The greatest change on Jan. 6 appears in tho
position Of pair No. IL, which moves up three
places. On Jan. IS pair No. 3 drops from sec
ond to seventh place, and pair No. 2 goes from
sixth to third. On Jan. 6 pair No. 5 won the
prize on the Howell system. but was in second
place on both the other methods of scoring.
here are the exact comparisons Of pairs No. 3
and 5:

than No. 3, they lost first prize on account of
the method Of scoring. This was because they

CONCERNING SHOTS.
1t has lately become much the fashion for
to take long shots on certain hands,
and when the aim is well taken they frequently
bring down big game. The trouble with most
shot players is that thoy do not exercise good
Judgment in selecting the hands upon which
take long chances. The general principle
OF shot plays is that II you don't hit the mark
you don't lose anything but a cartridge. which
may be an ace or a long trump. Most persons
seem. to think. however. that a shot 10 trying to
hit tho mark when your partner 10 directly in
the line of fire. The excitement to them seems
to bc in seeing whether they can hit the bulls:
eye without killing their partner, when one Of
those two things must happen.
The, ruling principle Of shot plays is that they
should not be undertaken except with hands
which are practically dead unless they hi the
mark and will not lose much II they miss 1t.
As an illustration. take the following. which
was played in the match between the Knicker-
booker Whist Club and Staten Island on Jan.

TRICK.

W win eleven tricks.
Trick l. If Y puts the ace on the jack, his
great spade suit is absolutely dead, because he
has no re-entry except in the suit itself. BIS
putting the king on his partners jack clearly
marks him with either no more. or only one
small.
Trick Q. The lead Of the club jack will save at
least a trick, and make it very difficult for ".
Trick 3. u has nothing in his hand to justify
a lead Of trumps. and dislikes very much to
lead away from his major tenace in clubs. With
the whole heart suit probably against him., he
sees nothing better than to establish the ten Of
spades by leading the queen. y cannot afford
to win the queen and lead trumps. because the
only spades, remaining unplayed are the eight
and ten, and II the ten does not fan this time
the whole spade suit Is shut out.
Trick 4. 1t did not take n long to realize the
possibilities of his p0rtners hand. and he made
sure of two rounds u trumps Immediately, al.
terward taking thu third.
Trick z. There H. nothing better than to get
that trump out Of the way at once. for after it
is gone A must either come up to rs tenace in
clubs or lead n diamond for him to ruff. The
rest is easy.
