Telegrams[edit]

The article says that the players who cheated were asked to turn over "their telegrams", but these telegrams are not mentioned earlier in the article. I suppose that they corresponded with the gamblers who wanted to fix the games by telegram. This should be explained.Bill (talk) 21:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
