Get -£,52t,14 AMONG THE WHISTERS aS eh as piney ee “Last Wednesday night marked a new era in whist at the C. A. C. Safford’s system for pairs was used, and the new director, Charles W. Schnider, distinguished himself by making a plus of 22. With the prize! winner, Louie Korn, at Jersey City, for a partner, they carried everything before them. Bob Larner, though more at home at one of theGridiron Club meetings, made a very creditable score, as well as several members of the new whist committee, who are determined to have the C. A. C.’s Wed- nesday nights as conducive to good whist as the untiring efforts of the committee can make them. There is latent talent in the club, several players who have not paved whist for years showing in great ‘orm. The C. Bi. C. are looking up all the lit- erature accessible appertaining to the play of the Baltimores and Walbrook, with whom they have a large contract om hand for tomorrow night. Baltimore is in thor- ough practice and will bring over a strong delegation. They will put up a game hard to beat. The prestige of the C. Bi. C. en- title them to serious consideration from any twenty players in the country. They have entered an eight for the Atlantic aux- iliary trophy, and are in constant practice, preparatory for the eighth congress, to be held at Boston, where they will send two teams for the Hamilton trophy. Captain Prince has been untiring in his efforts to stimulate an interest in whist, and has suc- ceeded in presenting a formidable array against Baltimore and Walbrook—Low and Borden, Barrick and Carr, Bingham and Wooten, Dr. Lewis and Britton, Cole and Stephens, Harban, McComb, Williamson ard many others, who will give a good ac- count of themselves. They will miss the strong play of Fogg and Quackenbush, who are unavoidably absent. The score will be given in full in Monday’s Star. ‘The Trump Signal. If Lord George Bentnick could have fore- seen the base usages to which the “Blue Peter” has been brought he would have hesitated some time before playing an un- necessarily high card. The abuse of the trump signal has no doubt contributed more fost tricks to those using it than tho expert whist player has gained from its use. The tendency to signai on ail occa- sions with trump strength, has caused many prominent players to abandon its use altogether. This is equally an error in another direction. There are times when if every card played by partner indicates a weak hand you should ambush your trumps, if you also have no strong suiis to play for. The rule in many clibs not to signal on your adversary’s lead, as well as not to signal unless having three of your partner's sult, for fear you cannot put hira in the lead again after trumps are exhaust- ed, shows how this “king” of trick winners is “hedged about” with drawhacks. A hand holding five or six trumps, to the ten, or often the jack, without a re-entry in another suit has no right to ask his partner to give up his high cards in trumps; unless there is a corresponding benefit to be cerived from the other suits, the sacrifice ef one and often two tricks in trumps is bad whist. Your partner must lead to your call, regardless, as you have ordered thy play. and taken the responsibility. Some clubs qualify this mandate, the one excep- tion being if you have a singieton in an- other suit, you can refrain from leading trumps, or returning them if your partner has led them. There are many holdings where the good card sense of partners will save many tricks, and the machine player will flounder, with little hope of his part- ner being able to extricate him. How often has an apparently invincible trump hand gone up to disaster without any plausible reason for advertising the trump strength. Trump Showing Leads. The trump showing leads are all right when you have combined strength, but against players of equal strength it is a two-edged sword. The Walbrooks’ trump showing system of the lowest but one can be thwarted by making it appear that it is next to the lowest, by holding up the trey if the four is lead, and by holding up the deuce if the trey is led, making it appear that the leader has announced trump strength, when, in fact, he has opened low, showing weakness. Supporting Card Lends. Mrs. Jenks lays great stress on the sup- porting card lead in preference to leading from the ace-queen combination. , Too much importance has been given this, as well as the minor ten-ace, both in plain suits and trumps. The trend of the play at present Is always to play king with one guard second hand, in trumps, and on an original opening in plain suits also. Low, Wooten and Barrick claim that it is the supporting card (jack or ten) led by part- ner that makes the ace-queen so valuable, gets the king in a pocket, from which there is no escape if it should be on the right. You ask what percentage of times will t.is favorable position be met? Once in three times. Then, how does it offset the «mes it is held against you? You are courting a trump lead, and, having no suit, you can well afford to await develeopments, as your partner is the fourth player on the second round. If you have found an established suit against you, you take the cards of that suit from the enemy’s partner, and he must have re-entries in other suits in order to bring in his established suit. It often has the same effect as holding up ace of an eoxeraacy 8 suit. ae are made to draw wrong inferences, and consequently pla badly. They rush to trumps. which iw often followed by a stampede, when they find that they have been led into an am- buscade. The success of the short suit leads is to a great extent due to the di...