YOUNG F[EISGHMANN

Youthful Plunger Shows Up
When BOOkies Depart.

He Says.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-After having
been kept to his apartments for almost
ten weeks. william n. F1eischmann has
recovered his health sufficiently to per-
nit him to stroll along Broadway dur
ing the pleasant weather of the present
week
1t is no more than a coincidence that
Mr.. Fleisehmann's first appearance
came the same day that the shift of
racing took the bookmakers from New
York &c Washington. 1t is said by his
friends that Mr.. F1eischmann is perfect
ing his plans for the payment of the
S41, coo which he owed in the betting
ring at Saratoga when he so suddenly
left that resort last August
Has Lost Weight.
1t requires no more than a glance at
the young man TO show that the reports
Of his Illness have not been fabrications.
though many have believed that he has
kept himself under cover because of his
inability to pay his racing debts. He
appears to have lost thirty or forty
pounds il weight; his face Is pale and
he walks with much more perceptible
limp than Of yore-
HIS Downfall.
For several years Fleischmann was
one of the most widely known of the
young men who frequent the betting
rings of the metropolitan tracks. He
plunged heavily on various occasions,
and though he sometimes lost more
money than he could pay. his relatives
always aided him, and his credit re-
NAMED unimpaired until the disaster
which came upon him at Saratoga. This
season he was not often fortunate, and
before racing was old at tho Spa he was
beyond his depth. He took a desperate
chance to recuperate his losses. betting

After that race Fleischzaann took z
train for New York. and the next day
the bookmakers realized that he had
left no provision for paying his debts.
At first it was hoped that his cousin.
Mayor julius Fleischmann, Of Cincin-
natl, would help the young man out of
his difficulties. as he had done on other
occasions. This was not done. and all
