CNew York SUM-
Saratoga--Pat Sheedy was in one of
those rare moods last night when he
was willing to talk shop. He was moved
to 1t by overhearing the conversation
OF four young men who were airing
their knowledge of gambling. FINALLY
one of them remarked:

say, they do not know what big gam

ton. Well, one night 1 went into ono
of the gambling clubs there with some
friends Looking around l saw that p
baccarat was in full swing. LOOKING, al
the players l noticed that all but three
OF them were Americans. The play was
as high as any ever saw at that game
and one OF the Americans won before
the night was over something like 500
900. After 1 had been watching the nro-
ceedings for some time one of the
members of the company which ran
the house. came up to me, and. rubbing
his palms together, enthusiastically
said:
All, Monsieur Sheedy, you have no
gambling like this in your country.
You can. only see such play in France
and among F'renchmen- Is it not SUI
perb?'
1T is, indeed l replied. I never. as
you say, saw such play in my country.
but they don't play baccarat there. l
notice. however. that all the high gam
biing going on here IS being done bv
Americans. I've watched your three
countrymen over there, and haven't
seen any of them bet more than So in

gambling in France when my country
