DRASTIC BILL MAY STOP CARD PLAY
 IN CLUBS

ALBANY, N. r., May 5.-By de. cisive vote, the senate today passed the Agnew- Perkins anti-oral bookmaking bill, which makes the present prohibit tion against book-making on race tracks apply to such offenses when practiced ''with or without writing" and also the bill repeating that section of the law which exempts trustees or directors of race tracks from liability for permit ting gambling at their tracks.
 A third bill making corporations or individuals keeping betting or gaming establishments liable for gambling, car ried on there with their consent, was amended.
 It is stated that by strict interpre. tion of this bill it might be construed to prohibit card playing in clubs, and the amendment offered confines the ap- plication of the measure solely to race tracks.
 When the two bills that passed to- day were handed down in the assemb- ly, Assemblyman Clarke, who represents the Gravesend district, where there are two race tracks, objected to the recep- ton. They will go to the rules commit, tee tomorrow.
