AN EXPERT BooKMAkER.
One In Havana That Puzzled a Chicago
Bettinu Man.

One In Havana That Puzzled a Chicago
Betting Man.
IF you want to see expert booilmak-
ers you should go to Havana" re-
marked a Chicago man. "They GER
tainly have their business down fine.
1 went to a cockfght in one of the
suburbs of Havana on a Sunday.
Nearly everybody in that part of the
town had turned. out.
with two friends I got seats close
to the pit. 1 had never seen a cock
fight, and l was interested. At the
edges of the pit several natives were
standing, facing the audience and yell
ing and waving their hands. I asked
one Of my friends, who had been in
Havana a short time, what they were
doing. He said they were taking bets.
Sure enough, the spectators were
shouting back at them, announcing
their favorites and placing their bets.
But the bookmakers were not using
ven a pencil. One Of them, I am
sure, must have taken fifty bets.
II wanted to get in on the game, so
I decided to bet So on a black game
cock that looked good to me. hand
ed over my money, but I didn't get a
ticket. l felt sure I should never again
e my money even If l had picked the
winner. Well, the main was fought,
and my bird o l watched the book
maker as he went among the crowd,
handing money here and there. When
he came to me he handed owe $40. I
was surprised, but he didn't notice it,
as he was too busy cleaning up his
slate. Finally l discovered through a
spectator near by who could speak
English a little that my bird had been
d four to one shot.
"How that 'bookie' ever kept all those
bets in his mind is more than lean
