ELEVEN HANDS or POKER,
They Ought to Have Won Every Time
b1t YlfIu't.

They Ought to Have Won Every Time,
bat Didn't.
It's the bewildering uncertainties of
the great game of poker that make 1T SO
popular with most Americans. Systems
and the law of average do not seem to
obtain as much in the play of this game
as they do in most other games of chance
and skill This point never was more
strikingly illustrated than it was one
night not long ago in the short space Of
half an hour
The game ls a regular institution ca
one Of the late suAarban trains out OF
New 1ors Ene first stop that is made
by this train is exactly 80 minutes after
the train leaves New York The game
always starts Oh time. and the cards are
gathered 10 and the players jump off
usually as the train begins to get head
way after the first stop
This explanation is necessary TO fully
appreciate the array OF hands that makes
tine real point Of this story One player
with a good memory held in the 80
minutes play the following hands, with
these results
Four aces-won, of course.
Five full on aces-beaten.
One fiush-beaten
One stralght-beaten.
Three a-ces--beaten.
-Four sets of aces up--all beaten
Three sevens-beaten.
Queens up o
Jacks up-won.
Tens up-won
Mines up on fours-beaten.
In this really remarkable collection
If IL hands only 4 of them were win
ners, and yet the man who held them
says that he came out even He got
scared Oh his FIVE full and on his flush
and Just called. He lost considerable on
his three aces, but he won more on his
queens up that he held only onc than
he did on his four aces. His jacks up
Melted him more than any other hand,
for he had them pat and played them so
ON the opening OF a fat jack pot.
The five fall was beaten by a ten full
and the flush was beaten by a queen
full. None of the other men in the game
thought that his hand was especially
strong or weak, and it would be expect
ed naturally that the array of hands
given above would quit the game con-
siderably TO the good if one did not
know that most of them were beaten. -

The QUESTION OF REGATTAS
Coach Lehman Discusses the Pro-
posed American Henley.
Does Not Regard 1t Practicable and
Believes That University Men Do
Not Generally Desire 1t.
.rlllce. Mnss.. Dec. 9.-The Harvard

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 9.-The Harvard
Crimson publishes the following conlinunlca-
ton from Coi.ch Lehman, of the Har gdrd
crew, relative to the proposed American
Henley:
The dinner at Washington on December
10 is a private dinner, and no intiIna ton
mas been given to me that the question or
an American Henley, or any other qiles-
ton Of public interest in connection with
athletics, viii lie brought forward for dis.
cusson. Nor do l believe that any such dis
cussion viii take place. With regard 70
what is called an American Henley, have
not been interviewed with reference 10 the
subject since / landed, early sin Novem-
ber. Those who speak Of an American n
Henley do not appear to me to understand
quite what the English Henley Is.
The regatta in EnS SIanu is not held ineon-
nection with any collegiate association
or any special body of affiliated clubs
Subject to the amateur definitions the
big events for eights, fours, pairs and sin
giles are open TO the whole world. The
colleges but not the university boat clubs,
! Of oxford and Cambridge compete at He'll
ley. So does the Leander Club, which is
| formed almost entirely of oxford and
| Cambridge men.
Among other competitors may be men
toned the London Rowing Club, the Thames
| Rowing Club, the Kingston Rowing Club,
| the Moulsey Boat Club, the Royal Chester
| Rowing Club ana the schoelboy. clubs of
| Eaton and Radley.
The Henley regatta usually begins about
| July l 1t would undoubtedly be pos
| sible TO establish in this country series OF
college races, which should result In bring
| ing together the two best college crews OF
the year over four-uiile course. These
| contests would not in any way resemble
| the Henley regatta. The nearest analogy
| 10 our Henley would be brought about
! If, for instance, the rowing colleges Of
America We're to enter crews al the an
! nual regatta of the National 4 ssociatiou of
| A mateur Oarsmen OF America.
| | do not express, nor have / expressed
| any opinion as TO the desirabiHty of es-
tablishing an American Henley, or gen.
eral intercollegiate regatta. There are
obvious difficulties in the way, and uoi
! the least OF these is the lack OF any gen
eral desire among American university
men for the establishment OF such a re-
gatta.

Now Jacob Schlessinger Is Wanted
in Guatemala for Swindling

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Jacob schges-
singer a commercial drutnmer, well known
in New York, is being sought by the govern
ment of Guatemala, where he is charged
with swindling. Schlessinger came here
about six weeks ago from Guatemala and
spent money freely around San Francisco $
TenderIoin. He said his parents gave him
a big allowance. Suddenly he disa ppeared
with q woman he had taken up.
By steamer from Guatemala it is learn
ed that he opened furnishing goods store
at RetaIpulen, Guatemala, and did good
business until fire burned him out. Then
he induced several OF his wealthy custom
ers to advance $4,000 to start him in
new store. Instead CT buying goods, it is
alleged that he fled with the money.
few days ago Schlessinger receiFed
warning that he might be arrested, and he

He contends that Doyle and Reitz are

AnsoTs retiI ement from the big league
win cause universal regret, as he is one
OF the ost popular players in the country.
He has teen subjected to so much abuse
in Chicago ever since the Brotherhood
war I'm $50, that life has become exceed

he is willing tc face the fire again, and
that Is why he win have n club of his own

Orioles, and in return the Senators next

ana by far the heavier hitter. James
