Paris Says Football Players
Accepted Money After Game
Three Gamblers Charged
With Abetting In
Bride Attempt

NEW YORK, March 4. -U.R-
Two New York Giant football
players involved in a bride offer
accepted $500 each after the
Giants defeated the Washington
Redskins last fall, Alvin j. Paris,
convicted in the professional foot
oall attempted fix, testified today.
Paris testimony in the trial
Of three gamblers charged with
abetting the bride attempt was
the first indication that players
Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes
had accepted money from the
gamblers.
Paris said he paid the money
10 the men as winnings On bets
he made for them when they told
him the Giants would defeat the
Redskins on Dec. 8. The Giants
Won the game and the chance to
meet the Bears in the title match.
The bride offers involved in
Paris conviction and the current
trlal were made In an effort to
Fix" the game with the Bears.
Paris said that Filchock at first
refused the money but later he
accepted it. He said that Hapes
accepted the money at a dinner on
the night of the Redskins game.
Paris testimony highlighted the
prosecutions case today in the
trial of Harvey Stemmer, con-
victed briber, David Krakauer and
jerome Zarowitz. All three were
described by the prosecution to-
day as the Board of directors in
the plot to fix the championship
game.

minor league chieftain, on the
action. taken on B%rittain's second
appeal for reinstatement.
Phillip Piton, assistant to Traut-
man. told the News from his
Columbus office, no action has
been taken on Shuney's most re
cent bid for reinstatement.
The Britain case has not chang
ed in any way that l know Of"
Piton said, "Trautman is out OF
town for a week, and if he is
handling Brittain's appeal. l konw
nothing Of it,"
Britain sent eight letters from
local fans, and a couple from state
officials to Chandler and Traut-
man, which argued for the return
of the former Pirate boss to the
list of eligible players in baseball.
He said today he was ready to
follow those letters with a personal
appearance anywhere in the
country, in order to get the decision
of the Executive committee re-
versed. The committee, headed by
Clarence Rowland, Pacific Coast
league president, denied Britain
first appeal.
Chandler was absent from his
Cincinnati office, and could not
be reached for further develop
ments.

game On Dec. Is. Hapes did not
play with the Giants because the
bride offer was known before TIE
game. Filchock played and threw
two touchdown passes for the
Giants only scores.
Paris said today that Stemmer,
although a prisoner serving a SEN
tence for bribery of Brooklyn
basketball players, not only placed
bets and attempted to Fix" a
sports event, but also spent his
evenings with showgirls and other
companions.
Paris said Stemmer, Who was
serving his sentence as Va trlsty
at Bellevue hospital, came to his
apartment the night before the
Giants-Bears game.
He said he told Stemmer of his
attempts to bride Filchock and
Hapes. He also told him, he said,
that F'ilchock agreed to think over
the possibility of throwing the
game.
Stemmer, Paris testified, told
him to give the information to
krakauer.
Assistant District Attorney
George Monaghan in his statement
to the jury today accused Paris
and mis- gambling associates of
attempting to fix the Giants game
with the Redskins as well as the
game with the Bears.
Filchock, the first witness called
to the stand, denied that he
knew Stemmer, Krakauer or FARO
wiz but acknowledged that he
knew Paris.
Filchock said when Paris asked
him whether a football game could
be fixed he answered. NO. and
even if it could be, I wouldn't"
Paris was charged with offering
the two players $500 each tc
throw the game with the Bears.

nouncement by the Society.
Higgins is the only jeweler in
Wilmington eligible to s h e
title Registered Jeweler Ameri-
can Gem Society which indicates
that he has passed the diamond
grading a d other examinst tons
established by the International
society. 1t also proves that he is
qualified in the new scientific
knowledge of grades, qualities

In the jewelry business here for
the past 20 years, Higgins took
several courses by CORE
spondence from tn Genealogical
Institute of America in the study
of diamonds, other gemstones and
their substitutes as we'll as the
study Of precious metals and sill
verWare.
The American G e m Society is
an international professional or
ganization and has as its purpose
the development of a scientific
knowledge of gemstones by the
general public, as well as by the
jeweler.
Special courses in gemology,
make it possible for the modern
|ieWeler to follow the precedent Of
the banker, h insurance man,
the optometrist and others in en-
bracing adult education as a
necessary part of his preparation
to best serve the public.
The Society registers only such
Jewellers as have an adequate
knowledge of gemology plus the
required practical experience and
a proved record of integrity in
their business practices through
the scientific study of jewelry.
Thus, in keeping with the scien-
tific trend of the times the Ameri-
