Such Things They Say of
Gambling in This No
Mean City,
BY DOPEY JOE
Times Special Writer

T AM sitting in a hotel lobby
L where I am spending time
these days since one and all of the
bookie shops is closed by Mike
Morrissey and up comes char
acter I would just as leave not
have seen.
But since this party is very
tough customer, indeed, I says,
good morning, pleasant-like, and
he pulls up chair and says to me.
like this:
Listen" he says, cts TO 5
in this mans town that Chief
Morrissey's lid he put on gam
bling is a bit cracked. 1 am
talking only half-hour ago to a
party who operates a bookie joint
and he tells me that this after
noon they will be taking bets in
the basement of a big downtown
hotel.
Furthermore, he says, cts a
cinch at to 5 that they'll be
taking bets in a certain place on
N. Illinois-st, where the opera
tors have plenty of potatoes to
pay off with.
ATOW I am by no means sure
IN that what this character tells
me is true, but at the time I mods
and agrees with him and says that
I also hear these places is oper-
ating, because this character is
known at times to have a violent
temper when people say it isn't
So
And I might tell you further
he says to me that I personally
know that they'll be shooting craps
not very far from the City Mar
ket and the police will not stick
their noggins in at ALL"
Nov you and me-" he says, lis
going to saunter down to this
craps game and place a few bets
on the roll of the dice. You have
the money and I will have the
luck"
AS I says, this character is
known to get out of hand very
easy indeed when he is crossed,
and so I forgets my date with
that blonde doll, folds my news
paper and saunters out.
That's all I know, just what this
character says.
