The Western Union Telegraph Company cut off its telegraphic service to-day to the three big syndicates which furnish information to more than a hundred pool-rooms operating In this city. This in iteelf is a blow greater than anything the police have done in their efforts to wipe out pool-room gambling in all the reform movements that have swept over the island of Manhattan.

The action of the Western Union in cutting out the three eee is the logical result of the recent fight made against it by the syndi, operators, \ Formerly the syndicate, pald $25 for the telegraphic service Soa then telephoned the racing results to a hundred branch pool-rooms. In crder to Increase its reventie the Western Union put a rate of $25 on every branch office receiving the service.
