 Notes from the Shadows of Cooperstown
Apparently McMullin, who was close with Risberg and Gandil, eavesdropped his way into the Fix, overhearing its mention in the locker room, and insisting on a cut.
(McMullin may also have heard of the plot from gambler Billy Maharg, who, according to Algren in Southern Review, was a drinking buddy of McMullin's.) McMullin scouted the Reds before the Series, but had just two at bats himself; the solitary out he made ended Game Two.
Maybe to get that job, Fred presented a letter of commendation by Ban Johnson, which told of his heroism in the war against the evil empire of gambling, on a rainy day in Boston back in June of 1917.
