O'ROURKE OUT AGAINST
 ALL BASEBALL POOL SELLING
President of Connecticut League Says
 Gamblers Will be Severely Dealt With

falo and myself was appointed to take charge of the matter"
 ''The gambling interestes will never get the hold on baseball that they did on racing. Big league officials are opposed to pool selling. They main tain Pinkertons in their parks to arr rest any persons caught gambling The post office officials are now taking up the matter and anybody discover ed using the mails for the purpose of baseball pool selling will be pros- ecuted."
 Baseball is an honest sport. It always was and it always will be. Owners of ball clubs know their prop erty depends upon the integrity of the national game and they will not al- low any cheap gamblers to ruin a grand sport.
 "I haven't heard of any extensive pool selling in this city but if I do I shall ask the police to arrest the guilty Darties."

 ''The Connecticut league will do all in it's power to stamp out pool selling and other gambling in baseball" said President James H. O'Rourke this morning. We are opposed to it first. last and all the time. Baseball and gambling cannot go hand in hand. We want nothing to do with the people who drove horse racing out of exist ence.''

 He writes that he has a team of the best men obtainable and will be in this city the first of next week with his men. Some effort will be made to have the schedule revised for Saturday an Sunday games at Hanover. Ferry himself will play and although out of the game for the past year, is still in good condition and will be one of the few playing managers about the country.

 Clarence Edmundson, of the Seattle Athletic Club, is another picked by the experts to make the American team. In unofficial trials he has run the half mile in 1:56 3-5.
 The first try-outs for the team will be held on Stamford Oval, May IS.
 Roses latest feat shows he is in grand condition, despite reports to the contrary. He will surely make the trip to Sweden, where his services will be greatly needed by Uncle Sam.
 Rose competed in the London Olym- pic in 1908. He won the shot-put event with hurl of 46 feet 71z in ches. Every one expects Rose to beat the best again.

HEMIOCKS TAKE CRACK
 AT ATLAS A. c. BOYS.

Sporting Editor:-In a recent ,edi- tion of your paper, I note that some person has credited the Atlas A. c. with being the best team in the city in their class. To this I take excep- tion, SIS it is known, in general, throughout the city, particularly in the West End, that the Atlas A. C. are far from being champions in their class. In justice to the Atlas and their followers, it may be said that they have one of the best second-rate teams ill the city. but as regards their being champions, I am certainly at loss to figure out who wrote them up as champions. Hoping that this let ter will receive due consideration, I remain
 Yours truly,

Four. of the men have Merritt in baseball and football: J. H. Philbin in football and crew: J. A. Reilly football and baseball and L.. w. Scully, football and crew.
 Zimmerman's double in the eighth was the only clout that the Chicago Cubs could collect and it spoiled Hess chance for a no hit game. A base on balls in front of it gave Chicago it's only run in yesterdays game with Boston.
 At last it happened. The Giants took one from St. Louis and the Reds let the recovering Phillies hand them trimming. Meaning that Hank O'Day's team is now in second place.

The largest bOwery ever erected in

Let us hope that next year there
