HOT AFTER PETTY GAMBLERS
New York American League Club
Making Usual Drive Against Bet
ting at Polo Grounds.

officials Of the New York American
league club are making their usual
drive against the petty gamblers who
infest the main grandstand back Of
third base and the list Of gamblers who
find 1t impossible to get into the Polo
grounds when the Yankees are playing
is growing as d result. says a New
York Evening Sun critic. Since the
activity against these bettors was
started by Yankee officials many gam
blers have been led to the gate. given
a refund on their admission and told
to keep out. Some have attempted to
return, but find themselves barred and
must do their small fry wagering over
the ticker tape, If at all, when the
Yanks r home.
Baseball's hold on the American pub
lie is due In the most part to the in
tegrity Of the players and the fact that
the finger Of suspicion canot be point
ed at the result Of the games. For
this reason 1t always has been the aim
of. those identified with the sport to
drive out the gambling element. The
game is better off without persons Of
this ilk, and the owners Of the Yankees
are to be commended on their stand.
These gamblers make themselves OBJ
noxious and Objectionable not only to
the club management but to the other
fans who put home loyalty above a
dollar or two.

CONFIDENCE is BIG
HANDICAP TO EHMKE
Detroit Pitcher Is Good and
Bound to Improve.
CareIessness Has Been Only Drawback
to Tigers Hurting So Far, a Fault
He Should Endeavor to Over.
como at Once.

Few pitchers who have come into
the majors in recent years have dis
played more natural ability, speed,
curves and control, than Howard
Ehmke. He Is a good pitcher now
and is bound to improve. but he has
one fault which he should overcome,
q tendency to be careless.
Confidence in their own abilities has
made great ball players out of many
who otherwise would have been only
ordinary major leaguers. There is
probably no greater example Of this
than the case of Ty Cobb, much of his
s-uper-success being attributed to this
trait.
Ehmke has the same confidence and
deserves credit for it. But be must
learn to curb 1t, to permit 1t to as
sert Itself at only the proper time and
only In the right way. Too much of
II often provokes carelessness and
that has been the only drawback to
Ehmke's pitching SO far. It prevents
him from taking the opposing club Sc
riously enough.
This feature Of his play has been
in evidence frequently this season, and
It bobbed up again Sunday. He did
not seem to exert himself enough at
the start of the game, and before he
had settled down Washington had
scored a run in the first inning. One
run is a lot to give Walter Johnson. f,
After that Ehmke sailed along at
Top speed, and as long as he was care
ful and steady the Senators could do
nothing with him. He permitted him
self to get into tight places in the fifth
and again in the ninth, and both times
Washington began scoring before he
got out of trouble.
The Senator's ninth inning frolic
would not have reached those pro-
portions, however, had 1t not been fol-
Cobb's letting Rice's grounder get
through him. Rice and two others scor.
ing before the ball was returned.

between the owners Of the
Giants and the Yankees concern
