We do not believe that at this day base ball games are played otherwise than upon their merits. There is no money in them for the gamblers, as the sport is too uncertain and requires too large a combination of confederates, and players are not so easily cajoled. They know that detection is easy and only a question of time, and the punishment remorselessly sure and lasting, the cases of Devlin et al being forever before their eyes.
