This was. the sense of a meeting of the association Thursday night at which resolutions were adopted condemning the fair management for admitting amuse ment and concessions of an objection able nature. Members of the associa tion pointed out that. In spite of prom ises made last year for a clean-up of the White Way, conditions were almost, if not quite, as bad this yesr as they have been heretofore. Numerous so-called games of chance, in most of which the patrons have little or no chance' to win, have been granted concessions this year, it Is pointed out and it is st these that the protest of the association is mainly directed, although many of the amuse ments found on the White Way are also classed by association members as ob jectionable. STATE AID PROPOSED The resolutions adopted point out that the prime Object in holding the State fair Is for the education of the present and growing generations and places the organisation "unanimously on record against all exhibits and concessions that are not educational . and that are not morally clean." The aaaoclatlon believes that conces sions snd smusements of a higher order than those now obtaining can be se cured to replace thoee that have been admitted to the Oregon fair In the past and agree to use Its Influence with the state legislature "toward securing suf ficient financial help so that the per mitting of all of the Said games of chance and disgusting shows can be eliminated." A total of 19 concessions crossed as objectionable by members of the Live stock association had been closed, by the State fair board up to Thursday night eAMBLIirO 18 OPPOSED Speaking of the protests made agslnst methods used by some concessions Sec retary -A. H. Lea, said: "I am and always have been against gambling games of chance and immoral shows." J. Flnley, secretary of the Washington state fair, gave the same tflew. The fair board called on the attorney general, who made the rounds of the concessions. He said, according to Lea, that a few of them bordered on gam bling, but In many cases their exact status would 'be hard to determine. A few of the worst places had been closed before the attorney general was called and others had been persuaded to change their methods of operation, so that skill counted rather then chance. No fault has been found with the shows, Secre tary Lea said. O-W. Veteran Resigns Pendleton. Or.. Oct I. T. H. O'Brien, station agent for the O-W. R.

SCANDAL NET MAY TAKE IN N. Y. GIANTS (Continued Prom Pat One.) letters from all- parts of the country and asked that police protection be accorded her. Among others who are expected to. tes tify are "Buck" Weaver and Fred Mc- Mullln, White Sox players already un der Indictment; Clyde Elliott a motion picture dealer who is said to have ac companied "Kid" Gleason, White - Sox manager, to ; St. Louis when an investi gation of charges ot corruption in the 1919 world aeries was made by White Sox officials, and Dr. Raymond B. Prettyman, a dentist who is. an Intimate friend of several Sox players. Three of the indicted White Sox 'ball players are forming a "council of de fense" here this afternoon and are plan ning a determined fight to prove false the charges . that they conspired to "throw" the 1919 world's series to Cin cinnati and to regain their standing in organized baseball. A fourth member of the indicted eight may be admitted to the "council." FELSCH. HAT REPUDIATE Buck Weaver. "Swede" Risberg and Fred Mcfullin today joined forces In an effort to clear their names. Oscar "Happy" Felsch, It was reported, may repudiate hits unofficial confession and Join with his three teammates in their contemplated fight Weaver. Risberg and McMullin an nounced that they would "hire the best legal talent in Chicago" and that they would be "back In the major leagues next year." Weaver was spokesman for the bel ligerent players. "What do you want me to do confess?" he .asked when ap proached by a reporter. "Are you going before the grand Jury," he was asked. BCCK WILL FIGHT "No," said Buck, as he .grinned, "not as those other fools have done. I have been wrongfully accused and I In tend to fight I shall be In the major league next year if not with the White Sex. then with some other team. They- have nothing on me." Risberg and McMullin then entered the -conversation. ,...-1. made Jackson apologise for what he. said about nW said; Risberg.; never threatened hlmZ. . .i .: - McMullin i expressed bis accord with the statements made by Weaver; : -We're not gnilty.' Weaver continued. "The men with guilty consciences nave confessed. . We are only too anxious to get the chance that we are entitled, to to offset the statement of the hers. When we get the chance we'll say plenty. "And don't describe me as being pre maturely aged; over this thing," Buck added. "Don't say that my shoulders are drooping and my back humped. I'm no condemned criminal and I don't like being pictured as one." . HOTKB BBJ5GS TISTIMOHT 4 State's Attorney Hoyne.1 arrived to Chlcaro this momma- from New Tork: bringing with him evidence which he says will clinch the prosecution of the players involved This . evidence, : the state's attorney declares, wss given him by two men who are neither baseball players nor sramblers, but It tallies with two admissions made by Clcotte, Jackson, Williams and Felsch. The two men. Hbyne said, are willing to go be fore the grand Jury and testify, The apparent friction between Hoyne and the grand jury over methods used in the Investigation to date seemingly has been smoothed out and Hoyne plans to plunge immediately Into the inquiry and assume an active part In its direc tion. hppy oat i: wipe alitor A new, angle to the investigation cropped out today when it developed that wives of some of the players may be called to testify. Several ' "square' players of the Sox have said that after the second game of the 1919 world's series "Happy" Felsch, indicted out fielder, gave to Mrs. Felsch 116.000 Which she deposited In her own name in a bank. Felsch has confessed to recelv Ins $5000 ox the f 100.000 bribe that wae promised the players to "throw" the series. Mrs. Felsch Is said to nave withdrawn the money from the bank last Monday and she Is expected to be asked by the grand Jury to tell what she knows of the transaction. HERZOO 18 ATTACKED The scandal developed its first out break of violence at Joliet yesterday. The Chicago Cubs played an exhibition game there yesterday and after the con test a man leaped upon the running board of the automobile In which Buck Hersog was riding and called him "one of those crooked ball players from Chi cago." Hensog resented the taunt and leaped out and attacked hts accuser. Friends came to their townsman's aid and one of them began wielding a knife. : Hersog received three knife wounds, two in the hand and one on the calf of the leg, but none is serious. WANTS IT MADE FELOST Hartley Replogle, assistant states at torney, is convinced that the Inquiry should continue. He also wants congress to act "We have now discovered games have been bought and sold," he said, "by un scrupulous gamblers and players. There must be no repetition of this scandal. "Congress should pass an act making it a felony for any one to offer a bribe to any baseball player to play the na tional game other than on Its merits, also making It a felony for any player to accept bribe. "Let congress act" It is certain that the Jury's report will contain this recommendation.
