BITERS BITTEN IN AN
ALLEGED BETTING COUP
False Report Of Injuries to Yanks
Spreads, but Indians
Cop Game.

NEW YORK, Sept. l0.-If, as re-
ported, a clique OF gamblers really did
attempt to make a killing" through
the medium Of yesterdays game be-
tween the Clevelands and Yankees,
the pIotters failed most slgnally. Ac-
cording to the details OF the scheme.
false reports were spread to the ef-
feet that Meusel and Pratt had been
killed and Ruth terribly injured in an
automobile accident. The object Of
this report was to stimulate betting
on the Indians, and the news" was
sent broadcast.
Evidently the schemers must have
set down the Yankees as sure win
nears of yesterdays game. for 1t is al
legged that the "sure thing" players
received juicy odds, and that thou
sands OF dollars were placed on
Cleveland by dupes who were misled
by the report of injury to the Yank-
ees.
or course, the story of disaster to
Ruth and his mates was made out OF
whole cloth. and then the Clevelands.

team, including Ruth. Meusel and
Pratt, drubbed the New Workers by
A to 2. Therefore. II the gamblers
laid much money on the Yankees to
win, even though they got heavy
odds. they lost their cash.

for Val Picinich in this company.

Running.

field in the national amateur golf
championship tourney at the En-
gineers Club here cut to the four

travelling far to see.
Evans was picked to win over
Allis. Rain was falling early this
morning and the prospects for a good
day were poor.

be made clear by the following
scientific answer TO this ques-
ton, as supplied by nerve sPe-
cialists at local hospitals:
There arises a tremendous con-
cept Of anticipation which is
fulfilled when the homer Is
made; the sympathetic nervous
system overstimulates the en-
drocine substances; the supra
renal gland affects the insolu-
BILE glycogen so as to change 1t
to glucose; the thyroid gland
affects the body's proteid meta
bolism SO as to supply new pro-
teid substances for those which
are broken down, and the crowd,
displaying mass emotional in
stability, acting along the IA
miliar lines of mob psychology,
brings about a general demon
stration in which individual
participation is wholly invol-
untary. When Babe misses the
ball, however, the visual CEN
ters register the fact that he is
making ready for another at
