Amblers Named Itcher Williams Tells Identity of Baseball Crooks
In Chicago on September 29 the identity of alleged go-betweens and gamblers who bribed White Sox players in the 1919 World Series emerged from confessions to the grand jury by Claude Lefty Williams and Chick Gandil. Williams testified about payments alleged to total $20,000 with some funds sent to Crockett Jackson, while others named Bill Burns and Abe Attell as fixing clues. Further confessions by seven White Sox players and one former player were anticipated as indictments were handed up, with discussions of two National League players possibly involved and more grand jury action to widen the baseball probe amid ongoing investigations into sports corruption.