- cult position in which the adversary is Placed. In trying to protect the high cards of his suit he commits the error in the trump suit that the short suit player is ma to have committed in the other ults. The nicest discrimination igs needed to get the most tricks possible out of both pene pantie: toe, far backward is as culpable as guerrilla warfare or faut bioiesian or any other e “flexible spine,” not in the capacit: of rubber: neck, bending in all directions, and calculating to a nicety the tactics of the enemy, placing the last cards, leading the thirteenth trump at tenth cr eleventh trick if meceseary to make the adversary urguard a king or give up the best card in a suit in which you have the next best. There are times when no system will help you ‘but your close attention, attentive memory to the cards already played and understanding the language they spoke to the partner of the player. When you have mastered this, then, and then only, will you be entitled to rank as a first-class player, be you a long or a short syiter. Mitchell classes all false carding as “whist atrocities,” and would not tolerate tt at any time. In the hands cf Duvall and Woeten, when timely done, it is a great trick. winner. How False Carding Won.- One of the best illustrations occurred in actual play at the C. A. C. in last Wednes- day's compass mateh. Wooten turned the 7 hearts, holding H A, J, X, X, X, Di, CLK, J, 7, 8, J, 10, 9, & North opered the D, K. Bast played D, J. South 4 of Ds and Woo-| ten West pleyed D7. North holding an es- tablished suit of spades, opened the king of spades on the second lead, second and third hand playing low, Wooten Played jack of spades N, with two suits liable to be trumped or the second round, with three trumps headed by K, and Q, led the king, which Wooten allowed to win, N, at trick 4, led the queen of trumps, which Wooten won, and clearing the trumps up. led the king of clubs to his partner, which South passed, hoping to keep Wooten from putting his partner in, and capture his sup- Posed diamonds. Imagine South's surprise, after capturing the second round of clubs. ard leading the ace of diamonds, to find Wooten with ro diamonds. Wooten trump-| ed the D, and led his 7 of clubs and dis- carded the three remaining spades. The jon ge of spades at trick 2 gained three u C. lead K, from K, Q, regardless of num- ber.) ° i A The Secretary of State, John Sherman, 1321 K street iwest. The Secretaey ‘of the Treasury, Lyman J.

Jchn Sidney Webb in the Century. ‘The “Napoleon of finance” of the region, and certainly the richest man there, is a brawny Scotchman known as “Big Aleck” Macdonald. He managed to make a large clean-up on his claim—said to be $90,000— and invested every dollar of it in other ciaims—part payment down, the remainder when the water came in the spring. Every one about the camp knew of Macdonald's speculations, and all were wondering whether he would become a bankrupt or a multimillionaire. The water did not come down early in 1897, and in some instances the clean-ups on the claims he had bought cr speculation came so close to the day of payment, as the story goes, the gold was paid over “before it was dry.” The death of two brothers to whom he owed $40,000 on a claim Is said to nave been his financial salvation, because the time of payment of a debt to a decedent's estate is extended one year by law, the gold commissioner acting as judge of probate for the time being. Macdonald is probably owner of an interest in about twenty-odd claims, bought on his mining knowledge and his wonderful nerve. He paid enormous interest on the money he borrowed, took tremendous risks, and final- ly won. In some instances during the win- ter of 1896-97 money was loaned at 10 per cent for ten days. —— 2 A Klondike “Clean-Up.” Jchn Sidney Webb in the Century. ‘The sluice boxes are made of boards, ma- chine or whip sawed, and roughly nailed up into troughs or boxes, and fitted to- gether like stovepipes. Cleats are nailed irto the last boxes, calied “riffies,” or, in bcred into the bottom boards. are then set up in line on a gentle slope, and the pay dirt is shoveled in at the top, ard a stream of~water, controlled by a dum, sluices over the dirt and . The weight of gold ts so great that it falls, and the dirt and ufseleas gravel washes off, the gold being caught upon the cleats or in the holes scattered about. Ir. the last boxes quicksilver is put in to catch the very fine gold. When the gold is taken from the boxes it is-called a “clean-up.” On the day I was there (August 17), at No. 30 El Dorado, $20,000 was “cleaned up” in twenty-four hours, with only one man shoveling in the dirt. Such wonderful re- sults may mean, however, months of ex- pensive work; but “when it comes, it comes quick,” as the saying is among the miners, as Offcred Her One of His Birthdays. -1416 K st. nw. | FOR EASTER!!
