12 TTTE OREGONIAX, TTTCTRSDAT, JULY 21, 1921 DEFENSE ATTORNEYS GRILL BILL BURNS Witness Fights Give-and-Take Battle for State. STORY IS LITTLE SHAKEN Admitted Accomplice Does Xot Weaken on Essential Facts, Though Confused on Details. CHICAGO, July 20. Bill Burns, the state's chief etrengrth in the baseball trial, today finished his story of how he and others conspired with eight Chicago White Sox players for them to throw the 1919 world's series to Cincinnati. The admitted accomplice in the al leged eell-out then withstood three hours of nerve-racking cross-examination by two defense attorneys, in which he fought a give-and-take bat tle. He never weakened in the es sential facts of his etory, although several times badly confused on in cidental details. Chicago Meetings Related. After finishing his etory of Cincin nati conferences between himself, Abe Attell and liennett, whom he identi fied yesterday as David Zelser of Des loines, Iowa, a defendant. Burns told of further meetings in Chicago, of ihow the players double-crossed the alleged "fixers" by winning the third ecatne when they were not paid after the first two and of how he agreed with Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and John Tyrrell, assistant state's attorney, to come to Chicago and testify for the state. He denied that he was paid other than liis expenses for his testimony and that he was promised any reward.. He was then turned over to James C (Ropes) O'Brien, who earned his r.ickname and fame in the middle west by sending many men to the gallows when he was assistant etate's attorney. Defense Gains Admission. Mr. O'Brien obtained from Burns what may prove a damaging point to the state. Burns had testified on di rect examination to twice meeting "Chick" Gandil in the Warner hotel .In Chicago while games were' being played here. After having Burns repeat the story, O'Brien said: "And Gandil told you that he was through and would not throw any more games, that he would not ac cept your offers of money that ," began O'Brien. "If you say he did, I guess he did," Burns replied sharply. "He's your client and he knows more about this case than I do. Ask him if you want to know all the details." Barns Asked If He Lied. Concerning his statement that he told the ball players in a hotel room in Cincinnati that he "had JIOO.OOO for the Berles to be thrown," O'Brien asked Burns if he had not lied then. "No," said Burns. "But you didn't have J100.0OO on your" "I meant I could get ." started Burns. "Answer yes or no," said O'Brien. "No. 1 did not have it." It was on such points as this that Burns got in the most trouble during the questioning. But when questioned closely about alleged meetings with the players, the witness was not shaken in his first story. On direct examination Burns said he was present when a St. Louis man volunteered to put up money to have the games thrown, but did not know the man's name. After Mr. O'Brien, Thomas Nash, representing Buck Weaver, took up another style of ex amination. An hour before the opening of the third day of the trial this morning, the doors of the courtroom were or dered closed. Kvery seat was taken. Fan Are Dlnnppofnted. Hundreds of disappointed fans crowded the corridors and waited out side the building to watch the arrival of the former star ball players, who yesterday were accused by Burns of planning to lose the series in return for $100,000 to be paid by a gambling syndicate. Oeorge Gorman, assistant state's at torney, resumed his questions con corning meetings in Cincinnati hotels when Burns took the stand. "When you were in room 70S of the Hotel Sinton the day of the second game, what happened?" asked Gor man. "Attell and several others were there." answered Burns. "Attell said Hothstein had J200.000 to bet on the series but it was hard to get bets down and he did not want to give me any money. 1 insisted on at least $10,000. Attell showed me piles of money under a mattress. Forty thou sand dollars was due the players then. Attell in talking of Rothstein said Rothstein had a private tele frraph wire from New York to Cin cinnati and someone said that Pitts burg gamblers were in on the deal. I don't know who aid that. Attell, liennett and Maharg were there. Someone said the Pittsburg gamblers had a hard time getting money down. money lmler Mattrrns. "Attell then took $10,000 from under the mattress and gave "it to me. I offered it to Maharg. He wouldn't take it. I put it In my shirt and took it up to the players' rooms I passed 'Kid Gleason on the way. Kisberg and McMuliin were in the hotel room 1 don't recall the others. Later Cicotte and Gandil came in, and I gave the $10,000 to Gandil. There were two other players there." In question and answer