he may leave them as four fives His

IT, j. is the recognized custom that all
Ties In dice games are decided with enc

The question has often arisen as "a
whether five aces beat five skies or any
other fives or whether five aces are
lesser in value than five deuCes. The
ruling seems to be that five aces are

is that the ace has no intrinsic value OF
