MISS HELEN WAGNER, DEBUTANTE. Another Pretty Maiden Who Will Make Her Bow to Local Society at the Cotillon. [DRAWN FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY THEO. C. MARCEAU.] Every Gard a Message. Sir William Pole, the great whist philoso- pher, says: The player is hound to bear constaatly in mind that evers card he plays conveys & message to his partneras distinctly as if it were written in a letter; and that1f_he makes this message untrne by care- lessness or unnecessarily violating the ordinary rules of play, even in sosmall a particular as Lhe throwing away of useless cards. he imoerils the jolnt Interests and renders'the great instrument of action (the combination of the hands) of uncerain effsct.

Barney: #-1,8,7,3 0-10,8,2 ¥ 9= 0—A, K, 7,95 La® , 10, 5 O 34310664382 Jack spades trumps; South to lead. The winning card is underscored. ‘The original play of tne deal is as follows: TABLE NO. 1.

South’s hand is of little value un- less he can bring in the ciubsuit. He is liable to lose one trick by leading low instead of ace, but the command of the suit may be of great va'ue to him. Trick 3. North can read the entire club suit. Neither adversary has called, since West has opened up with a plain suit and East has fol- lowed with the deuce. All the clubs under the six, therefore, are in South’s hand; and, since he would not have led low from K, J, 10 and so many small cards, his three cards above the six are A, J, 10. The K is, ac- cordingly, bare in the hands of ene of the ad- versaries. North therefore leads trumps to make the clubs if possible. As the J is turned South plays 10, and returns Q in the next trick. West plays the 9 for the purpose of mis- leading South into the iaea that the finalcom- mand of trumps is with East, and if vossible dissuading him from returning the lead. Trick 7. North, having exhausted the trumps, returns the C. 9, and South reaps the rewara of the patience and foresightexhibited by hisoriginal low lead. And the overplay shows a loss of six tricks.

Table 2. South at this table opens with the conventional lead of ace. Trick 2. The fall in the first trick doesnot show which hand is out, and South cando nothing except to conti nue his suit. Heleads fourth best of those remaining although this is of little consequence. Trick 4. North can read five clubs remain- ing in South’s hand, leaving but five cards to be divided between the three other suits. It isnot safe for him to return hearts as thead- versaries are in full control, aud he cannot tell whether South is out of the suit ornot; there is nothing whatever for him to lead trumps for, and he is driven to open hisnu. merically long but utterly weak suit of diamonds. # Trick 5. East perhaps had better lead trumps at this point as the heart suit i with his part. ner, and he h fair control of dfamonds. He has reason to believe, however, that North is strong in trumps, and dislikes to lead upto him. He prefers to retain the tenace in dia- monds and so leads to his partner's previously established suit. 4 Twiok G South loads Wis Jgwesk Glub for the double purpose of informing his partner with certainty that the clubs are all with him and inviting him to carry on the cross ruff. North accordingly out-trumps the turn card and re- turns nearts to force South. Trick 8. North again trumps high in order to make the queen if it isin South’s hand by forcing with the diamond. Trick 10. West trumps with his best trump in order to shut out any small trump in North's hand and prevent the forcing of his partner’s jack, The fall of the trey shows him the desirability of continuing with trumps in the eleventh trick. The remaining tricks of course fall to East, Had Eaest at trick 5 led & trump he would have saved a trick and made a gain of six over the play at the other table. Editorial Comments,— At the Trist Club rooms last Wednesday afternoon our whist editor explained why the fourth best should be led from ace and four or five ethers not in- cluding king of queen, jack. We also stated all whist-playes of the first rank indorsed this play. The above is & practical example of & low-card lead from elght 4n suit. Thisdeal came in play in President Barney's whist club in Providence, R. I, a short time ago. TRIST DUPLICATE WHIST CLUB. Last Tuesday evening the first tiventy-four of the forty-cight deals played in the Rideout trophy match between the Vallejos and Oak- lands was put into play. The average scores made North and South ateight tables were 150. Vallejo North and South made on the same deals 153 and Oakland’s 144. At the Trist Club in one of the hands North opened with ace spades, followed by jack — East dropped the ten and West the eight, South playing the king. South with four trumps and one spade deciined to lead a trump and came with a small diamond. After the deal was played a discussion arose in the *whist morgue” The North player made this state- ment, which is Correct, that there was noex- cuse for not leading trumps, from his holding he should always do so, and even irom three with an {unb)hh‘d suit in partner's hand. “Exceptions” were taken. Our advice to all whist students is never fail to lead & trump at that stage of the game, from four or three and oftentimes less. Whistlets. The forty-eight deals that were played in the Rideout trophy match between the Oak- lnnrd'- d ‘v;;ll‘:jol were the only ones that Were prasery om the sixth held at Manhattan Beach. b Last night in the rooms of the New York ‘Whist Club the American Whist chal- lenge trophy was played for for the first time since the adjournment of the congress. Three months the. winners are alloweda to hold it without challenge, The Philadelphia club was the challenger. Eeventeen other clubs have challenges in. This month a double number of Whist will appear, and hereafter the journal will ba issued on the first of the month ingtead of the brary Association will give a progressive whis or euchre reception and party in their room in the Mercantile Library building on Wednes- day evening, October 21. No one that re- ceives an invitation should stay away. Itis given for the benefit ot the library. We note that the erstwhile chess eham- pion (?) Mr. Thompson has seen fit to withdraw from the tournament at present going on at the Mechanics’ Institute. The only known reason for this “move” was the fact that in his first game with a young *‘green” player he was at least not getting the best of the play. We are confident no whist-player would act as unsportsmanlike in a similar case. William Mill Butler, auther of “Whistin a Nutshell,” is about to issue a new edition, and has invited our whist editor to assist in its re- vision. Itwould be a most excellent 1dea to wait until after the seventh congress. The laws will be revised, and the same should ap- pear in every whistbook. R. F. Foster, whist editor of the New York Sun, writes us that the Rochestér (N. Y.) Post- Express has started & whist column. In & postseript Mr. Foster advises us not to read “Boardman’s Winning Whist,” as it is tull of short-suit heresy. If Mr, Foster will read the Sunday CaLL's whist articles he will see there the position we take as regards “short-suitism.” PLUCKY VALLEJOS ONCE MORE THE VICTORS. Baturday last the crack team of four from the Oakland Whist Club went to Vallejo to bring back the Rideout trophy captured by the Vallejo Club in a match with the San Franciscos a few weeks ago. The Oaklanders say that no less than six battle-ships, headed by the Oregon and Monterey, prevented the capture of the trgphy, but the Vallejo boys without astruggle surrendered everything else, pothing was too good for the visitors, The president of the association refereed the match. Game was called at 2 p.x. Twenty-four deals were played in the afternoon and twenty-four in the evening. THE CALL will publish some of the deals in the play, commencing next week. The score was as follows: VALLEJO WHIST CLUB—OCT. 3, 1896. VALLEJO VS. OAKLAND. The following schedule shows the score di- vided in deals of 7: J Q@ g2 ik < B &l s oH B Deals..
