CROWN AND ANCHOR
A FORBIDDEN GAME PLAYER FINED £5 While Crown and Anchor cannot lay claim to the international popularity of “Two-Up,” it has-its adherents —any number of them. Sydney Montague Martelli thought it was such a fascinating game that he wanted to share its pleasures with all who cared to play ; so in an out-of-the-way corner of the racecourse at Ellerslie yesterday he set up his board and the bets came freely. But the police had reason to suspect Martelli of playing the forbidden game, so Constables Doel and Taylor kept their eyes open'for him. and surprised him as the dice were rattling on the board. This morning in the Police Court Martelli was fined £ 5 with an alternative of 14 days. ___ .
