Baseball gambling got a sharp slap
In the municipal court . this morning
when Acting Judge Gebhardt fined Ju
lius Neuberger, brother of one of the
proprietors of a saloon at S27 Wash
lngton street, 1100 ' for conducting a
gambling room. - Charles O. Kline, an
employe of a meat market and John
D. Knight - a traveling salesman, were
fined $1Q each for making bets on a
baseball gam'e. '
A, spirited defense was made by the
accused men and attempts were' made
to show that the money, which Patrol
men -Coulter and-Helms saw passed
across, the bar was only In payment of
debts, contracted by Knight ,and Kline.
Neuberger said he ' had been left ' In
charge of the plaea while his brother
went to lunch -and that' . Kline and

statements, but questions elicited the

mitted he had been in the' city a week,
The trial again brought up the ques
tlon whether betting on baseball games
constitutes a form of gambling. Two
years ago a similar ease was thrown
out; of court - Assistant City Attorney
Sullivan maintained In the cases this
morning that baseball is a game o

chance with no absolute certainty as
the outcome, and that it is therefore
covered by the general ordinance against
gambling. Judga Gebhardt took the
same position and refused to entertain a
motion by the attorneys of the accused
