September 29, 1920
THE GLOBE, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Sept. 29, 1920  The front page contains a nice report on the on-going investigation into the "Back Sox" scandal from the 1919 Major League World Series. The two column head at the top of page one notes: " 'Lefty' Williams Is Latest Ball Player To Make Confession" with subheads: "White Sox Twirler Today Tells His Part In The Alleged Conspiracy" "After Gamblers" "Indictments Against Several of Them May Be Brought by Grand Jury" with the text beginning: "The third confession by which White Sox players were indicted for alleged throwing of the 1919 world seres to Cincinnati, was announced by authorities today. 'Lefty' Williams, pitcher, told of his part in the alleged conspiracy..." with more (see).
The article carries over to the inside where there is even more--and better--coverage, including a banner headline: "Gigantic Baseball Scandal Continues to Rock Sports Boat" and one column heads: "On Trial of B.B. Gamblers" "Permanent Banishment" "Investigation In Brooklyn" "Consider More Indictments" "Tried Same Tactics This Year" "Confession of Eddie Cicotte" "Joe Jackson Tells His Story" "Comiskey Out Sum of 4230,000" and many subheads.
The ftpg. also has a report on the creation of an 18 hole golf course at the Saucon Valley Country Club near Bethlehem (see for portions).
Complete in 16 pages, some chipping at the margins, loose at the spine from disbinding, otherwise in nice, clean condition.
