Ban Hurts the Merchants.

With the principal industry of China
town gone. the revenue from this source
experienced a propOrtionate falling on.
II is estimated that since Captain Fail
coner took charge in Chinatown the mer-
chants there have lost from 500" 10
$4,000. One remarkable transformation
has taken place in Chinatown as a result
of the ban on gambling.
From time immemorial a feud has ex-
listed between the rival tongs of the IMP
Sings and the On LeonGs, or four
Brothers," but with the ukase against
gambling the warning factions formed
bands for mutual protection. They held
a meeting last night, at which the deadly
gunner of the Hips and the on Leohss
rubbed shoulders and laid their slippers
side by side outside the door OF Mayor
Tom Lees rooms. at No. Is Mott street
where they listened to words of wisdom
from the Mayor"

The slant-eyed. sanddl-shod cohorts Of
Chinatown are deserving their holes as did
the historic rats Of Hamelin when the
Pied Piper passed through that city with
his magic flute But the reason is some
thing entirely different. Captain John
Falconer. i'm charge of the Elizabeth

Faconer took charge of the precinct. he
has shut down on all forms of gambling

AS everybody knows who has ever
rOamed through chinatown's secret places
and acquired the key to the innermost
recesses of the ramshacke buildings IN
Mott. Pell and Doyers streets. gambling
is OF the average mans life thing
apart It's a Chinaman's whole existence.
After Captain Faconer had issued his
ban on gambling, restaurants. social CLUBS
and political clubs, ali the places where
the goddess of torture" formerly held
sway, began 10 close up. The proprietors
and their clientele sought other fields
where a Chinaman could gamble. And

Eastern Me. League
Opens Season Today

Bangor, Me, June S.-The season of
the new Eastern Maine Baseball
League will open Tuesday. Brewer
playing at Bangor and Belfast at Old
Town. The league is made up of Ban
gor, Belfast, Old Town and Brewer,
the latter being the Easterns, playing
on the South Brewer grounds. but
having no connection with the Eastern
Manufacturing CO., where the most of
the players have been employed when
not playing.
The Bangor team is managed by the
Bangor Baseball Association, which
owned the Bangor team in the New
Brunswick and Maine League last
year. John P. Frawley is president.
The Belfast team is handled by the
association which has maintained a
team in that city for several years. w.
F. Chute of Holden is the owner and
manager of the Old Town team. The
team is new to that city, which has
not had professional ball for num-
her of years.
All four cities have enclosed grounds
and start with good equipment. The
league is under a salary limit of $3.50
week and the players are mostly
local, prep. school and college men,
with a few Massa chusetts profession
ais.
The schedule calls for SO games by
ca CHI team, two at home and two away
from home each week, with double
headers on holidays. AS Bangor and
Brewer are connected by trolley and
dates do not conflict, this means prac-
tically four games a week for Ban
gor and Brewer patrons. The teams
will use automobiles. the longest jump
being between Old Town and Bel
fast, about As miles. Two umpires
will be employed, paid by the associa-
ton, James McInnis of Gloucester,
brother of "Stuffy" McInnis of the
Athletics, has been signed and several
applications are under consideration.

The question of bait is always a time
w one with the angler, and it has been
worse than timely this spring, when the
frost in the ground has kept the wrigSly'
Shiny worm at a safe distance beneath
until most who have dug have gwen IL
UP as a bad job. Indeed, those who have
secured a few worms have found
ready market for them find fabulous
tales have found their way into the pap
ers about the panic prices paid In Berk-
shire and elsewhere for the common or
garden variety of angleworm 1t is gen.
orally admitted that the old fable OF tine
small boy with the bent pin who beat the
city angler with his fancy rod and reel
is true at least in part. That part per-
tains TO the thing on the small BOY
hook, not the spit, the angleworm. He Is
a potent lure, and not only for trout
either. The fish that will not look long
at an angleworm has never been found.
When other bats prove better that is
because they are larger and more easily
seen or because worms have seldom been
used in the vicinity.
An interesting DISCOURSE on the best
trout baits is included in recent num-
Der of the New York Sun which says
that usually big brook trout wait until
the May flies begin to swarm on the
waters before they ascend the streams
for their spring feed after their more or
less dormant winter. Early in the season
worms make the best bait. according to
trout anglers. who says that early in the
season the fish will not rise to the fly,
THE garden hackle is the best fly that
one can use TO get results" says an apg-
Ter who tries the waters on the Beaver
kill every year.
II is a well known fact that the trout
will go down to salt water when Its
home stream enters into the ocean. An
angler who had small success with an
gleworms tried sea worms and shrimp in
the brackish water, and on this bait
landed three beauties.
An upstate angler one morning tried
various sorts of bats with little or no
effect and was surprised? in casting in

The one big and Joyful surprise

been made of Hickey because of his
radical ideas. The best stunt he pulled
was to warm up his pinch-hitters. For
this he was pooh-poohed by every
body from the bleacherites to the oc-
cupants of the boxes. But as some
Cleveland critic aptly remarked, THE
only trouble with Rickey's theories is
that they were not first advanced by

Worms Will Never Lose Favor
REGARDLESS of Other Kinds OF Bait

The sAgler cast with that tuft of hair
and landed a trout. Another angler,
finding that trout would not take bait,
conceived the idea that If small-mouthed
black bass were too fond of little green
frogs such bait might interest brook
trout He tried the lure and, strange as
it may seem, landed fine member of
the salmon tribe.
Big trout will jump at almost anything
i'm motion on the water. artificial bait,
spoons, spinners, artificial grasshoppers,
crickets, frogs, dobsons. even garter
snake swimming. They also will take a
small spoon and a pectoral fin of one of
their own brethren. But there is one
thing that is certain, bait fishing is the
most successful method during the early
open season.
