Baseball gamblers at the Polo Grounds in New York have taken to the tall timbers. and haven't shown themselves since Business Manager Sparrow of the Yankees recently led a raid on them. With several detect ives at his heels Sparrow spotted a number of professional bettors as they applied for admission and barred them out. There have been rumors to the effect that several mo- torious gamblers have been making books on the grounds and were not molested, but they can't get away with it when Sparrow is around.

which way the ship swings around
there are no turns made
The main advantage in rnooring is
that in a narrow anchorage. such as
is usually the case with the fleet, a
vessel will swing in much Smaller
space than with a single anchor. Then
she has also less chance of fouling
her anchor with the chain. If a storm
arises. unless It is directly across
the line of anchors. she is more
strongly secured than with a single
