numerous circular quartz mills and

coarse powder, while the circular mills

The Presld -nt's Policy.

The question among the poll

disgluntled politicians in the
country who are very much dis

policy and is no use for them to
say The Bee is not telling the truth.

THE GAMBLING EVIL.
American Baseball League Strikes
Hard Blow at It.
should Also Stop Sale of LiquOF-Pa-
irons OF the National Sport OPP
posed to the Ordinary Process
sion of Intoxicated Men.

President Ban Johnson, of the
American baseball league, asked his
brother magnaJes TO strike a blow
at the gambling evil which in some
baseball cities of the circuit has as
sumed remarkable proportions. 1t
cid not take the league session long
to legislate against this practice. Be
hind Mr.. Johnson's commendable ac-
tion lies a story which illustrates
how the fearless executive of the
league came to realize to what an
extent baseball could be robbed of
its interest by betting.
When a weIl-knOWn eX-ball player
requested Mr.. Johnson 10 put him
on the list o. A1erican league um-
pires, the joHt ro5vrd president
gave him a lo-E calculated 10 witheT
the applicant.
mo, sir" r. lied Mr.. johnson, -
have no use for a man who would
bet and throw a game. You did that
years ago when pitching in a game
in which / was the catcher. If you
will throw a game in a country
league for $50, how much would it
take to get you to make dishonest
decisions in an American league
game? This league has no use for
such men as you are. l am deter
mined that as long as I have any
thing to do with professional base
ball the game shall be free from
gambling. If men viii gamble, let
them stick to cards and horse races.
Baseball will be the national sport
of this country so long as the re-
public lives-and that will be for
ever"
The seeker for the Office of umpire
retired without making a reply. He
recalled the day down in Ohio when
his team played a climax game with
The Washington bee., 1902-01-04

another rural nine and the animated
scenes just preceding the game, in
which a Columbus CO., gambler
made the money fly by betting on
the team that was opposed TO Ban
JOhnsOn's nine. In vain did the
pitcher try to get in wild pitches at
vital moments. He essayed all sorts
of stunts in twirling so as TO per
nit the other side TO get a winning
lead. But his catcher "tumbled."
Try as he might, the pitcher could
not get the ball past Johnson. Fur
thermore, the president Of the
league was a hard hitter in those
days, and when he went to bat with
three men on bases he told his
pitcher that he would try 10 land a
home run. The hit that followed
was one of the most vicious ever
made in the state until Eagle Eye"
Jake Beckley found his batting eve.
1t scored four runs. and won the
game for, Bans side.
After the game was won the
pitcher coolly informed Ban that he
was ''chump" for winning. and said
that he would have srlit $50 with
him had he played right" which, of
course, meant wrong"
Yet, pleasing as the rule against
gambling looks in the proceedings
of the American league, and severe
| as the penalty may seem-betters
are to be elected from the grounds
and their admission money is to be
retuTned-the law must necessarily
be a dead letter. II would require a
police force equal TO the total num-
ber of ball players in the league to
prevent betting,
But, adds the Chicago Post, one
thing which the league might have
| done with much more hope of aboI-
ishing an evil would be to pass a rule
preventing the sale Of liquor at a
| baseball park. The majority of
patrons Of baseball are not interest
ed in whether John Smith bets his
friend Harry Jones that team will
win or lose, if the wagering is done
in the manner of betters at hall
games and not openly, as betting is
conducted at race tracks. But the
many patrons who would take their
wives and sweethearts TO baseball
games are opposed to the Haunting
| OF liquor drinking before their eyes
opposed TO seeing a procession Of
turbulent men coming from the bar
with ribald jests on their lips about
| the whisky being poor and the beer
bitter, etc. Beer bottles flying from
| the bleachers to the ball field. it is
true, are no worse for the PLAYERS
than pop bottles, but the turning Of
the lower portion of the grand stand
into a saloon is scarcely in keeping
with the high standard of baseball
which the magnates insist upon.
The cities of the big leagues which
Iare charged with permitting the sale
OF liquor at the ball park are the
sore spots in baseball.
