les1rt of Appeals on Pool Selling.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland de
cides by divided bench of four to two
that pool selling is not gambling within
the meaning of the penal laws of the
State. The statutes make it criminal
offence for any person to keep "a gaming
table or other place of gambling" and
declare Il at 'all games, devices aud con-
trivauces at which money or any other
hing shall be bet or wagered shall be
deemed gaming table" The Court
admits that pool selling weuld be a vio-
laton of the law if the buyers of tickets
were playing a game of chance, but holds
that such is not the character of the
scheme "Gain or loss. says Judge Bry-
an, is determined not by chance, but 10y
the success Of the chosen horses" 1t
might with equal force be said that play
ing poker is not gambling, because win
ming or losing is not matter of chance,
but depends on the skill or cunning Of
the player. Here is tie reasoning which
the Court advances in support of its
striking theory:
The object OF purchasing these tickets
was TO wager money on certain horse
races. No ordinary Interpretation Of
language would describe their conduct
as the playing of game. When man
hazards his money on the rise or fall If
prices Of stocks, cotton. grain or her
commodities it cannot in the proper use
Of language. be said that he is PLAYING
at a game of chance, nor can the place
where such ventures are made or regis
tered be designated as a gaming table
Bets are made and money hazarded on
many of the uncertainties and contin-
gencics Of life, but in the common use
Of language these transactions are not
called games ofchance The contingency
on which these appellants wagercd their
money was the result of race In one
event they would win, in another they
would lose 1t my be said that manv
elements of uncertainty were involved
in the wage by reason of the various
combinations whicS might be made in
the pools But nevertheless the thing
which was to determine gain or loss was
the success Of the horses chosen If by
any singular subtlety of discourse a horse
race could be shown to be = game of
chance, By the same reason We must
bold it was played on the race course
and that the horses we're the players "
The pool sellers themselves could
hardly hope to present the innocent foa-
lures and moral aspects of their oecnpf-
ton with more subtle ,ogic or philosophic
FEASIBILITY than is displayed in this judi
cial exposition. The decision settles the
law for Maryland at least until the
Legislature shall enact a different one
But i is open to question whether the
novel theory of polls advanced by the
Court of Appeals will have a convincing
effect on the judicial mind in other
States. In New York pool selling is a
criminal offence by express statutory
enactment. Itmay be doubted. however,
whether the highest judges of that State
would hold it to be an innocent amuse-
ment in tue absence of such enactment.
