Efforts on the part of major league

successful failures in the face of op-

politicians. it is said. who made an
attempt to have the bars lifted for a
number of the men who were black
listed at the gate, but he remained
firm, and as result gambling at the
Yankee games is fast being stopped.
The biggest row of the season in
which the gamblers figured was the
recent near-riot at Boston, when the
Red SOx were playing the Chicago
Sox. 1t is admitted by several Bos-
ton sport writers that the gamblers
were responsible for the crowd surg

the game, when rain temporarily in

thoroughly incensed over this incl

detectives to spot the gambler. and
action similar to that taken by Harry
Sparrow will be used by the Boston

The gamblers have been getting
holder each season, and it is high
time the club owners got busy, for
gambling would soon do to baseball
what it did to racing years ago.
