gamblers didn't pay up, sox were down 4-2 ingames in a 9 game series decided to play to win. they won the next game in 10 innings with shoeless joe driving in the winning run. gamblers got wind of this and threaten williams the next games' starting pitcher that his family was in danger if they didn't throw the next game.

all 8 white sox players who fixed the game were all found innocent after the transcripts of grand jury were lost.  rotheslid the gambler from ny, pleaded innocent, he loved baseball he said. he moved on to drug dealing, labor racketering and was shot dead by another gambler over a fixed poker game.
