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 way 10 break
up groups of gamblers who were wont
to congregate along the right fed
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
o5structed the passageway. Finally
he hit upon a plan that caused the
gamblers to howl to heaven. He
strung a series of signs along the CIR
ders, utterly blocking the view OF the
piaSing field from the rear OF the
stand. That did more than all the
cops in the Mcund City. One may
walk in comfort through the 81. L6ul~
stand now without hearing the boots
and bowls Of the short enders.

MASSACHUSETTS IN
BIG BASEBALL FEUD
It Exists Between Towns OF
Orange and AthOI.
Manager Pat Moran Of Cincinnati
Reds, Says Stranaest 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
ball Only-wOrse than Rome and
Carthage, and the struggles between
them are something terrible to talk
Of. The strangest thing about this
rivalry Is the fact that the fighting
doesn't, as a rule, happen at the
games.
'The games between Athol and
Orange are played with only the
usual amount Of scrapping, hooting
and bottle pegging-just about as
much as always happens at such in,
tertown affairs-but after the game
good night, Fido! The trolley cars.
running between the two towns are
rolling lunatic asylums, and the com
bat is ncessant-nothing but flying
fists on every car.
The ball players long since learned
not to get involved in these battles,
they never use the cars, but slip quiet
ly through the woods and hoof it
home. AS to the umpires-well, can
you imagine an imp taking chance
on one of those trolleys? They slip
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
smash right back; the car crews are
powerless-and are usually in the
thickest Of the fight anyhow, being hot
sans-and the battle lasts till the po-
lice at either end of the line collect
all the fans they can capture.
"One of the first games ever played
in-abOut twenty-five years ago-was
between Athol and Orange, and still
remember seeing the cars pull out
with everyone hitting everybody else
on the nose. And it's been so ever
since-the feud never gets cold. A
business man of Athol may have the
most confidential relations with bust
ness man of Orange-may trust him
with any sum of money-but if the two
of them board the same trolley car
after one of those games, they'll be
found at the end OF the line rolling in
the aisle and clawing each others giz-
yards. That's real baseball, with real
fans to help it Chicago Daily
