PAGE EIGHT OPEN GAMBLING IN PHILADELPHIA PARK By DAVIS J. WALSH NEW YORK, June 6—If the good Kenesaw Mountain Landis can arrange to have an afternoon to himself, even at the sacrifice of his golf, he might do well to buy a quiet, unostentatious seat in the center field bleachers at the Philadelphia National League Park. He would see something of interest; in fact so interesting will be the activities in and around him that it is hardly possible—the judge will experience some difficulty in keeping his attention on the ball game. Nearly every afternoon for upwards of five years, a knot of gamblers has operated there during the home games of the Phillies. These men haven't the slightest interest in baseball as a sport; only in the matter of whether the batter reaches first base or falls to do so. They bet, openly, and sometimes loudly, on every play. This much the writer knows from personal observation. The rest is heresay, but it comes from a source so reliable as to be worthy of the judge's immediate and painstaking attention. Baseball pools, condemned by the judge, are an innocent parlor pastime compared with conditions said to exist in Philadelphia. The players for example are alleged by our informant to have more than a nodding acquaintance with the bleacher gamblers. They know them sufficiently well to pass the time of day in conversation, a highly reprehensible practice, if only for the sake of appearances. "The betting ring", declares the man who advanced the information, is second only to "downstairs" at Phillico or some other track. I often sit in the bleachers at Philadelphia and can swear to conditions. At a recent game with Pittsburgh I was only a few feet away from the gang. "There are usually about 50 men in this ring and they sit in a little knot in center field. They have big rolls of money in their hands all thru the game and hit." time of day in conversation, a highly reprehensible practice, if only for the sake of appearances. "The betting ring", declares the man who advanced the information, is second only to 'downstairs' at Pimlico or some other track.

"There are usually about 50 men in this ring and they sit in a little knot in center field. They have big rolls of money in their hands all thru the game and bet on every batter's chances of getting first. They call for takers loud enough to be heard all over the park. "Three policemen sitting against the bleacher wall on the playing field occasionally take a glance at the gamblers, but that is as far as they go." PAPYRUS WINS DERBY EPSOM DOWNS, England, June 6. Papyrus owned by B. Irish, one of the favorites in the betting, won the classic derby here today in the presence of about half a million persons. Pharoh ran second and Parth third. Pharoh is owned by Lord Derby, secretary of state for war in the British cabinet. COACHING SCHOOL SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 6—K. C. K.

The Blues won their first series of the league, taking the old game from the Greens due to consistent rolling of Holmes who shot 917, the best total of the night. The Lemons won three from the Whiter after a hard struggle. Bamesberger's 208 score was high single mark of the night. Tonight the Blacks and Reds meet in the feature match with the leader-ship of the league at stake and the Oranges will try to push the Browns a little lower.

A. city indoor league and saw the Kiwanis team defeat the Home Oil team to the tune of 29 to 9. The Union Oil team torpedited its first game to the Presbyterian church team because of not having enough players present to put a team in the field. However, a few outsiders were added to what the Union Oilers had present and with this makeup team, defeated the Presbyterian crowd. The Union Oil pitcher pitched a fine game and had he had his own men behind him would probably have one game to to his credit in the standing. This team is bound to be heard from later. The first game was a walkaway for the Kiwanis club and the Home Oil队 showed a lack of practice which will probably be overcome at the season progresses.

METHODISTS WIN FROM REALTY TEAM Hits and runs galore were registered on the score book last night at the Y. M. C. A. field in the game between the Methodist church and the Realtors team with the Methodist coming out on top to the tune of 20 to 16. Both pitchers were hit hard and many errors were made by the fielders in trying to handle the hot ones off the bat. Wagner of the Realbrs robbed Ashleigh of a three base hit when going at full speed he caught the ball off the top of the fence. Ben Help and Coleman Hickey umpired the game. The next scheduled game is to be played Thursday evening on the "Y" field between the Baptist and Schneider's Market teams. All fans invited. Methodist—AB. SH. R.

Harrison shot the high series of the week when he hit 962. In the other match the league leading blacks had a hard time taking the odd game from the Reds. President Varner with 235 rolled the best single score of the week. Tonight the Santa Monica Elks are scheduled to roll the local bills on the Anaheim Alleys.

"Don't be surprised if Gibbons knocks out Dempey in the early rounds" the fight promoters warned. "But if the fight goes 15 rounds Gibbons will win on points. He is in the best condition of his career." Collins said that advance rest sales aggregate $425,000. He said the undertaking was an assured success already regardless of whether the east responds. Close to 40 special trains from over the country have been signed up with many more to be arranged, the promoter stated. Tagging All The Bases Stealing up from the surreptitious rear, the Yanks beat the White Sox 7 to 6, with a three run rally in the tenth after the Sox had taken a two run lead in the first allf of the inning. The Reds gave three Brave pitchers the tough dry treatment and won easily 7 to 1. Roush obliged with a homer with two in the seventh. Rommel had nothing but the moisture on his noble brow and the Browns won as they pleased from the Athletics 10 to 3. Grium's gloved hand clutch of Neis' liner in the eighth resulted in a double play, unassisted, and allowed the Piraeus to carry the verdict over the Dodgers. The victory gave the Pirates undisputed possession of second place. The Red Sox won a catch-as-catch can from the Indians, to 6. Uhle and Edwards were hit hard and often. FULLERTON CENTER RAPS COUNTY FAIR At the regular meeting of the Fullerton Farm Center, a feature was the decision to have nothing to do with the county fair. Most of the members of the Center are citrus growers, and it is that best to concentrate on the citrus exhibits at Anaheim and San Bernardino, rather than "get mixed up with a bunch of prize chickens."

Both teams have been after this game for a long time and it is expected to be one of the most interesting affairs of the season. The Rotarians have had considerably more practice than the maidens have but that doesn't make any difference. The members of the business girls team are requested to come out and root for the girls. MURDERED OVER $2 SACRAMENTO, June 6—P. Alvarez, Mexican, is held by the local police today on a charge of murder following the fatal stabbing last night of an unidentified man, believed to be Hugh Lambert, a laborer. Alvarez is alleged to have killed the man over a $2 gambling debt. OWNERS MUST KEEP UP FIRE PATROLS SACRAMENTO, June 6—Governor Richardson today signed the senate bill, requiring owners of forest land to protect their property from forest fires by maintaining forest fire patrols. The fire fighting patrols were formerly maintained by the state. INTERESTING QUARTET Twin boys and two little girls saw the light of Anaheim today at the Retreat. Boys, weighing seven pounds three ounces each, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Robbins, of Los Angeles; Mr. and Mrs. H. Adams are parents of a 5½ pound daughter and a seven pound girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. E. Boege, also of Anaheim. HOME FOR VACATION Miss Stella Witmer, whose parents reside at 118 North West-st, has returned home from Scotia, Calif., for a vacation from her duties as teacher in the school there. Miss Witmer has just finished her fourth successful year. SOUGHT FOR CHECKS Fullerton police are on the lookout for a man who goes by the name of Phillip Faleido, and who, according to the Long Beach police, is wanted in that city as a bad check artist. He is reported to have accepted work at a Fullerton lumber yard. BLUNDER CORRECTED A golfer should not take practice swings in any place where they may disturb another player.
