KETV YORK. Nov. 12. (Special.)
Baaeball magnates and others who are
Interested In the success of the great
national game simply for the game's
sake are concerning themselves with
measures to stamp out the betting
evil, which has grown to far greater
proportions than most fans realize.
There is no 3ietiric for It, and only
whole-hearted co-operation from
press and public In resisting the sin
ister influences that are threatening
the future of the game will avail to
keep baseball on the high plane on
which its popularity is based.
Large sums of money are being bet
each season, no; only on certain
teams to win' the pennant, but also
on them to defeat otner teams in an
Important feries. One gambler well
known for his dealings in Wall street
once wagered JiO.OUO on the New
York Giants in each game of a crucial
series with the Chicago Cubs. In the
summer of 1S17 another wealthy New
. York gambler hud more than J100.000
bet on the Giants to win the cham
pionship. Two or three other men are
known to have backed the Giants to
win the pennant in different seasons
to the extent of J50.000.
II Ir llrta Placed.
In a certain New York billiard room
there was once lu-lil more than $200.
000 in bets which had been placed by
well-known characters upon the
Giants to defeat Chicago for the pen
nant, l'art of this sum wus covered
by funds sent from Chicago. During
one world's scries the manager of a
Broadway hotel held more than $100.
000 in beta on the outcome of each
game of the series.
Everybody is familiar with the story
of the 1 91 y world's aerie?, but few
know that money was bet liy the
handful in both New York ami Chi
cago and yet never was bet publicly.
One of the moat daring and unscrupu
lous operators in New York City wa
gered thousands of dollars upon the
games and then had certain men
watched, so fearful was he that he
would not net a run for his money.
Such bets as these, representing the
operations of nun who let nothing
stand in their wuy to win, are more
danneioUH to baseball than casual
wagers placed now and then by men
who get no zest out of any sport un
less they have a bet dawn.
Ilrlliery Id (onxidered.
The plunger who has from $50,000
upward on a ball club will hesitate at
nothing to t.ave his money If he
thinks he Is In danger of losing it.
One layer of odils considered an at
tempt to plnee half the players of a
certain team on his payroll In order
to insure his winning, but was dis
suaded by his friends from trying
anything of the kind. Only the fear
of exposure would deter such a man
from tempting players with his gold
to throw ball games.
Baseball pools are second only to
the large gamblers as a menace to
baseball. Companies In I'ennsylvania.
which have been operating pools for
years, have made huge profits for
their promoters. No outsider knows
actually how much money is paid In
to them, nor what the honest divi
dends should be. As in the game of
policy, backers of the pools make
payments to suit themselves and give
no receipts showing the amount of
money collected. A customer might
be entitled to $100 nnd yet only re
ceive $10. the remainder being pock-
eicu me promoters.
l'rlvate I'ooln Operate.
then there are the private pools
operated among employes In big
firms, usually by one of their number.
If it Is a mutual pool to which there
are certain regular subscribers, the
members know the amount paid in;
but if the pool Is open to everybody,
the operator gets all that he can and
then pays out only what he wishes to
pay.
Newspapers which make a practice
of printing total runs made during the
week by the various teams are play
ing right into the hands of the base
ball pool sharks, who have fleeced the
people almost as badly as policy men
ever did.
Those who are devoting their best
thought to means to eradicate the bet
ting evil from baseball appeal to all
lovers of clean sport to discourage
betting on ball games In every form
Only in this way can the menace be
curbed.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII HAS
PUNTER WITH TNT BOOT
Mortimer Lydgate, 220-pound Guard, Punts Full 67 Yards Player to
Be Protege of Gil more Dobie Next Year.
BY MIKE JAY.
H'
ONOLULU, T. H.. Nov. 1. (Spe
cial.) The University of Ha
waii football team. whose
showing under the direction of Coach
Otto Klum. ex-Oregon Aggie player,
has been something of a disappoint
ment to the fans, has won Its first
game. Last Saturday the varsity men
took the measure of the National
Guard of Hawaii by a score of 89 to 7.
In the previous game tho varsity
played a scoreless draw with the
United. States Marines and in the
first game of the season lost to the
Honolulu Athletic club. ( to t.
So while the first game was a fluke
loss, the second a little better, the
third has been best of all, and the
fans are beginning to brighten up and
hope that perhaps Hawaii can hold
the University of Oregon here on
Christmas day after all.
