LANDIS WANTS BETTING
ON BASEBALL A FELONY

BOSTON, Feb. 24.-The arm of. the
law should be long enough to permit
ii to reach to the bleachers and stands
at baseball parks and call to account
all who bet on games, in the opinion
of Judge X. NJ. Lands, baseball 8
supreme arbiter.
Judge Lands, in letter received
today by Representative Hugh j.
Lacey, of Holyoke, commenting on the
latter's bill in the legislature to
penalize players or others participat-
ing in the throwing of games, said he
thought the offense should be a felony.
with a penalty of from two to five
years imprisonment
Lacey's bill provides a years prison
sentence or a $500 fine, or both. The
provisions OF the law should extend
to all bettors, large and small" Judge
lands said. 'Tf there is no betting
there will be no bribing OF players"
he added.

HOREMANS COMES
FOR SIX CONTESTS
Belgian Cue WieIder Will Be
Seen at Sherman's
Twice Daily.

On the heels of the appearance here
last week OF Willie Hoppe. the most
prominent Sntagonizer of that gentle
man for the worlds billiard title, Mr..
Edouard Horemans begins an exhibit
ton series at Shermans this after
noon. Horemans comes here from
Baltimore, where he has been astound-
ing audiences all this week with long
strings, which were accomplished by
clever use of the masse and rail nurse.
Travelling with Mr.. Horemans is
Thomas Gallagher. of New York city,
who has been the Belgian's playing
partner during many of his recent
exhibitions.
No challenger of Willie Hoppe in
recent years has brought so much
interest to the game as has M'sieur
Horemans. He holds the champion
ship of Europe and claims to be ready
to meet Hoppe at any time or place
the champion mentions. However. this
claim has not been substantiated by
the customary covering of a forfeit
of $1,000 which Hoppe has had posted
in Chicago for several weeks. Con-
sequently. word comes from Chicago
today that Hopes manager has
withdrawn the money until time
when Horemans can be brought to
terms.
The exhibitions at Sherman's will
be held at 3 and 8 o'clock today, to-
morrow and Saturday. George Lewis
has ercted special stands from which
the spectators will be able to witness
the delicate work of the allied repre-
sentative. Enthusiastic audiences are
expected to turn out to see the Bel
gian perform.

are. They never missed a meeting of
the general banquet committee. They
were awake to all suggestions and
then went out and made good.
Oh, yes, there'll be a whole lot more
fans there. from Commissioner J. Thil-
