L H. “Change Your Suit.” PROPOSED BY MAJOR-GENERAL 4. W. DRAYSON—CONCLUDED. Having considered the edvantages of this system, I will now refer to its probable disad- \ vantages. Iwillsuppose (hat my partner has | advanced so far as tospesk of the present con- ventional “signal” as “Change your suit to | trumps.”” He sees me play this “signai,” and | he holds the iosing trump, the better trump | 7d. Is my part- ner, if a reasonable player, likely to conclude | that I wish him to lead his losing trump, or | will he consider that my signal means “Change your suit”? Again, supposing the two remaining trumps are neld, one by my partner, the other by me, and 1 ask him to change his suit. Is he likely to think I'wish him to draw my trump? or will he accept my intimation that he is to change to auother suit? Mistakes might hap- pen by such means, but I do not think they are likely—at least with an intelligent player, when the “ask for trumps” has been altered to “Change your suit” (to trumps). Thus at the early stage of the play of ahand I suggest that the playing an unnecessarily high card means ‘‘Change your suit to trumps.” When, however, the trumps have all ‘been played, or when only one or two re- main in, and when the play of &n unncccessa- | rily high card cannot mean “iead a trump,” | then the play of an unnecessarily nigh card means “Change your suit.” I feel convinced that if two players ac- quainted with this system played with equal cards against two otners unacquainted with it, there would be a considerable percentage in favor of the former over the latter. | This is not the intreduction of a mnew | conventional signai, but merely increasing the powers of onie at present in use, and which is now rather cramped aud arbitrery in its meaning. When whis: piayers become accus- tomed to say, “You asked me to chsnge my suit to trumps,” instead of saying “You sig- naled for trumps” I think the system will be found practically useful. A player vow might suy: *You signaled for trumps when they wore all out. What was I to understand by that?” | If he said, “You asked me to change my suit to trumps when they were all out,” he would not ve likely to ask what to understand by that, for trumps being out of the question must be cousidered out of the demand, and “Change your suit” can alose be the meaning of the play of the unnecessarily high card. When winning trumps are led by your part- ner, the present conventional system of in- timating thut you hold four in the suit, by playing the lowest butone, followed by the lowest, would still be foliowed without any | chance of confusion. The play of the unneces- sarily bigh trump would—if we kept to thelet- ter of the principle—mean change your suit to trumps, &s the first meaning; as, however, trumps were being led, the piay of the un- necessarily high card in trumps could only mean that the player held four trumps at least. ‘When a player is leading winning cards and his partner indicates that he wishes the suit changed, and when all the trumps ere out, the player wouid at once use his judgment as to whether he should continue his suit or change it. If the player held enough winning cards in the suit to win the game out of his own hand of course to change would not be desirable, so thata responsibility rests on the player asking for a change of suitas great as now rests on the player “asking for trumps.” This responsibility, however, does not diminish the value of the signal to “change your suit” when trumps are out. 2 When a player holds two otber suits besides that which he is leading, and trumps being out, the signal to change suit may leave him in doubt as to which of the other two suits to lead. A careful and observant player, how- ever, is not likely to make an error, and his partner’s signal means “‘change the suit,” | | | being in the adversary’s h ) anything is better than continuing as you are | playing. | T T A DEVELOPMENT OF THE CALL FOR TRUMPS, A4S | ECHOES FROM GREAT WHIST EXPERTS. | The following deal at whist was played in the Trist Club rooms last Tuesday nignt: DEAL NO. 2.

Fisher Ames’ comments on the play: This hand is oue in which the long suit system of leading the fourth best gains tricks. The short suit or *‘Howell Game’” would jead the 9 of hearts as the “top of noth- ing,” and his partner would have no clew to | unblocking. North would be unable to bring in his last thre¢“Yearts and East and West would make three diamonds. Trick 2—South begins & trump call. Trick 3—South can count North’s hearts and | unblocks by throwing ihe jack. Trick 5—Easi's cover is perhaps question- able, but it makes no difference. It is, how- ever, sometimes well 1o cover to promote medium cards in partner's hand. Thus, if West had had another guard to his ten spades it would be the master card on third round. By his unblocking piay South can put his partner in in hearis and enable him to bring in his suit. Vallejo Gets the Rideout Jrophy. A little over a year ago a few whist enthu- siasts ob Valiejo got their heads together and formed a whist and chess club, and to-day they are the happy possessors of the Rideout Trophy, which represents tre cuampionship of the Pacific Coast Whist Assoctation.
