MAY BE Held in
GAMBLING CASE
Ah Yet, Says Allegation, Allow
ed Game to Run in Premises
of Which He Had Charge.

With the charge preferred this
morning against All Yet, manager OF
the Chinese drug store Of Fook 0ng,
lie Hotel street, OF allowing a game
OF chance to, be conducted in build
ing which he rented or was in charge
Of for the renters, there appears on
the police court calendar the rirst
case against the owner or renter of a
building, under the gambling statutes.
This is in line with the recent re-
commendation of Judge j. M. Monsar-
rat that the gambling evil could be
effectively stamped out by proceed
ing against the owners of places where
games are run. Vets trial is set for
Friday morning.
All Yet was arrested with IA other
Chinese in the Fook Wo Ong store at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Yet was
downstairs, and the game was in q
room upstairs, but the police claim
Yet called to the gamblers and that
he also signaled them by ringing a
gong when he saw Detective Kellett
and five other officers run into the
store.
One of the IA Chinese taken in the
raid forfeited his bail of SIS by failing
to appear. in court this morning. The
others paid fines of $40 and costs
each, pleading guilty.
May Be Test Case.
Assistant City and County Attorney
Charles +. Chillingworth this after
noon said he would press the case
against All Yet, and If the evidence
was strong enough 1t would be IN the
nature of test case.
I'VE would like well enough to get
the owners of buildings or the men
who rent the buildings, and impose
fines on them or send them to Jail, but
1t is hard to prove that a landlord
knows what is going on In a place
unless he is present when an arrest
is made. You can hardly show con-
vincingly that an owner knows q game
is in progress in some part of build
ing belonging to him, when he is no
where near the building and possibly
seldom goes near IL, which is the case
with many of the places here that are
used for gambling"
All Yet is out on 800 bail. In the
case of the other men arrested, II was
not shown they had any banker in
the game and there was no door lock-
ed or barricaded when the detectives
entered The door was opened just
as they rushed up the steps.

for the Yankees in wonderful style.

Wind RObs Baker of Fame.

Fame is often hung upon thin
threads. Only sudden gust Of wind
prevented Blooie Baker from taking his
place at once az the too Of the row
Coming up in the third his eye sud
denly fell upon a familiar laedscape,
VIZ, the right field wall at the Polo
Grounds.
Taking toe hold on ono Of Schupp's
fast ones, Baker hammered a long high
drive to right. The ball started fair
by fifteen feet, but began to drift with
the wind. A short distance away a
sudden gust came up and the long
blow fell foul by half dozen inches
over on the inside OF the stands. But
for that last gust Bakers wallop would
have dropped fair By three or four
feet. The dividing line between fame
and the other thing is often too narrow
TO be depicted by the naked orb.
The fanks took the jump i'm the
second round, when Gedeon singled,
Schupp baked. Nunamakcr linked a hit
with Merkle's high peg, and Caldwell
doubled. This ended their attack in a
run-getting way, although Peck and
Nunamaker opened the ninth with hits.
This rally gave the Yanks their chance.
but Bauman and Mullen, pinch hitters.
were unable to pinch of anything but
fairly easy inheld outs.
In the second inning Merklc walked,
scoring on singles by Roush and Rari-
den, the new Fed entries. In the
seventh Burns and Doyle singled.
Lobert sacrificed. Kauf walked. filling
the bases. and Merkle shot a long single
20 right. scoring Burns and DOYLE. This
ended the tally-making for the after
noon.
The two clubs looked 10 be we'll
matched in all departments and, barr
ing d sudden shift IN form. should con-
tinue the even struggle this afternoon.
