and less fruitless fields. Once and only
once was YCavendish" very arbitrary.
The point In question was whether
one should play king second in hand, In
trumps, when holding the king with
only one small card. "Cavendish" does
not countenance the idea, maintaining
that it's "possible success at times
proves nothing" "0n the return of the
suit the original leader, If holding ace,
knave, will probably finesse knave, and
TINS the king wins without showing up
the poverty of the hand where it has
been" "Holding king, knave only, the
play is naturally the king, second in
haIrd, rather than take the double
chance OF loss" In this case Cavendish
ended all argument by significant
wave of his hands and the remark:
"When you play with me l must ask
you not to do it," In regard to the Sc
ouence of knave, ten, nine, etc.,
Cayendish says he has aban-
doned the lead of knave, save
in trumps. His illustration was a
good one. One thought OF one he
often quoted since: "What does the
weaker animal do? Certainly not come
out and declare himself; ne stays in
and hldesl" The lead Of knaye from
the head of sequence shows to any
body at the tableHholding either queen
or king that knave is the highest card
in that leaders hand, and may prove
such disadvantage that it Is safer to
lead "a fourth best card" and inspire
the adversary with a certain kind OF
terror. Upon the same principle "Cav-
endist" advises not to lead the best OF
50 weak suit" ofteItimes toward the
last of the hand, when it is evident that
the suit is not your partners, or that
your cards are such that they cannot
in any way assist him. what possible
advantage, then, would there be in In
forming every one at the table
that your card, for instance, is an eight,
and thus encouraging the adversary to
fnesse?"
