Quoting future book on the outcome
of the pennant races is not going to meet
with success. The authorities, while they
may be helpless to prevent the trans
actions, will scare those wanting to
wager enough to prevent the scheme
from being a financial success.
Just as soon as betting is mentioned
in connection with base ball there is
always a cry goes up. Those in charge
of the sport wisely oppose it, realizing
that the games popularity is entirely
due to the fact that II has been free
from gambling. Where speculation makes
horse racing possible it has detrimental
eeffct on base ball. and not only to the
men who own the ball clubs. but the pub
lie as well realizes that II base ball Is
to live it must be kept free from the
element which has placed horse racing
virtually out of existence. :.

TO STOP BETTING
Federal and State Authorities
After Base Ball Gamblers.
SCHEME WILL BE STOPPED
President Lynch Says It Looks Like
a "Get Rich Quick"
Affair.

NEW YORK, February 2S-The scheme
of a betting syndicate to introduce pool
selling into the base ball games of the
National and American Leagues this sum-
mer will be promptly and thoroughly in
vestigated by federal and state authori-
ties here, and it is not unlikely that they
will find a method of putting a prompt
quietus on the proposed innovation
Copies of the syndicate's circular were
placed in the hands of the United States
district attorney, Henry A. Wise. and of
the state district attorney, Charles S.
Whitman, as soon as received by local
base ball officials. Both prosecutors an
nounced at once that they would do all
in their power to stop the gamblers.
1.-The circular carefully instructs SUBJ
scribers not to use the mails said Mr.
Wise, but nevertheless I am going to
turn one of these over to the post Office
inspectors and tell them to watch the
mails. 1 am also going to investigate
the use Of the express companies for
their purposes and see IT l can take
any action there.
District Attorney Whitman said he
would instruct his detectives to watch
the express and telegraph companies for
bets being made as result OF the pam
phlets.
1T is against the law in this state, even
though the men have their headquarters
in another state" said Mr.. Whitman.
1.-The law says that If a whole or a part
of a crime is committed in this state the
perpetratbr can be prosecuted. II l find
that any bets are being made with this
circular as a stimulus shall Immediately
prosecute.
Base ball men will help the district at
torney to get evidence against the gam
blers. Thomas j. Lynch, president of the
National League. thinks the scheme Is a
swindle. 1T looks he said, like get
rich-duick game pure and simple. Look
at the odds offered. They are ridiculous.
"You can say for me that the National
League will do all in its power to break
up the scheme because it is a bad thing
for base ball. While l don't believe that
you can hurt the game now. still, such a
plan as this is not going to improve it,
and it will only mean that a lot of per-
sons who cannot make a living at other
gambling enterprises are turning to base
ball"
You can't make my objection to the
scheme too strong" said Edward Barrow,
president of the Eastern League. Such a
scheme as this lowers base ball from the
high plane on which it has been placed
after years of effort. OF course, there Is
nothing that can permanently hurt the
game now, but this scheme brings the
sport down to a lower level and causes
the skeptic to look on the sport with
suspicion
