| Summary |
"Accusations of attempted Bribery and game-fixing in the Massillion Morning Gleaner the morning after Game 2 of the 1906 "world-championship" professional football series, between the neighboring rival Canton Bulldogs and Massillon Tigers, led to the end of high-level pro football in Ohio for nearly a decade. Icons of the sport were initially implicated, including the captains of both teams: Canton's "Blondy" Wallace and Massillon's Bob Shiring. Shiring was quickly absolved, but Wallace sued to clear his name. As he never had his day in court, the full truth of the matter has never been known. Wallace's legacy and that of the sport's pioneers have hung in the balance for over a century"--Back cover. |
