In passing, It is well to mention
that the gross receipts from these tick

highest week. $75.OO0.
president Dreyfus OF the Pittsburg
club, said. in the Baseball Magazine:
I'VE investigated and found that the
pools were getting more money out
of Pittsburg than the Pittsburg ball
club In one week we estimated as
nearly as we could on the actual fig
ures that they absorbed $4,000 from
that one city. We also Investigated and
found that a considerable number OF
alleged prize winners did not 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 a
lottery the purchaser OF one of the ly-
ing tickets doesn't get q fair chance to
win. He has members OF tbs concern
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 its
tickets through fifty agents. who in
turn had 800 eubagents, who supplied
$1,000 steady customers. It's pay
ments for police protection and other
forms of illegal connivance with the
authorities totaled $4,000 for one
week. 1t maintained an office staff
of thirty clerks, and yet its weekly
profits were $4,000. Another pool av-
eraged a profit of SIS, 900. another $685.
900, and many others all cut their in
dividual slices from the juicy melon
of public guillibility. For amid all
these colossal operations the fact
stands out conspicuously that the only
prizes actually given were the smaller
ones, except in certain well marked
cases where new territory was being
explored There may be honor among
thieves, but the lottery kings were
pikers. Sure of enormous profits. they
hogged the whole"

Fake Pools Injure National Game

Fans playing in public baseball pools
VIII do well to read how they are
"stung." The September Baseball
Magazine has an article exposing the
crooked work. Following is 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 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
baseball, aligned with the authorities
OF law and order, Is imperatively re-
Quired to preserve the game from that
same malignant influence which has
blighted SO many other favorite sports.
Honest baseball pools are no new
thing. They exist in small and anna
teur scale in almost every office build
lag in every hamlet in the country. It
has become a habit with young men
to set apart so cents or 81 a week OF
their savings to place in pool with
their associates, the whole sum going
at the end OF the week, to the FORUM
ate individual who selected the team
scoring the greatest number of runs.
This custom is a rather mild symp-
tom of general love of risk and chance
which reaches far moressinster form
In the patronage of public pools.
Fake Pools a Menace.
But fake public pools, the open, law
defying swindles of the professional
gamblers. merit no such passive ipdif-
ference. These pools, like poisonous
growths, have no proper place in the
sphere Of the game, but rather fatten
upon its public popularity and conf
dence, and in the end tend to break
down and destroy the solid structure
OF the sport itself. Such pools are q
real 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 ramifications all 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
workings of the colossal swindle.
1--WE quote from the sworn evidence
as produced in that trial when the SUI
perintendent of the printing concern
did all of the printing for the syndicate
was undergoing cross-examination:
What was the average number Of
lottery slips and tickets printed for
the company
"1t ranged from $4,000 to $4,000
three times q week.
How many tickets did you print
weekly for the pool?'
"'Well, the highest for a week was
25O,00O'
"'WelI, what was the average

Clemency Unlikely.

Executive clemency for Becker is re-
earoed as remote. AS District Attor-
ney OF New York county, Charles S.
whitman. the present governor prose
ecuted the former lieutenant both
times, personally conducting the ex-
animation Of the witnesses in the
second trial. Tonight he declined
to discuss the case in any way.
Speculation is rife here as to wheth-
er Becker, facing death. will not seek
to save his life by making revelations
in connection with the so-called police
system in New York to the governor.
Regardless Of his connection with the
Rosenthal case, he is believed to be
possessed Of information that would
be invaluable to the state and New
York City officials. The statement has
been frequently made that the trial of
Becker and the four gunner who shot
Rosenthal only scratched the surface
of the true conditions in New York po-
lice circles.
The date for Becker's execution may
not be set or the death warrant signed
until next week, owing to the absence
OF some of the judges from here The
law prescribes that an execution mus.
take place not less than four nor
more than six weeks after a decision
is handed down. Lieut. Governor
Schoenrek will act as governor dur
ing the next two or three days while
Gov. Whitman is in California 1t is
not believed that the Becker case will
be brought before the acting COVER
nor.
The prevailing opinion Of the court
written by Chief Judge William Bart
lett, held that the second trial was
fair and free from error. Judge Hogan
alone dissented. He submitted no
written opinion. Judge Seabury, who
as supreme court Judge presided at
the second trial and now is a member
Of the court Of appeals did not sit In
the case.

The German claims for the day en-
brace both east and west, notably around
1pres and north Of Przemysi. In the lat
ter region, it is announced that General
Mackenzen is again surging forward and
taxing a colossal number of prisoners.
The British war Office admits that the
British have been unable entirely to re-
form their line dented By the Germans
east Of Ypres, and this dovetails with the
German claims of advances in this re-
gion of Flanders
