ARMORED SUITS FOR
PIRATES OF PITTSBURG

Manager Fred Clark of the Pittsburg
Baseball club made a protest to Presi-
dent Puiliam against the armOr worn by
Catcher Bresnahan while doing backstop
duty. Bresnahan had the same shin
guards when he was practicing with the
Giants at Chutes park and they are moth
ing more than the protectors for the legs
which have been used in cricket games
for many years
But Clark thought they interfered with
the baserunner while trying to score and
wanted TO have them barred from base
ball Pulliam decided against the Pitts
burg manager and now Clark is going to
get even with the Giants for using such
protectors
New York will appear at the Pittsburg
grounds June Is and Clark is getting
ready a full suit of hammered steel ar
NOR, which ne will spring on the offend
ing New Yorks when they reach the dia-
mond. He hopes to make his protest so
prominent by his innovation that the
league officials will have to take cogni-
zance of the question and legsate the
shin-guards out of existence. If neces-
sary he will equip his basemen with the
steel leggings so that they will have lit
tie fear of the sliding baserunners spikes

the team in the new togs with breathless

THE FALL OF DRAW POKER

1.-The game of draw poker" said the
man from Boston to a New York Sun
reporter. lis one Of the few human in
situations that 1 have come to regard
with veneration.
1T was on the Mississippi that I. the
scion of a Puritan family, first learned
the beauty of blind obedience to a well
demonstrated principle, for it was
borne in upon me irresistibly on several
occasions that the laws of draw poker
were founded on the eternal truths of
mathematics and fair play and could
not with impunity be monkeyed with.
There and then 1 discovered that DISC
bedience to an established law is al
ways unwise and often unsafe.
x x
so far as 1 know and believe this
reverence for the established order of
thing still obtains largely in the west,
where the eternal verities are enforced.
sometimes with heavy penalties. In the
lawless east, however, the fundamen-
tal principles of draw poker seem to
meet with as seant respect as the West
minister catechism.
I'm my own beloved Boston, 1 grieve
to say, the misbegotten 'szeeter' is al
lowed to ravish the pot from the holder
of the threes, while in goddess Gotham
l find fantastic tricks played with all
the rules and regulations of the game.
In consequence draw poker as she is
misDiayed in many circles has become
sport fit only for children and the fee
bic minded.
Il am ungallant enough to believe
that much of the decentralization that
exists is due to feminine influences. In
Manhattan women beguile themselves
into the belief that a poker game is a
bargain counter where enormous prof
it's are to be made by those who are
quick enough to seize them.
This accounts. | believe. for the fact
that no woman playing poker will play
in her turn, but will assert what she
believes to be her rights, regardless of
whether or not the preceding players
have had their say.
More than that, no woman's intellect
is equal to the strain of believing that
the personal equation has no place in
the operation of the law. If she puts
money in the pot by mistake she not
only believes that she is entitled TO take
ii out. but she does actually take it
cut, no matter what may be said to her.
And since mere man is prevented by
the conventions from using physical
violence in such cases, it follows that
draw poker cannot be played when wo-
men sit in. There may be exceptions,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-06-09

perhaps. I do not know whether there
are or not.
LAS nearly as I can Judge. there arr
as many women in NeWe York who ST
in at what are called poker games as
there are men. In consequence I have
found very little poker in New York.
I'm place of it the people generally
play a succession OF IaCkpots that may
perhaps be called a variety of poker
and they play it with calm indifference
TO the principles Of the game that is al
most maddening to one who knows
what these principles are"

ANY hand may be called a hand
when it's a house rule and you needn'
go crazy. You can go away and get
drunk and forget 1t. But 1 struck the
limit last night
IT was invited to a friends house IN
Eospitable Harlem, and found on enter

he was just making up a game OF p0-

came in.
ITO my amazement they were also
asked to join the game, and quite as {
matter of course they sat in and tool
chips. OF course I couldn't say any
thing, being a guest and a stranger
but I wondered nightly.
Then, when I picked up mf frs

then came a nine and a ten.
1T was too much for me. I sat stil
and saw one of the other players take
the pot on two pairs. and after il was
over I asked what sort of q hand had
