ARE ROBBED
BY CROOKED ROULETTE.

Par's.-A plot by which European
gaming tables have been cheated of
more than $1,OO0,OOO in the last two
years by means of crooked roulette
wheels has been revealed. it is said,
through the order issued few days
ago expelling two Americans from
France.
More than 100000 was got from
the bank at Monte Carlo, it is said.
John w. Gates was victim of the
same gang of rogues on his last visit
to Paris, according to the police. and
he was only one of many victims
from the United States, some of
whom, the Paris police assert, have
been fleeced in private clubs where
the doctored roulette whee's were in
troduced.
1t is now the theory of the author
tiles that, through the connivance of
gaming-house employees, fixed wheels
have been smuggled into more than
one of the Riviera resorts. Under the
scheme. once the wheen was intro
duced the players in the secret. know
ing how the numbers are likely to
run, have large chances of winning
a chance so much in their favor that
they can break the bank whenever
they are so disposed.

HOW Do YOU EXPLAIN
THIS, WALLA WAlLA?
PENDLETON SUPPORTS BALL
BETTER THAN HOME OF BEARS
Receipts for FIRST Two Games in Gar
den City Under Those Here for
Two Openers.

In view of the fact that Walla
Walla papers saw fit last week to
refer to the attendance at the game
here in Pendleton in terms somewhat
sarcastic, comparison between the
crowds which witnessed the first two
contests here and the first two there
Will not come amiss. According to
copies of the receipt slips received
here today from Manager Garrett,
the total receipts for the opening
game in Walla Walla this week
amounted to $5S and on the second
day $45.75, giving an aggregate for
the two days of $9S.75. With the
same teams playing here last week,
the receipts for the opening game
amounted to $3.50 and for the sec
ond game $43, total of $115.5O for
the two days, or S16.75 more than
was taken in at the Walla Walla
games. In view of the fact that
Walla Walla claims a population five
times greater than Pendleton and has
a first place team, whereas Pendle-
ton is in third place, the figures are
significant and need no comment.
