BILL PLOT TRIAL
DRAWS NEAR CLOSE
State Expects to Finish Argu
ment Today.
'TRAITORS' ARE ATTACKED
Case Is Expected to Be In Hands of
Jury Late Tuesday or Early
on Wednesday.
CHICAGO, July 29. Final argu
ments In the baseball trial were be
gun today with the state directing a
two-hour attack on the defendants, in
which the ex-White Sox players were
pictured as "traitors who for J100.000
of dirty money sold their souls, be
trayed their comrades and the public
and conspired to make the only truly
American pleasure and sport, base
ball, a confidence game."
Edward Prindiville directed the
prosecution's first fire in the final
pleas, his talk coming after the de
fense had won a battle of strategy
from the state by keeping out of the
record a statement Happy Felsch,
ex-Sox center fielder, was alleged to
have made to a newspaper reporter
that he reoeived $5000 to throw
games.
Defense to Plead Monday.
Mr. Prindiville expects to finish his
argument in a special session of court
tomorrow. The defense pleas will
take up Monday and possibly part of
Tuesday with George Gorman closing
for the state late Tuesday. The case
is expected to be in the jury's hands
late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Mr. Prindiville directed his words
mainly against Eddie Cicotte. Chick
Gandil, Joe Jackson, Claude Williams
and David Zelcer, the latter identified
by two state's witnesses as a man
who. under the name of Bennett,
helped to organize the alleged con
spiracy for the throwing of the 1919
world's series. After outlining the
details of the alleged conspiracy as
related by Bill Burns, admitted ac
complice, who turned state's evidence,
.Mr. Prindiville called the jury's at
tention to th similarity of Burns'
story and the confessions of Eddie
Cicotte. He was particularly bitter in
speaking of Cicotte.
Confession Is Cited.
"This man, by his own confession,
sat in his room at the Warnei hotel
here and arranged to receive $10,000
for the dirty work he planned." said
Mr. Prindiville. "Then, Judas-like, he
went downstairs to hobnob with his
innocent teammates and, in his own
words, to allay the suspicions of the
men whom he had just betrayed.
"He said he'd throw the ball over
the fence if necessary to lose the first
game. And what happened in the
first game? Cicotte, the America
league's greatest pitcher, hurling
with a heavy heart by his confes
sion and a pocket made heavy by
110.000 in graft, was beaten 9 to 1.
"No wonder he lost. The pocket
loaded with the filth for which he
sold his soul andl his friends was too
much. It overbalanced him and he
lost."
Guilt Held Admitted.
Mr. Prindiville declared the evi
dence proved Chick Gandil one of the
conspiracy leaders and that Williams
anj Jackson stood convicted by their
own confessions.
"Williams and Jackson have ad
mitted! their guilt," he said. "What
can you gentlemen do but go the
limit in punishing them?"
"And this man Zelcer," he shouted.
"He has tried to prove an alibi, to
prove that he is not the man Bennett
who helped Abe Attell run this deal.
"Yet we prove that Abe Attell had
thousands of dollars under the mat
resses in his room at the Cincinnati
hotel andi that he took $10,000 of this
money against Bennett's wishes
and gave it to Burns for the players
and Burns gave it to Williams and
Jackson.
"And Zelcer, after first saying he
knew Attell slightly, finally admits
that Attell roomed with him at Cin
cinnati during the series. He then
admits that he has known Attell tor
years and yet he did not know of
this conspiracy-or of tho $10,000
transaction in his own room.
Burns Story Upheld.
"Burns may be a squealer. But,
Is he any worse than these defend
ants? Three of them squealed. His
storj is as good as theirs better be
cause he withstood two days of gruel
ling cross-questioning without chang
ing a single main fact.
"Of course the defendant-players
were at practice the morning Burns
talked with' them in Cincinnati. Burns
himself has told you that he talked
with them only a few minutes and
that they then went to practice. The
defense has not hurt Burns' story one
bit on that point.
"These men did what Abe Attell told
them. Abie said 'Lose the first two."
They did. Abie said 'Win the third."
They did."
Tomorrow Mr. Prindiville will go
into the legal aspects of the case :the
technicalities of the law.
What the Fans Say.
Fine Advertising for the Fair.
PORTLAND, Or.. July 27 L. H.
Gregory, Sporting Editor The
Oregonian. Dear Sir: Kindly advise
one, as well as many other of Mc
Credie's faithful patrons, through
your paper, if there is any hope of
him obtaining any results for his
wonderful cellar champions.
It sure is wonderful reading, not to
speak of the advertisement, that our
cellar inhabitants are giving the Rose
City and the sporting public. When
they turn to the sporting page and
see for themselves what wonderful
etrides McCredie's club is making.
what a boost for the 1925 exposition!
I suppose McCredie is still throw
ing the wool over the few faithful
fans eyes that have not yet gotten
wise to his system "that it is impossi
ble for him to obtain players." Yes,
lie surely crossed his wires when he
was dickering for Duffy Lewis, but
failed to reach "a financial agree
ment. alt Lake reached a financial
agrement easily enough, yet Mac told
the public he wished he had a hard
Jutting outfielder.
I do not wish to be a knocker, for
I have only supported Coast league
tiall since 1904. But this year I am
through supporting the cellar cham
pions of the McCredies.
I would rather read about it than
Bit two or three hours pulling for the

PORTLAND. Or, July 26. Sport
ing Editor The Oregonian Dear Sir:
What's the trouble with our baseball
manager? Many fans have been
roasting him. Now, what for? You
fans who have been knocking him at
every turn in the road, imagine your
eelvea in bis position. Walter is
capable of selecting players. If he
could have gone east early last
with plenty of money, the fans w
i have seen a first-class team in th
field. Don't think for a moment that
Walter McCredie relishes traveling
with a losing team.
I agree with Mr. Furuset that the
team does not need new management
or ownership. It just needs money to
get the players, Walter has not lost
his pep in managing a winning
team. M. E. T.
Give 'Em a Chance to Veil.
PORTLAND. Or., July 28. Sporting
Editor The Oregonian Dear Sir: As
I look at it, the McCredies have had
their chance to make good and. now
it is their turn to give somebody else
a chance, and the fans'an opportunity
to do a little cheering for a change.
I am another of these rabid fans who
attend every ball game :n a season If
I have half an excuse, but no more
fo- me this year. Enough is enoughs

Come on. Judge, set a price on your
ball club, just what it is worth and no
more, and step out. If you had given
us some kind of a ball team this year
the fans would have let bygones be
bygones, but this was your - last
chance to make good, and you booted
it. Sell now while you can, for by the
time the Beavers drop 50 more ball
games you can't give them away.

the Longwood bowL The scores
were 6-3; 7-5; 6-4.
Williams will face William M.
Johnston of San Francisco tomorrow
in the challenge round in a match
that will mark Johnston's first ap
pearance of the season on eastern
courts.
Williams' tennis in the first and
third ' sets was spectacular. At the
net he was deadly with his overhead
smashes and his volleys from mid
court were clean and decisive. From
the base line he was steady and pre
vented Shimidzu from making his
severe fore-hand serves effective.
Williams had such command of his
strokes that he -placed the ball at
will. When Shimidzu camped back
of his base line in his efforts to
stroke his deep placements, Williams
would shift his attack and drop the
ball gently over the net.
In the three sets Williams out
scored Shimidzu on earned points
ty a wide margin. His earned points
total reached 55, while the Japanese
had only ten placements to his credit
and no service aces.

MISSBROWE IS VICTORIOUS
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy Beaten in
Singles at Xcw York.
NEW YORK. July 29. Miss Mary
K. Browne of Los Angeles defeated
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of Los An
geles in the final of the women's New
York state tennis championship tour
nament at the Crescent Athletic club.
Brooklyn, today. 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
With the strongest elements of her
game, the close-range and swift post
tion play, spoiled by wet courts, Miss
Browne gave much to her rival. This
was repeatedly demonstrated . in the
rallies, when Miss Browne often re
mained in deep court rather than
hazard a twisted ankle or a fall by
sudden shift to close-range attack.
When settled into her game she com
pletely mastered Mrs. Bundy at the
task of putting across winning shots.
Miss Browne's total of placements for
the three sets was 40 to 21 for Mrs.
Bundy.
Mrs. Bundy, after Miss Browne had
opened with the service in the match
dominated the first set from deep
court. The matron excelled at the
lon.g drives. She swung the ball from
the corner and alternated at pace
compelling Miss Browne to do some
running entirely unsuited to the con
ditions.
Discovering that a back-court duel
with Mrs. Bundy was a losing venture,
Miss Browne braved the dangers of a
net attack in the second set and was
immediately rewarded. She tallied the
first three games. Miss Browne held
to her commanding lead at 5-2 on
games. Several brilliantly-fought
running rallies marked the closing
games of this set. Miss Browne floun
dering a bit on occasions, but gaining
the set at 6-3.
With feverish intensity Miss Browne
fought the opening rallies of the third
sets. So cleverly did she play her
shots that Mrs. Bundy repeatedly
overdrove the base line. Miss Browne
taking the first three games by easy
scores. By wonderful driving Mrs.
Bundy pulled up to the threatening
tally of 5-4 on games. It was then
that Miss Browne showed her best
play. Driving with all the power she
possessed, she scored a love game- to
win the set and match.
The strain of the singles encounter
upon her strength was revealed when
Miss Browne attempted to do battle
through the semi-final round engage
ment in the doubles. Paired with Mrs
Louise Williams, the girl was beaten
by Mrs. Bundy and Mrs. Carl V. Hitch
ens in straight sets. The score was
6-2, 6-4.

Denver Boy Thinks He Has

MIDDLEWEIGHT HALO AIM
Ortega's Opponent for Wednesday

round main event of next Wednesday
night's boxing card at Milwaukie. is
all "net up" about his chances of win

The reason is simple. MurDhv boasts

This was not so long ago, and after

Knows Downey's style of fighting
from a to z. Of course Downey is a
much larger boy now than Murphy, if
he is fighting middleweight, and this
added poundage is a lot to contend
with. However, Murphy is willing to
take his chances against a man of
Downey's caliber. After he gets
tnrougn with Battling Ortega he is
going to lay off of the middleweights
capl in cnampionsnip bouts.
JHurpny is getting tired of having

Chapter four in the current week's
offering of that popular film serial
for light summer entertainment,
"When Will the Beavers Win An
other Ball Game?" was put on at the
ball park yesterday. About the only
variation from preceding chapters
was the score, which was 10 to 1 for
Vernon this time. Previous scores
of the week have been 7 to 4, 17 to 7
and 8 to 3. It's nice and kindhearted
of Bill Essick not to bore the fans by
turning in the same kind of a victory
twice in a row.
The Tigers did put over a slight
variation in plot and furnished a sur
prise ending to the Beaver half of the
fourth by making a triple play. Poole
and Wolfer led off for the home boys
with singles. Del .Baker attempted
to sacrifice, but popped a puny fly
that Truck Hannah nailed. Truck
slammed to Locker at first, retiring
Wolfer, and then Locker threw to
French at second, who stepped on the
bag before Poole could get back.
The only other resemblance to a
thrill In a lifeless game was Mc
Graw's home run in the sixth with
Locker on base ahead of him. Score:
