MINNEAPOLIS NOW LEADS.
ST. Paul Behind Two Points in the
Whist Tournament.

Whist Tournament.
1t was rather an intellectual looking
lot of men who gathered last night at
the rooms of the Minneapolis Chess,
Checker and Whist club for the sixth
game of the Twin City tournament at
whist. Most OF the players whose heads
were not gray, had lost their capillary
covering through much study. MessrS.
Briggs and Lewis were in charge Of the
score cards, and surrounded by play ers
at -. Petit and Todd, the contrast
in whose weight is only exceeded by the
similarity of their play. were early on
the scene. Capt. Brown, one of the
youngest members of the club and
its president, smilingly greeted
the st. Paul contingent as they came.
Carl Keuna. who is almost as much at
home with the St. Paul club as here, was
busy greeting his friends.frOm that city.
Harry p. Robinson, the handsomest man
in the club, and some say in Minneap0-
lis, came later, but in time to take his
place when the game was called. A
face familiar to players III the last
tourney was conspicuous by its absence,
DR.. Dorman, who seems to have dropped
the game for the present. The Briggs
brothers doomed up like lighthouses
among the shorter men, and it is said
that their whist reaches about as high
as they do. The teams from both cities
were very strong, and the closeness Of
the score so far makes each man play as
if fortunes depended on him alone. The
score in detail follows:

Orig Dupi.

The difference in footingS of the total
columns will show twice the number Of
points gained or lost. The gain in the
card illustrated was really three tricks.
For club playing duplicate whist has
one disadvantage, it is not soclable.
-Four players sit down and must con-
tinue together for the whole evening,
while, perhaps, three others are sitting
around doing nothing. Cutting in after
each rubber possesses some advantages
in this respect, of which it is we'll not to
lose sight.
Whist Notes.
The st. Paul Chess. Checker and
Whist club is inst now engaged, six
days week, in playing this game to the
total eclipse of the old whist. The other
night is spent i'll contest with the
Minneapolis club. There is some talk
OF club championship tourney to begin
as soon as the Minneapolis series is
completed, each team to play twenty
hands and return with every other.
Badges of some kind will be put up.
Some of the best known players we're
asked their opinions of the new game
the other night, and few OF them fol-
low:
C. W. Willet said: "What | like about

nuisance of cutting in after a rubber.
which spoils more games of whist than
any other one thing"
W. G. Sargent thinks that ''it teaches
the player his weak points and shows
unsoundness in play quicker than any
method of instruction that know Of"
Robert Erwin came in late last
night and sat around watching the play
for two hours without chance to play
a card. I'll reserve my opinion until
I'm in better humor.
j.. M. Hill, New Member-When
we beat those two experts three tricks
on the sixteenth hand | wanted to get
up and hug somebody.
j. &. Pyle-Mr. Willis and | expect to
play match at the game with two OF
the best players III the st. Paul club in
few days, and we expect to find 1t a
good test.
w. II. Allen-We'll have to challenge
some of these people for match and
see how badly they leave US.
DR.. William Davis had just finished a
successful sitting with two Minneapolis
crack players and was satisfied that it
was the ''best game, all round. yet in

Notes OF the Great Card
Game Gathered Among st.
Paul Players.

The last new thing in card playing in
ST. Paul is the invention of Mime
apolis man named Paine, called dupli-
cate whist While it is never likely to
become popular as an evenings enter
tainment for young people, it is des-
tined to have a great run among good
whist players. The popularity of the
game is that each side plays exactly the
same hands as the other. and the game
is thus an absolute test of the relative
ability of the two players. A description
of the method of play will be interesting
to those VINO have never seen it. For an
evenings play forty hands are enough,
taking experts about two and one
half hours. Twenty boards are pre-
pared, as in the diagram numbered
from one to twenty. They are

by which those who do not care to sit

it was necessary to station man at the
Fifth street entrance to keep the crowds
moving. This impromptu gatekeeper
said to GLOBE reporter last night
that by actual count 1872 people had
passed into the building during tie
day. and as only one OF two of the
'peds" were out, all of them having
finished their training. this was re-
garded as indicative of the interest
which the contest has awakened in st.
Paul. This will be the first professional
race in the history of the city. The
contestants will start at noon Tuesday,

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-The tables were
turned in sensational fashion this even
ing on Tommy Ryan. the champion
welterweight prize fighter, whose latest
feat was the marvellous seVenty-slA
round victory over Dannie Needham
Minneapolis. While Ryan was quietly
nuatfing glass of beer with friend an
officer slipped up and served a warrant
on the celebrated puglliSt, charging
him with prize fighting in Lake county,
Ind, two months ago. A. NJ. Turner
the Hoosier sheriff, who acted as com
plainant, took immediate charge Of MIR.
Ryan, being backed up by requistion
duly approved by the governor OF
Indiana and the governor OF
Illinois. With seeming utter
disregard of Ryan's newly acquired
honors in pugilsm, the Indiana official
hurriedly piled the worlds welter-
weight champion Oh the 5:15 .. m. Pan
Handle passenger train, and had the
satisfaction of gloating out the car Win
doWs at prominent Chicago lawyer,
who dashed up to the depot in cab
with writ OF habeas corpus just half a
minute too late TO prevent Mr.. Ryan's
legal abduction. The eminent counsel
grew black IN the face with rage, and
made the air livid with threats to have
the Indiana official Indicted for VIC
lating the Illinois habeas corpus stat
ute. Then the legal gentleman
cooled off tritie. and catch
ing his second wind, cunningly
telegraphed to Crown Point, Ind, in
structions to nave Ryan wrested en-
route from the sheriff by the clerk of
the court there, bail bonds being pro
vided. The pugilist and his hundreds of
friends in Chicago were angry enough
over the affair, if possible, to tip the
whole state Of Indiana into Lake Mich
igan. Just before the train started Ryan
said: ITS big bluff to get staff out
Of me. They know won lot of money
up in Minneapolis in the fight with
Needham and they think they can Jug
me and fine me thousand or so, but it
won't go. Eve got too many friends. "

from 16 to 20 inches square, and have on
each side rubber bands of proper size
to hold deck of cards. At one side is
marked an X and a hand is placed OH
each card as follows: On card one the
X being on the side considered as "
the hand is at b; on card two at Z; on
card three at d: on card four at A; and
on card five at Is again: so continuing
to the end. As many decks of cards are
required as there are boards used. The
first board is taken up. the y placed III
front of a player agreed on. the cards
slluffled and dealt. The lead goes to the
man before whom the hand appears.
One suit is taken as trump for the
whole evenings play. Instead or play
ing the. cards in the middle OF the table
each player lays his card directly In
front of him, and the side winning the
trick takes one from pile OF thirteen
counters OH the board. The cards OF
the second trick are played exactly op
top of those of the first, covering them.
The result of each hand is scored on
specially ruled score card described be-
low. At the end of the hand the cards
are placed, face downward, under tue
straps in front of the player, and the
board put away, while the other hands
are played. After PLAYING the cards
through once. which, with twenty hands,
will give each player five leads. the
boards are taken up again. and the X
being placed before player OH the OPP
posing side, are played through again.
Thus, where B led on card one the
first time, G. will now have the same
hand and will lead, b being fourth
player, and A and G will play the hands
which b and d had the first time
through. Both parties play exactly the
same hands and leads, and if there is
any difference in the score it shows the
relative strength and weakness Of the
players, nothing being left to luck.
There is no question that this game
will become very popular in a short
time, as it leaves out the element of
chance and permits players to contend
OH equal footing.

stNO JURISDICTIONS,

The court martial of Colonel Haines
has ended precisely as THE TRIBUNE, on
Friday said it would end. No Jurisdiction.
1t also ended differently from what
both General O'Brien and Colonel Haines
expected. The latter thought the court
was organized to convict HIM, while
General O'Brien supposed it would.
1t was a great farce Both the general and
the colonel shook hands bofore the col
onel's squad took up the line Of march for
Seattle, with their vouchers iii their pock-
cts, singing:
"Now are our brows bound with victorious
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarms changed to merry meetings;
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures"
Nearly every officer of the National
Guard spoke in the severest terms of the
action of Commander-in-Chief Ferry in
not allowing the accused to be made ac-
quainted officially with the findings Of the
court. Why was this? /? Some say simply
because that when the court decided it had
no jurisdiction, General Ferry did not want
to acknowledge that he had called together
at great expense, military court to deter
mine that question alone. The COM
mander-in-chief evidently did some serious
thinking as to how he should solve the
puzzling question which confronted him.
He had great experience in office military
matters during the war and it was looked
upon by the National Guard officers as a
pretty bad break for an old veteran mill
tary man like the governor who had served
in Tennessee, to make, The guilt or in
nocence of Col. Haines was not touched
upon by the court After General Ferry
determines the question as to whether the
court has jurisdictionornot he will inform
the members whether or not they will be
called together again.
