 on the WharveS- in freight cars, in! Riverside park and in the woods, have evidently given uR poker ana tax, taken s,,so so game in seciusion and do not seem to fear police interference. as they play
 the game on the public sidewalks of8 the city. Not in the business section, where tra1ac would be liable to break in on the space occupied for the game. but down on that small stretch of side walk in Railroad avenue, SO called and adjacent to the railroad station. Here they can be seen by all going to and from the station. by those in au- tomobilas using the Croton-News Lon- don ferry. and, perhaps, by a. pohce-

Can any old timer at the game fna agfne darlSey leaving a game of crap while whites stuck by the game?

helmet knocked off by bullet.
Since the signing of the armistice
Covington has been with the Army of
Occupation in Germany. He landed
