The Chicago 'Black Sox' never won a World Series.

Why did 1919 World Series go nine games?
It didn't, the World Series in 1919 went eight games with the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Chicago White Sox 5 games to 3.

Which years did the White Sox conspire to throw World Series?
Some people prefer having enough money to live on. At the time, the lifetime earnings of a baseball player were less than that of a day laborer. Most players had to take jobs in the off-season just to pay the rent. When they retired, they got a grand total of ZILCH for their years of service to the club -- many died in complete destitution.
Did shoeless joe Jackson throw the World Series?
Shoeless Joe Jackson in my opinion did not throw the 1919 World Series. When you hit .375 and one third of your hits are for extra bases, i don't even know how you can speculate that he tried to throw it. He also had the most RBI's (6), and the most Runs scored (5) by the White Sox. Jackson also had the only homerun throughout the 1919 World Series. So sports experts and any person in general can think what they want, but in my opinion he did not try to throw the 1919 World Series.

When did the White Sox team form?
The Chicago White Sox team was enfranchised in 1894. However, they were known as the Sioux City Corn Huskers at that time. They later moved to St. Paul and finally settled on Chicago's South Side in 1900. The team was owned by Charles A. Comiskey who was the first baseman in his home town, Chicago. In 1900 the old American League formed, and Comiskey changed the team name to White Stockings. The White Stockings team was first managed by Clark C. Griffith, who nicknamed his players "Boy Wonders," and his team lived up to that name. That year, the White Sox won the American League Pennant. The American League (a minor League up to that point) declared itself part of the Major Leagues in 1901 and the White Stockings won the very first A.L. Pennant.. Chicago Tribune Sports Writers immediately began calling the White Stockings the White Sox for short. The organization OFFICIALLY changed the name to White Sox before the 1904 season, making the Chicago White Sox the FIRST Sox team, as the Red Sox were known as the Boston Americans until 1908.
