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 it impossible to get into the Polo
grounds when the Yankees are playing
Is growing as 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
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 are home.
Baseballs 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 it 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 tt
the club management but to the othe'
fans who put home loyalty above
paltry dollar or two.

4 common estimate Of Crayath Ii

4 common estimate Of Cravath IL
that he is a s1ow-thinking, slow-mov
ing, slow-felding, good-natured chap
who pounds out base hits by sheer
might. If 1t is the common analysis II
is the wrong one. Cravath is prob
ably the headlest ball player on his
team. He Is lasting years after most
players pass into retirement, because
of brains.
Cravath can divine the intention OF
an opposing pitcher far better than his
younger and more agile pals. He has
a pair Of sharpshooter eyes and uses
them for seeing purposes. When
Cravath drives out a smoking hit you
can rest assured that he knew what
was being served to him and was set
for 1t. There is no hit-or-miss style
With him.
He knows how to play for batsmen
in right field and plays hits against the
wall at the Philadelphia park better
than any other right-fielder with the
Pills or on an opposing team. Cravath
ss his defensive skill all the more
Sa4dable by his uncanny throwing.
Cravath actually is one Of the best
throwing outfielders In America
Speaker can heave a ball faster, but
even Speaker can't throw with the
judgment of Cravath.

JACKSONVILLE DEFEATS THE
BANKERS.
Dendinger, In Fine Condition, Wins
the Game.
By D. H. Vinet.

In a. sea-saW but very interesting
baseball game, the Shipbuilders de-
featel the Ir terstate Bankers by a
score " 8 to Z.
This game was interesting from a
spectators point of view as it was
filled with hits. runs, errors Of omls-
sion and com:ssion and lots Of bone
head" plays.
The Bankers took the lead in their
first by scoring two runs. Wax went
out from Pelioat to first. McFall
walked, Karst forced him at second,
Oulliber to Pelloat. sWesterhouse
singled, Dane walked. Karst and
Westerhoues scored on Kallenberg's
first hit of the game. Roth ended
the agony by going out from Brennan
to Warning.
The locals went out in one, two,
three order. Olsen opened the sec
ond for the visitors with sharp
single to left field, stole second on
Neely's long single to left center.
Madison knew that something had to
be done II they intended to win the
game. Dendinger was called in from
the field, placed in the pitchers box,
and take it from US, he did it. After
Brenen's exit Dendinger struck out
Wax, McFall went out to right field,
Kart was out from pitcher to first.
Now for the locals second. The
entire team faced Kallenberg in this
inning before the bankers were able
to make the required three outs to
retire the si6e. Vautier applied the
h., a
walked, Warning safe on Wax S err
ror, Warning and Vautier pulled
what would have been bone-head
base running if it had not been sue
cessfui. They stole second and third
with Pelloat o. the bat. He singled
and they both scored, Pelloat going
to second on the throW-in. Malloy
struck cut but Dane dropped the
third strike and pulled bone by try
ing to catch Pelloat stealing Ch:r1,
and oh men were safe. Malloy
stole second. Little Vic" brought
both home with his first hit of the
day. He stole second and scored on
Brenen's single, Bremen going to
third OH Keeps single and scored
when Johnson went out from Wax
10 halSL. DenulnS6T euueu LAe
scoring by flying out to second base.
After WesteIhouse had gone out
in the third, Dane walked to second
on Ka!lenberg's second hit. They
worked the double steal and scored
on Roth's SINGLE The score was now
tied. Dendinger put on the brakes,
Olsen and Nicely going out by the
strike-out route. Neither side scor-
ed in the fourth. The Bankers took
the lead in the fifth when Dane
singled, scoring when Kallenberg hit
for the third time, this one being
one of the longest drives Of the sea-
son for a home run over the left
field wall. The Shipbuilders failed
to score in their fifth, but held the
Bankers in their half of the sixth
and ca ne back and won the game j.
the last half of the sixth. Stein
batting for Pelloat hit for a single,
taking second base on a passed ball.

The emblematic elephant has

of all the Athletics, and now
there Is a feeling Of hopefulness

The first day the sign of the
