NEW YORK. May 1S-Gam-
bling's grip on the major American
sports is being loosened by gen
eral pressure on the wrist.
War on the baseball gamblers is
working ur a good sized casualty
list and means are being heard
from several of the big race tracks
where the shots Of the stewards
are finding & mark.
Following a policy adopted dur
ing the winter when tales of the
fixed worlds series were being
passed around. the major league
club owners are enlisting the aid
OF city police and private detectives
against the professional grandstand
gamblers.
As a climax 10 the cleanup in
augurated during the winter when
two of the biggest jockeys of the
turf were ruled off. officials at the
Jamaica track take a post on
stool near The gates and ask the
notorious gamblers TO take little
ride back to the city.

"Baseballs campaign against the
gan bier has been productive of re
suits especially in Pittsburg where
a number of arrests have been
made" Pres't John Heydler of the
National league said.
The same steps are being taken
by the Boston Red SoX while, it is

same opinion is shared by the ia 4
