also posted on the same board intimating that the

The attention of beginners who are anxious
to improve in their play has been called to the
absolute necessity of giving careful attention
TO the cards as they are played on the table.
This Is so important that the advice cannot be
reiterated too often, as this careful notation of
the cards is the foundation upon which rests
the remaining play. If you have not observed
and noted the cards as played how are you TO
know late in hand whether your partners
nine is the best of the suit, or whether you
should trump it? 1t is not q question of mem
DRY, as many suppose, but of noting during the
play what high cards have fallen. If you see
and note that all the cards above the nine
have been played, it is not difficult to remem-
Der the fact that the nine is the best, and when
il is played you know what to do without any
mental effort.
Further, the careful observation of the fall
of the cards is necessary to draw proper infer
ences, and when the differences are drawn the
tax on the memory is still further reduced.
Suppose you were South player and held A.
], 10, z, 2 and led the z; West played the 4,
North king, East 8. Partner afterward OBJ
talned the lead and returned the O.; East
played Q, you the A, and West the 3. You
note that the 3 and 8 only are missing. The
must be with your partner and the 8 with
West. Now, having noted the fall and drawn
the differences at the time OF the play. you have
only to recollect that the 3 is with your part
Q6r ana the o Win west l4lS Is NcI easy dhO
simple. suppose you had not drawn any in
ferences. but tried to remember that the T. T.
K6,9,Q A and 3 had been played in the
order given. That would require a fearful
amount OF mental work.
The listless, unobservant and inattentive
player allows his thoughts to wander during
the drop OF the cards, and then suddenly com
ing back to the game he says, "Please draw
your cards. or Let me see that trick before
it is turned" Had his mind been given to
noting the cards, as they fell, ne would not
have TO ask questions. Had he been endeav-
oring to draw the differences during the play,
ne would have had sufficient to occupy him
without thinking of other things. He would,
moreover, have acquired insight into the
unseen cards, which would have made ii easy
to play the remainder of the hand intelli-
gently.
The multitude of things to remember may
confuse beginners, but experience will over
come all the difficulties. Nothing can be more
instructive and beneficial than practice in
drawing inferences Let four students arrange
practice games in which they announce after
each round of suit how they place the re-
manning cards. Try this few times and you
will be astonished afterward in your play
how easily the CARDS are located and how much
more each card says as it falls in the play. Do
not guess the location of the cards, but have
reason for placing card in any hand If you
are wrong once you will not make the same
mistake again. Here is a simple example:
