Irish, Italians Dispute
Origin Of Forty-Five
BY DAMON RUNYON

IN ALL the years we have
been writing pieces ft7f'-tlle
papers, we recall few that pro-
duced as many letters from
readers as our recent essays on
"Forty-Five, a card game that
we had never heard of until
Ernest Tucker of the Chicago
Herald-American brought 1t to
our attention.
From all over the Atlantic
seabOard. from the Pacific Coast,
notably San Francisco, from the
Northwest and the deep South,
. from Nova Scotia and various
cities of Canada and even from
Nassau in the Bahamas, the
letters came and are still COM
ing
Wherever there is Irish blood,
and of course there Is Irish
blood everywhere on tins con-
tinent, some one took pen IN
hand TO chide Us on our ignor-
ance and TO patiently explain the
salient points OF the game.
1t is played extensively in the
coal fields of Pennsylvania, and
in the Ship-building towns along
the Delaware River and through
out New England. II enjoys vast
popularity in upstate New York,
as James Nj. Brahan of HooSick
Falls duly reports, stating that
Bill Carey, sanitation commits
sioner Of New York City and a
son of the Fails, IS an expert at
the game.
Mr.. Brahai feels that the
shades Of the immigrant clans
from EXford and Callow and
Tipperary and Down and Cork
must pity us for not knowing
"Forty-F'ive."

MIR. POLLETT says that while

FLYER would ever think OF
puSsyfooting about the game,
but on the contrary makes a
noise like thunder and if he sue
ceedS in splitting the table with
his fist, so much the better.

THE American Federation of

movement
The elimination Of George
Browne from one of the vice
presidencieS and from the ma
tional governing body. by oblique
methods, is a laudable effect, but
a little honesty would have i'm
proved the impression on the
public.
Browne was not denounced,
.repudiated or removed for cause.
Instead, the number Of vice
preSidencieS was reduced and he
was merely defeated for re-elec-
ton.
The press reports from the
convention in Seattle reveal not

Browne or Of apology 10 the
