Kauff wllh tho Inveatlgatlon would not
bo discussed by any of those connected
with th Investigation.
McOraw when n at the hotel this
evening and aked what hi testimony
wa before tho Orand Jury, replied t
"I cannot violate th confidence of the
Grand Jury by dlscumlng my testimony,
"I will say till, the Grand Jury U
after the gamblers more than tho ball
player. They ara out to ret them. I
hopo they put every onu of them In Jail."

John A. Heydler, president of the Na
tional Lengue, followed McOraw, He
uuve the inside story of the ousting ot
l,o(i Magee, fprtner Cub player! Hul

New York Giant because of their con
nection with activities of tho baseball
gambling syndicate,
Mr. Heydlor presented to the Grand
'ury duplicate of Ida report regard
ing hi Investigation of baiebntl gam
bling and game throwing,
lloth Comlskoy nnd llleason of the ,
Whlto Box naked mo to help them to
nsoertaln If them wa anything crooked
in the world' Merlea nf last year," teu
lied Mr. Heydlijr. "Their request was
made right niter the championship wa
nodded, I started nn Investigation and
at tho same tlma got in touch with
President Hn Johnson of tho Aniorlcun
I ensue, but ho did not seem to be over
(iitliushistlo about an Investigation."
Mr. Heydler told tho Grand Jury also
that ho hail furulshed all of thu evi
dence ho had obtained to President John
son, but was at a loe to know whether
the Utter had ever made any use of It.
Mr. Heydler testified that llube Hen
ton had told him about a telegram Du
tuo received from Hill Hums last fall
telling him to bvt on Cincinnati tn thu
world' Horlcsj that Hums had nssurod
Dubuo tho games wero "fixed" and to
bo sure and play the tip and play It big.
The accusation of Ilubo Dentoa
against "JJuok" Herxog of the Cubs and
Hal Cliona In regurd to the attempted
"frame" of a New York-Cub gamo last
year wore also Rono Into In detail by
Mr. Heydler. A copy of tho aHdavlta
made by Denton, Chno and Hertog nt
tho tlmo was shown to tho Orand Jury.
The testimony of Denton beforo tho
Orand Jury Inst Thursday and Denton'
nffldnvlt to Mr. Hoydler Inst spring In
regard to tho Chaso-Hersog attempt to
.llrlho Denton uro at wlda variance.
Denton will be recalled beforo the
Grand Jury to do eonio oxplnlnlng.
"We want to know Just which story
Denton would have u bcllovo, hi af
fidavit mado to Mr. Heydler or hi
testimony beforo us," said Gcorgo H.
Drlgham, the Orand Jury foreman, to
night. Mr. Hoydler told In dotal! how ho
und President Veeck of tho Chicago
Cubs had obtained a confession from
Uo Mngeo that Ii3 had attompted to
throw a gamo and that Mngee had
chown them a check sent him by Hal
jCliasa.
"Ono Incident In MaKee's enso Is
I think ho tried to throw thla gamo ho
amusing," said Mr. Heydler, "for whilo
really helped win It.
Mnnee Falls In CronUrd Attempt.
"In July, 1918, .Mngee wa playing
second for Cincinnati against Doston.
He came to bat with two out, and hit
an easy (rounder which took a had
bounco and ho waa safe, He was
ordered to steal second, and ambled
down. When half way to sucoud, ho
stopped, but Art Wilson mado a wild
throw nnd Mncco Had to co on to iniru
Ift might have scored with the tying
run, I think, If he hnd tried, hut he
didn't Then Ttoueh knocked a homo
run. Mngee had to ouinc in wllh the
tying run and ItouslVa run, or course,
won tho game."
Mri .Hevdlcr told tho Grand Jury that
In hli'oVlnlbn President Dan joiinson
should havo taken immediate action
