Williams gave Joe money after the last game of the Series because he said he had used Joe's name with the fixers. Joe took the proof to his club immediately the next day. Commy wouldn't see him, and Grabiner told Joe to take it home. Joe again tried bringing it up when Grabiner went to sign Joe over the winter and was told to keep it (and keep quiet about it). Joe did everything that is asked of a player (by the Landis standard).
