Plot
Muggs McGinnis practices for his boxing match the next night. In order to raise money, Muggs and the gang go to Nick's pool hall and challenge hall regular Harry Wycoff to a game of pool. Muggs has pre-arranged with gang member Danny to use special trick chalk for the pool cue so that Wycoff will lose, but Danny is so convinced of Muggs's talent that he does not use the chalk, and Muggs loses the match. When Wycoff insists that Muggs pay off his wager, Muggs hits him in the stomach and leaves without paying.
