Begin League Season
BASEBALL BETTING
RING MAKES ITS BOW
Gamblers Figure Out Scheme Which Should Find,
Ready Play Among- New York's i
Easy Ones.
Now York, April 16.?Now make way
lor tho betting ring that operates on
bcso'oall games. The speculative rra.
lernlty that has heretofore been tak?
ing a tarn or two on tho results at
Jamestown ami l'ensaeoia has shifted
Interest to baseball with the openini:
of the season, and hand bookmen arc
preparing to take waters on the great
American sport
Betting schemes, which have been
known in Flushing. Boston and Buf?
falo for several years, arc being In?
troduced here, and it is likely they
will bo followed by attempts to "make
books" at tho grandstands.
Hand bookmen who operate on
Broadway, from Forty-sixth .Street
down to Fourteenth, began to take
l ots on the results of games with tho
very first contest of the season, 'ticket
speculators, whom the new ordinance
has driven to cover and trouble, have
tilso gono into the business.
Enright, the well-known commis?
sioner, who handles mucn money on
races and acts for pool rooms hura and'
In Cincinnati, has prepared the most
comprehensive schonte of till. Ho has
solicitors out seeking, clients for a
?Weekly pool on the number of runs
made by clubs in tho American arid
National Leagues. Ho has figured oat
that 1.500 combinations of four clubs
of sixteen in the two leagues may be
I made, and a-ticket on eaeli of thosa
soi.l for SI will bring in $1,500 a ty*ek.
I Hero is the list of prizes his solicitors
I have offered;
First prize, to highest total of runs
made during six days' play by a com?
bination of. four clubs, $:100. ?
Second prize, for second highest
total made by a combination of four
clubs, 5100.
Third prize, $50.
Booby pr,lzc, for lowest number of
runs made by a combination of four
ciubs, $5o.
Daily highest score of a combina?
tion. $10.
Dally lowest score, $10.
Thus the gamblers can pay out only
js?O a week out of the $1,500 tnken in.
"Mayhc there are betters in New
York ' who will like that kind vf ti
game," said a gambler. "Thero are
more farmers In this city than In any
agricultural section in the Union; and
such a plan ought to prosper.
"But when you consider that In far,)
bank the player has less than one-half,
of 1 per cent, against him; and in rou?
lette he lias between 5 and IJ per cent,
against him, can you imagine how a
sane man will prefer to lose his money
against such a bunk and still keep
away from a faro layout?"

FROlVi TAKING RISK
[Veteran Catcher War.ts to Make
Try at Ball Thrown From
Aeroplane.
Washington, April 16.?It seems
likely that Manager McAleer. of the
Washington American League team,
v.iu Interfere with'the reported pro?
ject of, 'Charles' St root, the veteran i
catcher of thai club, of attempting to
catch a hall thrown by Aviator .lann?a |
from his aeroplane as It circles ovci
the Polo Grounds In Potomac Park
iiext Tuesday afternoon. Street if
understood to bo willing to rnuke the
attempt, but the baseball fans have
raised some muttering of protest that
even if tie succeeds in catching the'
hull he will have done nothing of any
Value for the team, and If lie falls and
Is injured the team will be the loser
The Nationals need Street behind
the bat in a hard campaign this sea
ton, and the baseball enthusiasts say
teat Street should not take chances of
injuriug himself in stunts which arc1
hot a part of baseball and savor only
of the circus. Street last year caught
f. l all that was thrown from the top of
the Washington Monument, a feat
fwhich won for him a great deal of
Interest throughout the country among
the millions of people interested in
baseball. Manager McAleer so far has
Hot indicated just what he will do in
the latest Idea of combining aero
planlsui ind hasclmlllsm.

Baseball enthusiasts will find plenty
of divert laement to-day along their
j favorite line. .V. the league ball park
Itlchinond is slated to go up against
(leorge lleckcrl's Tri-Stalc 'fronton
nine for li morning and afternoon en?
gagement. The forenoon affair will
begin m l?:30 o'clock, and will consist
of two live-Inning games. The after?
noon's o(ferine will begln-at the usual
hour, I o'clock, and will likewise be
of the abbreviated variety.
lieckert Is entirely recovered from
his sickness of yesterday, and promises
that his crowd will give an exhibition
of the national name which will prove
Interest inn at all stages, .leeins Sulli?
van likewise has hopes of putting a
good taste in the mouth or the fans
by annexing at least a majority of the
gameit to be played, and has hopes of
Wiping the slate clean, an accomplish?
ment which will hardly meet with ap?
proval from lleckcri,
It the topheavy crying spell, which
has I.e.li prevalent hereabouts for
some time, wi.l take a recess for a few
I hours, gaily bonneted girls as well as
Hwnggerly attired men will not bo
alone In celebrating Easter, for pros?
pects are good for a crowd at the park
with anything like a day.
lieckert llone Willi Outlaws,
ifeckert was long on talk last nlghl
as he sat around the lobby of tho Lex?
ington Hotel, saying mean things about
Petersburg for the raw weather which j
ho encountered and for the cold which
he brought away with him. He TTas
a very good opinion of tho Norfolk j
club, but was surprised a1, the lack j
or support which Charlie Bnbb In re?
ceiving from the newspapers In Nor?
folk. Naturally, lleckcri Is not qullo
no familiar with conditions .in Norfolk
as some of us nearer to that town,
and therefore his surprise.
Ill;; remarks apropos of the outlaw
aggregation are rather lntoreatliiK In
view of . e fnct that no was himself
mixed up .ii tlie outlaw business for a
number of years; in fact, was the mov?
ing spirit.
"Those fellows down there are mak?
ing a groat mistake," ho aaid. ".mj one
knows it bettor than 1 do. 1 had my
share of outlaw baseball, and never
again for mine. 1 was mighty glad
to get back Into the organized ranks, '
and I am here to tell you that 1 am
going to stay there Just as long as I
can."
The Trent.n leador is also of the
opinion that Heinle Busch has a good;
club, and vojv- - a few sentiments re?
garding the'salary limit question, lie
holds to the belief that a small salary
limit Js the right tiling for a small
league, and ho further believes that it
does not cheapen the game, in 'olio ;
words, lie sera little difference in the
ball team which can be secured for,
say, $1,200 a month and the ball team
which costs about $2,000 a month. His I
reasons for this opinion arc many. I
but all of them can be summed up in |
the remark that until a league begins:
paying real money for ball players the
quality of the player is about tho I
same !
There are'many who feel the same I
way about it. and from reports re?
ceived from around the circuit it looks j
as if tlie Virginia League is a stronger!
playing organization this year than !
it was last, which] lends some weight
to Meckort's remarks:

The Richmond Amateur Baseball

It took considerable work on the

the various lines we handle,
and wc are starting in this

It is our purpose to tell
you, in as few words as possi?
ble, why we are in busi?
ness, how we run our busi?
ness, of what our business
consists, what we do for
our customers, what wc
have to offer our custom?
ers, and to invite, on the
strength of our lines and our
management, the patronage
of discriminating buyers
and automobile owners in
Richmond and the State of
Virginia.
We want you to have an
opportunity to know us bet?
ter, and in the offset wc want
to say that our business
methods and everything con?
nected with the Company
