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.

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

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

although in a different capacity.

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

in the middle west by knocking out
some fellow. John Fulton, an older

tTT HEN the Portland baseball club
VV nlayed Astoria for 3150, a side,
years ago, and the Portland pitcher
was -the son oi wsnei" . w J
commandant at Vancouver? He had
an underhand throw that made the
ball whistle and his catcher had to
stand 100 feet behind the batter. Both
catchers were allowed two boys as
additional backstops.
Anything was a strike that came
within two feet of the batter and
after the third inning, when all the
Astoria boys had heard the ball go
by, they gave up the game and the
money, saying they wouldn't be shot
at by anything they couldn't see.

Sport News and Comment.
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.

B. C; Coeur d'Alene. Idaho, and Port
land soon may have a fifth member
if plans now under way at Seattle
to form a rowing club as an auxiWary
to the Seattle Yacht club are carried
out.
For many years Seattle has been
deprived of the water sport, but
according1 to several mem ber-s of the
Portland Rowing1 club who recently
returned from Vancouver, B. C,
where the annual re-gatta of the
North Pacific- association was held
last week, the Puget sound sculters
are taking an active interest in the
organization of the new branch of
the Seattle Yacht club. The move
ment, which Is headed by ex-University
of Washington crew captains
and oarsmen, is finding favor wher
ever advanced and first steps In -the
formation of -the new organization
will be taken at & meeting of the
Seattle Yacht club tomorrow night.
The North Pacific association
virtually has assured membership to
the club and if the organization can
be put into working order by next
summer it is likely that the annual
regatta of the association will be
held in Seattle under the auspice
of the new club next year.
