NEW YORK GAMINS
ARE INVETERATE GAMBLERS

If there is any youthful game or
sport which the gamins of the East
Side couldn't turn into a gamble, it
hasn't been invented, says a New
York paper. Here is how the young
hopefuls Of the bowery and adjacent
thoroughfares spin tops:
A circle, similar to that used in
playing marbles. is chalked on the
pavement. Within this circle each
player places a penny. Then each
player attempts to knock one of the
cents out of the circle with his top
II he succeeds, the penny is his, and
he gets another try. If he fails, the
next in order takes a try. and SO or
around the circle. 1t requires an ex-
pert top spinner to flip a coin out OF
the circle, but 1t goes without saying
that many of the boys are experts.

RECORD YEAR FOR
ANTARTIC EXPEDITIONS

Present year promises to provide
a record by the number of its Antar-
tic expeditions. To those already an
nounced must be added the British
expedition now being organized by
DR.. A. Forbes Mackay, who will be its
leader. His intention, he explains, is
not to attempt to reach the South
Pole, but to map out the coastline of
the Antarctic continent to the south
OF the Pacific ocean. The region to be
traversed extends from Graham's land
to King Edward VII land, a distance
of some 1000 miles along an entirely
unknown coast which has never even
been sighted. Ships are prevented
from getting near by great fields of
ice and Mr.. Mackay's opinion is that
the only way to explore the coastline
is by working a route round the ice
which fringes the coast.
