They are mow upon ex- When Should a Doubtful Trick Be| Trumped ? The iden we entertain about trumping & doubtful trick 1s in some respects difforent from the-textbooks. A few weeks ago we re- | | sponded to an inviation from the Lomitas Whist Club of Petaluma to give them s little whist talk, and we took for our subject “Whist Not Found in the Textbooks.” One of the various points we touched upon was | when to trump and when not to trumpa doub:ful trick on the first or second round of the suit. We asked tne members of the club to try our way. The following different situa- | tons about cover the entire grouad: | First—Having & weak hand inciuding ex- | treme weakness in trumps—trump the trick. | Second—Having great streugih in trumps, | six or more strong enough In trump ana lead & tramp—trump the trick. Third—Having st-ength in trumps (meaning by strength three high ones, such as ace, king and onie other; ace, queen and one other; king, queen and one other; queen, jrck, ten, etc., or four of any size) and also holding one plain | suit in your hand, established or worth trying 10 establish, pass the trick, and your partner is usked to draw this inference and govern himself accordingly. With many players, when their partoer passes & doubtful trick they always put them up for at least four trumps. This is radically wrong. Another | disastrous thing many partners Qo is, when you take a force by trumping a sure trick and because you don’t immediately lead & trump, they will otten go out of their wey to compel | YOU 10 trump again, generally smashing your hand, as well as their own, all to pieces. Fourth—No matter how many trumps you | hold and have extreme weakness in plain | sults—that is, absolutely nothing—trump the | first or second round. By the third round you | should be able to mark the winning card, and if not led the probabilities are that it is in | your partner’s hand, apd you would not trump | of course. We have often heard it stated that | if one player hasno long, plain suiz, but has four or five trumps, it is two 1o one that | his partner has one loug suit worth trying to | establish and would sdvise passing a doubtful trick, with the hope of getting out trumps for thatimaginary snit in partner's hand. We do not think this is sound. It is only one chance in three, one way of figuring. demand or call for a trump, lead, and . the player so passing says, Partnér, I will ‘take two or more tricks for theone I letgo if you Fifth—Passing a sure trick is a peremptory | tical Whist” by Major-General A.W. Drayson, fifth edition, and read the chapter (page 110) on “Trumps, their use and abuse.” Question of the Proper Discard. We clip the following from the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.of January 13: The appended deal, which appeared in the Brooklyn Eagle of Mons lest, was recently played at the Erooklyn Whist Club. 1t shows the value of & uniform discard from weakness, no matter which side leads trumps. The old English book-writer's play of discarding from strength on the adversaries’ lead of trumps has long been abandoned in this country, and is now generally regarded as a trick-loser by the experts of the day, Such statements as the above are mislead- ing and should not appear in & paper catering 1o the whist-players of this country. (We mean by catering, asking the whist clubs and whist readers to subscribe for it.) The whist editor of the Telegraph should explain what he means by “the old Engiish book-writers,” Does he mean Pole? We think not. Does he mean Cavendisn? Does ho mean Edmond Hoyle? Weglveitup. And, sgain, he says: “Discarding from strength on the adversaries’ lead of trumps has 1ong been abandoned in this country.” If “in this country” means partof Phila- delphia, we will admit it; but if “in fhis coun- try” means the United States, the Telegraph is away off. Our individual ideas of the dis- card, we know, are not far from the individual idees of the Telegraph whist editor, but to make such a broad statement as the above without any qualification whatever Is, to put it well, misleading. We recommend our readers to carefully study the Drayson system of dis- carding, which, in the writer's opinion, is the best system in use at the present time, and also to carefully read over Fisher Ames’ idea of the discard recently published in THE CALL. Our Whist Don'ts Not Gopyrighted. The whist don’ts published in these columns afew months ago and recently published in booklet form, for frec distribution only,were not copyrighted for the simple reason we do not will assist me a little by leading trumps at once, and if you lead through an honor lead your highestregardless of number. We would advise you to read a copy of ““The Art of Prac. believe in so dotng. The demand that we | have had for them from all parts of the United | States, Canada, and evenjacross the Atlantic, | shows that we have at least excited the curi. | osity of & greatmany whist-players. There | are very fow words between the covers of this | little book that are new or criginal—we lay no | claim to originality. We picked these little | “ti-bits” trom tM whist conservatory of others, arranged- them our way, and merely used our own time and tinfoil tomske the little collection presentable, and now allow us to pass them around witn our compliments without any copyright string to them. We will say to our correspondent what we do ina | whist way is ail for love of the game only. Grand-Stand Whist-Players. Milton C. Work, Whist Editor of the Evening Telegraph, after publishing s deal trom the St. Paul Globe, say: Mr. Bann also clivs an article from the Brook- Iyn Eagle and comments on it &8 fol. ows: “The allusion to the couper refers to G. A. La Vie, who Is known in the whist world the Brooklyn Couper by reason of his propensity for making grand-stand plays. It ‘is & curions fact that while all of Mr. La Vie’s coups which are published have been sound and successful, yet the EBrooklyn Whist Club records do not shew his score to ba near the top. The inference naturally 1s that some coups have not worked. It is nnfor tunate that these remain unpublished, for M. Ls. Vie's apparently uniform success will