IBT a T. MOOT With PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S. Too Brst, second and final games of last year's world's series were "thrown" to Cincinnati by right members of the Chicago Arm-ri-cans, according to revelations aalil to have been made by Billy Maharg, former boxer and well known In local sporting circles. Maharg's story, as printed today la the Philadelphia North American, says that he and Bill Burns, former American League pitcher, were the first to be approached in the conspiracy, "I received a wire from Rums from Now York the middle of last September, Inviting me to take a hunting trip with him down on his ranch In New Mexico," said Maharg.

"We were to take Bill James, one of the While Sox pitchers, with ns. James had nothing to do with the subsequent events, bet, while we were there In a room talking, Clootte came In and started to talk In a low voice to Bums. "I heard enough to know that he said that a group of prominent players of the White Sox would be willing to throw the coming world's series If a syndicate of gamblers would give them 000 on the morning of the first game. SAW GAMBLERS. "When Clootte left, Bnrns turned to me and repeated Cfcotte's conversation, part of which I luul heard.

Burns said: 'Do yon know any gamblers who would be Interested In this I said 1 wpnld go to Philadelphia and see what I could do. Burns said he would have to go to Montreal to close an oil deal and that he would wire me about the progress of the deal. "I then went to Philadelphia and saw some gamblers. They told me It was too big a proposition for them to handle, and they recommended me to Arnold Roth-stein, a well-known and wealthy New York gambler. "In the meantime Bnrns and I had returned to New York and I went over again and Joined him.

We met Jtothstoln by appointment and put the proposition up to him. He declined to get Into It. He said he did not think that such a frame-up could be possible. "We left Rothsteln and hung around New York for awhile. I returned to Philadelphia, thinking that everything was off until I received the following telegram from Bill Burns: "'Arnold R.

He said that after I had left New York he ran Into Abo Attell, the fighter, who had gone to Rothsteln and fixed things up. Burns said be had seen Clcotte and that eight members of the team were in the deal.

"Attell was In Cincinnati and had gang of about twenty-five New York gamblers with him. He snld they were working for Rothsteln. ATTELL REFUSED TO PAY. "I had my first suspicion on the morning of the first game, when Burns and I visited Attell. We asked for the $100,000 to turn over to the White Sox players to carry out our part of the denl.

"Attell refused to turn over the $100,000, saying that they needed the money to make bets. He made a counter-proposal that 920,000 would be handed the players at the end of each losing game. Burns went to the Sox players and they seemed satisfied with the new arrangement. "Burns told me that he saw the players were restless and wanted the full amount, and he wns night told how Eddie Cicotte happened to confess the nlot to "throw" the series, which uncovered all the details of the scheme. Sullivan ac companied th club south on this spring's training trip, at Comiskey's trying to confirm Comlskey' suspicions that th series had been "thrown." He failed to learn anything def inite then, but last Monday night Clcotte earn to him, saying: 1 got a load on my chest.

Sullivan sent him to Comlskey and today the club owner heard his star twlrler's confession. Comlskey directed Clootte to the club's attor ney for advice and the latter, Alfred Austria, took the pitcher befor the grand jury, where he unloosed the "load on his chest." with tears of remorse streaming down his cheeks. ddie Clcotte and Joe Jackson were not promised Immunity from prosecution or extra consideration In return for their confessions today that they had "thrown" world series games, Austrian said tonight. "Cicotte and Jackson made signed confessions," he said. "Cicotte first signed an immunity waiver which made it possible to indict him on his own evidence.

They are liable to prosecution and will be given the same treatment as th other players." Hartley Replogle, prosecutor of the case, said that "full legal prose cution would follow." GLEASON CONFIDENT DESPITE SCANDAL. "Ws'r going win th pennant and then th world's erie ln spite of this." Manager Gleason of th Whit Sox said tonight "The thing has com to a bead and I'm glad of It," he said. "I've been working on this affair with Mr. Comlskey for a long time and It has kept me under a tremendous strain. I'm mighty happy that It' all cleared up.

"Th men on my team now are real men and real ball players and we're going to win the pennant and then tne wona series, in spit or this scandal." GANDIL SOLD HOME HERE A WEEK AGO. "Chick" Gandil. indicted today In Chicago ln connection with the White Sox gambling charges, came here last winter with his wife and bought a home. Early in the spring he left for St. Anthony.

tonight (Continued from First Page.) the others would be sent them at once. With his voice trembling. Mr. Comlskey, who has owned the White Box since the Inception of the American League, said this was the first time scandal had ever touched his "family" and that it distressed him too much to talk about it. RUSH OF PLATERS.

The rush of players to bare their part In the affair started today when Clcotte appeared and asked permission to testify. Clcotte wept, court attaches said, and exclaimed In anguish his sorrow for his two small children as he told how he Told his i utmost to lose rather th in tt, 1919 world series, after he had "found" 810,000 beneath his bed room pillow where It had been placed by professional gamblers. He said he lobbed the ball to the plate so slowly "you could read the trademark on It," in the first game at Cincinnati, when he was taken out of the box after three and two-thirds innings had been played. THE CONFESSION. A court official who was present when Clcotte went on the stand described the scene when the star pitcher broke down and cried as he told the jury of his part in the series "fixing." "My God, think of my children," he cried.

Clcotte has two small children. "I've lived a thousand years In the last year," the court official quoted him as Ssyirg. "I never did anything I regretted so much in my lite," the witness added, according to the State official. "I would give anything ln the world If I could nndo my acts In the last world series. I've played a crooked game and I have lost, and I am here to tell the whole truth." The story Clcotte Is said to have told the Jury follows In every essential particular that told In Philadelphia by Maharg last night.

