Talking It Over B 1 DANIEL M. DANIEL
(Editor*' Note: Whll* Jor William* I* on hi* vacation this column will h conducted hr Daniel M. Daniel of the New York World-Teletram.) NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—1 t is the fourth inning—perhaps the fifth or sixth—of a more or less exciting ball game at the Yankee stadium. Make the time Monday. Or last Wednesday. It doesn't matter. Suddenly a tall, gray-haired man, dressed in unobtrusive blue and wearing a kindly, even benevolent, smile approaches the two men seated across the aisle from you. The tall one whispers something to the customers. They leave with tne man in unobtrusive blue. Why, isn't that nice of Colonel Ruppert to have a paging service for telephone calls! ' exclaims the sweet lauv with you. "They must be doctors, jr something." Well, tne men across the aisle aren't doctors—at least, not in a med:ca! sense. One is known to have enjoyed a long vacation at Ossining at the expense or the state of New York for doctoring a signature at the bottom of a check. His companion Is a sure thing gambler and general racketer They are being elected from the stadium for betting on the game. Or perhaps thev are merely lisited In the New York club’s "who’s who" of undesirable patrons and are being escorted to the gate, where thev will get their admission fees back. It Is possible that thev have been caught telephoning Information as to thprogresa of the game to some rendezvous of the gambling gentry. From ten 10 thirty such Incidents occur every time the Yankees play at home. nun ALL of which brings me to a department of the Ruppert baseball organization about which practically nothing hitherto has been written. It is the secret service bureau of the Yankees. In the offices of the club it is known as the U. C.—the under cover branch of a sports enterprise which represents something like $6,000,000 in ground, steel and concrete, and human investments. This Intelligence corps costs SB,OOO a year In salaries Occasionally a gambler, who has been thrown out of the park starts something legally, but not one of them has yet gone through with an action in the twelve years in which the fight against betting has been conducted here under the direction of Edward O Barrow, business manager of the New York club. Under Barrow there is Mr. X, who works for the Yankees ail the year round, not only in the stadium, but all over town—in speakeasies, hotels and other places where gamblers who specialize in betting on ball games may gei together Assisting Mr. X during the baseball season are six operatives who work all over the stadium. Mr. X will roam the grand stand on Sunday, and boh up in the right field bleachers on Monday. These operatives know 90 per cent of the betting gentry. There is no suggestion of spying on the fan who comes to the ball nark to see a game, and whose thrill comes entirely through the competitive phases, and the high skill demonstrated bv the players, but. the, U. C. department of the Yankees 1s an implacable foe of the gambler who thinks he can convert the stadium into a betting ring. nan IN so far as I know, only the Yankees and the Giants employ undercover men in a fight against those who bet on ball games. In this they have the wholehearted support of Judge K. M. Landis. Incidentally, the popular conception that Landis has his own detectives, who spy on gamblers and keep an eye on ball players, is not true. I want to Barrow Monday for the details on his secret service bureau. He was loath to discuss this almost unknown department of the ball club's administration. I insisted that the man in the stands, the fan in the bleachers, should know about It. "Well. I started my fight on gamblers in the ball park when I was in Boston,” Barrow said "The world series scandal of 1919 knocked me over. I did not think that anything of that sort was possible in baseball. I made a vow then and there to fight those who engineered the deal with those crooked White Sox, and those who presumed to gamble in any ball park with which I had any connection. I barred the late Arnold Rothstein from the Yankee Stadium. The American League followed my lead and he was kept out of all our parks. I have a list of perhaps ten others. Their money Is no good at the stadium. If they happen to sneak In we lose no time in throwing them out.” Barrow gave me their names. One was mentioned in connection with the 1919 scandal. The others are well known professional gamblers —not race track bookmakers, but men whose histories and pictures are in all newspaper morgues here, and whose finger prints no doubt are in the large collection down at police headquarters.

