Comment	The article in the Newark Daily Advertiser begins with a brief summary of a game between the Empire and Eagle Clubs of New York, noting that, "The game [the Empire - Eagle game] consisted of 21 aces and 3 hands out, all out."  This sentence immediately precedes the above one sentence account of the Newark - Oriental game, adding further evidence that the Newark game was not played by New York rules Edit with form to add a comment
