BASEBALL POOLS
STILL FLOURISH
—
Big Lotteries Claim Many
Victims in United States
Despite Landis.
New fork.—In pen i iber, Rf?2.
Commissioner Keneeaw M. Landis,
chief mogul of baseball, Issued a slate
ment In which he said that hn<elwll
pools were the “slimiest nnd lowest
form of criminal existence," and ,
pledged the big bn mi hall leagues to a
war which would slump out the pools
and end them forever.
. Today there are nl lensl three big
pools operating nil over the country.
And every day the Inte’est In them Is
growing u« thousand* upon thousands
of hopeful. If misguided, citizens lake
“nnmliers” wtib the ho|*e of winning
■ lot of money. But tho«e who know
something about baseball pools nnd

New York Fails.
The district attorneys In New fork
state have tried to suppress It. But
■Ithongh there have been live or els
convictions In New York for gambling
through lotteries, the pool continue*
Its great secret Is protected. Those
who make “numbers" In tha big base-
hall pools do not know from whom
they actually get them.
A concerted drive was made lost
summer by federal postal Inspector*.
It brought the Indictment of five men
In Rost on and the conviction of only
one. Then the federal authorities In
New York tried It. They did not svsn
get a conviction. Within the last few
weeks eight men .sve been arrested
In 1'ronkljrn and Manhattan, hut no
one. least of all the district attorney,
believes those men srs the real op-
rratora of the pool.
’To operate a gambling Institution
Is a felony," It was said In the office
of the district attorney, “and there
la no question hut that this baseball
pool Is a gambling Institution, al
though the defense has usually been
that It wiib merely a ticket sale.
“These pools take the money of sutv
scrlbers who are given hsaelmll teams.
The number of runs counts, but to
win tbe big price all the teams chosen
by the suhscrltver must have the exact
cumber of runs he picks for them

“The newspapers, or some of tLetn.
help ulotig tbw pool. They publish the
total run: each da ‘.J tne baseball
team* and carry tables showing the
standing. In runs, for the week But
while that practice Is a great help to
the pool operators. It Is not Illegal."
It appears that the practice of "play-
ing baseball pools" Is widespread
But It also ap|H-ars that, while the