Inst fall and Instituted nn Investigation
of his own.
"If baseball to-day had a real govern
ing body n scandal like this ono could
hBimen." said Mr. Heydlor to tho
Grand Jury. "The moment anything
went wrong tha manager or tho owner
would notify tho tribunal ana justice
wnnld be nulckly admmlBtorcd. Tllo
present governing body of tho major
leagues should be reiegaicu 10 mo acray
heap Immediately. It has lost its punch.
"Take tho two dominating head of
the- National Commission at the tlmo of
tho world' scries last year. That is Dan
Johnson and Garry Herrmann, head of
tho Cincinnati team. Tho players ac
cused were Whlto Sox player and tho
winning team wa Cincinnati. Do you
get my point?
"The National Commission waa head
ed by Garry Herrmann, president of tho
Cincinnati team. Naturally ho wouldn t
want to detract from the glory ot his
team winning by assisting In tho Investi
gation of crooked work on tho part of
his team's opponent and the bitter feel
ing between President Johnson of Uie
Amorican League nnd Charles Comlskey
of the White Sox mitigated against any
real assistance from President, Johnson.
"Tli fact aro self-evident tho eight
Indicted player of the Whlto Sox havo
been pcrmlted to play nit season. Presi
dent Comlskey of tho Whlto Sox at tho
close ot tho world's series held up their
check for uovcral weeks. With a big
-ih,inii. takln: in not only America but
Canada as well, to watch over baseball, I
thla would havo ocen linpouaioir, every
lcoguo should be under one governing
body, major, minor and nil of tho rest
of'ilicm, and baseball gambling and
crooked games will become a thing ot
the post" ,
Mr. ncydlcr wa cheered by tho
Grand Juror after ho had ended his tes
timony nnd wna leaving the room. He
waa requested to reappear aa a wit
ness after the world' scries. In this
request further Indication wero cen
that the September Orand Jury would
continue as a special body after this
month. Mr. Heydler explained tho
cheoring ot the grand Jurors to thoso
outalde of the chamber room by Bay-!
lng: ,
"They wero thanking me for the time
I gavo to them." j
"The thanks should have been re
versed," h added. "Tho Jurcr them
iolve should bo thanked for tho tlma
they aro giving to cleaning up crooked
baseball."
Jenlons Over Dnll Inquiry.
Tho investigation apparently has
wrecked the moralo of tho State's Attor
ney' oce nnd caused petty Jealousy to
creep out among different assistants. Tho
Investigation was orlginnlly Instituted
under Prosocutor Hartley Replogle. Ora
P. Llghtfoot then -took a hand In tho
matter and to-day after tho voting of
the indictment tho prosecutor were
ready to turn loose "now" for the pub
lic, which ha been suppressed,
At this point Edwin J. Daber, First
Assistant State' Attorney, Injected him
self into the inquiry -nd stating that Ja
was acting on orders of Maclay Hoyne,
who Is in Now York, ordered all "newa"
suppressed:
'There will bo threo more indictments
returned against gamblqra and possibly
three National Leaguo pjayrs," said
Mr. Iicplogle to-night
The man wo wane' to m ono or
the biggest gambler in Now Ycrk city.
Just the moment wa tu? nur lli.yers on
the ovldonco connecting htm with tho
fixing of the White Sox players wfc will
vote a true bill."
The Grand Jury la not expected fo
hold n "baseball" session to-morrow.
However, It is known that two more
players are negotiating to confess, and
if they do this will change the plan, and
iucuvn nui uv jicuru io-ay.

