Dreyfuss Gives Opinion.

president Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh
club said. in the Base Ball Magazine:
I'VE investigated and found that the
pools were getting more money out of
Pittsburgh than the Pittsburgh ball
nearly as we could on the actual fig
ures that they absorbed 100000 from
that one city. We also Investigated
and found that a considerable number
of alleged prize winners didn't live at
the addresses that appeared or were
missing from the city directory or
hadn't received any prize money. One
Of the worst features of all these pools
is that even with the heavy odds
against him that are the nature OF
lottery the purchaser of one of the
lying tickets doesn't get fair chance
to win. He has members OF the con-
Germ to compete against and all KINDS
Of crooked work to contend with. so
that the prizes which are actually
given are the smaller ones and in no
case the larger amounts alleged In the
lists
The Pennsylvania distributed it's
tickets through fifty agents, who In
turn had 900 subagents. who supplied
$1,000 steady customers. Its payments
for police protection and other forms
of illegal connivance with the author1-
ties totaled $4,000 for one week. IL
maintained an office stan OF thirty
clerks. and yet its weekly profits were
$4,000. Another pool averaged
profit of $4,000, another $4,000. and
many others all. cut their individual
slices from, the juicy melon of public
gullibility For amid all these colossal
operations the fact stands out con-
spicuous that the only prizes actually
given were the smaller ones, except
in certain we'll marked cases where
new territory was being exploited.
There may be honor among thieves,
but the lottery kings were pikers. Sure
Of enormous profits, they hogged the

many others this year, in victory for
the pennant winners. The score was

Rosedales scored eight times and let

The game was called at the end Of the

There are stronger teams in the post
season series than the Rosedales, with
out doubt. but the latter may do better
work in their contests than is gener-
ally expected. There are several
youngsters on the team. some more ex-
perienced players. and with fair pitch
ing they may spring something of a
surprise. 1t is certain that the boys
will get a lot of support, because the
combination is popular around that

BASE BALL MENACED
Fake Pools Throughout Coun-
try Endanger the Sport.
MAKE ENORMOUS PROFITS
As High as $4,000 Per Week
Taken From Pittsburgh Alone,
Says Barney Dreyfus.

Fans playing in public base ball
pools will do well to read how they are
"stung." The September Base Ball
Magazine has an article exposing the
crooked work. We quote part of the
magazine article:
"A gambling spirit seems to have
seized upon the national game. In
many parts of. the country colossal
crooked syndicates, lotteries or pools
have sprung up, attained mushroom
growth. sucked a tainted fortune out
of the lifeblood Of the game, and with
cred away in the fierce glare of legal
retribution, only to be succeeded by
other syndicates elsewhere. So wide
spread Is the evil, SO menacing in its
scope, that the concerted effort of base
ball, aligned with the authorities of
law and order, is imperatively. required
to preserve the game from that same
malignant influence which has bHghted
so many other favorite sports.
Honest base ball pools are no new
thing. They exist in a small and anna
teur scale in almost every Office build
Ing in every hamlet in the country. It
has become habit with young men to
set apart SO cents or 81 week of their
associates, the whole sum going, at the
end of the week, to the fortunate 1ndf-
vidual who selected the team scoring
the greatest number of runs. This Gus
tom is a rather mild symptom Of gem
eral love of risk and chance which
reaches far more sinister form in the
patronage of public pools.
Fake Pools Menace.
But fake public pools. the open. law
defying swindles of the professional
gamblers, merit no such passive indff-
ference. These pools, like poisonous
growths, have no proper place in the
sphere of the game. but rather batten
upon its public popularity and con-
fdence, and in the end tend to break
down and destroy the solid structure OF
menace.
LAS typical of the methods pursued
by these parasites may be taken the
case of a pool operated in Pennsylva-
MIA. but it had ramifcations AZ over
the eastern United States and the mid
die west. A list of it's prize winners
for one week shows names scattered
over no less than six states.
Some revelations of the size and
scope of the company were brought to
light in the trial which exposed the
working of the colossal swindle.

as produced in that trial, when the su-
perintendent of the printing concern

It is likely that George Moriarty will
