Decision in British Case In. |? terests Devotees of e London.--All poker players and the proprietors of hundreds of clubs which exist solely to cater for en-|3 thusiasts for the game, are interest- ed in a legal decision just given that a poker debt is a gambling transac. tion and therefore not recoverable at law, This was the ruling of Judge Har graves at West London County Court, when William Howard Fish- er, owner of the Dorain Club, Church street, Kensington, sued Mrs. Nora Catherine James, $55, lost in playing poker at the club. Craze for the Game The craze for the poker has spread to such an amazing extent since the war that scores of clubs have been opened in recent years to exploit the vogue; but it is not ex pected that the legal decision of Judge Hargraves will cause a single one of these establishments to close its doors. "The decision does not come as a surprise, nor does it cause much concern," said the proprietor of one of the clubs to a Daily Express re- presentative, " We are quite con- tent to carry on without being able to go to the courts to recover un- paid losses. It is seldom that a debt is repudi- ated." Women are the chief patrons of the poker clubs. Professional 'wo- men gamblers have been deserting bridge for poker in increasing num- bers in recent years, and other in- veterate card players, particular- ly in good social circles, have fol- lowed sul.t It was the decline of the popular- ity of bridge that caused the fam ous Almack's Club to shut down, Women Players. ' There are hundreds of women {in London now who spend the great- er part of their lives playing poker. Play usualy starts early in the af- ternoon, and in some clubs 'the sit- tings last all through the night with short inervals for refreshments . There are poker clubs to cater for players of every class of society. The stakes amount to hundred of pounds in some of the establish- ments in Mayfair, while the game can be played in the suburbs for shillings or half-crowns, Many householders are making a' com- fortable addition to their incomes by turning one or two of their rooms into a poker club. The legal position of poker clubs has never been clearly defined. Scotland yard issued an official statement in June, 1921, pointing out that proceedings can only be taken to stop poker-playing if the ganre is played in such a way as to involve a breach of the law re- lating to gaming houses. FURTHER REMAND IN MURDER CASE St. Catharines, Ont., Feb. 28.-- Arthur Grimes, the youthful farm- hand charged with the murder of Mrs. Jamey Stewart of Grassies, appeared before Magistrate J. H. Campbell yesterday and was again remanded until Monday at the re- quest of Crown Attorney FE, H. Lancaster, 'without any evidence being taken, T. P.