form the testimony was as follows, Mr. Gor man conducting the questioning: "What did the players say?" riayrr Held Double-Croaivrd. "Gandil said they had been double crossed. Attell said they must win the third game the neM day so as to improve the odds, which then were 3 to 2 in favor of Chicago. Attell eaid the odds must be better." "What were Attell's words?" ''He said if the players would win the third game, the odds would change and the players could be paid-" What rid the players say?" "Gandil said they had lost for a regular pitcher and they wouldn't win for a "husher.' " "Pid they know who was going to pitch the third game?" "I'm. "Dick Kerr. I then went to the train to go to Chicago." "Before going to Chicago, let's go to New York. Tell the Jury of the conversation you had with Cicotte in New York." The defence objected, citing Judge Friend's ruling yesterday when this conversation was barred. Judge Krlend again barred the con versation for the time being, reserv ing the right to reverse his ruling when the state privately informed him that the alleged conspiracy had its Inception with this meeting be tween Cicotte "and Burns. Cicotte. and Burns met In the writ ing room of the Ansonia hotel, dis cussed the "throwing" of the series and met there again the next day with Maharg and Gandil and decided to get the gamblers to back the deal, Mr. Gorman said in arguing the point. Burns then resumed his testimony. "Who came to Chicago with you?" "Maharg." "Did any of the players come along?" "No." "Where did you meet Attell, In Chicago?" "Sherman hotel." "Anybody witih Attell?" "No." "Tell us what he said." Money Lot en Third Game. "He asked about winning the third game. I called up Gandil about it." "What did Gandil say?" "Gandil said the game would go the same way." "When did you meet Attell next?" "In the lobby with Bennett that night about 6 o'clock. They said they went down to Cincinnati and lost a lot of money when Chicago won the third game. I said I did the same. I met them again at 8:30 P. M. We talked over the games coming. At tell told me to see the players and fix things up. Attell saiid he bet $10,000 or $20,000 on the third game and lost. He said he would give $45,000 to have the next two -games thrown, but wanted to bet it, paying the players $20,000 after the fourth game and $25,000 after the fifth." "What did you do?" "I went to the Warner hotel to see the playera about 10 P. M." "Who was there?" Gandil Says He's Through. "Gandil. He said he was through w'th the deal and wouldn't talk about it. He said they were out to win the rest of the series. Then I saw Risberg and McMuliin. They eaiid the players met before the third game and decided to go out to win" "What did theysay?" "They said they had been double- crossed. Risberg said he would go through and throw the games. I said I would see they were paid." w no did you see then? "Attell the next day. We went to man's room and met Joe Gedeon Some St. Louis man and some other men were there. Attell said he could get $20,000 from some bankers. He said some St. Louis man would put ui some of the money." Slice of 910,000 Refused. "Just what did the St. Louis man say?" "He said he would put ud half of the money. Then I went to see the players at the Warner. I saw Gandil, but he said again he was through. I asked about my cut of the $10,000 I gave him. He said he didn't have the money and that I wouldn't get anv. I told him I would tell everything about tne game throwing. I went to the Sherman hotel and told Attell it was all off. I had no more talks with Attell about the games. Maharsr and I went back to Cincinnati for the last two games there. Then I went back to New York. I never talked with the players in Cincinnati." "Who did you see on the train?" "The mayor of Cincinnati and" Rine Lardner." SWIM FEAT HELD TXUSUAL Seattle Man Crosses Elliott Bay In 1:32:45.2. George Douglas, a Portland swim ming instructor, yesterday received Information in a letter from Don Vickers of the Crystal pool of Se attle of a remarkable swim feat which took place in the Puget sound city Monday, when E. A. Banfield negotiated the waters of Elliott bay a distance of little more than a mile and a half In 1 hour 32 minutes 45.2 seconds. According to Douglas, who former ly resided in Seattle, this is one of the few times Elliott bay has ever been crossed by a swimmer. Douglas declares it is also a test of real open water swimming, as the water of Puget sound is cold and the distance of the swim Is longer than most swimmers care to remain in the chilly waters. Using the breast stroke, Banfield continued at a steady pace and fin ished strong. His system for cold water swimming is to keep the head above water and dry at all times.