CICOTTE'S STORY. "In the first game at Cincinnati I was knocked out of the box," Clcotte told the Jury, according to the court official. "I wasn't putting a thing on the ball. You could have read the trade-mark on It when I lobbed the ball up to the plate. "In the fourth game, played at Chicago, which I also lost, I deliberately Intercepted a throw from the outfield to the plate which might have cut off a run.

I muffed the ball on one occasion. At another time ln the same game I purposely made a wild throw. All the runs scored against me were due to my own deliberate errors. I did not try to win." Jackson sold that throughout the series he either struck out or else hit easy halls when hits would have meant runs. When Jackson finished his testimony before the grand Jury he was tnken into custody by a deputy sheriff.

A court official said that Jackson testified that he received his money In a Cincinnati hotel and that Rtsberg and Mo. Mtillln were the principal "pay off" men. JACKSON'S STORY, Jackson stated that he received Ids money from Claude Williams. According to the court official, Jackson testified that, while each player Implicated was approoched innmuuRiiy, earn Knew aoout inn others. He said that Clcotte also had testified to this effect.

Jackson also testified that Gandil, Risberg and McMullin were the only clique that existed and that Gandil was the lender nf this. 0,000 that was coming to them." ABE ATTELL DENIES PART IN SCANDAL 1ST A. P. mom wimi NEW YORK. Sept.

28. Abe Attell, former featherweight pugilist, who has been named as a ringleader In the baseball gambling scandal, said here tonight that he had retained a lawyer to take care of his Interests, and that In a day or two he would make a statement that would "shoot the lid sky-high." "You can say," he said, "that the story placing the responsibility upon me for passing the $100,000 to the White Sox Is a He. It looks to me that Arnold Rothsteln Is behind the stories. I am surprised at this because I have been a good friend of Rothsteln. "He is simply trying to pass the buok to me.

It won't go. "You can see that some one is trying to make It appear that I was responsible for the deal at the Astor. Well. I can tell you that I was not responsible for It.

the Yankee club. The message follows: "Your action in suspending players under suspicion, although wrecks your entire organization nnd perhaps your cherished life work, not only challenges our admiration but excites our sympathv and demands our practical assistance. You are making a terrible sacrifice to preserve the integrity of the game. So grave and unforeseen an emergency requires unusual remedies. "Therefore, in order that you may play out your schedule, and If necessary, the world series, our entire club Is placed nt your disposal.

When told nf the offer of the New York Americans to Comlskey to turn their club over to the Chicago Whit Sox, Harry Grabiner, secretary of the Sox. said: "Of course, It Is Impossible, but the offer will bring tears to the old man's eyes." "It's a splendid offer and on' I appreciate from the bottom of my heart, but I'm afraid there Is no way I can accept it," said Charles A. Comlskey when informed that Jacob Ruppert and T. I Huston, owners of the New York Yankees, had offered to place their entire team at the disposal of the Chicago team to replace the men he suspended. "The league rules definitely say that no trades or transfers can be made after August 11." he explained, "so I know that such an act would not be sanctioned by the league, but It was a wonderful thing for them to do." President Ban Johnson of the American League could not be reached.

When Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop, was killed Owen Bush of Detroit offered to transfer to Cleveland. Mr. Johnson said then It could not be don because of the league rule cited by Mr. Comlskey. WHAT THE WHITE SOX PLAYERS RECEIVED.

Rath doubled and Daubert singled, the combination resulting in five runs, Wilkinson took Cicotte's place after Daubert's tingle and Groh fiied to Felsch. The final score was 9 to 1. GAME AT CHICAGO DELIBERATELY THROWN. The fourth gany played at Chicago was also deliberately thrown awity, according to the court officials, who heard Cicotte's statement to the grand Jury.

The Reds won. 2 to 0, Ring, pitching for Cincinnati, holding the American League champions to three hits. Both Cincinnati runs were made ln the fifth inning when two of Cincinnati's hits were bunched with a wild throw to first by Clootte and a bad throw to the plate by Jackson, which the pitcher intercepted and muffed. The play of this inning was sent over the Associated Press wires as follows: "Roueh waa out, Sohalk to Gan-dil, the ball rolling half way to the pitcher's box. Duncan was safe when Clcotte threw his drive wide to first, the ball going to the stand and Duncan reaching second.

Kopf singled to left and Dunoan stopped at third, but scored when Jackson threw wild to the plate. Kopf reached second. "The official scorer gives Clcotte the error for muffing Jackson's throw. Neale sent one over Jackson's head and Kopf scored. Neale reached second.

Cicotte's next appearance" ln the series was ln the sixth game when Cincinnati had four victories against one defeat, Richard Kerr, the diminutive left-handed pitcher having shut out the champions in the third game.

Besides the two defeats registered against Cicotte in the series, throe others were chalked up against Claude Williams.

The latter, a "side arm left-hander, was wild in the second and fifth games, which went to the Reds, 4 to 2 and to 0. In the eighth and last game of the series he was found for four solid hits ln the firrt Inning and that game and the title of world's cham pions went to Cincinnati, lu to o. Williams's lack of control was gen erally recorded as the cause of his defeats, the record of the second contest saving: "While Cincinnati obtained only four hits, these came at opportune times when they had been preceded by bases on balls off Williams." The fifth iam wns a shutout triumph for Hod Kller, the big "shin ball'' expert of Cincinnati's pitching staff. Only three hits were made oft him and he established a world series record by striking out the side ln two successive innings. Four of Cincinnati's Ave- runs were grouped In the sixth Inning.
