ANOTHER POLICY SHOP.
Two Gambling Rooms Conducted
 OnanlY on Brook Street.

Two Gambling Rooms Conducted
 Openly on Brook Street.
 A new gambling room has been open ed on Brook street near the establish ment of Fred King and already appears to be doing a thriving policy business. Both places are run openly, but are hourly expecting visit from the police.
 Of the regular players of the game we have been unable to find more than one or two who have managed to keep ahead of the dealers. A Scovill street man who has been a confirmed player for years won something over S1OO last week, but it is safe to say that his losses would amount to many times that sum. Here is sample of the tickets issued daily by King:
 B Feb NJ
 5-9- 16 = 55 = 5s G s4.37 50 9 5 14 G $S.75 10 To one who does not understand the game the small piece of manila paper upon which the above characters are written is as mysterious as Chinese laundry ticket. But the expert knows at glance that the above forms a combination which if successful | in all its numbers will win $52.45. The letter ''B" denotes that the ticket holder is playing upon the Kentucky and Frank fort drawings. If the holder guessed three numbers of the first ''gig" correctly he would receive S4. 37; if four numbers were correct he would receive sir AS and if the five numbers were found in the drawings he would receive S43. TO- For this bit of diversion the player blanks down cool half dol | lar and the chances are about thou sand to one against his winning. The second run of figures is a simple "gig" and if the three numbers are drawn the player will receive SS.75. He pays ten cents for this guess
 Many women are counted among the victims of the game.
