WARM WELCOME FOR
BASE BALL PLAYERS
Ex-President Hart of Chi
cago Says Success Awaits
the Tourists.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. June IA warm well
come in foreign lands awaits the Chicago
White SoX and the New York Giants, as
serted James A. Hart, former president
of the Chicago Cubs, who returned yes
terday from a trip around the word,
traversing part of the route the globe
trotting base ball teams will follow next
winter
He predicted an enthusiastic reception
of the ball players in all those nations
which already have shown an interest in
the sport, and especially in Japan, the
Philippines. Australia and France.
Manila will give a great welcome to
the teams" said Mr. Hart. so will Aus
tralia. if too many games are not played
in one city. In Japan base ball is con-
fined mostly to the colleges, though l saw
small boys playing the game. 1t appeals
more to the educated classes than the
rank and file, however, so the work there
will be educational rather than remunera-
tive. There are number of leagues in
Paris, where the game has a great vogue,
and they should draw well.
Il was in Japan during the early dis
cussion of the California land question.
but found no hostility toward this coun-
try except by the jingoists. 1 do not
think the base ball teams will suffer on
this account. The department of the play
ers on and off the field will be most i'm
portant, as the people in the countries
to be visited hardly would understand the
quarreling with the umpires and some of
the tricks which are regarded here as
legitimate.

BASE BALL GAMBLERS
HIT IN TWO CITIES
Two Hundred Barred From
Polo Grounds and Fifty Ar
rested at Shibe Park.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE crusade
against professional gamblers who at
tempt to ply their trade in big league
base ball parks resulted in determined
action in New York and Philadelphia
Yesterday. Fifty men were arrested at
Shibe Park, in the Quaker city.
Nearly 200 petty gamblers VINO make
a practice Of betting on base ball games
We're barred from the Polo grounds at
the instance of the New York American
League club. At least nalf of these per-
sons came over from Boston last week.
after they had been shut out OF Fenway
Park and the National League grounds
in that city.
Thomas O'Neil, in charge OF the pri-
vate detective force at the Brush sta
dium spotted the gamblers Friday and
Saturday while they Were carry!ng on
their business in the grand stand. When
they applied for admission to the grounds
yesterday the bars We're put up. Abe
Attell, the boxer, was among those eX-
cluded, but later he was admitted.
The police Of Philadelphia raided Shibe
Park and after fifty descriptive warrants
had been served on tine gamblers there,
six patrol wagons bullying with prisoners
drove to the city hall court yard and dis
charged their freight under the eyes of a
big crowd The fifty men taken in the
raid had hearing in the night court, ac-
cording to late dispatches.
A few men, Sdiu " NC wen hmoMh " tne
police, We're taken in the Philadelphia
haul when squads of police in plain
clothes swept through the lower pavilions
and even through the bleachers pluckin.
out every man they caught in the act of
placing or soliciting bets. Among those
caught were Lou Durlacker. known in the
pugilistic game as Diamond Lou, who was
one of the first plucked.
Most of the prisoners, when they were
hustled into the Office of John Shibe to
await patrols. refused TO give their names
and pronounced the arrests an outrage.
One man said that the police could go to
a place where it is hotter even than it is
here.
One of the men arrested said he was
Emory Tittman, long a prominent figure
about Shibe Park, the son of former
contractor, and rich. The prisoner begged
not to be put into a patrol wagon and
was taken to the city hall in his own
motor car.

huff1ly when she's here just a week
she likes to spend her evenings with us.
She can go gadding plenty in the city.
Can't you Jerry?
There was an unwonted wistful note in
his voice. Geraldine heard it with sur
prise. She had supposed that they We're
carelessly fond of her in the same old
way that she cared for them.
"And tomorrow nights your last he
added regretfully.
Geraldine was guiltily ashamed that at
that every moment she had been con-
templating departure the next morning.
NO it isn't" she declared recklessly In
atonement. iii stay till Monday She
told herself that she really needed the

stepmother exclaimed, eagerly. Jim,

downtown in the morning or III Whack

Geraldine laughed in gay gratitude, and
lay back contentedly in the hammock,
watching the moon glide slowly from be-
hind a white cloud. If one couldn't go
to receptions there was still fig cake to
sweeten life. And after a while She went
in to bed, too drowsy from the night air
to fret over Robert Arnolds possible
sense of humor.
But in the morning she awoke earlier
than usual and wondered at the heavy
feeling AS soon as she remembered she
shrugged it away. She was far too old
and too sensible to feel badly over such

honor of her guest. | am not invited.
He was puzzled, and looked it. You
don't know HERO
II was in her Sunday school class as long
ago as twenty years"
Robert Arnold looked questionngly at
her, waiting for her to explain, but she
shrugged her shoulders in amusement
and turned away as Mr.. Wilson, smiling,
approached.
Afterward she strolled home in a fairly
pleasant mood. Her own light words had
brought the humor of the situation plain
ly before her. She decided that-if Robert
Arnold, when the matter was completely
explained to him, as it would be before
he left the Wilson home, couldn't like
wise see the humOr, then he wasn't the
man she had thought him to be. and she
wouldn't care a snap for his opinion But
she hoped. wistfully, that he would see
the joke. If he was too obtuse-. Well,
it was only another illusion smashed. H.
fusion smashing was painful when one
was thirty, but it wasn't fatal, especially
when a woman had plenty of work.
She ate supper very contentedly, helr ed
her stepmother wash the dishes, inspected
her fathers struggling lettuce and list
ened to his plaintive excuses for it's far
from trim appearance.
Afterward she lounged in the hammock
while her stepmother slumbered in a big
rocker beside her, and her father sat on
the grass and kept mosquitoes away by
putting black pipe
She was thinking of Robert Arnold, who
at that moment was the center of an in
terested circle in the Wilson parlors.
Geraldine knew the interior of those par
lors. Mrs Wilson used to have the class
Of little girls up for cake and ice cream
twice year. How she had admired them
once as she sat stiltedly on the edge of q
green plush sofa, afraid to move, in all
that elegance of upholSter: and Brussels
lace curtains, How pleased she had been
when Mrs. Wilson told them Sunday that
she would expect them the following
Wednesday.
Geraldine laughed in self scorn. Snob
That was what she was degeneratine
into, She must be. or she would never
lounge there irritably wishing Mrs. Viii.
son had asked her tonight.
Mrs. Wilson is giving party to-
