Trist and Ames as sec- ondary prophets were authorities to conjure with. Every hand had to be opened with the longest suit irrespective of passable value, and original weak leads wére unknown, or, if known, were ta- buoed. Foster had not taken kindly to the American leads and was heading a school which has been called the “com- mon sense game.” Howell proposed a game upon the foun- dation of invitation or short leads. The everything goes player had hitherto been despised by the orthedox for his singleton lends, and had been made to feel that a trick resulting from such play was unlawfully gained or was at least an ungentiemanly way of playing, needing apology. About this time a number of the whist players now prominent in the Pyramid Whist Club began a series of ex- periments, using Howell's game for a basis.. As they played it at that time the lead of ace or king meant nothing in particular, the queen was always from a short suit; the knave, ten and nine were generally led from short sults, but some- times as intermediates; the eight, seven and six were always led from suits of two or as singletons; the five was doubtful, either long or short, and the four, three and two were invitation leads, telling of trump strength and a snre re-entry, such a lead belng a practical command to one’s partner to lead trumps. Of all these leads that of the eight, seven or six pro- duced the oddest situations. Those were the days of the deep finesse, when third band holding the ace and-others would is sitting or standing with - FRESH AR AND FPUN COMBINAED ,BY A uoozfly STIC L efit.

Pinching the ends of the fingers now and finesge his partner's eight, seven or six the first time, win the second round with the ace and cheerfuily force his partner on the third round, to the complete mys- tification of his adversaries. About the seme time U. C. Street evolved) the “Street attachment.” This was to enable a player to tell his partner the number of cards held in the advershries’ suits upon their lead. To do this the higher of two was played, the intermediate of three (holding no honor), playing up the second time and down the third; and the low of three with an honor or of four or more, This system of leads was given several months’ trial, and after undergo- ing a number of changes was launched upon the whist world under the title of “Modified Whist,” the idea being that it was & modification of the long suit game adjusted alike for long or short leads. The lead of ace implied a running game; the king showed ace or queen in.a two only, or as a singieton; the knave was led from any other honor and the ten. or at the head of three or two; the ten or nine were the top of weak suits, In the lead of the eight, seven or six, the greatest change was made. These cards were no longer to be led from suits of two, or as singletons, but to show strong suits, worth playing for, without both trump strength and a sure re-entry. The lead of the five, four, three, or two showed a strong sult, four trumps and a card of re-entry. This game'the experts found: not only satisfactory, but con- genial, and with it began a career match- less in the annals of whist. It was real- ized, however, that the game had not reached its final development. Experi- ence was still to be the guiding han and every expert was on the alert to de- tect the weak points and to suggest remedies.
