Deal From the Brooklyn Whist Glub. BY ROBERT H. WEEMS. Our whist editor wishes to call the attention to East's lead, at trick seven (7), treating & Jour-card suit headed by the king as & short one, showing excellent card sense, and such plays 8s these make whist what it 4y Trick 5—East leads another ronnd of tramps for the purpose of ascertaining from partner's discard which of his two suiis is the stronger. North discards f{rom West's declared strong suit, Trick 7—East here treats his spade suit asa short one, his object being to leave West with winning spade, if he has one, so that West may make any winning hearts he may hold. If North hoids up hisace of spades he would gain a trick. Trick 8—West's discard of & heart shows he must hold a winning spade or else hearts only. Therefore, at Trick 9 East continues the suit ar¥ East ana West make all the remaining tricks. The Ace, Queen Echo, Holding Four. In “Whist of To-day,” by Milton C. Work, fifth edition, just out, on the new question of the “ace, queen echo” it says: “It nas always been a serlous question with whist experts how in trumps, with ace; queen, to show the number in suit on partner’s lead. It is evident that winuing with queen and retvrning ace gives apsolutely no information as to the num- ber in suit, and that, even if & third round be taken out, the original leader frequently can- not tell whether .bis partner has another trump or not. In order to overcome this d'fi- culty it has been suggested that with four trumps the third hand on partner’s lead (from strength, of course) play the ace and return the queen. Statistics and experfence have convinced the writer that this isa winning Diagstie ww We would like to ask Mr. Work this qn tion: If the above play is sound why,we ehould mot be abie to reverse it as in ofher tromp-showing plays? For instance, fame holding (ace, queeu, two small) on partner’ call for trumps, to lead queen, then ace, to show four exactiy. It strikes us that one must be just as sound as the other. The risk of los- ing the queen may be a little greater than the other, but how much? ‘Showir\g Number on Partner’s Original Lead or_the Plain Suit Echo. It is & remarkable fact, but nevertheless true, that the great majority of whist-players do not draw any line between unblocking in a suit and showing number. Supposing you hold 5.4,3and 2 0f a suit and your partmer(the originai leader) ovens with ace, what card do yon play? Do you commence to unblock or show Number? 1t is impossible to block a suit with such g holding, consequently you cannot unblock, but yon can show number. Most suthorities that have written books on the game say When your partner leads Irom & four-card suit, and you hold exactly four caras, play the lowesi, and don’t attempt to unblock, We don’t think this covers the case s it should and, certainly from our way of thinking, not the best whist. We believe when | the originul ieader opens with any high card which proclaims four or more in suit, and the leader's partner having four, he should play the third best on first round, if the lead is fol- lowed by another high card, orii the third hand does mot attempt to_take the trick he should play second best. By this means you show number; at the s time you can un- block if the situation warrants it, but the es- sence of the play is the important information you give partner. Again, these same whist- writers seem to be a unit in. adyising players holding five cards in the suit that his partner opeus originally with a high card to play the lowest. We take exceptions to this also. We | maiches, and there can be no question that as think the third best should be played in al! cases; when the suit is opened from strangthi (four ‘or five card suit) the principal object is 1o give valuable information to your partner, and itshould be given before it Is too late. | Here is an example: The leader opens with king followea by ace, prociaiming a four.card suit. Second hand plays seven, then eight. Third hand plays two, then three—holding queen, tem, nine, | three, two, Fourth hand plays five, then six. What information has third hand given his vartner? Now play our way. Third hand on | ing plays nine, on ace he plays the ten (cards | in otber handsdropping same gs before). Is there any donbt atout the balance of the sult and what hand i. isin? The three cardsof the estvblished suit are more yaluable in part- mer's hand than the two'remaining with leader. dohn H. Briggs Again in Harness. John H. Briggs has begun avery practical whist column in the Sunday Times of Minne- apo is, which will be likely not only to extend the already wide circulation of that excellent paper, but also to extend Mr. Briggs’ reputa- tion as &« whist writer and analyst. The first issue of the department occurred last Sunday. It is devoted to the beginner. and is full of s0und advice to him, which many others who can no longer fairly be called beginners may also read With profit. Judge George L. Bunn. A recent number of Wheelock’s Weekly says: The appointment of George L Bunn to the vacant district judgeship caused by the death of Judge Kerr of 8t. Panl wiil be the cause of ‘warm congratulations from whist-players all over the country, who recognize that Mr. Bann has the qualities necessary to make an impar- tial and successful Judge, The appointmentis likely to turn his attention to some extent at least from whist, and to that extent there will be regret. We offer most hearty cungratula- tions on this well-merited appointment. Milton C. Work, whist editor of the Philadel- phia Evening Telegraph, pays the following tribute to' Judge George L, Bunn: His first appearance in A. W. L. matters was in 1893, when he wes one of the four that won the Hamilton trophy for Minneapolis. He did not, owing, to professional gugagements, play. in this city in 1894, but in 1895 he was very prominent as captain of the St. Paul team at the Minneapolis congress, Bince that time he bas been at the head of the St. Paul quartet in its many successiul a team captain and player he has no superior in the wor'd.
