TO MAKE BOOK ON BASEBALL
Gamblers, Finding Tarf, Betting
DWindIing Proposition, Prepare to
invade National Pastin1e.

/ Gamblers who have lost business
because they could not arouse bettors
| to interest in the running races at
| jamestown and Pensacola have turned
| to baseball with the opening of the
/ season, and already handbook men
and others are preparing to drag the
great American sport into the betting
ring.
| Betting schemes which have been
known In Pittsburg, Boston and But
falo for some years are being intro.
| duced In New York, and it is likely
they will be followed by attempts to
make book" at the grand stands.
Handbook men who operate on
| Broadway from Forty-sixth street
down to Fourteenth began to take bets
on the results Of games with the very
hrst contest of the season Ticket
spectators, whom the new ordinance
mas driven to cover and trouble, have
also gone into the business.
Enright, the Well-known commits
s1oner, who handles much money ON
races and acts for poolrooms in New
YORK and Cincinnati, has prepared the
most comprehensive scheme Of all. He
mas solicitors out seeking clients for
weekly pool on the number of runs
made by clubs In the American and
National leagues.
He has figured out that 1900 com.
b1nations of four clubs Of sixteen In
the two leagues may be made, and a
ticket on each of these sold for 81
will bring in $1,000 week. Here is
the list of prizes his solicitors have
offered:
First prize, on highest total of runs
made during six days play by com
bination OF four clubs, $500.
Second prize, for second highest
total made by combination of four
clubs, 500.
Third prize, $50.
BOBBY prize, for lowest number OF
runs made by a combination of four
clubs, $50.
Daily highest score of 8 combina.
ton, $40.
Daily lowest score, SO.
Thus the gamblers can pay out only
$500 week out Of the $1,000 taken in
That gives them a percentage of be-
tween IS and 100 per cent,
May be there are bettors in New
York who will like that kind of a
game said a gambler. There are
more farmers in this city than in any
agricultural state in the union and
such plan ought to prosper.
But, you consider that in faro bank
the player has less than one-half of
per cent. and that in roulette he
has between sand per cent. against
him. can you imagine how sane man
will prefer to lose his money against
such a bunk and still keep away from
a faro layout"

An uniaureIed Hero.

Here is a niche In the Hall Of Fama
for Seth a.. Eaton, a rural mali car
ried from the Middleboro postodice,
who, surrounded by woodland fire, his
horse lying on the ground stified with
smoke, his own hair singed, his hat
burned and one side of his face and
hands blistered, was still mindful of
duty and saved the mail he was car
rying by burying it in the sand, before
he fought through the line of fire to
safety. Not all the heroes tread the
battlefelds.- Fall River Herald.

johnson Asks Fewer Games.

Ban B. Johnson caused furry in
baseball circles all over the United
States the other day when he declared
he was advocating shorter major
league baseball schedule. The Ameri-
can league chief thinks the games
should begin late in April or on May 1.
Many baseball officials and critics
agree with Johnson in this They are
wondering what action the magnates
will take.
Johnson argued that the trainins
trips should be shorter and the cham
pionship schedule shortened also. He
thinks the weather Is too uncertain in
Anril to permit of good baseball.

Cooperative siIo Building.

A good example of cooperation is
shown in the case Of five farmers In
the vicinity of Litchf1eld, Mimi, who
purchased building material in large
enough quantities to erect a silo on
each of their farms and helped each
other in the construction.
One Of the farmers gave a detailed
account of the cost of his stlo as
s228.78, although the actual cash out
lay did not exceed 5000, the owner
and his boys doing much of the work.
It is estimated that by contract, such
a silo could not be built for less than
SITS.

season should start no earlier than
May 1. They declare that the south
