CHOMMEDIEU A ai0d, 000 LOSER, Plunger “Piking’ *in Pool-Rooms After a Whirl at Hot Spri ngs. ‘ Steve L'Hommedieu 1s $100,000 loser, He lost ft in Hot Springs, backing the Roress and bucking the tiger. He is beck in this city piking about the pool- Tooms, putting down a small bet here nd there. He ls true to all Blungere. He ie following in the foot- traditions of ! etepe of Walton, Mike Dwyer, Riley | c Granpan and others whose careers on ‘the turf have been of the skyrocke! ecription, They make a brilliant dis- ‘ piay fer a time, but are bound to fall @evoner er jater, blackened and charred sticks. L'Hommedieu had at Hot serinns| ‘ell Winter, When he went to that fa- (ous Winter resort it was after » sea- @on of remarkable luck. No one will ever know how much the plunger was ‘worth when racing closed in the East. At Hot Springs he played the New Or-|? lenis and Cailfornia races in the pool- Fooma., Hie speculations were continued on the same lavish scale that made him the central figure of Eastern racing last ry @eason. $1,000 Bet o Mere Button. A thousap4-dotlar bet was not a “but- fon off his shirt.” @nd, when he thought particularly weil of a horse, he would wager as much as the pool-room men would take. He lost More frequently than he won. Then he ‘would turn to roulette. Ho lost barrels of money at this game. He had no method of doping the elusive Uttle tvery ball, and his money fairly melted. He had to rely purely on his luck, but this seems io have deserted Bim. He lost steadily up to a week ago. when he took a few wraps on himself end figured that he was $100.00 to the ead. It was a shock to him, and he im- mediately pulled up stakes and returned to New York. L'Hammedion was the pensation of | racing circies last season. Gireulated that he had obtained contro! of several jeokeys, and was manipulat- fing things to sult himself. He usually bet $5,000) tl His luck was 4 @o phenomenal that stories were freely It wae decause of suspicions that Dan- ny Maher was riding In his interest, that this clever young jockey was evspended at Gravesend last Pail, He completely with ving a peany paper ie Pe camenepams ey a few gaye, ago cond cabin.
