up in the National League and the
American League and the magnates
instructed to see to it that gambling
was prohibited. Every effort is being
made to stop it, but doing so is an
other matter Arrests have been
made. but convictions are difficult.
C
Down at the Newark ball park bet
ting has been the vogue for the past
four years. At first it was done "on
the quiet but now the gamblers
make mo bones" of their business.
President Solomon, of the Newark
club, has said times without number
that he would go the limit to have
offenders punished, but it is no easy
task to nail the culprits so that con-
vietion is possible. It may be known
that certain members of the gang
are gambling, yet those who make
such an assertion and fail to prove
it are likely to get themselves into
trouble. President Solomon has some
of the suspects spotted under the
glass, he says, and at the first posi-
tive move they will be arrested. The
bettors' alibi is that they cannot be
arrested, and if arrested and the
charge is not proven, that they will
have a comeback for damages. This
seems to be their strong card, and
that's why. perhaps, that so few ar
rests have been made.
G
Over in New York betting on base
ball games at the Polo Grounds seems
to be quite the thing, 1t is so open
and fragrant there the club owners
are becoming apprehensive and have
sought methods to stamp it out. De-
tectives have been hired to spot on
the offenders, and have them barred
from the grounds. Even this doesn't
appear to check the practise. In the
stands at the Polo Grounds there is
fleet of "bookies" who will bet you
come of the game is reckoned with,
but bets are made on balls and
strikes and whether the batter will
make a safe hit, reach first base on
an error. strike out fly out or be
thrown out Everything is taken as
a gamble, and a bet can be made on
apv fea ture of tho game
g
The magnates, although anxious,
admit that it is most difficult mat
ter to stop betting at the ball parks,
so they have taken another means to
suppress the vice. "Spies" are hired
to patrol the grounds and get a line
on those who make a practise of
gambling and when next they show
at the gate they are refused admis-
sion. The arguments that ensue are
sometimes very warm and every day
at the Polo Grounds lately there are
some very strenuous alibis. Once re-
jected, though, hope is futile, and in
this way much good is accomplished,
Those most interested declare that
every bettor in sight will be driven
from the Polo Grounds before the
present month is out.

by his clever performance in the
worlds amateur tourney in England,
is still abroad and still golfing very
well-much better, in fact, than any
body over here ever dreamed he
could do. Heinrich's downfall in the
big tourney came about as a result
of match with Harold Hilton, whom
golfers on this side will recall as a
winner of our national tourney two
years ago. AS brilliant golfer as is
Hilton. it took him nineteen holes to
accomplish Schmidt's defeat, and
yesterday, in another match with Hill
ton, the English expert won only af-
ter stern effort and by only up.
In golf as in other sports, you can't
always sometimes telr' just how the
cards are going to turn. Better golf
ers than Schmidt ever dreamed of
being-Jerry Travers, Fred Herre-
shoff and Chic Evans, for instance
went over to England and failed mis-
erably in their play. Yet Schmidt,
unknown and surely not considered,
disturbs golfing circles by the excel
lent form he is displaying abroad. 1t
is another case of the grandolddope
not being worth a tinker's TRADE.

As featherweight champion
possibility, Patsy Kline is again off
the list His showing against Eddie
OKeefe at the st. Nicholas Rink, in
New York, last night, was away be-
low expectations. He was outpointed
at every turn. He was aggressive
and anxious and willing to match
punch for punch. but O'Keefe was too
foxy and too clever for him. Eddie
beat Kline at every stage. Their
likes for one another were mutually
offensive and they roughed it con-
siderably throughout the mill. 1t was
hard bout, and the prospects that
Kline might possibly send ,over one
of his famous lefts to the jaw made
it interesting from a local stand
point. With a little more cleverness,
Patsy would have the markings of a
champion, but he finds it so difficult
to locate his opponent that he is made
to look foolish against a fairly clever
man.

