Ban Johnson VII Stamp out
Gambling at American Contests
BY FRED TuReYv,LLe.


Ban johnson Is intent on stamping
out gambling in the American League
this season. 1t matters not whether It
be players or spectators johnson has
; declared war and an army Of detec.
tives will be In the, employ OF the
league.
1t is more than likely that Clay.Fol.
ger, for IA years chief of police and
land, will be in charge OF the small
army OF detectives who will be present
at every ball game and besides will
keep a watch on any players under
suspicion.
Folger has practically run, the gamb-
lers out Of the Cleveland stands. He
put the race-track toutsi and pick
pockets out Of business in Cleveland.
I'VE generally have five or six men
in the stands every afternoon" said
Folger. "If they hear bets being made
they quietly inform the gambler that
he is requested to leave the park. His
money is refunded at the gate"
That same system is the one Folger
would employ in cleaning out the rest
Of the parks. He would employ only
local detectives, though.
Folger has been approached on the
subject, but no definite agreement has
been reached. He loves the game and
would like to see It purged of all
gambling. For that reason he probably
will accept the responsibility. 1t is
big order. but Folger should be big
enough for the task.
Have you ever watched the play.
erS? FOlCer was asked
"oh, yes, we've watched player,
same as the SPECTATORS he said, "bu.
in IA years I've never discovered a
bit of crookedness in an ymember Of
Cleveland team"
That is big boost for the game In
face OF all that has been said about
gambling the past winter.
Folger is inclined to blame the pro.

Some Local Sport Chatter

There was considerable talk about
town last night when it was announced
yesterday afternoon in The West Vir-
ginian that the West Virginia Yves.
leyan football game scheduled for this
city late next September had finally
been approved by the athletic COM
mittee at the university after long
wrangle over the matter by ~ vote.
General satisfaction is expressed that
the game is to be staged here. and
while It Is the opening contest OF the
season It will no doubt be an interest
ing one and will attract a great crowd.
With this very important contest COM
ing early in the season both teams
will endeavor TO make an extra effort
during the preseason training period
to get into first class shape for the
contest It Is far too early to make
any prediction as to the outcome of
the sattle, but from this long. distance
it looks as II West Virginia should be
a favorite.
