Wken notice was received yesterday that eight members of the Chicago club had been subpoenaed to testify in the base ball trial at Chicago President Griffith _tried to get into communication with President John- son of the American League by long- distance telephone regarding the advisability of post- poning the remaining games with the Sox. but Johnson could not be located. Dispatches this morning from Chicago Were to the effect that Johnson prob- ably would have a statement to make on the subject later. Up until noon nothing had been heard from the league executive. In the meantime President Comis- key of the White Sox. in a long-dis- tance telephone conversation ~with Secretary Barber of the Chicago club, directed him to have all games play- ed as scheduled, taking the position that it would be unfair to postpone games with one club and not with another.

Mogridge and Acosta were given some splendid support despite the loose work of Rice and O'Rourke on Collins’ home.run and Miller's bushy attempt to block a single by Bratchi. Judfte and Mogridge neatly co-oper- ated to kill off Johnson in the opener. Harris snured a low liner from Sheely's bat in the second.

HICAGO, July 28—The defense today resumed its bombardment of evidence presented by the state in the base ball trial, which yesterday resulted in the freeing of two defendants, a tentative promise from the court to free three others unless more-evidence was presented, and a well supported alibi for a sixth of the eleven men on trial for an allged conspiracy to throw the 1919 world series. St. Louis witnesses went on the stand today to testify for Carl Zork, St. Louis de- fendant, who has ‘been promised his freedom unless more evidence is in- troduced against him. and Zork played billiards until about 8:45 p.m. Zork and I went to his ho- tel, and T took him to the train. He left at 9:20 p.m. for St. Loui: Keener corroborated Melrose's tes- timony concerning the billlard game. J. €. Punch, Judge John A. Talty, Fred Romenfeld and J. Loebenhard appeared as character witnesses for Zork. Under cross-examination Melrose was asked repeatedly if he knew Henry Becker, a St. Louls gambler, killed some time ago. “Did Becker's name come up at the dinner with Zork, or did any one xay anything about Becker previously having fixed regular season games?" asked George Gorman, assistant state’s attorney. “He never was mentioned, know nothing about him,” Melrose Asked how he could remember every detail of conversation of two vears ago. Melruse said he had fre- quently lhuuflhi of it because of the publicity given the alleged game- throwing. Buck Weaver, Happy Felsch and Swede Risberg, former White Sox players, were expected to take the stand in their own defense today, and Chick Gandil also may testify. Weaver and Felsch have been promised their freedom by the court, also, unless the state ca: ow some stronger evi- dence against them. Would Release All Players. Louis and Ben Levi of Kokomo. Ind., were freed yesterday, David Zelcer of Des Moines presented an alibi through his own testimony and the defense today was turning its attention to the freeing of Joe Jackson, Eddie Ci- cotte, Claude Willlams, Chick Gandil and Swede Risberg, all former White Sox_players. ‘With eight White Sox players speeding back to Chicago from Wash- ington to testify for the defense, and many other witnesses summoned, the defensa has announced that it does not expect to conclude its testimony before the middle of next week. Zork's attorneys presented several witnesses, who contradicted much of the evidence presented against the St. Louis man and who testified to his good character. E. P. Melrose said he was with Zork the evening after the fourth game of the 1919 world series—the time Zork said, according to Harry Rbdmon's testimony several davs ago: “I am the little redhead from St. Louis who started the whole deal,” referring to the alleged gamegthrowing. Zork Declared Out of Des “Zork and I had dinner together | and Redmon just dropped in,” said Melrose. “Zork never made a remark about starting any deal and never said he bet $2.000 to $8,000 on the White Sox after the fourth game as an alibj or for any other reason. “At 7:30 p.m. we met Sid Keener, a St. Louis newspaperman, an® he and T replied Pmubnrgh Gets Ainsmith.