ha:d y tend to discourage a lar class of moderate whist- players who are walching for a coup in every and frequently fiad one that Is not there. We should like nothing softer than a challenge trophy match against a (eam of fonr coupers.” We desire o most heartily coucut in Mr. Buon's opinion. It is not the couper who wins the most tricks in the long run. A coup comes aiong poss:- bly once in a couple of hundred deals on au aver- | age. The player wno picks up each deal tooking | for a coup generally gets u score that inereases the plus of the others playlog his way, It is steady, couservative piay that wins. The man who rarely loses a cold trick is the man who ends the season ‘with the top score. Short Suit Whist by Val W. Starnes. A recent and one of the most valuable con- tributions to the whist literature of the day is “Short Suit Whist,” by Val W. Starnes, pub- lished by Srentano's. It starts out with the following text: “Individually, every card is more valuable when Jed up to than when led.” Mr. Starnes usesasa ‘basis for his game the old Englishleads and rejects the number showing piays of the American leads. A radical shors sulter would cialm that ur, | Starnes does not g0 far enough In his short snjt theories when he does not advise opening a snort suit wih a lower card than the seven. The chapters on tenace aad finesse are certainiy very flae and no'hing 80 compiote on the subject has ever been pubiished. To those who do not. belleve in always opening from their long sult and desire toknow when to open from a short suit and what short suits afe best o lead, this work will be es. pecially interesting. Whistlets. A member of the Trist Duplicate Whist Club of this City has got up a celluloia score-sheet and alsoa cellulold trump-record card. The advantage they have over the ordinary kind in use is that they can be nsed indefinttely. The whist editor of THE CALL reached Al- bany, N. Y., just in time to see the challenge match between the Columbia Athletic Whist Club of Washington and the Albany Club of Albany for the A. W. L. trophy. The match was won by Albany by & gain of six trick The defeated team is one of the few short- saiters left. “Doyou think they will get along nicely when they are married ?" “Iam sure of it. I took care fo find out shortly after they were engaged.” “How?" “Igave several whist parties and “arranged that they should play as partners. They never quarreled once.” Under the rules governing play for the Ride- out trophy a drawing was had on Tuesday lasi to determine which ciub had the first right to play the San Francisco Club, that ciub having won it at the tournsment in January. The result of the drawing places the “Com- muters” first and the Petalumas second on the list. Hereafter all challenges take rank in the order they are received. Whist Writers and Their Good Work. It is wonderfully strange what a hold whist s upon the people of this country as well as the otner side of the Atlantic. It isgiven more space in our mewspapers than all the other indoor games put together. It has u journal callea Whist entirely devoted to the game, published in Milwaukee, Wis., by the Whist Publishing Compeny, costing $1 s year. It comes from the press once a month, and each copy is a prize package for every lover of this scientific game. It is ably edited by that brilliant writer and whist authority, Cessius M. Paine. The strides tnat have been made in the past few years among the whist laity is something to be admired. The good work that is done in the da ly papers on the subjeet of whist is not generally appreciated for the reason tbe hardest workers in the field labor for glory. Could the Brooklyn Eagle purchase one article on whist from Rob- ert H. Weems, he who has done so much for the noble game through the columns of that paper and inoumerable other ways? Mr. Weems has never written a line for pay and never wouid. What has Milton C. Work done in the Even- ing Telegraph of Philadelpnia? It is simply phenomenal—a daily whist column, with news from all parts of the whist world, and nearly » whole page every Saturday. AndSt. Paul says, In the letters and writings of George L. Bunn in the St. Paul Sunday Globs, 50 many good things that we delight iu republishing them. John H. Briggs, no doubt one of the greatest whist-players living, is the whist editor of the Minneapolls Times. And Chi- cago—there is no city in the Union that ha done so much to spread whist as tne grest city by :helake. The Chicago Times-Herald and Iuter Ocean come out every Sunday with | interesting ariicles trom the pen of John T Mitchell, the father of duplicate whist end one of the best expert players in this country. What would the New York Sunday Sun be without its articles on whist from the pen of R. F. Foster, the great whist author and ad. vocate of short-sultism? Mr. Foster is ome of the best posted men in America on the subjest of whist. His heart is in the right piace, 1f his pen is not always. T.E. O.is, whist editor of the Newark (New Jersey) News, says many a brilllant and instructive thing that touches the spot. The Post-Express of Rochester, N. Y., has W. H. Samson as ediior, ably assisted by R. F. Foster. The Public Ledger of Philadelphia started a whist column about a year 8go to the great surprise of the whole country. The staid old journal had to come to it and is ably edited by Warren A. Hawley. The New York Times has fallen 1nto line, with John H. Stevenson, retired United States Naval Officer, at the helm. The Boston Herald hes E. C. Howell, Charles E. Coffin, author of “Gist of Whist,” has devoted & year of his time for whist—for love—in an Indlanapolis paper. The Even- ing Journal of Albany, N. Y., has come into the whist fold. Wheelock’s Weekly of Fergus Falis comes to us once a week with many good snappy whist articles. Tne only section of the country that seems t0 overlook their thou- sands of whist readers is this coast-—outside of our ieeble efforts and a few whist scores of & local iub published gecasioually in another paper of this City. The several thousand whist readers are entirely overlooked. Will Ahis always be so? ¥ hibition in their show windows. FOR TWO WEEKS ONLY!
