Tomorrow in cir- cuit court, Judge Gregory will act on an affidavit filed by Oscar (Happy) Felsch, one of the banished players, which requests Charles A. Comiskey, president, and his son, Louis, treasur- er of the White Sox club be summon- ed to answer a list of questions which would dig deeply into the financial and other affairs of the American league ciub. Felsch Brings Suit. Feisch presented the affidavit in amplification of his suit against the C‘omiskeys to recover salary for 1920, with certain bonuses and compensa- tion for damages which he declared he received in a conspiracy malicious- Iy to injure his reputation and prevent him remaining a major league base- ball plaver. The list of questions Felsch would have the Comiskeys asked would deal h whether owner Comiskey con- spired with the Sox players in 1917 in an attempt to have the Detroit club intentionally lose games to the Sox and whether that service was repaid in 1919 by having the Sox toss four games to Detroit. Another question would ask whether Mr. Comiskey and players now on the White Sox roster conspired to make a pool of $50 from each Chicago player to be paid to De- troit pitchers in 1917 to lose games | to the Sox. Whether Mr. Comiskey will appear tomorrow has not been ascertained, for it was impossible to reach last night at Chicago, and his son was out of the cit Others Bring Action Suits similar to that filed by Felsch | are being planned “Buck” Weaver, “Swede" Risberg and Eddic Cicotte, all members of the | White Sox in 1919 and now barred | from organized baseball. Most of the questions Fel inquiry in 1919 and practically noth- ing new has developed from Felsch's suit. K. M. Landis, former federal judge, | commissioner, declared not interested in the Felsch suit, said a Chicago dispatch. Dispatches from New York, quot- ing Ray ik, catcher for the White Sox, say that he admitted purses were made up for Detroit pitchers at differ- ent times during the latter part of the | 1917 season if they won games from Boston which would enable the Sox to get a firm hold on the Jeague lead- ership. Schalk‘was quoted further as saving he saw nothing wrong in that| practice as it was done commonly. asked by FOREST FIRES RAGING Several Cities Report Conflagration In Timber Fields—Voluntcers Battling Flames.
