A quick google search turned up that Donald Henderson Clarke was a relatively famous newspaper man of the day and a personal friend of Rothstein...this book it seems was a memoir of some of rothstein's life and almost certainly contains some info. on the black sox scandal. if anybody could find a copy it might be a very interesting read...rothstein is almost a mythic figure behind some of the great literature people in america...used in great gatsby (meyer wolfsheim)and guys and dolls (nathan detroit) to name a few...i am not proud to say that my grandfather knew mr. rothstein pretty well as a youth in new york and chicago...not sure any of this helps locate the book but interesting to know that there is a book out there.
