OPEN BETTING NOT
To Be ALLOWED
At BALL PARK

The management of the Lakeland
Baseball Club wishes to take this
means of expressing to the baseball
public their absolute and utter con
demnation of the fragrant open bet
ting which has been carried on in
the gradstand during the recent Lake
land games. In order to be fair to
cur own people we wish to state that
it is not our belief that this is a
practice which was started by the To-
cal bettors but was instigated by the
--possibly-over enthusiastic crowd
of rooters which came up from Tam
pa to attend the Thursday, Friday and
Saturday games of last week. We UNI
derstand, of course, and appreciate
the fact that we are unable to dictate
to the people of Lakeland as to their
actions off the ball grounds but we
do insist and demand that the open
Offering and taking of bets Ia the
grandstand, such as prevailed during
the last three games at home, stop
Immediately, and we are asking the
city administration to lend us their
support in the shape of sufficient po-
lice protection to see that this prac-
tice is stopped in>the future. Such
actions do not meet with the APPROX
al of the general run Of baseball fans,
and in protection to ourselves and
the good name of our club and city,
we are obliged to ask the betting ele-
ment among our loyal supporters to
cooperate with us to this extent, at
least. Concurrence with this request
will save the management much adj
verse criticism, and will at the same
time obviate any possibility Of more
bor less embarrassment to the bet
tors themselves.
