future grace the parlors of the club in
West Philadelphia. Fifty-siX matches
have been played for this trophy since
its presentation to the League, who
will now have to purchase a new cup
for future contests. What club will get
this one? Is Scranton talent so poor
that it can not have something to say
about 1t. 1t is to be hoped that this
city will soon produce a team of four
which will be able to make at least a
respectable attempt for it's temporary
possession
1t is said that the Scranton Whist

approaching congress, and may pos
sibly make a try for the Minneapolis
Trophy" the championship pair en-
blem. 1t looks very much like "a child
crying for the Moon but it will be a
good experience anyway, and no dis
grace If they keep out of the last place.
A hand recently played at Detroit
showed a loss of seven tricks caused
by one bad play. The leader has a
seven card established suit, a single
ton ace and ace and three small
trumps. He leads a small trump taken
by fourth hand, gets In with the single
ton ace and leads ace of trumps and
follows with small, finding major tinaCe
with opponent. In this case seven tricks
were lost in an endeavor to save one.
The situation is not uncommon and
should always be handled conserva-
lively. In a local game a few weeks
| ago, six tricks were lost by a similar
| play. This was considered a record
breaker but is cast in the shade by the
above case.
The following by Work in the Even
| ing Telegraph is valuable, as the sit
uation is not uncommon: I'VE have
been asked what a third hand player
should do under the following circum-
stances: He holds six trumps headed
| by Ace, King, Queen, and two plain
| suits, one consisting of four cards
| headed by Queen, the other consisting
| of the Ace, ten, and five.
THE partner leads the Queen Of the
| third plain suit, in which the third
hand has nothing. The question is,
| should the third hand make a lone
card calr' by discarding the ten of his
| three-card suit? A correspondent urges
liltl lie SllOulu llOl SlBHdi, do lllC lSduSl
may not have a re-entry, and can
therefore not get in again to give the
third hand the discards he needs.
I'VE cannot view the case in this
| light. We think the signal should be
made, but that the leader should not
shift his suit to trump unless he has
a re-entry. Under such circumstances
he should refuse to obey the signal II
he knows he cannot again get the lead
"Such a hand was recently played
in this city. The leader answered the
signal. thereby saying. "I have a re.
entry" The third hand, after leading
enough trumps to get discard, found
the re-entry was in his four-card suit
He at once opened that with the Queen
This forced the Ace, and the remaining
suit was opened. The original thro
hand played his Ace second hand and
made the rest of the tricks.

1T WAS A GIFT.
The Bishop Told That He CouId't
Learn to Swear So.

A well known bishop. who takes a
prominent interest in everything af-
fecting the working classes, wishing to
judge for himself what a journey in a
workman's carriage was like, took a
ticket and Joined the miscellaneous
crowd which fills these trains on the
Great Eastern railroad.
After most undignitied struggle for
a seat, he found himself jammed in be-
tween a NAVY, smoking strong black
pipe, on his right, and an artist in
house painting, smelling strongly of
his craft and carefully balancing a can
of green paint, on his left hand. The
good bishop, apprehensive for the safe
balance of this can and nauseated by
the very unpleasant odors arising, was
also very much shocked by the bad
language which garnished the conver-
sation of his neighbors.
After a particularly strong express
sion from the NAVY, the bishop, touch
ing him gently, inquired:
MY good man, please tell me where
you learn the language you have Just
made use Off"
The NAVY replied, with a suspicion
of pride in his tone:
Learn it, gouv-nor? You can't learn
it! It's gift"