Clear of blame and towering ab'nvo the
baseball ineis which has been brought
to tight In Chicago stand the man of
sorrow of the American League
Charlca Comlskey, owner, of the ma
ligned White flox,
flufferlnir from n chronic Illness that
lisa laid him low repeatedly In tho Inet
threo years, chagrined over tho disclos
ure that followed fast In tha wuko oi
tho confession of Uddlo Clcotte, wit i
tho gamo which ho ha helped so much
to lift to a high Piano dragged through
tha muck l with hi Whlto Box. only two
day ii ko fnnnldnblo contender for an
other pennant, destroyed iy ma Ram
bler' offering Comlskey truly Is an ob
ject of pity.
Homo or comisKoy colleagues in ui
Amorican Leaguo nlready have condole I
wlOi him. He deserve the condolence
of tho entire bnsoball world. H Is n
question whether ho will be ablo to sur
vive tho blow, Of all men connected
with major loguo baseball Comlskey.
In tho opinion of baseball player, and
writers, should have been tho last to bn
selected by fatn for thl Intrigue nnd Its
stunning effects,
It I said that Comlskey hai more
friends than tho owner of nny other
baseball club In the major league, and
these U a largo mensuro ho owe to hi
straightforwardness. Ho has made en
emies, but only because of hi relentless
Inslstenco nn playing the gamo fair nnd
equnro and hi policy ot tnklng advan
tage of no man. In hla dcnlliiR with
his plnyers he hn beon tho father to
many, tho adviser to most of thorn and
tin liberal, squnro dealer to all,
Couldn't Conrelro Such Thing.
nmimm nm of Comlskey' men had
taken advantage of hi policy. Thov
lind cornered him when they knew that
he needed them nnd hnd dragged unrcn
sonablo contract from him. Hut never
did ho suspect that any of hla men
would fall so low na to sell him along
with tho rest of tho baseball world, for
a fow pultry dollars.
Comlskey has grown up with baseball,
and In It. Ho hn been bnt boy, player,
manager, owner. He has risen from tho
minor lenguo to tho ownership of an
American League pennfflit winner and a
team which won the world' erle, the
highest position to be nttnlned by any
mortoln playing tho national game. Al
woy he ha been ln tho van of tho
progressives, lighting for reform In the
dealings of owners nmong themselves
nnd In their denllnRi with their players.
And to-day that man Is tho Job of baso
ball. It doesn't seem right
"Commie" no longer Is a young man.
Hr is In hla sixties and silver gray. He
w i born In Chicago, played on the ssnd
1 there and hung around tho ball park
nR a lino oil Iho old tnr. It wa
i 882 that he! broke Id n a profes
ii' il with Dulninu. tii next season
hi. him graduated Into the old Amerl
i; Association a a member df tho St
1,im trilreWna. With the llrown Comls
k . attained a reputation aa a great first
Im man. It was lie, student of tho game
n , who originated the systemf play
In. nway from tho bag. Ho revolution
It' llio art ot playing first base.
.Mnnnuer of Ilrovrns In 1884.
; lBJt Comlskey became captain and
i,i ager ot the llrown and In 1389, '86,
I", and '88 ho won tho pennant with
tin In 1880 his club defeated the Chi-
it i' pennant winner of tho National
l,AKtuo In a post season series. Tho
Chicago were led by the famous Cap
Anton.
Hi 1800 Comlskey, persuaded that the
yV'.ers were not getting a squaro deal,
lnu.i with tho Chicago ciun ot tno
, Uf'vherhood, When that III fated ven
, failed he went back to St Louis.
' , 1892 he uldcrtook tho management
oi uio Cincinnati Nationals, In 1835 re
bacamo a club owner, taking over the Fit
Paul club of tho Western League, which
organisation was destined to grow Into
tho American League.
When tho American League came Into
bolng In 1800 Comlskey transferred his
St Paul outfit to Chicago., And there
ho has been over since. There he ha
seen his Whlto Sox win flvo pennant
In 1000, 1901, 1006, 1017, and, unhap
pily, In 1919. There ho saw hi Whito
Sqx beat the Cubs for tha world's title
In 1006, nnd win thnt honor aguln In
1.017 at tho expenso of tho Olant.
Comlskey felt confident that his club
would triumph again this icaabn and
piny In a fourth world's scries. But
tho Indictments nnd hi suspension of
tha seven players under charges tiavo
wrecked that hope.
In addition to furthering the progress
of baseball in (his country Comlskey
spread the diamond gospol abroad In tho
fall and winter of 1013-1014, whon he
and John McOraw led two teams on a
world tour, Comlskey had been plan

THE STOfcY OF

An Exhibition of
Temper
The pure bred Malemute dog, whfle.
obedient and docile to a firm master, is
anything but gentle with a stranger or with
other dogs. At feeding time, a spirit of
fierce competition develops and each dog
bolts his food a3 rapidly as possible, since
the last scraps wil be 'fought for fiercely. by
the entire team. An Eskimo dog will eat
anything, including hia, own harness, if it
is carelessly left within reach. They are
usually fed at the end of the 'journey , as"
they are unfit for work .for several hours;'
after they have eaten.
