of wealth to satisfy his many wants,
and though running at ono and the

Fifth avenue, New York; the magnfl

Its thoroughbreds of all kinds among
which were celebrated horses and dogs

etc., yet, strange to say, there was
nothing neglected, while the business
with which he was connected, received
his careful attention. Though he
loved a good gun nnd was fond of
shooting, and sport In any form, he
always seemed to have leisure, and
was a great reader. The writer has

At South Amboy, N. J., tho efficient

From Philadelphia Press: Baseball
In this city Is confronted with' the
greatest danger that has arisen in tho
past quarter of a century. Once be
fore the same evil was permitted to
gain tho itpperhand, and. In the words
of Billy Shurslg, business manager of
tho Philadelphia American League
Club, "baseball will never survive an
other such experience."
Tha Humbling Kvll.
' The danger .which threatens tho
game 1 that of gambling, which haa'
taken a firm root among a certain ele
ment nnd which Is not only evident at
all games played at Philadelphia park,
but Is growing to such proportions
that the officials of he club should call
a halt at onco. For tho past few sea
sons tho roof on top of the club houso
has been a favorite spot for thoso who
gamble on the result of the game, and
In the various plays which are likely
to como up. Several times tho men
who congregate at this point hnve
been driven away, but they havo In
variably returned after u few days.
Practiced In (Itauil Staail.
This season the practice has spread
to the grand stand, and the right-hand
section of the cantilever Is now the
fuvorite spot for dozens of men who
bet sums ranging from $10 to $100,
aud In some Instances even higher
amounts, upon tho result of a game.
There Is no effort to conceal tho trans
actions, and the betting Is done as
openly as was the case lu tho old
days at the Gloucester race track.
It Is when the "double headcis" are
played, though, that tho betting Is
most apparent. Then there Is such a
short time In which to get down the
bets that the gamblers fairly fall all
over each other In their efforts to place
their money. Tho bets are' mostly
made on tho final result of a game, and
upon the proposition that one club will
make moro runs In one Inning than
the other does during the entire game.
On both of these hundreds of dollars
openly bet every afternoon.
It is against the rules of the Na
tional league to permit betting on
games at a ball park, but this rule Is
being openly violated every day there
Is a game at Broad and Huntington
streets. Indeed, it Is rumored that
bookmakers make regular nooks, both
In the cantllovor and on the top of thV
club house.
Minnie Won't tiara It.
Tho aamo men who now congregate
nt Philadelphia park hnve been driven1
away from Columbia park, nt Twenty
ninth street nnd Columbin avenue.
Shortly aftor the season began Busi
ness Manager Shnrslg discovered what,
was going on nnd promptly suppressed1
the practice. Even nftel' that ono man
who Is most conspicuous in hotting ut
the gaineH pleaded with Mr. Sharslg
for permission to continue mnklng
bets. To thin mnn Mr. Sharslg said:
"Tho gamblers killed hnsehall In
thlii town 25 years ago. I know what
It wns then to put tho gamo on Its feet,
and as long as I can prevent It theio
will bo no countenancing tho evil at
this park."
It Is In tho effect that may follow
tho practice that tho evil exists. Dur
ing tho seventies tho gamblers formed
a comblnntlon with the players, with
such dire results Hint In 1875 tho
Philadelphia Club was expelled and In
1870 similar action wan taken In the
ciiho of the Athletics of this city, and
tho Mutuals of New York.
