The proprietor of a gamb ling house near Ber y Square ad mitted recently that he cleared $76, 000 out of these percentages alone. Theve is no difficulty obtaining admittance. Many baccarat houses issue a gilt edged invitation to men and women who are known to “like a game.” There is, of course, ho men- tion of baccarat on the cards, but the recipients of the invitations usually know what they signify. One woman, whose name is well known in racing circles, invites those she meets on the tur? and at her sporting club to a “champagne sup- Those who get the invitation know what it means supper is prolonged into game, whici lasts until 6 guests will s'ay to play. At many baccarat clubs now fiourishing in the west end women are welcomed, and in the small hours, af- ter the theatres and a baccarat the highest names, to these private houses for a mild “flutter.” On one night recently there was a fierce quar- rel between two women at a house in Bayswater, where ladies are en couraged to play.

BASEBALL SUN SHIELD Additions to Invention, tached to Player’s Cap Makes Fred Clarke, his device, and believes that he has a good one now An aluminum slot, about three-eighths of an inch in thickness, and about four inches wide ig attached to the upper side of the cap'’s peak A slit is made in the vizor to permit the gasses to dro; down when protection is needed. In the little metallic slot are the glasses mounted in a light but firm frame Just above the nose piece is a little elutch with which the glasses are locked in the case. On the upper edz of the rim of the glasses is a stoul spring, by which the shi lds are thrown into position when needed. A little lever on the outside of the meta controls. the glasses. CASE When the shield is not in use the glasses are hidden from view, and the player has an unobstructed view of the field. The moment a fly bali is hit and the fielder starts in action, one sweep of his hand will throw the lever releasing the glasees, and the strin; in the upper will shoot the glasses down into posi tion, and shield the player's eyes. The device can be attached to any baseba!! cap, provided the peak or vizor is of sufficient length.
