Springs was anxious to try his strength

the attempt was not made at once was
because there was no heavier one in the

The Trustees to Decide What Is
Gambling in the Whist
Club.

"And the end of it is that Mr.. Tormey
will resign from the San Francisco Whist
Club" said Secretary Blehdon last even
ing. Mr.. Blehdon had been questioned
concerning the status of what he has desig-
mated as the tempest in the teapot of the
Whist Club "And he will take with him
from a dozen to score of the present
members. If they can start a new whist
in the even tenor of its existence. Twenty
or less from 200 Will scarcely be noticed. |
can assure you they never will be missed"
HAS Mr.. Tormey resigned YETI"
''No; but he has expressed his intention
of doing so and doubtless will. He feels
sighted because the club did not accept
his views on many subject" -
'That of gam bling, for instance?"
sNow, see here, there has never been a
bit of gambling in this club since its in
ception, Mr.. Iormey to the contrary not
withstanding. Ten cents point has been
the limit and side bets were never allowed.
Indeed, a provision against them has never
been necessary, since none of the members
has ever evinced the slightest desire to
make them. at 10 cents point man
might win or lose dollar in a month if he
played a good deal. In fifteen months one
of our members won nearly S., but he
played very steadily.
There never was gambling in this club
and there never will be. The resolution
that was adopted reads that:
All games played in the rooms of the San
Francisco Whist Club shall be under the abso-
lutte control and supervision of the board of
trustees, and whenever any gambling is in
dulged in it shall be prohibited. The trustees
are also authorized to suspend or expel any
member who, in their judgment, by acts or
conduct, tends to disrupt or injure the club.
Nv. oh cd tn
ton was because it would have prohibited
playing for prizes"
"Will this resolution prohibit the 10
cents corner games?"
THAT is for the trustees to decide. If
they call 10 cents gambling then the dime
a-corner game will have to cease.
"The fact of the matter is that there is
something behind all this talk of gambling
1t was to air other grievances that Mr.
Tormey rushed into print. But now l
suppose the whole thing will die out
hope it will
