1918 scandal?

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6396358

We've discussed this before... it's pretty likely that the Cubs threw the 1918 Series, and it's likely that the 1914 A's threw their Series to the Braves too.  It was common for players to throw games all up until the early '20s.
