GAMAGE MAKES
EAST SIDE N
SQUAD HUSTLE
New Leader Has Right Idea
on Question Of Grid
Discipline.
BY LARRY

Nobody eats at the pie counter
on the East Side High School
football squad. coached by G. H.
Carnage, former Illinois star. This
was much in evidence this week
as the pepful tutor of the young
hopefuls made careful preparation
for the opening game OF The sea-
son. booked Saturday with Shinn-
ston High School.
DR.. G. W. Spears, head coach OF
West Virginia University, has
nothing on carnage when II comes
to being q first class taskmaster
and an apostle Of discipline. He
Is absolute ruler on the East Side
squad. and II you are not sure
who is boss-just start something
and you won't be long getting the
answer. He issues commands and
they are obcyed or somebody
catches fast and furious call
down. This is Just the type OF a
coach that is needed at a high
school. and the boys are coming
around to the correct order Of
things in splendid spirit.
1t makes no difference to Coach
Carnage VINO you are or what you
think you are, II you are going to
play on the East Side High School
football team, you are going to
play according to his directions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Basebal:
pools in the major leagues levy
their greatest tool in New York.
Chicago and Philadelphia.
A million dollars week is spent
in New York alone by upward of
100000 players, according to esti.
mates by pool agents.
New York has probably $4,000
pools, all except 100 or so being
small private pools In offices and
factories. and semt-private enter.
prises operated In cigar stores.
There are four big pools.
Chicago spends about 100000 a
week in some so professional pools.
During the last world series ticket
sales in these pools totaled $780,.
900, police estimate
Philadelphia baseball gamblers
spend at least $4,000 a week, &C
cording 10 conservative estimates.
Sales in Boston weekly are placed
at $4,000, in Pittsburgh at $4,000.
Cleveland and Detroit are in the
same class, survey shows.
Operations are small in Wash.
ington, Cincinnati and st. Louis.
Horse.race betting has the call in
Washington and Cincinnati, while

Pool agents in, New York work
on 20 per cent commission. They
say they usually sell about $500
worth Of tickets week each. They
have regular routes through office
buildings and retail districts. EN-.
ployes act as agents in many fac.
tories.
In a survey of one 2Ostory office

found In operation, in addition to
those larger ones represented by
agents.
Most of the $4,000 pools-the
small fry-have tickets selling for

81 members who buy a chance on
one or two major league clubs,
This investment, 1t is estimated
totals $250,000.
Fewer players in the aggregate,
but with an investment Of three
times as much weekly, patronize the
four big pools.
Most exclusive Of these bip
New York pools is the Forty.second
Street Pool. Tickets sell for SIS a
week, the buyer blindly picking a
combination OF three teams out OF
the 81 teams in the National, Amer.

the American Association. Highest
combination score for the week
draws a $4,000 prize, lowest score
$4,000.
Another big pool, name unknown

the Fort Erie Pool, operated from
