81 have heard it said that the apostle of
whist lives next door to the man without
a mission, and, altnOugh don't quite be-
lieve that, still, when I speak of the gospel
of whist, I don't lay claim to apostolicism:
1 do hope, however. that the public to
whom I address these epistles will believe
me tried and faithful disciple of the true
masters in whist lore. In the course Of a
long and conscientious investigation it has
been my lot to have listened to false pro
phets, and even to have approved their
doctrines; to have made experiments at the
instance of whist guerrillas, and myself to
have invented rebel tactics; but in vain
have I searched for substantial improve
ments upon the teachings of the standard
authorities, and at length. not in despair,
but cheerfully and with sense of relief,
1 have resigned the hope of finding the
whist Utopia. This I say not in a spirit of
pharisaism, but in spirit Of genuine humil-
ity. Bitter experience has taught me that
'tinkering' with the plain, straightforward
theory of whist does not pay; it improves
nobody's skill, disturbs the peace, and
makes none happy except the man Il would
not accuse q woman of such a INSIDE
meanor) who, in preference to earning two
tricks, would rather steal one. 1 may be
tempted to say more on this subject, for
I believe that If people generally knew
more about the heresy of whist it's pitfalls,
it's perils and its punishments, they would
be far better off; just as l believe with the
nineteenth century moralists, that to know
thyself may perhaps be safer than to be
minister's son. C. Howell of Boston.

Only One League Game Played Dur
Ing the Week.
The report has been circulated generally
that the team of the Miles Cycle Infantry
of the league had disbanded This has
brought forth an energetic kick from the
cycle corps. being the first information
they had received on the subject, and an
invastig alton was started to ascertain the
foundation Of the rumor, and, if possible
the people who started it. The only basis
for such report lies in the fact that the
last two or three games of the corps had
to be postponed because of the fact that
no place could be secured in which to
play the game. Efforts were made to Sc
cure the Light Infantry Armory, but with
no success
Only one league game was played during
the week. and that Wednesday night be-
tween the Carroll Institute team and the
Eastern Cycle Club. in which the former
won by a score of IA to 1. The game was
the one which had been postponed from

INTE REST IN CHECKERS

AS indicated in these columns would be
the case, the Washington Chess Club has
won the remaining game in its match by
correspondence with the Richmond Chess
Club The match resulted in tie, each
club having won two games. The opening
adopted in the game just completed was a
Steinitz gambit, in which the local club gave
UP a piece for three pawns and the attack.
The attack was maintained to the end Of
the game, which was finally won by the
superiority Of the three pawns to a knight
The game is a good example Of dashing
accurate and far-seeing play, and will repay
careful analysis. The following players
conducted the game on behalf of the Wash

HUMORS OF WHIST.
Remarks That Have Been Made
Around the THhye


Around the Table.
A go)d story is told of PLAYER in Chi
cago who considered himself a great au-
thority on whist. He wrote a book on the
subject, and sent it to a famous Milwaukee
player for his opinion of it. In about a.
week the book was returned to him, with
the following letter:
My Dear Sir: Your favor Of the - in
slant, accompanied by your book, was
duly received. I have read it very care
fully. 1t seems to be a very good game
but 1 don't think 1t is as good a game as
whist. Sincerely yours,
1t is no unusual thing to hear a player at
whist remark, after being berated by his
partner for very bad playing: "Well.
to think that he gives his partner anything
but pleasure Such players cause their
partners many. "un mauvais quart
d'heure." It might be great pleasure
with Paderewski. One can readily mag
ire how much pleasure" Paderewski
would find in the performance. If a man
wants to play whist he should study the
books and familiarize himself with them
before inflicting his play on partner who
knows anything of the game, or else de-
vote his great mind to dominos.
1t IS related OF one of these gentry that
after a hand at whist, his partner asked
him: "Why in thunder didn't you trump
that queen of clubs?" He naively replied;
Nv ny, only had one little trump" Some
times, as in this case the hymor-unknown
to the perpetrator-carries off the bad feel
ing engendered by his horrid mistakes and
ig, ORANGE. 1t is so easy, If one would de-
vote little time and ordinary intelligence
to the study Of the game, to learn to play
fairly good game of whist.
Four players started a game of whist
not long since, a loted wit being one Of
them. He was dealing and made a mis-
deal He dropped his cards and burst into
laughter. THAT reminds me- said he, "of
my dear Gid friend. Judge Peckham, father
of the present judge. He was a great whist
player of the old school, and had scant
patience with a poor player. I was pass
ing the card room one day and met one Of
the poorest players in the club coming out
Have you been playing whist?' 1 asked
Yes said he Who was your partner?
Judge Peckham.' he replied. Did he pitch
into you pretty strong?' No, indeed He
only made one remark. ] was dealing and
made misdeal. The judge said: "Why.
you fool, you don't even know how to
deal" This Is the only remark he made
during the entire game"

