VentiOn Hall tonight at 10
o'clock or as soon thereafter as pos
sible. And it is this matter of
starting time that will determine the
extent of the first block, to be rolled
here, and the second block, to be
bowled in Brooklyn on January 8.
1t is assured that there will be five
games between the ffve-man teams
of the squads in each city, Man
ager AL Gardner of Convention Hall
has stated. But whether the doubles
and singles will consist of five or
three games in each town will be
determined tonight just before the
duckpinners clash.
1t is also fairly certain that Wash
ington's five-man team will consist
of Walter Megaw, Howard Camp
bell AL Work. Jack Whelan and
Glenn Wolstenholme, but the order
Of the lineup will not be known
until just before the men take the
drives. Early this afternoon the
Brooklyn bunch was not at all sure
as to how it would organize. The
Spinella brothers, Phil and Barney;
Louis Pecorella, Mort Lindsey and
Joe Borto have been mentioned as
a likely crew to sport the colors of
the New Workers.
The doubles, due to follow the
five-man team match, may find
Campbell and Work Of Washington
battling with one Of the Spinellas
and some other of the Brooklyn
bunch yet to he selected. Wolsten-
holme undoubtedly will strive for
Washington in the singles and prob
ably against one of the Spinellas.

had many friends and alt implored
Hubert to show leniency. Hubert
could not be budged. He had made up

The incidents of 1877 and of 1926
are entirely different in many items,
although at the bottom of the events
in both cases was the desire to clean
base ball of the gambling element.
Crusade Against Gambling.
Base ball has started a campaign
in earnest against every kind of
cabling that has been known to have
been INDUCED in by base ball men
and those outside.
1t doesn't make any difference what
form of gambling it is, Commissioner
Lands is going to put his brogans on
the practice. When Rogers Hornsby
was gently admonished as to the fool
ishness of betting on the horses, he
said that another man in base ball
informed him that he had a perfect
right to bet on the races if he wished
to do so. That was not good advice
for Hornsby. 1t possibly strengthened
his belief in his right to do those
things which the owner Of the ST.
Louis Cardinals thought harmful to
other players Of the team.

Olympic Association, despite the with
drawal of the National Amateur Ath-
letic Federation, has been expressed
by William c. Prout, president of the

Asked for a statement on the action
of the federation he declared:
Americas participation in the
Olympic games at Amsterdam means
too much from a patriotic as we'll as
athletic point of view to permit it to
be made the foot ball of factional ath-
letic rows. The Olympic association
cannot become involved.

organizations which have built up
various lines of sport in this country
over a period of years will retain their
