The top of the front page has a photo of: "Men Who Bared Baseball Gambling Conspiracy".
The ftpg. also has: "Jury Summons Brooklyn Players In Alleged 1920 World Series Plot" with related subheads (see photos).

Also on the ftpg. is a report on investigation into the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal: "Two More Players Confess Parts in Gambling Plots to Fix World Series Games", the report carrying over to page 8.
