Here is one on Adolph Mach,
the census taker: While doing the
stunt be came to Il certain farm
home and was rendered rather
frigid reception. The owner was
not inclined to let him enter the
house but said that they fight il
out on the porch, but the census
m IN put, on a full official front and
retorted that inasmuch as it will
take some time, so the warmth
of the interior would be more sa-
tisfactory. The man about to lie
"wrote up" finally but reluctantly
consented, and being informed
that the intruder was taking a
government census, put him off
saying that he did not need any;
that he has enough to suit him,
and that he does not read much
anyway. You see during all OF
this time be mistook Adolph for

Cleyelandt to Bar Betting
 On Games

Cleveland, March 16.-Merit brings It's
 own, ,reward-even in the world of sport.
 H. Clay Folger, for many years chief
 of the private police at the Cleveland
 American League League Ball Park, Is
 going to ass jst Ban Johnson to keep the
 gamblers out of the ball parks this sum-
 mer, and ere long he may have the title
 of Chief of Police of the American
 League"
 Foger is a sworn enemy of gambling
 at baseball games With force of less
 than thirty men, he has almost entirely
 eliminated the gambling evil at the Cleveland ball yard, and when the busi-
 ness of chasing the gamesters became sIack he turned his attention to mug zing the users of profane language. Ban
 Johnson says the Cleveland ball park Is
 the cleanest in the league with regard to gambling and profanity.
 At the recent Chicago meeting, after peace was declared between Johnson and the Frazee-Ruppert-C contingent, Big Ban made little talk on prospects for the coming season. Among other things he fired a broadside into the gam glers. He asked the cooperation of all the magnates, and he got it Juick with permission to handle the menace in any way he saw fit to get results. Ban ad- mitted the gambling evil would probably be worse this year than in the past, but he advocated keeping after it.
 Johnson has had two conferences with Folger He had the Cleveland man ex- plain his system. Folger declared there was nothing mysterious about it. He told the American League executive his crew
 gets line op general gamblers, then watches them closely when they Visit the ball yard. He says the fact that the gamblers were watched and knew they were watched had the desired erect in Cleveland. Less than dozen arrests for gambling have been made by Foglers s men in Cleveland during the past ten years.
 F'olger suggests the liberal use of private detectives in each city to get line on baseball gamblers who opera,v where the tickers hold forth. When the names and identity have been secured he advises scmo plain clothes men be sta- toned near them at the games, and ar rests rromptiy made the first offense. Tolger may visit all the American League parks to install his system. An American League parks have private po- lice departments, augmented by city po-
 lice on big days.

By JAMES J. coRBETT

YN1VERYBODY seems to be en-
 1 gagged in the springtime oe- ~ cupation of doping the win ners," and so am making it nan imous with this article giving my views on the pennant races.
 The belief exists that the Amer ican League contest sinners down to a stretch duel between theNew York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians. The acquisition of Babe Ruth by the Yankees and the ad- dition of few new pitchers of seeming ability by the Indians per haps is the cause for the decisions.
 Strangely enough, no one seems to give the White Sox real look in" It is felt that the team will not play with the same spirit as exhibited in 1919, owing to certain internal dissensions and the known i'll feeling between Charles Comis- key and some of his stars. Fur thermore, it is felt that the two men who carried the brunt Of the White Sox pitching burden in 1919 cannot deliver in 1920 in the same spectacular fashion.
 Eddie Cicotte is nearing 40. He made a remarkable record last sea- son. But before the flag end he shoed the strain and many feel that this spells the beginning of the end Claud Williams, the sonuthpaw, was another spectacular 1919 per former, but it is more than reason z able to assume that Williams will not finish anywhere near to the position he occupied in 1919.
 With the two "aces" of the White Sox pitching staff uncertain quan- titles, and with no man ready. to take up the burden beyond midget Dick Keer, the flinging outlook for the white-hosed warriors certainly is not extremely promising. And It it's true that pitching Is 60, to 15 per cent of a teams strength, it means that the Sox will be rather weak as far as pennant pros pect is concerned.
 The Athletics, Senators, the Browns and the Tigers have shown nothing that would indicate that they will be dangerous pennant contenders Nor have the Red Sox. And that brings it back to the h. dians and Yankees again.
 Ruths addition has given the Yankees greatly enhanced attack ing powers. If Ruth "homeruns" anywhere near to his 1919 mark,
