"Don't ask me." Craven rubbed his palm. "I thought all the suckers were out there. How much have you got? But first let me warn you! You had better have your head examined!" "I'll bet you a ten even-money that the Blues finish first, second or third in the league," Terry replied hotly. "Say, Little Lord Fauntleroy, do you know what the odds are on this team?' Craven asked. "No, I don't." "Well, I will tell you.

POY, weer column last night you might have found out for yourself, Veeder pub- lished the odds on the pennant chances of every team in the United and Columbia leagues, The quotations were those of Tommy Tinkey, the famous St. Louis bookmaker," Craven paused and then went on derisively. "Down near the bottom of the list came the St. Louis Rubes and the Detroit Bears. They were coupled at 100-to-1, The Blues, my bonnie young plunger, brought up the tail-end and were quoted at the juicy but hopeless odds of 200-to-1. Biers broke in. "And don't think for a moment that any professional layer of odds is going to give you a price like that unless he is darned sure he won't have to pay off. So you can see what chance those hard-boiled babies think your Blues have." "Boy, what a clean-up a fellow could make by scattering a few thou- sand around at those lovely odds! That is, of course, if a miracle hap- pened and this team of has-beens could come through." This from Craven again. "Do you mean to say that I could get two hundred dollars back for every dollar I bet on the Blues?" Terry asked. "Sure you could.. What did I just tell you?" Craven answered. "But you would have a tough time placing any bets unless you were one of the big boys like Murallo, Abestein or Johnny Fox. Those lads know how. They ave big time gamblers and when they hop aboard a long shot they scatter their bets throughout the poolrooms of St. Louis, Chicago, and New York and nobody is the wiser, even the bookies. Why, when a gent like Murallo places a bet, it's_in. There is a baby who knows how to take care of all angles." "I sure would like to have a few dollars down® at those odds, just the same," Terry replied. "I have a hunch that this year's Blues team isn't a 200-to-1 shot by any stretch of the imagination." "Don't waste your money, kid," Biers advised. "I've been at this game for a long time. Keep away from Murallo and his kind.. They're bad medicine. You remember what hap- pened. to Dutch Klein?" "He was outlawed." Biers nodded. "Yes and Why? Be- cause he was seen talking to one of Murallo's men in the stand. You'd better keep away from Murallo if you want to keep your job on the paper and come through clean. A newspaper man can't afford to mix his work with a racket like that." "But I can't see," Terry said in- credulously, "where those gamblers find anybody to take their money at odds like that, How on earth do they get it down without lowering the odds?" Craven gave an impatient snort. "They have a dozen different ways. "| Sometimes they place money on" all the teams in the race so as to avoid suspicion. You know the old gag. Give away a hundred dollars to win five hundred. Then they have a gang of confederates going around the coun- try placing a hundred here and' af hundred there. The old adage about taking a sucker to trim a sucker still holds good. The hookies all go in for it, They figure money bet on a team like the Blues is.in the bag. already. But don't forget ong thing: Murallo or any of his crowd wouldn't get on a tail-endes unless it was taken care of. You can fix a horse race, my boy, but a pennant race is another story altogether. So I don't think Murallo or any of the other mobsters will be bothering their heads about this year's pennant race as far as the Blues are concerned. "Some guys will always be attract-' ed by a long shot," Biers took up the conversation. "As I was saying just now..." "Can't somebody shut him up?" Craven wailed. "As'I was saying," Biers went on, giving Craven a sour look, "it was a real game in the old days and real men playing it too. Listen, I can remember when Iron Joe McGinnity would pitch a double-header and win both games by a shut-out. Yes, and what's more, he'd be all ready to go in the box the following day and nine times out of ten do the same thing again," "How far was the pitching mound from the plate in those days, Doc?" Craven asked, with a wink at Terry on the side. He loved to ride the old man, "To be continued.

Cleaning A ing A Building The Woolworth Building, which desultory fashion since early last summer, will be all cleaned: up now in a couple of weeks, just-in time for its 19th birthday, observes the New Yorker. It was opened on May 1, 1913. Had not had a bath since that time and noonday ever really intended to should have one. The present abolutions, 'which are being carried on with plain soap and water, just got started and couldn't be stopped. Along in June, some men were sent up to repair copper roofing ardbund the 53rd storey and in doing it, they washed a clean streak around the building. That looked quite funny, like a small bandage on a large finger, and the people spoke about it. So they washed down from the 53rd to the 47th storey. When they drew off and looked at that it was funnier than ever. "They then worked on down to the 43rd storey, still think- ing they could wash' it or leave it alone. After one long look at the result, they decided to wash the whole darn building. They started out, with just a few men working and kept it up at that rate. most of the winter. Lately they've had eight men working. The dirt scrubs off easily enough, the surface being glazed white terra cotto. The dirt was one sixteenth of 'an inch thick in some places. The north and west sides, which get the force of the prevailing winds, were fessional cleaners, just _ working members of the building staff. They were nervous about working oh frail scaffolds so high up, so every morn- ing," after the scaffolding was rig- ed, Arthur James, the janitor, went out and walked around it. He tops the scales at the 250-pound mark, and they figured if it held him, it would hold: anybody, It was - his own idea.

British Train Sets New Speed Record LONDON, -- The stream-lined_Sil- ver Jubilee Express of the London and North Eastern Railway; running from Newcastle-on-Tyne to London, recently established a new speed record for British trains by reaching a maximum speed of 118 miles an hour.

He says the parlor has beccme a living-room and. the Bible has been relegated to some back room out of sight. The passing of the old family Bible will be regretted by all of us who: can remember when it was the most important and most impressive object i» the parlor. In those days the par- lor was the eceiving room and show place of the home. The furniture was of the stiff horsehair variety that was decidedly uncomfortable to sit on but was regarded as an ab- solute necessity in the furnishing of such rooms. The shade was kept scrupulously drawn. full-length so as to exclude all As Memory Recalls possible sunlight which A fade the inevitable carpet. The door was closed tightly with the result that the room emitted a dank, chill dir in winter and hot, stifling air in sum- mer, The status of a guest with the household could easily be determined by the room to which he was usher- ed. The minister, for instance, was automatically seated -on the horse- hair sofa but a visiting poor relation sampled the hard, wooden benches in the kitchen. The passing of the family Bible with its records of births, deaths and marriages and as a hiding place for all kinds of odd documents is to be regretted.

The sad fact is that a goodly per cent. of those houses were too expen- "sive for the people who purchasd. The load was such that when distur- bance came the purchasers had equity gance came the 'purchasers had equity not large enough to hold, and many homes have gone to the mortgagees --to the sorrow of the latter, usually.
