‘Eight Men Out’ proves
one of year’s best movie:
By Shane Hall
Staff Writer
In 1919, the Cincinnati Reds beat the
Chicago White Sox five games to three
in the World Series. Shortly after the Se
ries ended, eight White Sox players were
accused of rigging the outcome of the
Series in exchange for money from gam
blers. The players were barred from pro
fessional baseball.
This incident became known as the I
“Black Sox scandal.”
Director John Sayles dramatizes the
scandal in his latest film, “Eight Men
Out.”
The movie, one of the year’s best, ex
amines the story behind the incident and
studies the players’ motives in throwing
the Series.
The film seems to conclude that
money and revenge were the reasons.
The film’s ending, which shows Jack-
son and Weaver six years later, is espe
cially disturbing. Jackson is a bush
league player and Weaver is in the stands
watching his former teammate play. He
overhears two fans refer to him. Jackson,
and the other barred players as “bums."

In the movie, the players are angry
with the team’s tightwad owner, Charles
Comiskey (Clifton James), who doesn’t
pay them a decent wage.
As a bonus for winning the pennant,
Comiskey gives each player a bottle of
flat champagne.
What’s more, the big-business nature
of baseball, combined with the players’
poor salaries, made the incident one that
was bound to happen sooner or later.
Response high
for local study
of contraceptive
By Laurie Tomasini
Reporter
Two players, first baseman Chick
Gandil (Michael Rooker) and shortstop
Swede Risberg (Don Harvey), make the
contacts with the gamblers. From there,
the ball starts rolling as the two conspira
tors recruit players one by one, begin
ning with Hap Felsch (Charlie Sheen),
the hard-drinking outfielder.
The team’s straight-laced pitcher Ed
die Cicotte (David Strathaim) wants
nothing to do with the conspirators until
Comiskey fails to keep a promise to pay
him a bonus. Many other players went
along with the plan because of Cicotte’s
involvement.
As the Series begins, the gamblers are
trampling over one another to get in on
the stakes. Soon there is so much cash
tied up in bets that gamblers and players
alike get cheated out of their money.
Two White Sox players, however, get
cheated out of a lot more than money.
“Shoeless” Joe Jackson (D.B. Sweeney)
and Buck Weaver (John Cusack) are
shown as involved in talks with the con
spirators, but never are seen accepting a
cent.Both men played exceptionally
throughout the Series. Jackson, famous
for the “Say it ain’t so, Joe” phrase, was
legendary on the diamond, but illiterate
and unaware of what his teammates were
up to. Weaver, the third baseman, tried
to appeal his case after being banished
with the others, but was rejected.
Response to the ad for an oral contra
ceptive study has been good, Dr. Claude
Goswick said.
Goswick, medical director for G&S
Studies Inc., said that so many women
have responded to the ad in The Battal
ion that the research study group is
screening calls to quickly eliminate any
women who are not qualified for the
study.
“Some women call to find out the na
ture of the study and decide not to partic
ipate,” Goswick said. “That is their pre
rogative.
“The qualifications are not strict,” he
said. “The women should be 18 or older
and have a need to use the contraceptive.
They must also have a normal menstrual
cycle.”
Goswick said that women who already
take birth control pills must stop taking
them before the beginning of the study.
“We prefer women who have not pre
viously used birth control pills, however,
if they have they must have been off the
pill for two months before they are al
lowed to do the study,” he said.
G&S needs at least 157 women for the
study, Goswick said.
He said G&S is conducting a double
blind study in which Estrostep (the medi
cation being tested) and Loestrin (a pill
already on the market) are compared.
“It is a scientifically controlled study,”
Goswick said. “Neither the doctor nor
the patient knows which pill is taken un
til the end of the study. This ensures the
test results will be honest and unbiased.”
The testing will take place over a six-
month period.
The women participating in the study
will receive a six-month supply of either
Estrostep or Loestrin dunng the £
and an additional six-month stipe;
Loestrin and $120 if they compls
study. Also included are compteif
cal, blood work, pelvic exams
