Ihe impression Is general that until
recently the Americans have not been a
whist playing ration. tt Is difficult to
reconcile this view with the fact that
early in this century. when Holye was the
only authority, various reprints of bis
works were cit iiculrten in the United
Statese e. O., "The New Pocket Hoyle"
(PhiladeloljIa, 1909; "Holys's Games''
(Boston, 1919; the same (Philaoelphia,
1917 No doubt diligent search would
reveal the existence OF other editona.
American reprints of Matthews md
Bohn are also TO be found, dating about
the middle OF the present century; and
the conclusion forced on US is that whist
has all along held It's own in American
society, Notwithstanding the con,empors-
neous popularity OF another admire bic
four-handed game, viz, euchre.
Americas whist, however, diverged in
some import mt respects from the English
model. How and when the American
changes IN the construction Of tho game
were introduces the writer has not been
atlo to discover. In course OF time
American flayers abolished the rdbber,
rest Of three games, ana the score for
honors, substituting single games with
out bonors. This must be allowed to TO
a simplication and an improvement; 80 Is
one OF the things that Americs has done
for whist. But, in abolishing points
slso. tho change seems TO the writer to
have been in the wrong direction.
score OF points is a BITTER test OF skill
in the long run than score Of games