When two ball clubs are out after
a player the price is sure to go up.
The case of RUDE Schauer is sub
mitted. The New York Giants and
the Chicago Cubs were after the
twirler The Cubs saw him first. The
Superior Club of the Northern
League, which controlled the player,
raised the asking price so high that
the Cubs backed off and said Moth
ing doing!" Then the Giants came
on the scene and more bidding was
INDUCED in. Finally, it is said,
Schauer was sold to Manager Nc
Graw for a cool $10o You haven't
got to believe it, and it probably isn't
SO. But the Giants have him, and he
will report to them on August Is. He
is said to have been discovered by
Rube Waddell. He has pitched very
well this season so far, having twirled
three one-hit games. After Charley
Murphy, of the Cubs, learned the
Giants had secured Schauer he said
the pitcher would prove a lemon"
"Sour grapes" exist even in baseball.
o
Donald MacDougall is now the pos
SCISSOR of every hort-distance anna
teur record, with the exception of
the sixth of-a-mile mark, and he will
likely create new figures for that dis
lance just as soon as the opportunity
is offered. The marvellous speed of
MacDougall is the talk of the cycling
fans. A quick starter, he gets going
rapidly, and once on his way he
pedals so fast and so strong that he
fairly eats up the ground.
@
MacDougall gave an exhibition of
record breaking in the one-third- mile
handicap al the Velodrome last night.
He made two tries, but his first eff
fort was the. best. Starting from
scratch, he rode the distance in his
trial heat in 1885, seconds, which
surpassed the amateur figures and
equals the professional mark, which
is held by Paddy O'Sullivan Hehir
Off well, MacDougall covered the first
lap, or sixth of a mile, in 20 1-5
seconds, but the second lap he did
in exactly II 2-5 seconds which
gave him 81 3-5 seconds for the
third of-a- mile. In the final of the
race, MacDougall did not finish
among the prize winners, but sepa-
rately timed, after a high and ragged
ride, he made 3S seconds fiat As in
the trial heat, he rode the first lap

JULIAN PUTS COSTER OUT

Patsy Kline the local feather

rounds by Eddie O'Keefe. of Phila.

York. last night. Kline was out.
pointed all the way. He was unable
to stop the left and right hand jabs
of his Quaker opponent. 1t was said
that Kline was in good shape before
the mill, but his condition did not
avail him much against the clever
Philadelphia. On the whole, the mill
was tame one.
Kline's wicked left hook was not in
evidence except that it went wild
whenever started. The Newarker
showed fairly well up to the seventh
round, when O'Keefe began to jah
the local lads jaw with his left.
Kline's work was more effective at
close range than O'Keefe's. He
pounded the Philadelphians stomach
in the early. sessions, hut, although
these punches were of hard variety.
they did not seem to bother O'Keefe
in the least.
Kid Julian, of Syracuse, knocked
out Joe Coster, of Brooklyn, with
right hook to the jaw in the third
session of their scheduled ten-round
bout. Coster's finish came after he
had been previously knockedsdo for
the count of nine in the same chapter.
Coster fell into the arms of Referee
Pollock, who held him up and carried
him to his corner.
Matt Brock, of Cleveland, won the
first bout of the night. He outpointed
Tommy Houck by good margin, but
at the end Houck was fighting fast,
though painfully handicapped with a
cut face and damaged nose and lips
1t was Brooks first appearance in
New York, and he made fine inn
preston.

in 90 LIS seconds, but he took II AS
seconds to do the second lap.
@
Judging by the time he made on his
first lap in his record trial it is a
certainty that MacDougall will easily
be able to annex the sixth-of-a-m mile
record, the best time for which is held
by Percy Lawrence and was made by
him on the old six-lap track on the
present Motordrome site. In about a
eek, Manager Chapman will arrange
race so that MacDougall, who is
naturally anxious to secure all the
records, can have a good try at the
one-lap mark.
Frank Kramer and his champion
ship are still fast friends, and Goullet
and Clark and Grenda and the others
who have put in a bid for his title
will have to hold their horses for
some little time yet, it would seem.
Mad at nearly everybody, including
myself, Kramer made sure last night
that he would win the quarter-mile
Worthy contenders he had to dispose
of, but he made them all look rather
innocent when it came down to rae
ing Goullet, to his credit, gave the
champion a sassy and a desperate
ride from the outside all the way,
but Kramer was never in trouble and
won, while by inches only. not ridden
out by any means. Goullet, off third,
forced the issue all the way and his
ride was exceptional, in that he beat
Clark who was off second and on
Kramer's pace for a free ride. Gren-
da, off fourth, finished in that posi-
ton. He is no quarter-m miller by any
means.
Kramer was very determined and
he went into the five-mile open with
more vim and liking than he has dis
played for a long distance race in
ever so long. He kept well to the
front, closed the gaps and more than
did his share of hard work. But just
at the opportune time there was
shifting about of positions and the
champion was badly off during the
final lap. He was on Goullet's wheel
for an instant, but he lost it and had
to come a long way and a high way
in the final rush to the tape. He had
great speed and his ride up the
stretch was very fast. Goullet, who
won, also put up grand battle. He
rode around Clark and Grenda, while
those two worthless were having a
fierce battle side by side, which put
him three high on the bank, and he
had sufficient speed left to stall off
Kramer's challenge down the stretch.
Cavanagh, who used rare judgment
in allowing Kramer to get in line
ahead of him three laps before the
finish, also had much speed at the end
and finished third, beating out Clark,
who was fourth. Loftes was fifth.
Joe Fogler, the other troublesome
parsonage, got a puncture, which put
him out of the race.
