On the eve of the investigation to be con ducted by District Attorney Lewis of Kings county concerning rum-r ors that the coming world series had been "fixed." District Attor ney Swann' tonight sent a letter to State's Attorney Hoyne of Chi cago, offering bis assistance to prosecute those indicted for .the alleged scandal connected : with the 1919 series. Mr. Swann's of fer was inade contingent 'upon Mr. Hoyne finding that some part of, the alleged felony was com mitted in the county. "The Chicago authorities seem to have well in hand the case, of the .crooks who were willing to debase the great national sport of baseball, for their own sordid ends," said Mr. Swann's letter. "The crooked gamblers who aided and abetted, procured and advised the throwing of the games seemed to have planned the scheme in part in New York and consum mated it in your city, r , While President Ebbetts and Manager Wilbur Robinson of the Brooklyn'team have -no douot as to the honesty and integrity" of their piayers, both have expressed willingness to aid District Attor ney Lewis in Ms investigation. The district attorney declared that he had heard vague runiors that a clique of . gamblers, similar to 1 hat which bribed the' i White Sox players last year, was -making an attempt to buy the coming world series.. ' It was his intention, ' he said, to question the Brooklyn players thoroughly as soon as pos sible. .-. ; . . ' 1 ' Three members of the team. Cant. Zack Wheat. Al Mamaux and Jimes w.

"Absolutely nothing." , The district attorney said he was satisfied' that the nlavers were, "strictly oh the level." and I that his purpose in examining the I piayers was simpiy ro una ort li any attempt had been made to ap proach them. - 4 President Ebbetts said that by Saturday all members of the team vrtll have appeared before-the prosecutor. ' , . ' --" State's attorney-Hoyne left, to- night for Chicago with new evi- denre collected in this city, he said, and - which, he - thought, would go, far toward convicting those under indictment. "Just how valuable this infor mation I. I will only be able to tell after I read the court records of the confessions of lire players, but I am inclined to believe it will go a long way -to -bringing rome of those involved to jus tice." -V -.!': JWr. Hoyne said he had no in formation that would seem fo sub stantiate the report: of an attempt, to "fix" the coming world's ser ies'. Speaking of the baseball scan dal generally. Mr. Hoyne said: f'f, am convinced that the whole matter grew out of the gigantic pool selling schemes that have been prevalent for some time.
