The Gambler written and read by Harry Towb
' Warrington became the first, and probably the last, player to place side-bets on ' Blowsdes ' at our school. When his blood flowed high, ten or 20 cards were as nothing.
And his blood flowed high most of the time. Cigarette cards changed hands as never before. The hands in which they generally finished belonged to
Warrington. Everything was grist to his gambling mill.'
