SIPEAKING OF LUCK
A. Sportin Man Declares That It Ex -
is s Ouly In Real Life,
"The ol saying that `the MM.:, l`.I'C
against th guesser' is firmly bipieved iu
by nearly all gamblers," said a tin-rum:1
who prides himself Upon having retInt ed
betting to a mathematical formula, .
"The axiom is a good deal deeper than
most people suppose. Taken literally in
games of "chance, it is false; olpplied to
human nature, it is true, Suppose, for
example, that two men' pit.ch- pennies.
The chances for heads and tTtils are per-
fectly even, and it can make , no differ-
ence which pf the players does :t4ie guess-
ing. Where the guesser appealS to have
greatly th . worst. of it isin slice a game
as -faro o roulette. The effort to fore-
cast each turn is apt to unettle his
nerves. el e gets irritated and Idemoral-
ized, mak 8 reckless bets, pre ses• bad
luck and inds up broke. - In. fact, the
chief tidy ntage of a 'system' 'or gam-
bling is t at it saves nerve force. The
bets are p aced according to rule' and the
ii
player a the game ate on he same
cold, mee anical basis. In pi ying the
races the odds are seemingly , 'against
the guess Ts,' for the r ason t., at they
are influe ced by all sor s of hints, 'tips
and prem nitIons, most] wrong. It isn't
"DO yo believe in lu k?" flaked one
of the list tiers to the foregoing.
"That d pends upon witether ion mean
scientific urfrnan.
"Leek i something that doe.n't exist
except in -real life. The latei rofessor
delphia on the `.Mathematics 0 Chance'
aud Proved conclusively ther was no
such thing as luck. Afterwar he took
a dice box and attempted to de onstrate
e , fact to some skeptical fiports and
went- broke in eight minutea by the
watch. There is absolutely no reaion
why people should have streaks of good
or bad luck. i can demonstrate to you
ou paper that the thing is i possible,
and you can demonstrate to me by ocular
evidence that It happens every day. So
there you are.
"It's a funny fact, by the wa2?, that the
two principal 'systems' at Monte Carlo
are based on diametrically opPosite the-
ories of luck. One is called theinaturity
ot chance.' To illustrate: SuPpose red
trans up three times in succeskion. Ac-
cording to the system, the clr nee of it
appearing again is greatly dindi ished aud
grows less with each repetitili . Conse-

other is the 'svstem of runs.' Its votaries
hold that a color which has on ,e 'repeat-
ed' is apt to keep on, at least, -ve or six
tinie.s in succession. Each bran of cranks
proves -its case by the daily cord- kept

the testimony of a peasant, whO said that
one of the cows feeding in UM meadow
