I know of at least two articles in the New Yorker that were related to the Black Sox scandal. One (which I recently found) talks about Hod Eller's pitching performance and the more famous one was from a Nov 1959 issue "Requiem for a Southpaw" about the author living next to a post banishment Lefty Williams which is the only real non-Eliot Asinof reference to a threat on Williams life during the 1919 World Series (something that there is no proof of and several baseball minds now believe didnt happen at all....I still say it is possibly true)
