A POOLROOM JOB.
How the BOOkies Work in
Fake Fights.
One of Them Is Beaten at His Own
Game-He Gets the "DoubIe
Cross"

The poolroom evil that has infested San
Francisco for the past few years is doomed.
Lovers OF the fistic sport and the public in
general have had such dose oil fake fights
and fixed affairs between the pugilists and
propretors of tie poolrooms that it has
come down to an everyday robblng propo-
sition.
1t has long been well-known fact that
the so-called bookmakers who run the pool
rooms here haye been closely connected in
more ways than one with the crooked fights
which have taken place within the past six
mon tbs. but heretofore no one mas been
able TO fix the blame on any one man.
There is story. however. which throws
light upon at least one affair which took
place recently at the California Athletic
Club.
This was the contest between Peppers, a
colored pugilist, supposed to hail from Los
Angeles, aud one Zellner, who was adyer-
tsed as ex-champion OF the Olympic Club
On the night of the fight everybody who
witnessed it cried fake" and they were
right; but since then facts have been
learned that 1t was not only fake; but
what is usually called in sporting circles
double-cross. In which a poolroom man got
q good dose OF his own medicine.
short time before the event poolroom
man approached Peppers, who, 10 was
thought could win easily. aud offered him
500 worth of pool-tickets on Zellner.
Peppers accepted these and agreed to 60
out in a specified number Of rounds
The poolr0om man then placed money on
Zellner in almost every banking.2lace in
town. il is said to the extent of thIrty-six
hundred odd dollars.
While he was doing this, Young Mitchell
had a confab with Peppers and learnel of
the deal
He happened 10 have bet thousand On
Peppers, and when he learned that his man
was to go out he Tut up a counter job by
giving Peppers 500 worth OF pool-tickets
on himself and taking Peppers Zeilner
tickets.
This little speculation made things plain
sailing for both OF them, as neither could
lose.
A good deal more money was then put up.
most OF it going against the poolroom mans
coin.
When the fight came off of course Peppers
won, and the originator Of the little JOB had
the pleasure of seeing himself get the
double cross to the tune OF 5000 or more.
Peppers, since the fight, has made no
bones about the matter aud has shown his
tickets and boosted how be dumped the
pool man to number of well-known sport
ing men.
As to the pool man. 1t is said he intends
10 give up the bookmaking business, and
the majority Of square sporting men think
he ought, and that what he got in his latest
deal served him right.