The showing of the University of
Hawaii against the National Guard
team was a great Improvement. They
had their ends working in fine shape,
with the result that end runs by the
Guard usually finished before getting
started.
Overhead Game V'sed.
The varsity used the overhead game.
The Guards outweighed the scohirs
about ten pounds to the man. The
passing was good and running back
of punts snappy. The one weakness
of the varsity team is the lack of
interference for the runner. The in
terference was all right in formation
play, but in broken field running the
Interference runners waited to be
dumped.
A feature of the game was the
punting of Mortimer Lydgate of the
varsity. This powerful 220-pound
guard promises to be one of the
greatest punters in history, for he
goes to Cornell next year, where he
will come under the wise eye of old
Gilmore Dobie of Washington uni
versity fame. Lydgate stood 15 yards
behind his own goal, after the varsity
had Just held the Guards for four
downs on the one-yard line, and
booted the ball a full 67 yards down
the field, high enough at the same
time to permit his ends to get down
there and nail the receiver of the
punt right in his tracks.
o Wind to Help Rail.
The marvelous thing about It was
that there was not the slightest wind
to help It along. Lydgate followed
soon after with a 60-yard punt and.
when It is remembered that his punts
last year, his first at punting, aver
aged 55 yards, it can readily be seen
that Oregon has somthlng to look out
for.
Another man that Oregon must
watch Is Duvel. the regular varsity
left guard. Duvel is great at spilling
Interference and breaking up plays.

the camera men o "let him alone" on
proposition, so there should bo noth
ing to prevent this1 open club from
being a success.
Where the Grand American will bej
run Is of interest to all shooters. It
is said that western shooters will not
come east, that eastern shooters will
not go west, and for that reason Chi
cago has gotten the shoot more times
than any other city. Chicago is pos
sibly the most centrally located place
for the shoot.'
However, quite a number of shoot
ers at Chicago seemed to think that
if the shoot was held in Denver or
some far western joint one year, in
Chicago or vicinity the next, and New
York or some eastern city the next,
that It would be the best thLng for
the shooting game. This seems like a
good suggestion. The taking of the
shoot to various sections would do
much to build up the sport.
KEED GH1D SEASON SUCCESS
Six Intramural Games Played, 50
Men Reporting Dally.
Reed college closed one of Its most
successful football seasons last week.
Although no Intercollegiate games
were scheduled six Intramural games
were played. Upwards of 50 men re
ported dally for ciass practice. The
games were made mors interesting oy
ward passes. In the game against
the Guards he pulled off several
spectacular catches. Two of them were
for touchdowns.
The Guards' only score came after
the varsity held them for three downs
on the ten-yard limit. Then they
worked a short forward pass on the
fourth down.
Alexander at Center.
The . varsity played Alexander at
center, Oliviera at right tackle. Rutt
man at reft tackle. Rydgate at right
guard. Duvel at left guard. Thompson
at right end. C. Searle ar. left end.
"Pump" Searle at right half, Lambert
at left half, Blaisdeii t quarter and
Conant at full.
Dsplte th fact that the varsity this
year has better material from which
to select a team, the eleven is not
showing as well as the one last sea
son. Coach Klum seems worried and
the Impression prevails that he is
working the team too hard for this
climate. However, there is no kick
from the boys on the team. The squad
is behind him solidly but they feel
there Is a Jinx of .some kind out of
which they are slowly emerging.
The varsity now faces Its hardest
games and if it can come out on top
the Oregon eleven would better
watch out. If the local varsity is
badly defeated in the next few weeks
then Oregon is sure to win. In that
case Hawaii will pin its hopes to the
team that plays the Webfooters New
Year's day.
LeadlnR Team Favored.
It has not been definitely decided
whether the best team in the senior
league will play Oregon on New
Year's day or whether an all-Hawaiian
team will be selected at the close of
the season early In December and
groomed for the remainder of the
month. The majority of players and
interested folks seem to think the
best plan Is to have the visitors play
the leading team in the senior divi
sion. The honors will probably lie,
if it's decided that way, between the
Navy, Town Team and Outriggers.
The Navy has a strong team and so
has the Town Team. Outrigger Canoe
club is the dark horse.
No matter who plays Oregon on
New Year s day, the Webfooters will
know they have played, regardless of
what kind of a game 'a put up against
them on Christmas day by the varsity.
