Norably looked on by the Olympic
Committee-the New York Athletic

Baltimore-have distinguished them

certain that they are now faster than
others.
Olympic Rules Permit Two Entries.
AS the Olympic rules allow of two
entries in an event. it Is said that both
of these crews will be sent over with
out a tryout with n others. But a
strong protest will come in from row.

the executive committee of the N. A,

If the Arundel men should eventu-

who coaches the Baltimore crew also,
would be enabled to run over after the
intercollegiate regatta, which comes
off on June 90. and be in time for a
good amount Of coaching before July.

The foreign rules call for coxswains
for the four-oared crews. and his will

boats. Here nearly all boats are steer

each year by the coxswainless shells.
and they cause much wrangling and
dissatisfaction. Under the stress Of
excitement and fatigue. especially in a
close race and with a cross wind, the
crews often run into each other. There
are infinitely more fouls In the four
cars here than in all the other races
combined.

to send any eight-oared crews. as

Evidence Against Spectators Now Being Collected by

Policy Comes Under Lottery Class, Prevalent.

New York, May 15.-Evidence
against gambling promoters who have
established in New York and other
cities headquarters for pools on he
results of baseball games played by
the teams of the hig leagues is being
coliected preparatory to starting a cru
SADIE to save h national game from
the stigma which chung to and cvcntr-

investigators arc keeping
secret their present activities, it was
learned last week that the attention
OF n police officials has been called
to the matter and they will cooperate
with the owners of clubs and others
having at heart tho best interests of
baseball. in an effort to Illustrate the
gambling combines.
Results described as astonishing
have been obtained by the investiga-
tors thus far. They have established
that thousands of dollars are being

There are several pools in which
the tickets cost so cents each, n one.
the headquarters for which is said tn
be in Buffalo. sells SIS tickets.
The Preliminary Investigation has
disclosed that this G of gambling
on baseball is AS firmly established as
was the policy game. which So ruth
lessly robbed the poor of New York
before it was killed. The greatest diff
ticulty in dealing with the present sit
uation. the investigators say. is that
there is no central organization
against which to direct an attack.
No Central Head TO Pool.
Scores of pools have been started in
various sections "f New York and
BROOKLYN. each independent of the
other. Tickets have been placed Oh

arc being peddled h, agents. In MANY
cases these agents are employed i'll Of

There are eight clubs i'm each of the
three big leagues, and Mathema1icians
have figured it that there are 513 COM
hinations of three clubs possible to be
selected by purchasers of tickets. One
of the tickets obtained Yesterday by a
reporter advertised a first prize of Saa,
a second of SIS. and $40 for third or
hoohy prize for the combination maxi
ing the low weekly score, and Il 81
daily prize for the combination maxi
ing the high score each day..

that the $50 profit on each issue put
forth is multiplied by the number of

IN another pool for which a ticket

NOT TO
F e TITLE

Lawn tennis players of the Long
club. Boston. who are very
we'll acquainted with William a.
Larned. say that while the many
time champion of the United States
has not ever intimated that he will
not again defend his title. it is eX-
tremely doubtful if ne will ever play
at Newport again. They point to the
fact that tho champion will be oblis-
ed to play through this year and that
the ranking player of the country
does not take kindly to the prospect
of so vigorous Il preparation as is
necessary to fit him or anybody to
Withstand the strain that it imposes.
Beals G.. Wright Is another of the
so-called old guard, who has no vet
made known his plans for the season.
His father said at Wollaston that
even he does not know whether Eeals
will again he seen in tournaments.
However. the bulldog isn't the only
persistent fighter which offers little
help in this worlds progress.

what they want from the throne, i:
