LAW AGAINST
HANDBOOKING
BADLY NEEDED
By Percy H. Whiting.

THE attention of the men who
have gathered for the purpose
of making new laws for Geor-
gia is called to the fact that this
State needs a law against gambling.
Yes. it has one, but it is not ade-
luate to prevent handbook gambling.
Under the present law, so We are
Informed by attorneys Of great prom
hence, a man could parade up and
down Peachtree Street offering bets
on baseball games and horse races,
and not be liable TO arrest.
So long as he had no fixed place
Of business and could not be arrest
ed for conducting a gambling bouse
he is immune.
THIS is a wretched state of affairs.
L Handbook gambling ought to be
prohibited by law. 1t leads to more
serious gambling. it. gets boys and
young men started in the wrong way
IT results in petty thievery, wasted
money. It lines the purses of the
gambling gentry often at the expense
of mothers and children who would
have had the benefit of the money
except for a foolish flyer on a ball
game or a horse race.
THE worst feature of the handbook
L gambling, perhaps. is its wretch
ed influence on the sports themselves
Of course racing isn't worth saw
ing.
No sports that exists for gambling
alone is.
But baseball is. That is the great
national sport, and thus far it has
been kept practically above sus-
picion.
If gambling on the games contin-
ues long ii will not escape suspicion
and it will doubtless deserve sus-
picion and worse.
If only to save the greatest Of
American sports handbook gambling
should be stopped.
1T is not presumed that a mere law
will prevent betting. But it will
at least drive it to cover and yank
off the mask of -espectability. If
it isn't against the law to run a
handbook why shouldn't anybody do
it? That is what a lot of them ask
And IT is a hard question to answer
If a measure to prevent handbook
gambling could be put before the
Legislature it would go through fly
iEg.
There isn't a man who would vote
against it. They would all realize
that such a law ought to be on the
books.
But will anybody bring such a law
before them and see that it comes
to q vOte2
1t would do more good for
State of Georgia than many
that will be passed.

slump. Even the best of them
slump. Cleveland has kept the
Athletics within hailing distance
while crusading through the
East, which was a good deal of
a trick considering the speed at
which the Athletics were NOV
ing. That about sums up the sit
uation in the two leagues.
THE Giants case at this time per
L haps deserves a little consider
alton. The club had wonderful
road trip through the West, gaining
on the Phillies and winning twelve
games and losing only four.
The silver lining in the showing of
the Giants ON the road during this
last trip can be found by a glance at
the schedule. The New York club
winds up its season with swing
through the West this year, and, if
the final dispute comes down to a
battle between the Giants and Phil
lies to the wire, I look to see New
York nose the Philadelphia boys out
on this final trip.
THE Cubs now threaten to be fac

Dominick smoothed the rug over his

curious expression Of cold, enforced
patience.

There was a sofa in the hall and
they laid their burden there, the
crowd edging in on them, Mortified, in
terested, hungrily peering. Rose
could see their bent, expressive backs
and the craning napes of their necks.
Then a sharp order from the doctor
drove them back, sheepish, tramping
on one another's toes, punched
against the wall and still avidly star
ing. AS their ranks broke, the young
girl had sudden, vivid glimpse of
the man, his head and part of his
chest uncovered. Her heart gave a
leap of pity and she made a move
ment from the doorway, then stopped.
The lost traveller, that an hour before
had almost assumed the features of a
friend, was complete stranger that
she had never seen before.
He looked like a dead man. His
face, the chin up, the lips parted I'M

the shirt and was feeling the heart,
when Perley, who had flown into the
bar for more whisky, emerged, glass
in his hand. AS his eye fell upon the
man, he stopped, stared, and then ex-
claimed in loud-voiced amaze:

amazed innkeeper, that's the queer

him up here?"
Perley, his glass snatched from him
by the doctor who seemed entirely in
different to their recognition OF his
patient, shrugged helplessly.

aimlessly about him. "He was here

She was descending the stairs when
a commotion from below, a sound of
voices, loud. argumentative, rising and
falling in excited chorus, hurried her
steps. The lower hall, lit with lamps
and the glow Of its stove, heated to a
translucent red, was full of men. A
current OF cold could be felt in the
hot atmosphere and fresh snow was
melting on the floor. Standing by the
stove was man who had evidently

When Dominick returned to con-
sciousness he lay for space looking
directly in front Of him, then moved
bis head and let his eyes sweep the
walls. They were alien walls of white
plaster, naked Of all adornment. The
light from a shaded lamp lay across
one of them in soft yet clear wash
Of yellow, so clear that he could see
that the plaster was coarse.
There were few pieces Of furniture
in the room, and all new to him. A
bureau Of the old-fashioned marble
topped kind stood against the wall OPP
posite. The lamp that cast the yellow
light was on this bureau; its globe,
translucent gold reflection revealed
in liquid clearness in the mirror just
behind. 1t was not his own room nor
Berny's. He turned his head farther
on the pillow very slowly, for he
seemed sunk in an abyss Of suffering
and feebleness. On the table by the
beds head was another lamp, fold
ed newspaper shutting its light from
his face, and here his eyes stopped.
A woman was sitting by the foot Of
the bed, her head bent as If reading.
He stared at her with even more in
tentness than he had at the room.
The glow Of the lamp on the bureau
was behind her-he saw her against
it without color or detail, like a shad-
ow thrown on a sheet. Her outlines

her head, which was broken by the
coils of hair on top, her rather short
neck, with some sort Of collar binding
it, the curve Of her shoulders, round

thin woman. He did not think she
was his wife, but she might be, and
he moved and said suddenly in a
husky voice:
What time is it?"
The woman started, laid her book
down, and rose. She came forward
! and stood beside him. looking down,
the filaments Of hair round her head
blurring the sharpness of its outline.
He stared up at her, haggard and in
tent, and saw it was not his wife. 1t
was strange woman with a pleasant,
smiling face. He felt immensely re-
lieved and said with hoarse careful
