"Our Leading MduStry'

COME folks think of Reno as the mecca for the

of the so-called modern Sodom and Gomorrah.
But here is story that tells you gambling is the
leading industry of Reno and those who match their
dollars against the whirl of a wheel make it a bust
ness instead of diversion.
Slot machines in drug stores, grocery stores, hotel
hobbies and restaurants roulette wheels in sotdrnk
parlors base ball pools and horse racing wagers; big
houses everywhere, running three shifts day, and
with every known game of chance-such is Reno's
leading industry"

THE old-timers may scotland plenty Of them
J do it, but because Lady Luck has discarded
her six-shooter and cayuse is no indication
that she is ready to take seat on the mourn
ers' bench at church revival In Reno, at
least there are a great many people who look
on the community as about the minus-zero
exhibit Of present-day civilization. This be-
lief. however, is not given wide circulation
because Reno is run by a group that regards
gambling, divorce and related vice as a pure
business proposition
Gambling is not new to this State, where
memories are fresh Of big games in Tonopah,
Goldfield and Ely and has been in vogue since
the prospectors' wild stories attracted men and
women to the wide open spaces. SO Nevada,
gambling conscious looked about for means OF
drawing more men and women to the State.
Reno, with its 90-day residence divorce law,
had attracted plenty Of wealthy men and
women whose matrimonial boats had been
wrecked, but when Arkansas and Idaho passed
q similar law, Nevada faced competition that
might be dangerous. The Legislature promptly
passed a law that became effective May !
permitting divorce after a 42-day residence.

Law would pull the moneyed ones, so why not
improve the business by bringing gambling

HAVANA AFTER
 BILLIARD BOUT

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-One of the matches for the worlds fancy shot billiard championship is virtually certain to be played in Havana Isi- dor Ribas of Spain, European fan cy shot champion and challenger of the crown now held by Charles c. Peterson of St. Louis, now is in Chicago and he has just been notified that A. H. Abreu, Cuban consul in St. Louis, is in Havana and hopes to complete arrange ments for this match.
 Ribas, who speaks little English, has appointed Abreu to represent him in all negotiations pertaining to the championship. J. Alvarez, the Spanish consul in St. Louis, also is assisting Ribas.
 The tentative agreement calls for the principals to meet in a test, best three out of five match es, for the worlds fancy shot crown. Each player will be permit ted to select fifty shots, and no player will be allowed more than four tries on each shot The player making all the shots in the least number of trials will be declared the winner.
 The first match most likely will be played in St. Louis, the second in New York and the third in Ha- vana, the schedule being arranged in this manner so that Ribas will have an opportunity to play before a Latin following. In case fourth and fifth matches are necessary the cities will be chosen from Chi cago, Philadelphia, San Francis co and Los Angeles.

The eastern polo season not only has missed Eric Pedley and Elmer Goeske, the two outstanding Cali fornia players, but also the hard riding Herbert w. (Rube) Williams, a sensation during the internation- al tests last summer.
 Williams met with an injury early this season and has played very little.
 Before the depression stepped in to take a wallop at the idea, the United States Polo association had entertained the plan of starting an east west polo series this year.
 The 193O international tests fur nished the impetus with Pedley Boeseke, Williams and Cecil Smith, all from the wide open spaces, a

Eric Pedley's absence from the International polo fields this sum- 1ner gave the best minds of the Palloping game a chance to look yer 5he available material for the lIo. l position in case the CalifOr- nian is not on hand when the British, business permitting, chal- lsnge again for the cup in 1883.

Mighty Mallet Atom.
 Young George Herbert (Petey) Bostwick, the mighty atom" of the polo set on Long Island, has been riding mostly at No 2, in front of Tommy Hitchcock, his cousin, but has all the qualifica- tions of an excellent No. 1.
 "Petey' was contender for this position on the Big Four" for a time last season. This year he has played a much improved game, due to the right kind of coaching and experience.
 Bostwick has nerve and hits a long ball for his size. His horse manship is superb. The youngster has a reputation as steeplechase jockey and has piloted home many a winner over the jumps. He is barely a feather on pony and consequently gets the most out of his mounts.
 BoStWick has been playing at six goals this season, but likely will be boosted to seven. In another year or two, at the pace he is develop ing, he may become an interna- tional star.

SCHOOL FARE SALES
HIT ANOTHER SNAG
Requirement of Teachers
Signature Termed "Non-
sense" by Officials.

Chsracterizing the procedure as mon
sense" school officials stated yesterday
that after the first week they would re-
fuse to comply with request by the
Public Utilities Commission that teach
ers be instructed to sign all 3-cent fare
ticket books to be purchased by school
children.
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent CT schools, said that the
teachers would be required TO sign the
ticket books during the first week of the
low fare use simply to prevent further
delay In getting the Scent fare going.
Demand Made Friday.
After that, he declared, such non
sense" will not be tolerated.
According to Mr. Kramer, the Public
Utilities Commission notified the school
officers late Friday, after a complete
statement of the Scent fare admins
tration had been sent out to the school
field officers, that In addition to requir-
ing teachers to sign every single apph-
cation for books of tickets, its regula-
tions would demand that the teachers
also afix their signatures to the ticket
books themselves. This double sigma
ture would be required for every fare
book transaction whether the tickets
are bought in 10-ticket books or 40
ticket books.
Incensed over what he considered a
waste of time and unnecessary red tape,
Mr.. Kramer telephoned the Utilities
Commission on receipt Of that latest
requirement, asking for explanations.
Earl v. Fisher, executive secretary for
the commission, subsequently visited
the school Offices in the Franklin Ad-
ministration, where he defended the
lengthy procedure. Mr.. Kramer asked
why the presentation Of countersigned
identification cards, which he said the

b. the Associated Press.
HAVANA, March with more than
two score bombings in the last fort-
night, the Cuban government is direct
ing every effort to stamp out these oc-
currenceS.
Ranging from small firecracker affairs
called by the Cubans 'petardos," because
Of their inedectiVeness, to large bombs
capable Of doing considerable damage,
the explosions, which punctuate night
hours almost as regularly as a clock,
have the National Police System-famed
for its efhciency-hot after the culprits
Several persons have been severely
injured and the estimated property
damage has run into many thousands
of dollars.
Dozens of arrests have been made, but
the police thus far apparently have not
been able to get at the bottom of the
bombing ring.
After long series of minor bombings
in theaters and night clubs the placers
Of internal machines undertook more
serious program
The Union Club, headed by President
Machado, was blasted, and shortly after
ward the main aqueduct of Havana was
damaged. Then came a succession Of
harmless explosions occurring principally
at street intersections. The bombers
finally invaded the presidential palace,
attempting to asSassinate president
Machado with a dynamite filled pipe.
In the past two days there have been
IL bombings in Havana
Still another bombing occurred today.
An explosive which was set OF in the
rear of the home of Senator Wilfredo
Fernandez. Reina and EScobar streets,
practically wrecked the building.
Senator Fernandez is prominent
Liberal and strong supporter Of Presi-
dent Machado.
