PLAYERS OF WHOM LITTLE HAD BEEN EXPECTED
SHOW SURPRISING sKILL-sELEcTIoNs
OF GAMES
Now that the first prize has been captured by
Lasker attention might be called 10 the fact that
after Saturdays play the young Hungarian player,
Maroczy has the best chances 10 win the second
prize He will have to play with Showalter to-day
Should he defeat the Kentuckan. then ne will win
the second prize. as no other competitor can equal
his score OF twelve and one-ha.f wins Should ne
draw. then PiIsbury. Steinitz or Tarrasch might.
If airy one OF them wins to-day. tie with the
Hungarian player. Should. however, Maroczy lose
to Showalter. any OF the three players just men,
toned might. by winning to-day, capture the second
prize
As far Steinz and Pillsbury are concerned. only
one OF them has chance as these players have TO
play in the final round to-day II either OF them
wins the game. the other will not get the second
prize but II they draw and Maroczy loses. both
might have look in. provided Tarrasch also loses
or draws with Alb!r. in which latter case Tarrasch
Steinitz, Plsbury and Maroczy will be even
terms
IT, on the other hand. Tarrasch wins, Maroczy
loses and Steln'tz and Pillsbury draw the doctor
Will then get the second prize l. will be easily un-
cerstood therefore, that Janowski with ten and
half. WabrOdt with ten and -haif and Schechter
with ten wins. may all come In for share OF the
prizes. but the other competitors, including Tsch!
gOrin, are out OF IT, Il will thus be that OF
the favorites only four-namsly. Lasker, Plsbury
Steinitz and Tarrasch-w!ll be placed. the other
prizes being taken by outsiders.

Betting in Pittsburg.
(Pittsburg Dispatch)


One of the biggest bets made in the city
occurred last week when 5000 was wsg-
cred against 81, 900 that Mckinley would
be elected President. The money was de-
posted last week, Pittsburger taking the
Mckinley end, and a Butler county man
the Bryan end.
In the betting last week the Bryan peo-
pie asked odds of three to one on the general
result, and it must be said that they put
up the short end of it about as long as the
Republican money was put forward.
The bets did not range higher than $500
to 800 and pools we're formed on both
sides in these instances. Late. the Rep
ublicans were saying the Bryan people
wanted odds of four to one.
Among several bets at even money were
those on how West Virginia would go, as
to Mckinley having 10000 majority in Hi
nois and that Mckinley would have 200,-
600 majority in Pennsylvania.
Bryan money was offered that he would
carry Kansas, and Mckinley money offer
ed that the Ohio man would carry Ne
braska. No bets were made on either
proposition.
One Bet of $3.50 even was made that
Bryan would carry more counties in Penn
sylvania than Mckinley. For majority
of $50, 600 in Pennsylvania the Republi-
cans had to offer odds of two to one.
Several wagers were made on New
York State and New York City, and there
did not seerl to be any trouble in placing
money, though in small amounts, when
parties came into conflict on the result in
these two places. If $35, 900 has been bet
on the elec, ion here, that is the outside
figure.
One Of the novel bets last night was be-
tween John Flannery and Charles Finn
on one side and John New ell and ex- Poll
ce Magistrate Mullen on the other Newell
asked for odds If Bryan is elected Elan
merry and Finn arc to hire carriage
drawn by four horses and the four will
take part in the subsequent Bryan demon
stration.
If Mckinley be elected, and it is here
the odds come in, Newell and Mullen will
hire two horse carriage and the four will
appear in the Mckinley demonstration.
There are to be footman, red fire and other
accomplishments in this end of the demon
stration.
A novol election bet was made by two
South side men yesterday, John Glaughlin
Republican, bet William M3Cully that
Mckinley would be elected, the bet to be
paid by the losing man shaving off one
side of his mustache and sitting on exhi-
biiion in museum for week.
