Washington. D. c. May 12.-Perhaps
no oth~r game in the history Of card
playing has taken sch hold IN society
In such a short time as has bridge
whist Twenty years ago it had not
been introduced either in England or
America 1t existed only IN CONSTANT
nople and in parts Of Russia Today
one can hardly go anywhere in the civ
ilized world without encountering the
game In fifteen years IT has risen 10
a prominence enjoyed by no other game.
When the craze first began, everybody
thought it would be like other fads,
last year or two, and then be forgot
ten. But there is yet no indication Of
q decline IN the interest in bridge. On
the contrary, the game Is gaining new
devotees every day. Even automobiles
are now fitted with tables so that their
occupants may indulge in q game while
bowling along the highway. Trips from
New York to Palm Beach have been
made for the sole purpose Of finishing
q series of bridge games.
Originated by Turks.
The story Of the origin Of the game
is full OF interest. Its infancy was
spent among the Turks, who play it
From Constantinople it emigrated to
Alexandra and the Riviera. In 1880
II journeyed TO Paris, where it became
popular as desert concluding a serious
meal of whist. being played as a relaxa-
ton after strenuous sittings at the
whist table. |
An American learned the game in
Paris and brought it to this country
in time for one Of the large congresses !
Of the American Whist league. All of

Money an Excuse
Most men object to their wives play

they themselves are frequenters of the
green covered table. The story is told
OF one woman whose husband was very
insistent that she should never be guilty
of playing for money. Yet upon one
occasion she did play fer money and was
so interested in the game that she got
home only after her husbands dinner
hour. His righteous indignation knew

1t is usually for one or five cents a

stakes are five dollars. 1t is said that

rather a poor player. One who was re-
garded as a good player. on the other
hand, lost $500 in one week. A few
years ago there was a game at Saratoga

He declared at a conference of party leaders here that unless this action is taken there would be an independent ticket in the field next. fall that would draw so heavily from the Democrats as to ensure the success of the Republican ticket des- pite the unorganized condition of that party at present.

Gaiser went we'll through the nine rounds, being ineffective in but one inning, the second, when the invad- CTS scored all their runs.

 P Upham, the not~much worked long man of. the Mechanics, was on the point of being whistled for from the bench by McCann quite often, but he stuck to the job, and with gilt edged support, went the full route.

ly. Before the Jeffries fight, Lang ford bewailed the fact that Jeff was going ito kill that negro Johnson" before he got @ chance to do the job.
 There is no question that Langford could give Johnson a run for his money. In Boston a few years ago Langford gave Johnson a terrific argument. Johnson beat him up in the first few rounds and then Lang ford tore in. For the other ten rounds Langford had Johnson stalling and hanging on for dear life, though Johnson outweighed him 50 pounds.
 Since that time Langford has in creased his weight to fS0 pounds. He declares he will follow Johnson all over the world if necessary to make him fight. Only few months ago in Baltimore when the negroes met in a negro club Langford took. off his coat and offered to whip Johnson on the spot. Johnson did not fight.
