U.S. Ambassador Taught Queen Victoria Poker
By HARMON W. NICHOLS
WASHINGTON—(U.P.) The most wonderful thing about a new collection of famous poker stories is that there is no copy by ladies.
Jerry D. Lewis, an old poker player who got up the book, refused to include any chapters written by women. As he put it: "An author ought to know something about his subject."
Quite properly, the book is called "dealer's choice," which has nothing to do with real poker players, who only play straight stud or draw poker time and again around the round table.
Jerry Does, however, give one lady credit, except that maybe up to this point nobody even knew she was from the weaker side. It was way back there when Spalding's home library put out a volume on poker. It was written by A. Howard Cady, and the "A" stood for price. Now her secret is out.
Fountain Of Information
This friend Lewis has a fountain of information. He recalls the time that President Grant sent one Robert Cumming Schenk to be U. S. envoy to England. Little did Grant know that his emissary was a bug on poker. Anyhow, Queen Victoria invited Schenk to her summer home for a hoe-down with the higher-ups.
The envoy worked it around to a point where he suggested a game of poker. The Queen thought that was a good idea. One thing led to another and Queen Vic wound up the evening with a bundle, in pounds and such.
She thought so much of the game and of the envoy from the states that she asked him to write a book of rules on poker. He did, but it got him in a mess of trouble.
is book  Schenk said
Good Advice. Too
In his book, Schenk said. "It is a great object to mystify your adversaries up to the call when hands will be shown. To this end, it is a good practice to talk a little nonsense, with the view to misleading your opponents as to the value of your hand."
Some folks thought this was no way for the U. S. ambassador to the Court of St. James to talk.
There were calls from all to the White House demanding the recall of our Schenk. But he survived the protests, thanks to the Queen. She let the word get around that she, as a beginner and early winner, thought his book was darned good poker advice.