The second game will probably be the
better. Even if the Oregon team gets
here a week before Christmas the boys
will not really have enough time fully
to get their land legs. By the end of
the second week, however, they will
be going right. That, at least, was
the case with the University of
Nevada, which visited here last year.
In the first game the players were
lifeless, but in the second they had !
more pep than a Jackrabbit racinir I
with a bull pup.
Oakland Veteran Claims World
Record After Swiping Six
Bases During Game.
BY MALCOLM MacLEAN.
CHICAGO. Nov. 12. (Special.)
Brick Devereaux was a great base
stealer in the Coast league not so
many years ago, although he no long
er was a young man, speaking of
baseball ages.
This story on Devereaux was told
me by Del Howard, long time a man
age; and part owner of clubs in that
organization. Devereaux was play
ing with Oakland, which had San
Francisco as Its rival on this particu
lar day.
Brick swiped six bases during the
battle, and promptly claimed a world
record. "Not so bad for an old man,
ehr he chuckled.
Danny Long sitting on the Seals'
tench, shouted over: "Record! Where
to you get that stuff? While I was
with the Baltimore Orioles I stole
seven bases myselfr one game. Read
it up."
The Oakland veteran didn't reply
to this biting sally, but his face grew
as red as a beet.
Next day, when he came up for the
first time, Devereaux hit an easy
grounder to short and was out at
lirst by 20 feet. Instead of stopping
he turned first at full sped, dashed
tor the .Seal bench and slid feet fore
most Into the visitors' pile of bats,
scattering them in all directions and
throwing dust and cinders in Long's
face.
Brick rose and carefully brushed
off his uniform.
"Well, I'm the best base-stealer in
Alameda county, anyway, Danny." he
eaid. Which was his revenge.
"I was playing wltn the Chicago
Cubs back in 1903," said Davey Jones,
one-time Tiger star..' who still battles
a bit for the Detroit Athletic club's
team. "We were facing the Boston
Beans in a certain series and the1 lat
ter had, a player named Dick Cooley.
who wasn't any too fond of running.
"He hi', a terrific liner toward cen
ter field, which I speared with one
hand. It so happened that few of the
players could see me catch it, and i
kept on for the clubhouse as if chas
ing the grounder.
"Joe Cantillon, now manager of
Minneapolis, was umpiring, and he
saw in a flash the job I was trying
to put over on Cooley. So he ran be
hind Dick, every step of the way yell
ing: 'Touch every base, for I'm watch
ing you.'
"When he got a few yards from
home somebody shouted "Slide, Dick,
slide!'
"This Cooley did. making a beauti
ful hook slide and rising with a smile.
"As he turned to go to the bench
Cantillon howled 'You're out.'
Dick wheeled as if shot.
" 'What for?'' he snapped.
' "'Jones caught that ball.'
"Vou never saw a man so mad as
Cooley that afternoon. Jim Hart, the
owner of the Cubs, was sitting in a
box near by. and he nearly passed
away laughing."
A good-looking recruit broke into
fast company at Buffalo and he gave
every indication of making a name
for himBelf. He had only one glar
ing fault used an Iron putter when
in the dining room.
After a brief meeting of the players
a veteran volunteered to steer the re
cruit right as regards his method of
eating.
He called the lad to one side and
said: "I don't want you to misunder
stand me. but we have a good chance
for the pennant. Everybody is watch
ing us, and for that reason I'd be
just a little careful If I were you how
1 ate er er ufling me Kiiue - u
that sort of thing, you know. Some
body might say something."
The recruit listened patiently. At
the end. after a brief pause, he
drawled: "Wall, nobody ain't said
nothing about it yet."
Jim Scott. ex-Sox star pitcher and
now a headliner with the San Fran
cisco Seals, with whom he has staged
a complete comeback, was relating
some of his experiences on the world
tour with the Hose and Giants to a
group of Cub players this spring.
"Those who attended' our games In
London were surprised when we didn't
take time off about the fifth inning
and retire for our cup of tea," said
Scott.
"Shortstop Hollocher of the Cubs
laughed. "Gee," he said. "If I came
in for a sip after making a couple of
bad bobbles in the field, . my hand
would be shaking so I'd probably
smash the cup." "

HUGO BEZDEK PMISEB
PRESIDENT -OF PENJT STATE
FAVORS FOOTBALL.
