Tork ramblers to bribe Umpires Klm and Johnstone to "throw', the New Tork Chicago game, which decided the N' tlonal league championship, sayi: ' "I've .never known of an attempt before this "one to bribe an umpire, and I've been In baseball twenty some years. Baseball is free rrom nxmg, because betting Is not allowed. Bet tin j. Is prohibited In the parks, and club owners see t it that pools ar suppressed..
