There is no occasion for either the base
ball or civil authorities to get all eX-
cited about this betting syndicate which
sent out quotations on the coming PEN
nant races. 1t is not displaying conf
dence In the intellect Of the general pub
lie to want to safeguard it against betting
at prices which are absolutely prohibitive
People who are interested in base ball
know enough about the betting game not
to fall for strangle-hold odds such as
these Kentucky gentlemen offer. There
will be no Wild rush to the express COM
panies to send commissions to the busy
town of Newport, Ky. No doubt the in
divtdual who figured out the ODDS offered
had long experience booking on the trot-
ting turf.
Furthermore. people are not apt to turn
lot OF money over to this concern anu

Hal Chase and Bobby Wallace are two
managers who will DE under close scru-
tiny all the coming season. Because it

est in the showing their respective teams

Wallace naturally has the better of
Chase In that he will not be blamed il
lie bFOWnS TAI TO get out or last place,
for no one expects him to do much more.
But with Chase 1t Is different. He is
taking hold Of a team which finished sec
ond in the race last season. He syill re-
ceive but little credit If he brings the
team up to the same position. which will
by no means be an easy matter. II he
falls below the mark he will be classed
incompetent, and yet he can hardly be
expected to finish higher. for the High
landers have not the class to win q pen
nant.
There is considerable doubt in the minds
of New York critics as to whether Chase
will fill Stallings' shoes or not. There Is
no doubt about his capabilities as a
payer. but he must still show that he
can handle ball team and not have this
duty interfere with his playing
From the looks of things at present it

are those vino believe that there are sew

there are a score or more of ightweights

There are any number of pugs anxious
for Il chance at the champion. and they

weights have the class that the title
holders of decade or so ago could

time.
The Athletics are given credit for lav-
ing had the battery signals of every
team they met last season, and If this is
true it reflects no credit on the intelli-
gence Of the ball players they opposed
There was no device used by Mack's men,
but it is charged that the man next a.
bat would stand close to the plate and
catch the catcher's SIGNALS and commune
cate them to the batter. This was later
switched and Coombs. Bender and Hart
sci managed to Get the signals from the

According to New York paper Man

Under existing conditions ump'res do not

it is not unlikely that the former will
be replaced. Hal Chase and Harry Davis

might be said in this connection that this

Cuban article of ball, and the American
