FOIL BIG GAMBLING CLIQUE
Secretary Bobby Quinn Uses Novel
Plan to Break UP Noisy Crowd
in Wing Of Grandstand.

Bobby Quinn, secretary Of the st.
Louis Browns, found a way to break
I'D groups Of gamblers who were wont
to congregate along the right field
wing of the grandstand and ply their
nefarious trade in open defiance of the
police. Quinn called in the munich
pal authorities, but got no satisfac-
ton. He employed private agencies,
but still the wagering went on. Fin
ally he went among the men himself
and tried to break up the groups that
obstructed the passageway. Finally
he hit upon plan that caused the
gamblers to howl to heaven. He
strung series Of signs along the CIR
ders, utterly blocking the view of the
playing field from the rear OF the
stand. That did more than all the
cops in the Mound City. One may
walk in comfort through the st. Louis
stand now without hearing the boots
and bowls of the short enders.

MASSACHUSETTS IN
:. BIG BASEBALL FEUD
It Exists Between Towns OF
Orange and Athol.
Manager Pat Moran of Cincinnati
Reds, Says Straneest Part Is That
Fighting Always Takes Place
on Trolley Cars.

"There have been some awful base
ball feuds," says Pat Moran of the
Cincinnati Reds, "but if I'm not mis-
taken, the worst of all exists between
the towns of Orange and Athol, Mass.
These cities hate each Other-in base

them are something terrible to talk
of. The strangest thing about this
rivalry is the fact that the lighting
doesn't, as a rule, happen at the
games.

Orange are played with only the
usual amount of scrapping, hooting
and bottle peggng-just about as
much as always happens at such in

you imagine an imp taking chance

up side streets and take secluded
trails. On the cars the fight lasts for
hours; the fans Of Athol smash the
fans Of Orange; the fans from Orange

HEAVY GUARDS
AROUND CASTLE
KAISER Will Remain In
Holland For Some
Long Time
Associated Press

AMERONGEN, Netherlands, April
24-There was excitement and alarm
at the Bentinck castle today when the
mail brought two violently worded
threatening letters to the former Ger
man Emperor William and, almost
simultaneously telegram was re-
ceived warning him of an attempt to
be made on his life.
The sixteen armed military police
men provided by the Dutch govern
errment at it's own expense to guard
the person of the fallen 1nonarch were
quickly mustered, Those off duty
were reused from their sleep and re-
ceived order to patrol the grounds of
the castle carrying loaded carbines.
This watch was continued throughout
the night, much to the discomfort of
the Dutch gendarmes who would be
delighted to learn that Herr Hohen-
zoilern had decided to seek shelter
in another land
Despite all the precautions taken
to guard him, it is evident that there
is frequent if not constant apprehen-
sion that some person might yet OBJ
tain entrance to the grounds of the
castle by stealth or subterfuge and
attack the former Emperor.
To ward off. such a possibility, the
steward Of the tate has been given
the daily task Of making a thorough
search Of the grounds before the erst-
while ruler sets his foot therein on
his daily journey to the woodshed 4
The sanctuary Of William II has
become prison without being call
ed by that name and within its walls
he spends much of, his time in an eff
fort to avoid comparison of his pre-
sent position with his fVmer great
ness.
There seems to be small chance that
he will seek another refuge When he
came to Holland he, undoubtedly, har-
bored the belief that his sojourn here
would be brief and that his former
subjects soon would recall him but
thus far no whisper has come for him
to return. He seems not to be want
ed in Germany but the Hollanders are
now hoping for his speedy departure
as they are beginning to feel that his
presence here is having bad effect
on their relations with the rest of the
world
Arrangements are being made at
Count Bentinck's castle for the con-
tinued ~sojourn of the German guest.
Whether the Entente nations will in
tervene and disturb the plans cannot
be forseen.
