ATTEMP TING TO
 STOP GAMBLING
 ON BALL GAMES

Chicago, April 19 - Gambling on baseball games will be curtailed this season, according to officials or the Chicago National league baseball club, who have started a movement against the practice. It is claimed that numerous betS are made on the strength of who the opposing pitch CTS are to be. This year, Manager Fred Mitchell, declared he will not announce his pitcher until the tune his batting order is handed to the umpire, just before the game
 Manager Mitchell, whose home is in Boston declared he knows of num- erous instances in which the wagers were placed after the pitchers had been selected. He said he also knows of a certain hotel waiter who was paid s5 day by a gambler for obtaining from the visiting manager the name of the pitcher who was to l perform for the visiting club that day.
 i Most of the betting is done in the 1 pool rooms downtown" said MT. i Mitchell, "and I believe if the pro- prietors of these places do not know who is going to pitch they will not l be so keen to accept wagers- By with holding the name of the pitcher, [
 believe much of the gambling will
 stop.
 elf we desire to keep the sport pure anbling must be eraIiicated- The
 Chicago club is to do all it possibly can to stop it President William
 Veeck always has taken steps to keep it out of the ball park in Chi cago, and am going to attempt to
 keep the men in the pool rooms from betting by giving out the pitcher at the last moment.
 tsGanbIfng is not to creep into the game and ruin it for the future fans land players if I can help it." Mitchell
 continued, ttand if there is the least
 suspicion of it on my team an in'
 vestigation will be made and the man or men who are apprehended will
 not stay a rninute.''

Matty Says Carton
 Looks Like Conner

Roy Carton. a boyish-looking south spaw pitcher, who served with the Tulsa, Okla. club in the Western As sociation, and who now is on the ros- ter of the Giants, looks very promis- ing. Christy Mathewson says Carton has more stuff now than Ed Gerner had when he joined the Reds and was pronounced by Matty one of the best looking young pitchers he ever had seen. It is likely that Carton, who is only q years old, will be sent to a club in the Internat tional League or the American Association for a year or So. as he seems to lack only ex- perience.
