By JOHN GOETTE

PEKING, May 13.-When Mar
shall Chang Tso-lin, Manchurian war
lord, is not directing military OPP
erations against the southern reds.
he diverts himself with nah jong.
This propensity of the marshal is
beginning to worry his followers
for he wants to play in long
stretches and has little patience
when mistakes are made.
Recently he wore out several sets
Of partners when he stuck by the
game for SO hours at one sitting.
According to local gossip, the mar
shall had bad luck and when he
player his I. o. u. for $50, 900.
While his close companions do
not charge Madshal Chang with
being a poor sport, still they oh
ject to his habit of demanding an
explanation when a play is made
that puts an opponent out. The
larger the score he has to pay, the
more vehement the marshal be-
comes. it is said.
Marshal Chang and his colleagues
do not play the game of NAH jong
which swept America with. its new
tangled conventions. They do not
strive for cleared suits and their
aim is to nah iong as quickly as
possible being satisfied with a low
score.
What runs their count up so
high, however. is the side betting
which goes on during a game.
Hundreds of dollars are bet between
partners as to which one will nah
jong before the other.
