My understanding is that Comiskey was told the Series was fixed during the Series. If so, he was guilty of the same thing that got Buck Weaver banned.

The difference being, if I recall correctly, Comiskey didn't believe it and dismissed it as gossip, whereas Weaver was quite aware it was true and was offered bribes himself. Which is a pretty big gap.
