the pame In question. He was nam
ed by Leonard as the person who
placed the alleged beta.
Explaining further West said:
"On September 24 Leonard pitch
ed against Cleveland. During the
game he told me that he wanted
to .see me in the clubhouse after
the game. I went there and waited
until he changed clothes. Leonard
walked out with me and told me
that he wanted to bet on the Detroit-Cleveland
game on the next
day. He asked me if I could get ft
check Tor $1,500 cashed. I told
him I didn't think I could ani that
I didn't want to be responMM? for
that Amount of money ovemifrht.
"He said that I was to call him
up that evening and he would tell
me whom he would leave the mon
ey with. I called him up a few
hoars later and he told me to wet
the money from Joe Wood In the
morning and to bet It on Detroit
against Cleveland.
"The next morning between 11
and 12 o'clock I went to the hotel
and met Wood. He told me that
Leonard had left the money with
him and that I was to make the bet
that Leonard mentioned. I was to
turn over the winnings to Wood af
ter the1 ''game, and Wood said he
would send it to Leonard.
'I told Leonard that I had a
good thing for that day, a hot tip
on a horse called Panaman. I also
told him that I would like to lay
the money on the horse, because I
could get much better odds. Wood
said 'that would be a good bet.
"f was prepared to make good
on the bet in case the horse lost,"
West continued.
"I placed one bet on Tanaman
with one handbook and two others
of $100 each with other handbook
maker. I tried to get $200 more on
the horse but failed. All the money
that was laid on him was $400."
By , accepting the lowest odds.
West said, he was able to make im
mediate collection. He got $680
in cash, hustled to the railroad
station and met Wood to whom he
banded the money.
, West said he did not testify be
fore Judge Landis because he hop
ed to bring Leonard east by keep
ing hidden the real facts of the bet.
"But It seems this ruse failed,"
West said.
