People Who Knowing Nothing of Banks
Are Going TO Get Right Into Middle
Of the Financial Pool - Chief o Hare
Is Looking It Over.

Necessity has been vindicted as the
mother Of invention If yon ever had
any doubt about it just listen to this.
In one of the lourishing emperiums
Of the eity-not yet sufficiently extend
ed to be called "palace of chance y
notices were posted this morning an
nouneing the advent of new pool.
Possibly some of the readers of the
News do not know what ''poolo Is.
Some pools are to go swimming in,
but this is an animal Of another color.
It's a continuance by which lot of
people put considerable money into an
other fellow s pocket with the hope
that every one Of them will take it.
Of course the pool has some strings tied
to it and it is the strings that make
it interesting to the fellow who oper-
ates it. Pools have been common in
Kenosha, the most notable ones being
the baseball pools, a happy little ar
rangement to let a lot Of fellows bet
on baseball games, or at least take q
chance on the outcome Of them.
But with only four more baseball
games to be played in the regular
schedule the baseball pool is on its last
legs. OF course, there would still be
the handbook which has always -four
getting stiff legs on account Of the
coming Of cold weather and the tracks
closing down to let the snow melt for
the winter, the handbook is going to
have a little difficulty taking care of all
the calls for the Kenoshans to take a
chance, SO this new one has arrived.
Boy, page the Bank Clearings pool
It's the latest thing in the way Of
taking 4 chance. 1t is said to have
been approved in some Of the real places
in Chicago and with this signal ap-
prevail it promises to be popular in
Kenosha too. You may not know what
bank clearings in the city Of Chicago
has to do with taking chance Of win
ming a bunch Of dollars in Kenosha,
but you are just as much enlightened
as the people who are expected to par
ticipate in the pool. This pool works
like a lot of other things and It's sim
licity recommends it to the general
gambling fraternity. It is along the
same line Of the Sunday school boys
who just couldn't give up gambling
long enough to 60 to the morning
church school and they insisted on bet
ting whether the hymn announced by
the pastor would be an off or even
number. So the clearings pool is a
matter of numbers. It don't matter
much what numbers. Kenosha men are
going to pool their money to see which
one can come the closest to drawing
the last two numbers of the figures
which announce the daily bank clear
ances of the banks in the city of
Chicago
Simple enough chs All you have to
do is to pick two numbers somewhere
between 90 and 80 and if you happen
to pick the two figures which represent
the last two figures of the Chicago
bank clearings as shown daily in the
Chicago Tribune and then you get all
were not so fortunate in picking. Get
itg It is a great game Of skill.
Now if you want to go farther and
know just what it all has to do with
the bank clearings the men running the
game can probably enlighten you by
telling you that his winning from the
!" kitty" viii appear in the bank
clearings the next day and that you
can have the added thrill Of betting
on how much he gets out Of it.
Chief O Hare declared this morning
that he WASH t much Of a gambler and
that the game was new to him, but that
he would look it over and see whether
or not it came under the schedule of
q Approved chances in Kenosha. He
intimated that he regarded the game
as safe for the investor as the average
hand book or baseball pool.
