| Text | Nearly all the leading clubs in the West have costly fitted up rooms, where the members retreat to read or to amuse themselves as their inclinations may lead them. Visiting clubs or individual representatives of clubs are escorted to their rooms, and are made to feel at home. And what player is there who would not prefer whiling away an evening in company with the boys to visiting the theatre? The drama has few, if any, charms for the Simon Pure “tossist.” The rooms that we refer to are ornamented with photographs of noted players, local and foreign, and the tables are kept plentifully supplied with just the kind of literature that the genuine sharp appreciates. The Mercury wings its way every week to twenty and more such depots, and woe be to “Count” Sensendorf [sic] if he, by any mischance, neglects to supply the usual wrapper, whereby the paper fails to come to time. We are happy in stating, though, that the “Count” is a little particular in this matter, as no more than one indignant protest has reached him from those who play the game lime himself, cautioning and urging him “to do better.” Why, some of the rooms we refer to are fitted up splendidly and boast of grand action pianos, and have all the little etceteras and comforts found in luxurious homes. What is to prevent the East from imitating the West in this matter? Nothing that we can see or ever heard of. |
