 ! On complaint of the residents of ] Burlington avenue. who notified the police that about H5 young men were indulEing in poker game alongside the railroad tracks under I,hc Burlington avenue bridge, Ofli- Icors Henry Jeglinski and Thomas , Mccarthy were dispatched to the scene yesterday. Notice of their arrival, however, was furnished the .pastoboard enthusiasts by one of the group acting in the capacity Of lookout. and all of the players made their escape. An effort was made to pick up tho money, but In the scramble following the appearanc" of the officers 75 cents was left on ;hc ground. This was conhscatod by the officers.
 For some time past it has been the practice Of a number Of young men to engage in poker game each Sunday afternoon in this location, but the complaint of yesterday will probably result in a new site being decided upon.
 There are other spots in the city , %hcrn crap games are being held each Sunday. according to informa- ;ion available. but apparently nc complaint has been made to the pc lice department. It is very probable however, that such gathering places will be watched closely in the future and arrests made when gambling is !ndulged tn.