The Cubs’ spectacular drive to the league lead under their new and immensely popular manager, Charlie Grimm, has sent the interest of Chicago baseball fans soaring to anew high and more than 100,000 persons are expected to throng to Wrigley Field for the three-game series. Aside from bringing together the two leaders, the series will pit the year’s two bitterest rivals against each other. There has been bad blood between the two teams all year, which already has resulted in 1 one fist fight when Mickey Finn of Brooklyn and Billy Jurges of Chi- : cago tangled in Brooklyn. Cub PHchers Best Although the Cubs have been hitting a fast clip lately, they haven’t been traveling as fast as ! the Dodgers. Since July 24, Brook- ! lyn has won twenty-two out of | twenty-nine games. The Cubs have : won thirteen out of their last eight- : een under Grimm's management, but were skidding before that under Hornsby. The series promises to be the old story of pitching against Pitting, with the Cubs carrying the defensive strength and the Dodgers the power. Brooklyn has the league's leading hitter, Lefty O’Doul, who is batting .370, and Chicago has the league's leading pitcher, Lon Warneke, who has won eighteen games and lost five. A comparison of the two teams’ batting strength gives a big edge to Brooklyn.

With Koenig, the Yankee castoff, hitting timely and fielding brilliantly, he probably will remain at short in Jurges’ place. Manager Grimm plans to use Charley Root, who beat the Dodgers on the Cubs' last eastern trip, Lon Warneke and Guy Bush as his starting pitchers. Brooklyn will use Var Mungo, Hollis Thurston and Bill Clark or Dazzy Vance. The Dodgers have a two-game advantage over the Cubs in their games to date, winning nine to the Cubs seven.

Indians and Brewers Collide in Twin Bill Double-Header on Card at Milwaukee Today: Tribe Loses Monday and Fails to Benefit by Defeat of Millers: Angley Hits Long Homer. By Times Special MILWAUKEE. Aug. 23.—The Indians are not doing very well in the west, and were on the short side today since leaving home, their record jeing three defeats and two victories. The Tribesmen put up a fight here Monday against the Brewers in the series opener, but went down in ten
innings. 8 to 7. and failed to benefit in the race as Columbus nosed out the league-leading Millers at Minneapolis. The second-place Birds cut the Miller advantage to four and one-half games, but the Hoosiers, in third place, remained seven and one-half games back cf the Bushmen, and lost ground to Columbus. Asa result, the Buckeyes were out in front of the Men of McCann by three games. The Indians were to mix in a twin bill with the Cream City pastimers this afternoon, and the series will close with a single tilt on Wednesday. The Thursday date was advanced to supply the double attraction. The Hoosiers gave Milwaukee fans a “show.” at any rate, Monday. It was a see-saw struggle, with the Brewers chasing the Tribesmen all through the contest until the tenth, when the home hitters
xmibarded Archie Campbell and combed him for the winning run after jne out. The Brewers were either behind or even all the way until the extra round. Tom Angley crashed a circuit drive in the third stanza that was a real ,
poke. He lined the sphere into the center field bleachers, and the horsehide traveled at least 400 feet. The Tribe receivbr also got a single and boosted his batting average to .300. It was a long, hard pull for Angley to overcome his early season slump. The rotund backstop hit .375 last year and batted in 100 runs, and it was his failure to repeat that kind of hitting that caused a lot of trouble during the current campaign. Bolen Opposes Polli Southpaw Bolen of the Indians opposed Tony Polli. right-hander, at the start Monday and the Indians took the lead by chalking up a marker in the second frame. Angley’s homer in the third was followed by a Brewer run in the same inning and in the fifth Milwaukee tied the tilt at 2 and '2. In the sixth the Tribesmen rallied for three runs, but Milwaukee came right back with three on two doubles and a homer by Pip Koehler. In the seventh the Indians jumped out in front again with two markers, but the Brewers immediately knotted the contest again w'hen Hoffman laced out a homer. Bolen was derricked and Campbell took up the Tribe pitching. Campbell Weakens The struggle went scoreless in the eighth and ninth. In the tenth, however, Campbell wilted and singles by Gullic, Young and Koehler ended the fracas. Polli went the route on the Brewer slab. Bolen had bad luck in the third when Tavener's single went for a triple as Hufft tried for a shoestring catch and then O’Rourke’s pop fly fell between Rosenberg and Bedore. PARMALEE MAKES IT TEN B.y Science Scrricc MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 23.—After piling up a lead of 8 to 3 in the sixth, the Minneapolis mound staff collapsed Monday and Columbus scored eight times in the last three innings, winning 11 to 10. The Birds used four hurlers and the Millers three, Bud Parmalee receiving credit for the victory, giving him ten consecutive triumphs since joining Columbus. Hill was the losing pitcher. Joe Hauser of the Millers hit his thirty-ninth and fortieth home runs. Twenty-nine players saw service.
