GREEK MEETS
GREEK TO-DAY

This week is likely to make some
local history in Northwestern
league annals, for the Indians
tackle the Terrible Turks, who
lead the column, with the Indians
as points behind. The Seattle
team, cheristened the Turks this
season in preference to Siwash Of
other years, Is the proposition
Brown has been figuring hardest
on. Lynch is leading them now,
and Dug has had to part with more
coin than he cares to think about
in getting together bunch calcu-
lated to save him from the ever
lasting wrath of Seattle by win
ming the rag this year.
So far the Turks have had ali
the best of it on their home
grounds. They are all pretty hefty
with the stick and their fence is
handy for home runs. At Recrea-
ton the distance is sufficient tC
keep the ball inside the lot, as a
usual thing, and there are some In
dams fooling around out there pos
sessed of the notion of keeping
the ball inside their mitts, like
wise. Also the Indians can meet
the Turks on the level and maybe
a bit better in the somewhat i'm
portant matter of keeping the stick
against the leather.
It's the fight of the league right
here this week The Indians ought
to cut down the Turk lead fright
fully If they don't slip by them en-
tirely.
Yesterday the Indians grabbed
away the Tacoma series by a II to
6 score. Claflin had terrible day
of 1t and the Indians were feeling
fine and frisky in spite of the bad
weather, Brown was entitled to
Saturdays game also, but Baker
was mystery at times, although

TENNESSEE WILL TEST

The prohibition laws known as the

is regarded as a certainty will be
tested in the courts. 1t has been
known for some time that the
manufacturers law, which pro-
hibits the manufacture of intoxi-
cants after January /. 19O10, would
be tested, but that the four-mile
law would undergo test was not
anticipated. AS the four-mile law
will become effective July it is
thought that the suit will be insti-

Gambling at ball games is the
national pastime's greatest danger.
l am glad to see the efforts, slight
though they be. of Presidents Pull
liam and Johnson of the National
and American leagues respectively,
to put a stop to betting at the
games.
If the various club owners all
over the country would insist upon
enforcing an anti-betting order,
there would be less talk of crooked
games.
Signs posted in grand stand and
bleachers that betting will not be
permitted will not stop gambling.
Most men don't believe in signs
anyway. Drastic action is neces-
sary to put stop to this evil.
If the magnates want to stop
gambling, let them hire plain
clothes men and scatter them
through the crowd, with orders to
throw out every man who offers to
game. When he finds himself In
the street, the subject of jeers from
n grand stand or bhachers full of
people. the gambler will do one of
two things-quft betting or stay
away from the game, and either
will be satisfactory.
The men who make the greatest
noise about this and that man
breaking training. or throwing the
game, are the ones who recklessly
wager a dollar upon the outcome,
and lose.
Come on, Mr.. Magnate. wake up
and head off this evil. There has
been too much talk of base ball rot
tenness this spring. You don't want
any more of 1t, do you?
