SEA-GOING CARpSHAKpS "Ooc" C^wfor* Could Sneeze and Hick Up Three of a Kind, Big games for huge stakes are the ? uU* when internationally notorious crooks get their victims together for a session at bridge or poker, " One will known gambler, "Dock" C) awford, was good company, had plcrtty of savoir fairo and wgs a great raconteur. The "doc's" specialty was the 'sneeze ahd pick up", coming up with three of a kind, which ho had been holding out, just when they were most wanted, ^n attack of hay fever, which tfye "Doc" seemed to be able to summon at will, would necessitate a quick dive for his hqpderchief. As compensation for this affliction, he was rewarded by holding an extremely ijjfrong hand just after the ensuing sneeze. Crawford took a trip to Australia with the Anson - Spalding baseball team and by way of securing expenses, while passing through Honolulu, trimmed the then Hawaiian King Kamchameha to a fare you well, 'The king was a confirmed poller fiend.and a sure take for* every passing artist with the "paste boards" who could put up "tHe front" necessary to obtain the entree to the Royal Palace. Just as Crawford was a past master in the art of "holding out*' so was another American player who gave the English "bookies" who wepe memhers the Albert club, at one time the second largest betting club in London, several lessons in the finer arts of poker playing. He was also known as "Doc," ' The "Doc" had a method of "holding ^out" that was ^peculiarly unique in our experience. He wore a carefully trimfned spade beard and a collar somewhat higher than is usual at the .back. If some modern Delilah had shorn the 'Doc" of .his hirsute appendage it would have brought about as equally disastrous results as those obtained by the Philistine heroine when ahe barbered Sampson. For under the "Doc's" beard was a neat little place of concealment for three cards. Hence by thoughtfully stroking it, he brought them down when he deemed the moment propitious. The collar at the back of the neck covered the flesh colored band necessary to keep up the clip which held the cards in position Until wanted.?From Everybody's Magazine. .*1 ?
