Two Washington, D. C. men were arrested at Baltimore's Friendship Airport and charged with extortion against two American League umpires. Umpires William McKinley and Edward Runge, both named, were said to have flown to Chicago after the arrests. Donald Anderson and Robert Waldron, 32 and 30, were to be arraigned, with a $5,000 payoff allegedly discussed to throw a game. Witnesses included two strip dancers, Helen Ela and Mary Jane Spencer. Authorities noted the meeting was arranged as a strap, and the suspects refused to answer questions.
