BASEBALL AND THE GAMBLERS
A great many thousiund persons who love baseball
for the clean, wholesome, pulse-stirring sport tlierc
is in it will commend the determination of the lead
ers of the game to prevent gambling from becoming
associated with it.
^ ears a(fo what is now the great national pastime
was almost on the rocks because the gamblers saw
in it opportunities for separating other people from
their monev. At that time there were charg-es that
prominent players had been bribed to "throw"
games.
The sport was under grave suspicion, but it was
saved from falling into utter disrepute by driving
the tramblers out.
Of recent \ears a tendency hn* been remarked in
different parts of the country to bet on baso ball
games.
Thus far it has been practiced almost entirely iu
a sninll way and without doing any particular harm
to the sport But that there is such a tendency has
been noticed by gamblers, and they have evidently
been encouraged to believe that the public is read}*
to accept and welcome betting as au attendant at-
trition to base ball. Some of tnem hav® gone so
far as to publish odds and invite the public to
speculate.
It is against these gentry that the men most
vitalh interested in organized base ball, are now
proceeding.
W itliout gambling, base ball has become, not

NO FOREIGNERS IN THE NAVY
Apropo to the war fever that is now pulsating
over the nation it is of interest to know that today
there ure practically no foreigners in our navy.
I he New Orleans Picayune observes that during
the recent visit of American warships to that port
some comment was caused by the fact that a number
of Japanese were noticed anions the sailors on
board.
Investigation proved that such f ireigners are
known as messuien—that is servants connected with
the service of the cabins and in the commissary de-
partment.
The Japanese messmen are gradually disappear-
ing from the ships of the navy, however, as several
years ago the Navy Department adopted the poiicv
of u„ longer enlisting foreigners for any purpose
As fast as the enlistments of the Japanese now in
the service terminate they are replaced bv Ameri-
cans.
The rule that is now being applied to the messmen
branch ot the naval service was long since adopted
tor general enlistments in the navy. Foreigners are
no longer enlisted either as sailors, stokers or in
any of the various other branches.
There are still a few foreigners in tile service,
who have been there many years, but the number is
so small thqt it can be truly said that the entire per
sonnel of the navy is made up of native or natural-
ized Americans.
Ihere was a time not so many years back when
practically every nationality on earth was repre-
sented among the crews of our ships. Sailors were
comparatively so scarce at home that foreigners
were freely enlisted.
With the development of the new navy the policy
of gradually eliminating tile foreigners was adopted
and young men from the interior of the countrv
were recruited to till up the complements of our
fighting ships. These young men. although stalwart
Americans, were not sailors, but after a short period
of training they met all requirements, in our mod-
ern ships, which demand rather mechanical skill
than seamanship. As a result, the more thai. 40UWI
ineu in the navy at the present time are all Ameri-
cans. with a very few exceptions, and the enlisted
force is consequently more to be depended on in the
event of war than was the case when a verv large
percentage of the men behind the guns were forest-
ers.

sension and division may sometimes work
"eli tn promoting a much needed reform

Harmon is not. He is similar in phy-
