The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller, Damon Runyon, and this one, all horse players die broke. And to tell it to you, here is Broadway.

Thanks. Well, it is during the race meeting at Saratoga, and one evening I am standing out under the alms in front of the hotel with Sally Appleby. And the scene is as follows. Bloodway. Take a look at that guy.

Which guy? Which guy? Where? The one picking up newspapers from the street. I see him. Now what about him? Eh, it seems to me I know him. Do you? Eh, I do not know. He's a pretty shabby citizen.

No, I cannot place him. Eh, neither can I. But he looks for millions. Oh well, this is neither here or any place. Let us get something to eat. With that, Sally walks inside the hotel.

But I stay behind for a couple of seconds to take another look at the guy who is picking up newspapers and tucking them under his eyes. It seems to me that his face is familiar, but right then I cannot place it. However later I find out who he is. And what happens when I do is something I will never forget, and

I will tell you about it in a minute. And now back to the Damon Runyon Theatre and the famous story, All Horse Players Die Broke. Well, it is a try of something to eat, and I am once again standing outside the hotel.

I forget all about the old guy until suddenly I look over and see him stand next to me. He is looking at me hard and I begin to feel a little uncomfortable because I am sure this is going to be a touch.