THE DAYS OF r.TlaH WEDNESDAY TO SEE BOXERS AT IT AGAIN Simonich to Fight Murphy on Milwaukie Headliner. BOTH BOYS AGGRESSIVE Yonng Sam Langford and Abe Meslikind Matched for Semi Final Wind-fp. BY DICK SHARP. The padded mitts will fly again next Wednesday night at the Milwau kie arena with Joe .Simonich, the aggressive Butte, Mont., welterweight, meeting Frankie Murphy in the main event of ten rounds. Simonich, although not rated as the classiest fighter in the world, has a long string of victories to his credit and lost his first bout in five years to Dave Shade. He has beat Soldier Barfield of New York and others. He fought a draw with Travie Davis in Seattle last season, but it was agreed by all who witnessed the match that he had a shade because of his agressiveness. Murphy fought his way Into the hearts of local fans at' the armory several weeks ago when he gave away 12 or 15 pounds in weight to Jack Edmundson and then handed lacing to Edmundson. Murphy hasn't won every fight he has taken part in on the Pacific coast, but he has never put up a poor battle. Win or lose the Denver boy is always in the ring fighting from the first gong. Frankie is one of the few welter weights in the country holding ref eree's decisions over Johnny Tillman and Bryan Downey. Both of these boys are among the classiest in the game at their weight. He gave Dave Shade two tough fights, many of the fans being of the opinion that he should have received a draw in his last tangle. Simonich will leave Butte for Port land today and complete his training at the Olympic gymnasium. Murphy is already here training. The semi-windup of the Wednesday bill will find Young Sam Langford, the Seattle negro 130-pounder, boxing Abe Mishkind, the highly touted Salt Lake youngster who arrived here last week. Both Langford and Mishkind are first-rate mixers and their bout is about the most attractive looking semi-final match that has graced Milwaukie card for sometime. The remainder of the card will be completed by Matchmaker Kendall this afternoon. He will pit local boys who like to fight in the preliminary settos. Seattle fans wm nave plenty of bod ing this week. Two cards are slated. Jimmy Darcy of Portland, will box Battling Ortega of Oakland. Cal., in the main event of a show tonight with Clair Bromeo of Portland, tangling with Frankie Rogers of Seattle, in the semi-wind a p. Saturday night the winner of the Bromeo-Rogers go will box Joe Simonich in the main event of a card to be staged by the Seattle Elks. Johnny Trambitas of Portland, will meet Eddie Jackson of Seattle, in the semi-windup of the Saturday bill. He left yesterday for the north. Tom O'Rourke, the veteran manager of fighters, who was in Portland sev eral weeks with Fred Fulton, has not retired from the boxing game alto gether as reported. Several weeks ago he turned his table of mixers over to Jim Buckley in New York and an nounced that he would devote his time to real estate. Several days later O'Rourke was ap pointed as one of the deputy boxing commissioners of New York at a sal ary of $4000 a year. So he will still be Identified with the boxing game although in a different capacity. Lloyd Madden, the Seattle welter weight, who fought in Portland a number of times, being knocked out in a few rounds by Frankie Murphy in his last appearance here, is now boxing in Alaska with success. Earl Fulton, a younger brother of Fred Fulton, has taken up boxing as a career and recently made his debut in the middle west by knocking out some fellow.

Lane of Seattle continues as the lead ing base stealer, but during the last wek Pick of Sacramento has tied the Seattle man. both having pilfered 30 bases. Mc Gaffigan of Sacramento is a close second, with 29 stolen bases, while Mollwitz of Sacramento is right behind with 28. The Sacramento team is the leading team at stealing baKes, due primarily to the work of Pick, McGaffigan. Mollwitz, Kopp and Compton. who make regular assaults on the bags. The Sacramento team has a total of 145 stolen baps, with San Francisco second with 121. Salt Lake Is the weakest in the stolen base depart ment, with 54 to their credit. The team averages to date show that Salt Lake is also weak In the field, and has exactly 2O0 errors credited against them, while San Francisco, though, lead ing the standings and the team batting, is also a weak sister In the field and has 192 errors recorded against them. Sac ramento is making the best showing in the team fielding averages, and heads the list with .72 per cent for a total of 129 miacuea in the fields, the smallest num ber of errors of any team in the league. The California Junior boys' state golf championship opens at Del Monte today. It is the third annual such event and Fred Purner of Del Monte Is now work ing on a plan to interest the various golf governing bodies of the coast in the pro motion of golf for boys. Purner rightly contends that the champions of the future are the boys of, today, and if the boys .caa k properly interested aU over coast a crop of future "rreats" can be trained properly. The suggestion Is to be made that Washington, Oregon and other western points bold annual Junior titles for boys under 16 years of asre. . and that, the winners of these state and sectional titles be brought together near the end of the season to play tor the Pa cific coast title. Such an event would attract nation-wide attention. and it seems possible that arrangements could be inaue tor sucn tourneys during the vaca tion periods of schools all over the roa. Purner la starting his scheme in California and his plans call for the boys to play sectional titles tn the districts of San Ilego. Los Angeles. San Jose. Sacramento. Stockton. Fresno, San Joaquin valley and San Francisco- bay districts. The project will probably be worked out for next sea son and If successful Purner will endeavor to broaden the scope of his plans and bring Oregon, Washington. Idaho and Ne vada, and possibly Hawaii, into the event and have the winners play for the coast title. tuffy Lewis of Salt Lake continues to head the batting averages of the Pacific coast league. Though he has only played in 20 games. Lewis is going at a steady and consistent pace and Is holding ma average well over the .4O0 per cent mark. He wound up last week's series for his participation this season with .453 as against .431 for the previous week. BUSH NINES REMATCHED STAXDARD OIL AXD ESTKESS. MEX- TO BATTLE.
