FOIL BIG GAMBLING CLIQUE
Secretary Bobby Quinn Uses Move
Plan to Break Up Noisy Crowd
In Wing of Grandstand.

Bobby Quinn. secretary of the st.
Louis Browns, found a way to break
up 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 satisfae-
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
INSTRUCTED 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
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.

Saint Anthony Juniors
to Play Double Header

The next week end will be a busy
one for the members of the Saint Jun
tors baseball team, for on Saturday
they will travel to South Amboy
whera they will cross bats with the
Y. M. O. A. q Junior nine representing
that place. The Saints have register
ed two victories over this crew but
since the management of the "Y" nine
requested more chance, his wish
has been complied with.
Brownmtller who is particularly eff
fective against the South Amboy team
will twirl them over for the Saints and
Gominger will do the finging for the
"Y" team.
On Sunday afternoon on the Rari-
tan Copper Works diamond, the
Saints will endeavor to even matters
with the Boy Scouts, who also hail
from South.
In previous meetings, the Scouts
have shown their superiority in two
out of three games. but all three of
the games were full Of fight from the
beginning to the end.
Young will do the pitching for the
Saint team, and Judging from the
brand of ball, he has been ffinging of
late. the chances of the Scouts are
quite shaking up in the infield will do
away with a weakness that las been
the cause of a few of the close defeats
handed to the Saints.
Silver will be behind the plate for
the Saints, and judging from his per-
formances of late, the few opponents
allowed to reach first base, will surely
be nipped trying to pilifer the key
stone, sack. Silver's ability to find the
batter's weakness, has been a big help
to Young, this season.
Stanton of Kennedy will fling them
over for the Scouts and keenan,, will
do the receiving. Both of these
pitchers have been having a good sea-
son. and Keenan, is a comer in the re-
ceiving department. A. Lyons will
