The Black Sox scandal of 1919 started out as a few gamblers trying to get rich, and turned into one of the biggest, and easily the darkest, event in baseball history. It was another jolt to a nation already in turmoil and made the American people lose faith in the game they loved. The players and conspirators are long dead, but the controvery rages on.

The ceremonial signing of the Treaty took place in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, at three o'clock on the summer afternoon of 28 June 1919. More than a thousand people were crowded into the vast room, with a long velvet-covered table at one end where the 72 delegates were seated. Although Germany had to be the first to sign the Treaty, the signatures of Herman Muller and Johannes Bell, the two German delegates, appear last on the pages (signatures page 11). As soon as Muller and Bell signed, the great fountains of Versailles, stilled when war was declared in 1914, were turned on, the spectacle visible through the wall of windows, and to many of the 50 000 people assembled in the Palace grounds.
