Welchers at Saratoga and the betting world fallout
Special correspondence from New York reports on welching in racing circles at Saratoga and across major tracks. It details cases of gamblers from Missouri and California who failed to honor large bets, the sponsor risks, and the Sayers rule, plus a notable Southern accent bettor who vanished after losses and a broker who learned a welcher’s fate. It also recounts a Chicago man who welched on a coast deal and faced hard cash denial from bookies.

Bronx Park Commissioner Pushes Modern Playground Plan
Commissioner William P. Schmitt envisions Pelham Bay Park as America’s premier city playground combining athletics and military parade grounds. The 125 acre site will host baseball, rifle shooting, archery, quoits, lacrosse, tennis, cricket, bowling, running track, gymnasium, boating and bathing with a 25 acre parade ground and 100 acre athletic field. He argues parks must educate and lure the poor to healthy outdoor amusements while curbing hoodlumism at baseball games.

Spit Ball Becomes a Baseball Pitching Craze Among Lin League Players
