PINCH FANS FOR GAMBLING
PRENDERGAST JlNXED
BY Mark Shields

force. 1t is said Pres. Weeghman
heard rumors that gambling was go
ing on in the stands at the North
Side park. He reported the matter
and agreed to cooperate with the
police in every way possible. Two
detectives wandering through the
stand in search of gamblers yester-
day were Mortified at what they saw.
According to the alert sleuths, one
gent bet another two whole dollars
in real money that the Cubs would
win. Then the sleuths waited around
until Boston had copied and say
they saw the money paid over. I'M
mediate pinChes were made. Great .
stuff. This will probably scare the
gents who run baseball pools to
death, and not another dollar will be
wagered this season.
What the dicks should have done
was to rush the fellow who bet on
the Cubs into the county court and
have his sanity tested. Dick Ru-
dOlph was pitching for the Braves.
Mike Prendergast was not highly
regarded at the start of the National
league season. Mike had made no
reputation in one of the organized
majors and for that reason little at
tention was paid to him. But for
this much of the playing season Mike
has shown as much effectiveness as
any man on the staff and shares with
George Mcconnell the dubious honor
of having the toughest breaks in the
luck.
He ranks among the first five
pitchers of the league on the score
of niggardly pitching, allowing fewer
than two earned runs per game. But
his winning average is below that of
Jim Vaughn and several other fell
lows of note, simply because his pals

Cy Williams of the Cubs is said to
be the greatest outfelder in the Ma
tionaI league. Cyrus surely towers
above them all.
BY manipulating a split second
watch with extraordinary speed one
may easily keep tab of the White
SOx winning streaks.
Gotham fans are wondering what
position Jim Thorpe will play when
he returns to the Giants. He will
probably play sitting position.
Fans in St. Louis wonder why
Plank isn't made head of the police
board. He's always there in a pinch!
The report that Freddie Welsh is
down to 1291a pounds leads a lot of
fight fans to wonder which leg he
has lost.

HowMessages Were Received

1.-THE first message" says Mrs Barker "came with
and breaks between the sentences with large and
badly formed letters but quite automatically The force
used such that my right arm were lame the

While writing these letters generally In state
of semconsciousness that until the message over

few instances was SO near Inconsistencies as laid
down the pencil had the remoest idea of what had
written.
THE spirit of Judge Hatch told me that his object IN
writing these letters primarily to strengthen certainty
In the fact OF the survival Of the the bodily
change which is called DEATH, regarding which X says:
There is nothing to fear in DEATH 1t is no harder
than trip to foreign country. When man comes out
here the strangers whom he meets more
than the foreign peoples first goes among

similar response to that GARTH This we meet on
