Asked to Decide on Status Of
Poker as Game

Manila. oct. 16 CPl -- Meeting
with adverse results in the courts
in the prosecution of persons ar
rested OIL charges Of playing poker.
the constabulary authorities have
concluded that further raids on
these games would be useless eX-
penditure Of time and money until
the question of whether poker is
a game of skill or chance is de-
Cided by the supreme court.
The courts of first instance have
held that poker is a game of skill,
while the attorney general has
rendered an opinion that It is
game Of chance and as such Is
punishable under the laws.
Rrigadier General Rafael Crane,
chief Of the constabulary. calling
thc attention of the secretary to
the subject, says;
Since the attorney general In
his opinion of several years ago
held that poker was a game OF
chance and punishable, instructions
we're given the constabulary TO ap-
prchcnd and prosecute all persons
engaged in playing poker and
these instructions arc still in vogue.
However, since Judges have taken
upon themselves TO acquit persons
engaged in poker playing, there
seems to he no further need of the
constabulary spending time and
money in raiding these games, if
the men caught will be acquitted"
Steps have been taken 10 bring a
case before the supreme court in
order that a final decision on the
subject may be obtained.
