said the custodian OF the Tigers hot

because he doesn't have so far to stoop.

Look at the way ownie Bush goes

scurry and make the plays the little
Tiger pulls. He is in a position to
handle the ball while on the dead run
while a taller man would have to re-
duce his speed in order to get down
low enough to pick up a grounder on
short bound.
There are a few tall men who are
good shortstops, admit Honus
Wagner is whale. but he Is built in
such a peculiar way and has such
bowed legs and long arms that he can

PUTS DAMPER ON
BET SYNDICATE
UPON COMPLAINT OF NATIONAL
COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE KNOCKS OUT
BASEBALL BOOK.

Cincinnati, o., March 22.-The West
ern Commission company has gone out
OF business. The Western Commission
company is a party of local bookmak-
ers organized at Newport, KY, which
Is located across the Ohio river from
this city. to accept bets on the results
of base ball games i'm the National and
American leagues and American assoc
citation.
They went TO the trouble of getting
the prophecies of all the base ball
writer's i'm the circuits Of these three
leagues and after summing up the
popular choices issued pamphlet
giving the odds against such and such
a team finishing in such and such a
position. The National Base Ball CHM
mission came across one of these
pomphlets and raised an awful howl.
The commission appealed to the de-
partment of justice at Washington and
that body put a damper on further
dealings. 1t was all made known
today by a telegram from the de-
partment of justice which holds that
the way the commission company was
to receive bets was illegal. At least
that is what is gained from the reports
here this afternoon.
The project was backed by a local
it is said, who was guided
by several bookmakers of the turf who
sought the base ball field after losing
out on the race tracks.
