Whist Editor" CALL, City.l
1t is not always the best argument to
theorize on plays in whist that should or
should not be made, to convince the be-
ginner or skeptic. When you can give a
practical Illustration of play the argu-
ment has more force, more conviction.
For this reason we will try and demon
strate to our whist readers why and under
what conditions the original leader is justi-
fled in calling for trumps in making his
opening lead, and where it is conducive to
trick-winning.
A few weeks ago the San Francisco
Whist Club played challenge match
against the Oakland Whist Club for the
Rideout trophy. A few of the deals as
played by both club will be discussed
from time to time in our whist column,
and from the deals that were played in
this match we select one that is beautiful
illustration of what we propose to show.

THE SONG I SANG FOR You.

I sang for you one early morn
When leaves with dew were wet.
Though wears have passed that simple song.
Rings in my memory vet:
You were my little queen of flowers,
lay low at your feet,
And crowned you with diadem
OF blossoms fair and sweet.
! sang for you one afternoon,
a bird sang overhead:
" Your song is far the sweeter song"
Those were the words yon said:
wooed you for my bonnie bride,
You gave your heart and hand
And forth we wandered arm in arm
Across the twilight land.
sang for you one starless night;
My tears fell like the rain:
You bade me sing "Abde with me-"
did not end the strain:
Yon closed your eyes. and 10, y our ears
With angel music rang!
/ wonder if you e'er recall
The earthly songs 1 sang!

Quite nice showing for club only six

Quite a nice showing for a club only six
months old.
When the "Code of Laws" is revised at
the next congress in Brooklyn, as it prob
ably will be, we suggest the insertion of
the following: "Whoever shall by word or
gesture show his approval or disapproval of
his partners mode of play during the deal,
or make any remark. or ask any question not
allo we'd by the laws of whist, shall forfeit
one trick; either to he added to the ad-
versaries' score or deducted from his own
at their option. At progressive duplicate
to be deducted after the averages are
taken"
The directors of the American Whist
League have Just issued new schedule
score card for team play between clubs
which is intended to prevent mistakes in
scoring or placing of the players, In "a or
4S deals. 1t shows the exact position of
each player for every deal. The score is
kept by one side only, north, and attested
by the adversary, east, Samples of these
cards will be sent to all our whist readers
upon application to our Whist Editor.
X. G. Howell, great whist mathema-
tician of Boston, will make his mark in
the whist world some day that will be Sec
ond to none in this country-or any other
for that matter. He is just now engaged
on something new in whist that will be
ready for the Brooklyn congress.
Vogue, New York weekly society Jour-
nal, devotes a double page to beautiful
drawing of the interior of the New York
ladies' whist club rooms. filled with fashion
and beauty, at the silent game Miss Ger
trude Clapp, the well-known whist teacher,
has charge of the whist department in that
journal.
The CALL suggests to the tournament
committee in charge of affairs at the COM
ing Brooklyn congress to have progress
sive straight duplicate compass whist
match for the development of ''new whist
fads" Have it continue the whole week,
and allow none to enter this contest except
those who have not graduated from the
school called ''Monkeylng; or, Catch-as-
Catch. Can"
Why don't whist players and writers
adopt the custom OF saying, north and
| south against east and west, and when a
deal at whist is being demonstrated use
the points of the compass instead of A. B.
against Y. q. or c. D. We would &c fur
ther and say the leader or dealer should
! always be placed south.
| General A. W. Drayson, in letter to
the London Field of April a. says: s'if
| whist is to be made more game of skill
than it is honors should be struck out from
the score. But nine-tenths of the men Tin
England) who play what they call whist
do so as gam bling business. They care
little for the science OF the game" He also
says the American code OF laws is far more
clear and simple than the English code

Sometimes he only gets teaspoon or an
old knife, and sometimes not even that.
But there are occasions when he finds such
things as hammers, chisels. saws and other
tools that have been dropped by men
working on the side of the craft. Bob will
stick to anything he can get. if it's only q

In addition to obtaining lost articles,
Bob often gets a good-sized crab or an
oyster that has fallen overheard from the
schooners of the Morgan Oyster Company,
