Pride of Honolulu Takes His
Trainer Into Camp and
Teaches Him the Game.

Honolulu John Williams has al
ready made his place in the Tiger squa
and Trainer Harry Tuthill has been
eelipsed by the stalwart that Detroit
got from the Sacramento Wolves, as
the following from the Detroit Free
Press Of recent date win go to show;

Harry Tuthill, who long has pointed
with pride to his title as erlbbage
champion Of the Tiger sqoaJ, has met
his match.
After holding the crown ever since
he joined the club, Tnthin has been OBJ
liged to rclinqnish it to John D. viii
liams, the Hawaiian pitcher, who, II
Harry is, to be believed, is the best
eribbagc player not only in the United
states, but IN the world.
Williams learned to play the game
in Honolulu, where it seems 80 have a
vogue and he is a wonder at holding
the cards, discarding and playing. He
trimmed Tuthill the first seven games
they played together, more than Harry
ever lost in his life before, he says,
and has been hanging II on the demon
trainer regularly ever since he joined
the squad.
But Harry Know Casino.
Tuthill has avenged himself partly
however, by taking the Hawaiian over
the jumps at casino. The trainer eer-
fanny has the edge at this game, though
not so decisiyely as Williams maintains
the advantage at cribbage. Harry
claims to be able to remember the last
four, which is very useful thing in
casino game and distinguishes the
real ''big Lacquer from the dub.
This is not much Of a club for card
playing. There do not seem to be any1
bridge fends at all, and the poker game
hasn't been able TO rear its head since
the squad got to Gulfport. Now that
the veterans are gathering, Mark Hall
probably will be able to scare up some
action. Poor Mark is actually getting
thin and pale because there is nobody
to play the national game with him.
He doesn I care so much for the money
which he inevitably wins, by the way
but he certainly does love to draw to |
hands and raise some poor rnsuspect
ing person who hash I learned that Mr.. !
Hall always has the high hand when
the showdown comes. t.. ." -. ..
Hall misses AL Klawitter terribly. !
Last spring Albert was soft and GER
tain source of revenue to the Joplin !
curver. If Klaw ever won pot from
Mark nobody on the club can remem- !
Der such an oecurrehce-an il would I
have attracted enough attention to have
called forth much remarks. III 70
Made to Order. 49,. s.. |
The good natured German was of the |
type of player made to order for Hall, |
for he would try 20 force his luck,
while Hall stays out until he gets them
and then bets literally
There is something in Marks atti-I
tude as he sits in the lobby of the hotel |
and gazes on the other players that
brings TO mind the verse beginning:
"WOn I you step into my parlor, said /
the spider to the hyfi'
The Missouri expert knows that there
is money in the pockets of the other |
members of the club, which would be
his if he could only get them to "sit |
in Z and yet they stubbornly refuse to
participate in nice friendly game.
Its a hard life for good poker player /
to get on club where the boys wou't |
play anything more exciting than GIVE
