Where the 1920 playoffs rigged as well?
Item # 683779
September 08, 1920
CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Sept. 8, 1920 Perhaps as a knee-jerk reaction to the 1919 World Series scandal, page 17 has a one column head: "Jurors Cheer As Judge Orders Baseball Quiz" "Hoyne to Co-operate in Sifting Scandal".
This reports on thoughts that the 1920 playoffs were rigged as well. The report notes near the beginning: "...instructed them to investigate the alleged baseball scandal growing out of hints that there was a plot to 'throw' last Tuesday's game between the Chicago club of the National league--the Cubs--and the Philadelphia team..." with much more.
Nice to have this report in a Chicago newspaper.
Complete in 28 pages, address stamp above the masthead, binding slits at the blank spine, nice condition.
