four unearned runs and the Chicago
team two. After that both clubs
settled down and played tight ball.
Buffinton pitched well in the pinch
and cut short several rallies. The
batting of Wood and Clements was
the feature of the game. Ed. Dele
hanty, Philadelphia infieIder. played
his first game for that club, and
batted last in the lineup. He ac-
cepted nine of eleven chances, but
failed to show any marked ability at

BILL VEECK DECLARES
WAR AGAINST GAMBLERS

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.--William l..
Veeck, president OF the Cubs. has
declared war on the baseball
gambler.
The Bruin leader announced to
day he is drafting a bill which he
will submit to the Illinois Iegisla-
ture. 1t is designed to curb gam.
bling in baseball parks, providing a
prison sentence for anyone convict
ed OF betting on professional
game.
The proposed law is patterned
after the New York statute, at
present the only State i'm the Union
with such legislation.
President Veeck said the idea
was discussed at a meeting of Ma
tional League presidents during the
recent jubilee celebration.

FOOr Leach doeSnC Know yet
how Driscoll did it. Jem almost
flattened the smeller of Mr.. Cross,
then held his head still while
Leach got ready to shoot, and as
he shot Jem moved maybe a foot
this way or a foot that way.
Cross sprained his back, threw out
his shoulder, wrenched his side,
turned his ankle and perspired
profusely and in the ten rounds
managed to touch Jem once and
that was when they shook hands.
At one time during the fight,
after Cross has missed forty-five
swings, he thought footwork might
help, so he danced up and down
before Jem like a jumping jack
without rhyme or reason. There
was nothing he hadn't tried, so he
figured he might do that and
Driscoll MIGHT run into him.
DriscOll Showed AttelI Up.
DRISCOLL made such a hit in
his few bouts here that Abe
- Attell, then the featherweight
champ, decided to give Jem a les
son, and they were matched to
fight at the National Sporting
Club on Twenty-fourth street.
It was a very pretty fight be-
tween boys who knew their BUSH
ness. There was no toe dancing,
no show-off stuff, but real fight
ing, with both using their heads
as well as their hands.
For four or five rounds it was
rather. close. Attell then found a
way, he thought, to shove in his
left. He had landed five or six
times without return, but he did
little damage and wanted to bend
over right that would cause
damage.
Driscoll backed away as Abe
led with his left again and finally
found himself in his own corner.
This was EXACTLY where Attell
wanted him and, gently Shaping
a left over as a stall, he let fly
with his right, expecting to knock
Jem clear across the Atlantic.
He let fly, but Driscoll had de-
parted and Abe was lying flat on
his face in the rosin. 1t was the
prettiest bit of sidestepping one
could want to see.
The crowd roared with delight
at the clever Driscoll, who was as
unconcerned as could be in the
center of the ring. 1t was such
shock to Attell that he didn't
seem to be himself for the rest Of