Game Said to Be Best for Instilling
Spirit of Unity Into
Student Body.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE,
Nittaney, Nov. 12. One of the most
enthusiastic supporters of th Penn
.State football eleven Is the lew pres
ident of the college. Dr. John M.
Thomas, who even made the-trip to
Cambridge to see Hugo Bexdek's war
riors battle Harvard. President
Thomas rarely misses a student mass
meeting; and at such a. "pep" session
held last week in preparation for the
Carnegie Tech game . he not only
backed up the Nittany eleven, but
gave a big boost to Jntercollegiate
football in general.
"I believe in football because it Is
the college sport above all others,"
said Dr. Thomas. "The professionals
get the headlines in baseball. 4 and
other amateurs share the honors In
tennis and golf; but in football the
colleges have the field.
"I believe in football because it
fixes in every student the spirit Of
fight and the will to win. It's all a
mistake to say that the men on the
bleachers get no benefit. They receive
incalculable benertt in the spirit that
surges through them In support of
the team the spirit of determination
and irresistible attack. American
youth are not so dull as not to carry
over that spirit into the great fight
of life.
"I believe in football because it
fuses the college into a unity. Before
the first big home game each year
the college is only a mass of Indi
viduals, but with the long yell that
greets the team for its first big fight
a new and living entity comes into
being. It is the college as a whole,
so much more and larger than the
sum of Its individuals. In the game
the soul of the college is awakened
anew, and he is no man at all into
whose heart the thrills of the contest
do not send currents of devotion and
loyalty which will flow till his heart
nc longer beats. ach autumn, as
the maples redden, we understand a
little better what It means to make
l:fe's fight, not singly and alone, but
with the courage and strength of a
great college pushing us toward the
goal.
"For these reasons I believe in
football especially football led by
big-hearted Hugo Bezdek, hard clean,
strictly by the rules, and with every
ounce in the fight to the last whis
tle." ,

BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 12. (Special.)
The University of Idaho defeated
the University of Wyoming at the
Armistice day football game here.
31 to 3.
It is estimated that 8000 persons
banked the sidelines and filled to
overflowing the big grandstand and
tho bleachers.
The heavy-hittin-g , backfield of
Wyoming made it possible for the
Cowboys of that state to draw first
blood with a' beautiful drop kick.
Wyoming's lead was of short dura
tion, for Idaho thereafter put a punch
into its playing that tore the Wyom
ing line to shreds, crumbled and
smashed down its ends, bowled) over
all interference and piled up three
touchdowns before the first half
ended.

Chicago Still Believes It Can Sup

League Ball Club.
NEW TORK, Nov. 12. A very light
breeze Bufflc.es to start the wings of
the baseball rumor mill to grinding
these days In the interim between the
close of the diamond season and the
advent of the legislative councils of
the leagues. A minute's conversation
between two notables, a glum look on
the face of one manager and a smile
on the features of another, and, lo!
great deals and changes are In the
air. -
A short chat In which Meisrs. Hus
ton and Gleason were the only par
ticipants the other day flooded the In
tangible air with reports Just as in
tangible as the air itself. Harry
Hooper was to Join the Yankees.
Eddie Collins was to come to New
York In exchange for a fortune In
players and cash, and would manage
the local American League club next
season. Bib Falk was to doff the
white hose of Chicago, wearing which
fame has come to him, and don a Man
hattan uniform. Kid Gleason himself

was to drop the wheel of the White
Sox craft and pilot the Yankees in
place of Miller Huggins.
Having thus switched from tho lake
shore to the Harlem river everything
of value possessed by the Chicago
American leaguers, save a couple of
pitchers and a catcher, the compilers
of modern fables paused for breath.
If Colonel Huston and the Chicago
Kid had realized what they were
starting by merely grasping hands
and exchanging greetings they would
have stood on opposite sides of Forty,
second street and shouted "Hullo!" at
each other above the din of the inter
vening traffic.
The main reason why none of these
reports has the ring of truth is the
fact. that Chicago, despite recent mis
fortunes in that line, still cherishes
the theory that It Is entitled to and
can support a really strong American
League baseball club. In the course
of a brief year Gleason and his back
ers have built upon the debris of the
old shattered machine a team pos
