Hi
The loss of Charles A. Comlskey,
owner of the club, of his championship
team and of players va.'ued collective
ly as high as $300,000, was looked up-!
on at the time of Ihe Jury Investiga
tion us a double crossing unparalleled
In baseball h:tory. Testimony given
befo'i: the grand Jury and which prob
ably will be Introduced during the
trial, indicated that the alleged plans
of the gamblers charged with fixing
the series and of players charged with
throwing it, also went astray in sever
al respects.
This testimony, given by witnesses,
was to the effect that the gamblers
double crossed certain players by 'not
mnpiug good on promised bribes, cer
tain players In return double crossed
the gamblers by winning a game on
which the gamblers had pyramided
previous winnings and thus lost many
thousands of dollars for the f'xers, and
that nome players even double crossed
each other.
Chicago lost the first two games of
the series and on these two games va
rious gamblers were said to have won
many thousands of dollars. Claude
Williams and Joe Jackson, n their
grand Jury confessions, said that the
players were promised a certain am
ount of money after each game, but
only cleotte, Jackson and Williams
confessed to receiving money. Ac
cording to some of the evidence, cer
tain players became very angry when
, the gamblers failed to make good on
1 the promise of payments after each
: game and having thus been double
crossed by the gamblers, did their best
to win the third game of the series.
