JURY ACQUITS ACCUSED PLAYERS g, @rmer White Sox Are Freed From Scandal Charges Chicago, Aug. 3.—The seven former members of the Chicago White Sox were jubilant today over their ac- quittal by a jury last night of charges involving the alleged throwing of the 1919 world series with Cincinnasi. Some of them expressed hopes that they would be reinstated in major league baseball quicky. Jackson Quits O. B. was the only one who declared he was “through with organized baseball.” The others said they would leave their baseball future in the hands of the officials of organized baseball: “The jury could not have returned a fairer verdict”- said Jackson. “But baseball. I am through with it.” Sore at Bill Burns “Everybody knew I had nothing to do with this so-called conspiracy” said ‘Buck’ Weaver once the third base- man of the White Sox. “I believe that I should be: given my . old position back. I cannot express my contempt for Bill Burps.” jury has proven that” said Charl Risberg, former shortstop. “I leave my future in organized baseball in the hands of the officials. “How could the verdict have been anything else?” asked Claud Wiiliams, pitcher. “I'm going to stick to semi- professional baseball.”” Cicotte to be Quiet “All I want to do is to get to De- troit” said Eddie Cicotte once the leading pitcher of the American league, while he shook hands with the jurors. “Talk, did you say?” - Never again, I talked in this building; never again.” ““The jury has-'said all that I can say” said Oscar “Happy” _Felgch, former outfielder. “I am not guilty and never had anything to do with any so- called conspirac o gdlcrs ubt about the May Play for “ I never had any verdict” said “Chick” Gandil, former first baseman who did not Teturn to the White Sox in the 1920 season. If if had not been for two liars, Bill Burns and Billy Maharg, I would not have been here. . We are going to form a semi-profesional team in Chicago and play a few games for the benem of the wounded soldiers.” David Zelcor of Des Moines alleged first lieutenant of Arnold Rothstein in the conspiracy declared he never knew Rothstein ahd bad nothing to do with any conspiracy. “I don’t know why they brought me up here” said Carl Zork of St. Louis another defendant. “I never knew of the other defendants until I met them in court.” To Drop Further Action It was stated at the state's attor- ney’s office today that the cases against the other players and alleged gamblers who are also under indict- ment, would be allowed to lapse. Among this group ace Chase, McMul- lin, Attell, Sullivan and several oth- ers. On acount of their services to the prosecution the cases against Burns and Maharg were Gropped. McMullin’s Case Chicago, Aug. 3.—Fred McMullin, former White Sox utility infielder, named in the world’s series scandal, but who was not on trial, was the victim of hard.luck in the baseball trial it became known here today. After his indictment in the first in- vestigation McMullin came heré from California at his own expense to stand trial. After two weeks, the case was dropped and McMullin, broke, bor- rowed money to get nack to Califor- nia and take a job as a sign painter. Indicted in the second investigation, McMullin sent word he could not af- ford the trip to Chicago, but would come for trial if thc state paid his way. He received no answer and fi- nally got together enough money for tha trip. \ McMullin arrived here the day af- ter the trial began—a fact not known until today. He was too late to &o on trial and returned to California. His former team mates believe that ithis one day’s delay prevented Mc- Mullin from sharing i the verdict of not guilty, although it is not be- lieved that the state will ever press the indicment against him.
