Sug-
geStion.
''If the grand jury is going to investi-
gate base ball." he said, "I think the
public would prefer that it look into
the doing of the White Sox in that
last world series, rather than into this
unimportant Cubs game. Do you think
your paper would print a letter from
some outstanding citizen suggesting such
an Investigations"
told him I thought it could be done
The next day he had letter, signed
by Fred M. Loomis, prominent busi-
ness man who had been strong White
SoX rooter. The letter was an appeal
for a thorough investigation of base
ball, one not directed only at the un-
important Cubs game, but one that
would clear up all the rumors of
crookedneSS in the 1919 world series.
Grand Jury Goes to Work.
THE letter was printed in two column
measure in my paper September 10.
1t undoubtedly expressed the wish,
not only of Loomis, but of thousands
of base ball fans eager for the truth.
Chief Justice Mcdonald Immediately
called for grand jury investigation
and issued subpoenas for about dozen
witnesses.
I was told the names of the witnesses
were furnished by President Johnson of
the American League. Among them
were six Chicago sport writers, but I
was left off the list, even though I had
been detailed by my paper for some
weeks on investigation Of base ball
gambling
I attended the grand jury session
that day as a reporter, but before it
was over I became volunteer witness
and the next day a lot of new sub
poenas were issued, including one for

TROM the very start of the base
- ball season of 1920, Kid Gleason,
fiery manager of Chicagos White


- ball season Of 1920, Kid Gleason,
fiery manager of Chicago's White
SoX, was on a constant watch
for evidence there had been crookedness
by some of his players in the 1919
world series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Seven players were on the suspected
list. But it was late in July before he
heard anything definite, and that hap
pened in New York City.
I was travelling with the team as rep
resentative of Chicago newspaper and
had been summoned by telephone to
meet Gleason in restaurant. Accom-
panied by Ring Lardner, I went to the
appointed place and was ushered to a
table in the dining room on the second
floor. In few minutes Gleason ap-
peared and quietly informed us he was
entertaining well known eX-prize
fighter downstairs at the bar and asked
us to come down in little while. He
asked that we pay no attention to him
and his guest, but just stand at the bar
as If we were strangers to him-and
keep our ears open.
Shortly after he left us we went
down to the bar and saw Gleason and
the ex-fghter talking together as they
ordered round after round of drinks
There, in the presence of Lardner and
myself, Gleason led the /ex-fighter into
talk on the world series of 1919. It
was clear to us he was leading the
man to talk for our benefit.
Ex-Pug Lets Cat Out of Bag.
s.VOU know and I know the whole
i thing was crooked" said Gleason.
Sure, I knew it," answered
the ex-fighter. II hated to see the boys
throwing you down, Kid, but I saw my
chance to make a lot of money and
I needed it. I thought could clean
up, but the big guy here in New York
double crossed me and never got what
was coming to me-"
"Rothstein crossed you," spoke up
Gleason SO that we would know who
was meant by the big guy"
He sure did," was the ex-fighter's
reply.
The next morning Gleason asked me
to join him in an automobile ride.
"I'll bring this whole thing out yet"
he said, and as it turned out, that affair
in the New York restaurant played an
important part in the exposure which
took place some two months later.
But, strange as it may seem, an in
consequential game of ball between the
Cubs and Phillies of the National
League furnished the wedge to split
the Sox scandal wide open.
On August 81, 1920, the Cubs were
scheduled against the PhillieS in Chi
cago. The game was played and no
one noticed anything strange about it,
except that Grover Cleveland Alexander
had pitched for the Cubs out of turn,
when it was thought Claude Hendrix
would be on the slab.
