By EDWIN C. HEINKE - A SEMIOFFICIAL syndicate to control all gambling in Indianapolis has been organized, The Times learned today. Principal aim oF the syndicate, which has the backing of persons close to promineny politicians, is to purge seven of the 11 baseball ticket perators currently doing an annual $12 to $15 million business in the city. The syndicate also has organized other gambling activities, including bookmaking and pick and win tickets operators, with a definite price scale for every gambling operator who is selected by the syndicate to function.
~~
THE SYNDICATE'S payoff scale is:
$2000 a month for each of the four operators of bage‘ball pool tickets.
$300_a month for retail outlets of “baseball pool tickets.

Chief Rouls said, “I'm getting busy.” » » » . » » FIRST EFFECT of the syndicate's operations was being felt today by several of the baseball pool tickets operators who have been frozen out of the gambling business. Their tickets were being returned to them by outlets, such as cigar stores, who have been visited in.the past “few days and told to quit handling the tickets of nonsyndicate members. There are approximately 200 cigar stores and other outlets, such as taverns, handling baseball pool tickets and with formation of the syndicate, street peddlers who work offices and factories are being eliminated,
AN ATTEMPT to organize the sprawling business of the baseball ticket operators was made last year. A syndicate was set up and the tax was $1000 a month for each of the 11. operators.
The syndicate was forced to close because the price

It was reasoned that if the field was cut down and certain tickets completely eliminated, the payoff could beafforded by the operators who remained in business. Thus the decision was made to restrict the business to four oper ators.
