But Mild Temper, Silence and Love for Game Are Essential

By JOHN The South Side Pinochle Club,

members today who do not argue over the game yet think pinochle is

a very grim and serious business.

Every Thursday night for 27 years the members have met, let down their hair, and played tough pinochle,

They started with 20 members. But the depression cut them down to 14. Now they're trying to build back up to 20. William R. Schulz—he's prac- | tically a neophyte, for he's only | been a member seven years—put down the pressing iron in his tailor shop, furrowed his brow, and said: “But the four men we take in | have to understand that pinochle | is an important thing in the life | of man.” That is one requirement. Another is that the new members must not | argue over the game. For the | proudest boast of the members is that in all the 27 years, there never has been argument.

‘Just Friendly Game’

The club's Otto Hoffman, said: “It’s just a friendly game, with the boys getting together on Thursday nights.” But he, too, knit his brow and | added, “We play tough pinochle though—understand that.” Never did a club have better attendance + than the South Side Pinochle Club, members believe. | One member, John Schilling, has | only missed one meeting in 25 years | —he had to attend a political meeting once. There's a 25-cent | fine for nonattendance. 12 at First Meeting The club originally met, for four years, at S. East and Orange Sts. | where it was organized. Since then, | it has met in Turners’ Hall. Twelve | members attended that first historic | meeting. Through the years, a set of rules | has developed, unwritten, like Eng- | land’s constitution, yet just as un- | yielding. Thus, the club meets each | Thursday—but only from the first

PIRATE’ ANGERS FRENCH, BRITISH

Warships Hunt Raider After Unexplained Attacks on Merchantmen.

(Copyright, 1937, by United Press) PARIS, Aug. 20.—Angered by Generalissimo Francisco Franco's failure to explain recent attacks on | foreign vessels, Great Britain and France sent warships out today to | search for a “submarine pirate” | which has attacked merchant ships | on the high seas and on crowded Mediterranean trade routes. ' The warships began a hunt from | Gibraltar to Suez and the Darda- | nelles in an effort to fix definitely | the identity of the raiders who have | attacked 12 tankers and freighters | in the last 13 days. The Anglo-French move inspired | the Spanish Loyalist Government | to protest to the League of Nations | that a “hostile nation—presumably | 1taly — was responsible for the | “criminal piracy now being aarried on along the coast of Spain.” Neither the French nor British intend offering protection to their | shipping in Spanish waters, and both have warned their nationals to | keep outside the three-mile limit |

But on the high |
