PERMANENT EFFORTS
FOR ENDING GAMBLING
Commissioner Rees Will Keep
Special Officers at Baseball
Games This Year.
Special to The Gaiette-News.
flrcensboro, April' 29. Commis
sioner li. M. Hees declared yesterday
that he proposes to keep up the
watchfulness started this sprint? to
prevent gambling at the baseball
games. Several policemen will be sta
tioned among the crowds and parties
caught gambling will be arrested.
Sheriff Stafford is co-operating with
the city and deputy sheriffs will be
on hand to assist in the work.
This move was begun by Commis
sioner Rees when the Vlrglnla-Caro-I
Una baseball game was played, and
officers have been on the watch at the
; park each game since. They will con
I tlnue there throughout the season.
; No one has been arrested.
Mr. Rees declared that it Is his be
i lief many people have remained away
from baseball games because they felt
I there was gambling, and he believes
j that the prevention of the evil will
make way for many more people to
attend, feeling they are at an exhibi
tion of pure sport Instead of at a
place where such unlawful conduct is
engaged In.
This Is one of' the moves by the de
partment o reduce gambling in the
city both In private and public, and
fommiarioner Rees is firm in the dec
laration that It mus be eliminated.
WHEN you go hunting' around for a
"For Rent" sign to place In the