THE SHORT SUIT GAME.
Interesting Views Expressed by Vari-
Gus Whist Editors.

Gus Whist Editors.
The following expressions of opinion on
the short suit game will be read with in
terest by all whist players:
The 'short suit player stands In the
same relation to the game of whist as the
poker player who is Gin" at every hand
and draws to intermediate bob tails"
"singletons.' etc. He is occasionally sue
cessful, but loses more times than he wins
as the odds are very much against making
his hand good; and this is also true Of the
"short suit" player at whist-the odds are
against him if he has as his opponents
players of as good mental caliber as his
own. Once in a while short suit player
gains many tricks in hand by his method,

Trick West has established suit (clubs),
and Is justified in leading from his four
trumps.
Trick 2-If West here passes the nine of
trumps led by his partner he will lose five
tricks. The proper play is to take with the
ace, and force with the clubs, as shown by
the above play. Those who failed to do this
are still kicking themselves.

Were Trumps justified:
Below is a hand that recently was played
at the BROOKLYN Whist Club:

1t will be seen that South has a very
strong hand with cards of re-entry in
three suits He hesitated for while, and
then led his three commanding trumps,
spades. He then led his fourth best club,
which North took with the king. North re-
turned his fourth best diamond, which was
taken by West, with the ace. He, not
wishing to open his tenace of hearts, re-
turned the diamond through the strong
hand. 1t will be noticed that East only had
one small club and the four of diamonds
These two leads, of course, took them both,
He was then left with the two remaining
trumps and six hearts. nine high. He
trumped the diamond and led his fourth
best heart. West took the trick with the
queen and returned the ace. He then play
ed the deuce, which was taken by South
with the king: South then led his ace Of
clubs, which East promptly trumpet. and
then made his three small hearts. East
and West made eight tricks; North and
south hVe tricks. At some of the other
tables these figures were reversed. In view
Of the result many players would condemn
South for leading tramps under the cir
cumstances. But it must be taken into ac-
count that he had very strong hand. with
several cards of re-entry.7 The temptation
was very great. The five of spades was
turned by East j

The following interesting hand is rema rk-

Brooklyn Standard Union. 1t is also sur
prisins that 50 many experienced players,
who are considered expert in the game,
should exhibit so great lack OF wisdom
and prudence in playing Vests cards. With
the North and South cards the players
made ten tricks, while with the East and
West cards there We're four pairs, who
made ten tricks. thus showing a loss or

how easy it is to lose three or more tricks
in taking a desperate chance to gain one.

position pending further investigation

action of the board of edEcation In the
communication to Mr.. Williams the secre.
tary was instructed to embody the state

present himself before the board to repel
the charges it is his alternative. But for
his own good and for that of all concerned
the committee respectfully announced
that his resignation, to take place imme.

it was also the opinion of the committee
that 1t would be wise for Mr.. Williams
never to show his face i'm this city again. u
