On November 4, 1920, Charles Comiskey details the steps he took to uncover the crookedness of the White Sox players who threw the 1919 World Series. He responds to an accusation by H.C. Redmond he told Comiskey of the scandal and Comiskey did nothing about it.

“Redmond’s story, detailed to Gleason and O’Neill, was of such vague and uncertain character that no one would have been justified in taking affirmative action such as would destroy the character and reputation of men, even though they were ball players. Not content, I caused Mr. Redmond, with others whom he had named, to come to Chicago at my expense for the purpose of further investigating the evidence which he was supposed to have.

“The result was the same.”
