In 1920 "Ole Bill" Rumler was accused of throwing games, and taking money from Gamblers. For his involvement, he was given a five-year suspension for his involvement in the Pacific Coast League betting scandal. Most of the other players involved in this scandal were given lifetime bans.

With no other choices, Rumler played in Outlaw Leagues over the next few years. In 1929, the thirty-nine year old returned to the PCL with Hollywood, where Salt Lake had moved.

Here's Rumler's 1929 Zeenut. Thanks Mark!
