YOUTH OF A PLUNGER.
Lives in Pittsburg aud Wins $4,000
On Base Bail Games.

Several weeks ago Pittsburg news
paper contained an item to the effect
| that there was a newsboy who risked
from IS, to $50 a day on the ball games.
This created some surprise. and there
We're some who doubted its truth. The
story referred to Is not marker COM
pared to the one which came to light
yesterday.
Every morning as one nears the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Smithfeld
street, he will observe a rather slen-
der looking youth of Is years doing out
newspapers to a big crowd Of news
boys. He answers tothe name of Erne
House, and gives little evidence of
being a plunger of any magnitude. In
deed he would be the last one on earth
to be suspected of the betting instinct
and seems all-absOrbed In the perform
ance of his humble work. When two
weeks ago he walked up to "a prominent
betting man and offered to bet him
$3.50 on the result of a days game" "
the betting man smiled and asked Erne
if there was anything wrong with him.
House said no. and followed the as
sertion up by tapping his pocket and
sayings that the coin was there. The
betting man hesitated some time be-
fore taking the bet. and wished he
had not done so that evening, when
House won all the bets and pocketed
the cash.
For eight days this kept up, House
placing the amount stated on the result
of each days games. Monday was the
first day he lost since he started to bet
with the man referred to, and that man
says that the youthful speculator is now
i'm possession of $4,000 of his good cash.
The success with which House picked
them made the Old-timers stagger.
When asked about the matter, House
was inclined to be silent. He requested
that nothing be said of it. but as the
incident is so rare and novel his request
could not be complied with. House was
at his work this morning with accus-
toned industry, and though clean and
tidy. his whole belongings If put up at
auction would not bring a $40 note. if
the sale was governed by his appear
ance.
