THE TACOMA TIMES
STRONG ENDORSE NENT FOR
ANTI-GAMBLING BILL

Declaring racetrack gambling to
be the cause of Widespread vice,
dishonesty, immortality and bust
ness Generalization, Tacoma citi-
zens in mass meeting last night
endorsed the Ole Hanson anti
gambling bill now before the leg
islature and urged its passage.
The meeting was held in the
First Presbyterian church and was
largely attended. Practically ev-
erybody present signed a petition
in favor of the bill and several
hundred will form a petition in
boots to go to Olympia when the
bill comes up and demand its en-
actment into law.
Representative Ole Hanson told
the church people to talk less and
do more in politics. 1.-THE aver
age salOonkeeper controls about
three times as many votes as the
preacher said Hanson. Praying
Is a fine thing he said but it Is
votes that count at Olympia.
He pictured the dishonor and
poverty that has come to thou
sands as a result of gambling on
the ponies in this state and made
strong argument in favor of his
bill.
Mayor John w. Linck remained
away from his wife's birthday
party to speak for the measure
and Prosecutor j. L. McMurray
declared he was heartily in favor
of 1t. Senator Metcalf sent a let
ter commencing the measure,
Representative r. D. Shut was
present to spek for it and short
talks were made by e. j. McNee-
ley, G. M. yesterday, Rev. H. j.
White, j. o. Haughen and F. s.
d. Hughes.

SEWAGE SOAKING
into CELLARS

House sewage 10 breaking out
of the sewer and running over the
street and into private property
down in the vicinity of South
Forty-first and Thompson avenue
and q mighty howl Is coming to
the city hall.
This is the sewer over which
such a commotion was kicked up
for political effect last year when
sewage was said to be running in
to the city water supply. After
the election was over then the
matter was dropped, although
Commissioner McGregor tried to
have the council do something last
October, he says.
The sewer evidently was a
botched job and was put in with
out the pipe being properly ce-
mented. Now when high water
comes the storm water soaks into
the pipe, fills 1t to overfiowing
and backs the sewage up until 1t
runs out the manholes and covers
the street and soaks into the cell
lars of the people.
The commissioner says the only
thing to do is take the sewer up
and lay it right.

BUG" HOLIDAY GREAT
SLUGGER NOW A CRIPPLE

Bravely enduring the pain of an
ailment that has robbed him Of
the use of his legs, Jas. w. (Bug)
Holiday, for many years idol of
Cincinnati fans and noted as one
of the most feared batsmen in
base ball, sits in q big arm chair,
day after day, watching the thous-
ands who parade up and down
Central av.
"And to think that few years
ago I could run as far and as fast
as the best of them" he often re-
marks, looking ruefully at his
bandaged limbs.
Holiday was q terror to the
pitchers when he broke into fast
company. Everywhere he was
called the phenom," and natural
ly every pitcher desired to make
him look like a novice.
Old Tim Keefe was opposed to
Holiday one day and Tim was
sure he could make bug" tie
himself into all kinds of knots go
ing after the ball.
$50 you are ''the phenom!"
tainted Keefe sneeringly, as he
prepared to serve the ball. Holli-
day had heard of Keefe, and
smiled back confidently. "Well
hit thisi" exclaimed Tim, as he
turned one loose at Bugs" head.
Holiday lodged and prepared for
the next one. Keefe shot the ball
straight over the pan. bug"
landed on 1t and smashed it
against the fence.
well, you are phenom, all
right" was all Keefe said.
1t was Bugs" ability to clout
that put old Cyclone" Duryea out
of business. Duryea had been re-
leased to Washington by Cincin-
natl and returned to pitch his first
game against the Reds.
Holiday had been out of the
game for a time because of sick
ness. The game was close and
hits were NEEDED by the Reds.
bug" was sent into the game. He
went to the bat twice and knocked
out a home run each time. After
his second homer he was forced
to retire, the exertion of running
around the bases having Slapped
his strength. Duryea never re-
covered that beating, and it fin
ished him as a big league pitcher.
Holiday had one weakness; he
loved to bet on the ponies, and,
like all the other wise" ones, lost
his money. He was at one time
lemployed in a pool room at $40 a
day, but he lost most of his money
backing the bangtails.
One day friend asked him If
he could not quit playing the
races. Eyes, Ithink / could" re-
piled Holiday, IF someone would
take me into a room at the top of
ia castle, lock the door and throw
the key away"

dent Aaron Stern of the Cincinnati

lceived q salary of $500 his first

TACOMA PUTS
SEATTLE OUT
0F THE RAGE

In a nip and tuck struggle, the
Tacoma Y. M. G. A. last night put
Seattle out of the running for the
Northwest league championship at
basketball by the close score of 90
to 81 in the local gymnasium.
Seattle played with more luck
but Tacoma kept right after her
and the score varied back and
forth across the line until at the
the finish Tacoma was one ahead.
This puts Tacoma in second
place in the league race, with
Portland on top, the Webfooters
not having been beaten this year.
