Fourteenth Siege of Euchre Ends In Altoona Victory
Pittsburg players Charles A. O'Brien and James Wilson faced Prof. George J. Luckey and William B. Neal in a long euchre series that stretched from Queens town Ireland to Altoona, with only meals and sleep breaks aboard. The 185th deciding game favored Luckey and Neal, while O'Brien called Luckey the poorest yet luckiest player and recounted a portly fooling tale about Fortunatus and refreshments. The voyage was calm enough to keep most players aboard, save for seasickness among the bilious few.
