Pitcher Jim Bagby won that game by the lopsided score of 8 to 1, de- spite the faet that DBrookiyn made 13 hits, more than Cleveland. In reality, Baghy deserved a shutout, which would have been a fitting climax to a freak game, Deserved a Shutout lyn's lone run of the game two down in the ninth, A grounder that should out took & bad roment, causing Johnston Billy Evans made and fade quickly world series of series. by § to 1, The that ° it game, seem | { one Brook came with dinky infield have been an ¢ bound at the lg First Daseman AFTER 18 STRAIGHT WINS, PANTHER FlVE LOSES TO CRESCENTS 28-25 Game Was Fast nnd Close | OLD T[ME STAR SIGNS T0 AID GIANT HURLERS With Mieczkowski Toss-| ing in 12 of His Team's 28 Points.

The former outfielder declared that Lefty Willlams, a teammate, came to him after the series and threw an en- | velope containing $5000 at his feet as Jackson's share of the money al- leged to have been paid for “throw- | ing” the series, Jackson said he be- came angry and demanded of Wil- | liams what he meant. Willlams, ac- | cording to Jackson's testimony, re- | plied that Jackson's name was used in dealing with the “gambling crowd that had figured in the throwing of | the series.”” To this Jackson said he | became angrier than ever and threatened to go to Charles A, Com- iskey, owner of the White Sox, with the whole story. The next day, 30.—Joe | 5o was told by Harry Grabiner, secre- | tary, that “the old man was not fecl- ing good," and that he (Jackson) had | better write Comiskey his business | after he got home in Savannah, Ga, Later Jackson testified, Comiskey wrote him asking that he advise him by letter about the matter Jackson had in mind. / | Sport writers who attended’ the games, testified yesterday that Jack- son's playing during the series was that of a player doing his best for his club, They referred to his batting and field records in support of their | statements, SEASON ENDS TUESDAY Boy's Club Basketball League Will Be ; Brought to a Close Early Next Week, | Boy's club basketball league {will come to a close next Tuesday night.
