The little volume has been carefully re- viewed, and but one exception to its general rehability is noted, and that is to rule 19 in the singie high five code, whicn read 19. In case of a tie, high woes out first, low next, jack next, then game, and lastly the first five spot. But should jack be made first hefore either hizh or low, then tho game is terminated, and high and low do not count. The jack never takes precedence before the high or low in high five, no matter at what stage of the game it may be *‘saved.’ In seven-up, however, if two players are a tie at six points each, and the desler turns jack, themsno is out, but under no other cir- cumstances. Aside from this discrepancy. Snyder’s vol- ume is a worthy one and will be found of great assistance to all new players.

Howard Rutherford, o 'E'risco newspaper man and a member of the California athkletic club, spent an hour at Tue Ber office last evening. He talked entertainiogly of the recent affairs before the California clubs, particularly on Dempsey's defeat at the hands of George La Blunche. “The Marine,” he said, ‘never was in such condition, while Jack was all awry. In tho first six rounds La Blancne rushed and Dempsey showed his skill as a ducker and jumper, but he never lost an opportunity to jub his hurly aotagonist in the faco., L& Blanche was ugly and showed a tenfency 1o fight foul, and he should have been called down in the seventh round.- Up to the eleventh round it was rush und slug by the Marine snd dodge and stab by Jack, After this Lo Blanche adoptéd the long range tac- tics. He made no headway, while Dempsey began to swing his right and was rapidly nailing the fight. 1in the twenty-aixth round he thought he saw & chance to knock the Marine ont. He pushed him into his corner, but o the surprise of everyone, b saved himself from being knocked out, as La Blanche inflictod some awful punishment, In the thiwty-second he went after him again. Ho fiddled the Marine to the rope: then, after a feint, let go his loft, following with'bis right on La Blanche's jaw, but the next instant the doughty Jack lay on the floor un inert mass. 'The knotty right fist of the Marine had collided with Dempsey’s nose with tremendous force, and the Nonpa- reil was s vanquished mau for the first time in his hfe.” Mr. Rutherford will remain in_the city, the guest of friends, until Wedoesday uext, when ho goes to Denver. snyder on Five.
