FEARS GAMBLERS MAY
SPOIL BASEBALL


San Francisco, July 23-That the
national game OF baseball stands in
danger of being compromised by pro-
fessional bookmakers is the opinion
OF Police Judge Shortall, of this city.
Two men arrested "Wednesday for
alleged bookmaking at the coast
league games at Recreation Park
were brought before the Judge
Though their cases were continued,
Shortall expressed his fear that the
game would eventually become the
medium for the operations OF book
makers and pool rooms.
Racing and boxing have been per
verted and corrupted through gamb-
ling. and it is not surprising that
gamblers, especially where race track
gambling is prohibited, turn to base
bali l think that any such tend
ency should be nipped in the bud.
Baseball has the name OF being Amer
iea's clean sport. II always has been
clean in California, and want to see
il remain So"
