: Salem, Oct.- 1j Unless the - man
agement of the) Oregon state) ' tatr
makes good oh repeated promisee to
clean up tho concession and am use-
men ta at the annual exposition, mem
bers of the Oregon Pure Bred Live
stock association, numbering ' some
2Q0 of the moat prominent of Oregon
breeders, will refuse to exhibit at
future fairs.
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.

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."

Weaver. Risberg and McMullin an
nounced that they would "hire the best

would be "back In the major leagues

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."

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.
