HORRORS! HOOP-LA
is GAMBLING GAME
Don't Know What it is ? Well, At
torney Generals Department
Had to Look it Tn.

ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 27.--Attorney-
General O'Maliey to-day advised the
commissioner Of agriculture that the
game known as ''hoop-ia'' al county
fairs lis gambling, within the meaning
OF section $40 OF the agricultural law.
This section of the law provides in
general way that persons in charge oil
agricultural fairs shall not permit any
gambling game. or game of chance, to
be carried on within the grounds.
When the request for an opinion on
the matter came In, many officials In
the department of agriculture and the
attorney generals Office were at a loss
to know just what the game OF hoop
IL" was. An investigation by the de-
partment of agriculture, however. re-
vealed that the game consisted OF
throwing hoop at a block OF wood
in an endeayor to encircle the block
with the hoop.
In previous opinion the attorney
general held that the game OF ringing
knives and canes at County fairs WAS 4
game or skfT1 and not gambling. be-
cause the canes and knives were Inn
movable and therefore within the con-
troll of the player. But the game OF
'.hoop-la" cannot be cIassed as game
OF skill. because OF the almost certainty
of the players failure to ring tt4
block.
Agricultural associations which per-
nit such reckless gambling games N
these at fairs are In danger OF forfeit
ing their rights to any State moneys
for fair purposes.

money, in a peculiar way.
Blake came To New York few
days ago without a cent. but with a
fear that he might get work. He
described himself as an eccentric CO.
median and received an offer for a
job at Sabin Rock. He was to re-
port yesterday at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Night before last he cursed his hard
luck. for he hadn't a sou and couldn't
walk to New Haven in time to get the
position.
He fell asleep at a doorstep. hold
ing in his hand his worn straw hat.
When he awoke at o'clock in the
morning he found that he had in his
hat 1926. 1t was more than enough
to take him to New Haven.
People who had passed him thought
he was a poor beggar and dropped
coins into his hat.
All of which explains how work

WASHINGTON, Aug. a7.--An order
issued to the effect that Congressman
Goldfogle. OF New York, be cut of

In no danger of extinction.
Congressman GoldfoEle has been re-
auesting passes. often giving the ex-
cuse, according TO the Treasury De-
partment report, that he had a sick
relative aboard the incoming vessel
The Treasury Department became
interested and had the congressman
Swallowed. He requested pass the
other day, giving the usual excuse. A
man In gumshoes was after him. The
congressman was seen to greet one
whose illness appeared to take the
