merely for sport, with no consideration
for the money at stake. Twenty years
ago gambling f1ourisned in different
sections of the city There was no ,iif-

and raids were almost unheard of. The
| doors OF the gambling houses were
practically wide open and in nearly
every instance there was an unwritten
gamblers law calling for fair play.
This applied to race track betting as
well as other forms of gambling and
few men who lost money on horse rae
ing or cards ever had recourse to law
to recover unpaid gambling debts.
Among the biggest gamblers this was
a valuable asset, as the reputation of
being square" gambler brought
desirable patronage. Among such men
Johnson had a reputation of being a
tremendous plunger. 1t is recorded
that In a single day at the Belmont
race course three years ago he won
more than 100000. Like all such men,
however, his income was precarious
and while one week might find him
worth half million the next might see
him forced to borrow money. No matter
what rebuffs of fortune he met. his
word was never compromised, and so
