A aame Of Poker ln LouIayIlIe.


louisville Cor. Philadelphia Prtss,
But poker is the true Kentucky game
Nearly all the fashionable clubs play
with limits that ara only measured by
the players pockets. Eli Marks, Sam
Brown, and o few other well known
sporting men have a game they call
stud-horse poker. Four cards are turned
face upwards on the table and one Is left
face downward. The blufing is done
with the card that is concealed.
A short time since the little
party were assembled in their room
on Fourth and Jefferson streets. 1t
was growing late, at the rate" was in
cfeasing as the time went by. II had
raised to 1925, call $685." when, after
several raises had been made, there was
about 81, 600 in the pot. All were out
except Brown and Marks. Brown had
exposed king, queen, ten and tray, with
the card that was concealed, which WINS
king. Marks had pair of deuces and
an ace and king exposed. Nobody
knew what he had concealed Brown,
who knew that II he didn't make
big bluff Marks would, threw
down $1,000, and waited with
the characteristic phlegm of his pro.
fossion for Marks response. Without
moving muscle Of his face, Marks
showed up 81 500, and said stolidly: ~
90 your $1,000 better" Brown gave
him one searching glance. Not a tremor
could he discover in the passionless face.
II was like bronze statue, so far ex.
preston was concerned. "You can
have it, said Brown doggedly, and
Marks reached down the 80, 500, and
then turned over the concealed card. II
was four-spot He had won tho
money with pair Of deuces, and had
run out pair OF kings.
