The Indians won Two out of three
in the series, giving them record
on the current road trip of five
games won and four lost. Lefty
Logan for the Tribe and Lefty Hook
EFT for the Kaws were the starting
pitchers yesterday and both were re-
lieved in the late INNINGS. Red
Wright was credited with the vic
tory and Hobo Carson was charged
with the defeat.
Blues Lead, to 0
The Blues piled up to lead
before the Hoosiers got started. In
the third stanza the Killeferites tai
lied three runs and then stepped out
in front with two markers in the
fifth. Kansas City tied it up in the
sixth and in the eighth the Tribe
crossed the plate twice to gain an
advantage Of z to 5. In the ninth
the Blue rallied and put over two
markers to send the see-saW con-
test into overtime.
In the tenth the Hoosiers stored
the ball game away. Bedore sim
gled, Sherlock walked and Riddle
beat out drag" bunt, filling the
bases. White batted for Wright
and flied to Kreevich, Bedore scor-
ing after the catch. Lee forced
Riddle at second, but in trying for
double play. Niemic, K. C. short
stop, threw low to first and Sher-
lock scored.
ErrOrless Streak Halted
The struggle required hours and
% minutes. Three errors were
chalked against the Indians, break
ing their "errorless game streak"
They went seven consecutive games
before miscue was made, and
Dudley Lee committed the first
boot" early in yesterdays tilt.
Frank Sigafoos was next to Rid
die in the Tribe attack with three
safeties, including one for two
bases. Vincent Sherlock smote a
triple and single.

That showed the influence Of a
racketeering gang. Boston ran down

For the first six months of 1894,
New York police rounded up enough
numbers runners to furnish almost
5000 court cases: 4,806 to be exact.
Most of the suspects we're fined. The
totaled fines collected amounted to
$123 ,095-a large increase over the
total-$37 ,533-collected in the same
period the previous year, but far
from enough to pay the cost Of

New Tactics Mapped.
Under an old law found on the

than 40 years, the New York prose-
cutors hope to have a bigger har-
vest in the next year, as police con-

Says Assistant District Attorney Bos-
ton:
1.-THE numbers racket is a problem
for law enforcement agencies, for
public sentiment has regarded this
form of gambling tolerantly, and
juries have refused to convict opera
tors proved guilty Of violating the
laws. But now the public is begin

writer and see the danger"

Dayton Stoddart, writing series of
articles on the numbers game, in the
magazine Today, states In the issue
on the newsstands this morning that
school children in some sections (of
New York; use their lunch money to
bet on numbers"
In the second installment of mil
lions and Murders the title of the
series, the writer outlines the huge
system of racketeering that branches
out from New York City into suburbs,
into other States, other cities. Harlem
and Little Italy furnish more players
than any other sections; yet Broad
way itself, the street of Sophistication,
is not too wise to fall for game built
on the old gamblers motto, Never
give a sucker an even break!"
Thousands of New Workers" writes
Stoddart, think the numbers racket
merely an innocent pastime, but they
are mistaken. According to reliable
estimates from police, activities of the
racket account for one murder of every
five in New York, or an average of a
murder a week. OF 218 murders last
year in the city, so were traced to the
numbers racket; others might come
under the same heading but most
police prefer to assign homicide causes
to various sources rather than admit
that a gigantic racket is beyond their
control"
Schultz Takes Over.
A colored gambler, according to this
account. was responsible for the rage
of the numbers game in Harlem. His
name is Casper Holstein; but Hol-
STEMS prosperity was the cause of his
downfall. He did not have the or
ganizing ability Of the Dutch Schultz
corporation which later took over Hol-
STEMS territory. ran Holstein out OF
the field and now collects on an aver
age of 100000 a day from residents

Assistant District Attorney Lyon

numbers game cases in New York, is
given credit for plan to cleanse the
city of "the racket" He is going

Gently. IA men were arrested as num-
bers runners. They were taken to
court and fined $1OO apiece. A lawyer,

them, paid the fines. Boston, the
prosecutor, noticed that not one of

Boston then had the IA men rounded

In order TO secure this expression OF the

use its authority to see that this purpose Is
ACCOMPLISHED. As The Times-News under
stands the matter, while the election will
not have legal status, it is the purpose OF
Council to conduct it under the rules and
regulations of regular city election.
If this election is to be worth anything
in pointing the way to Council as to the

1t looks as if federal relief is

might as we'll recognize things as

One of the problems that relief

themselves to be dictated to or
