GOOD ADVICE TO WHIST STUDENTS.
By Lander M. Bouve of Bos

By Lander M- Bouve of Boston.
 To beginners, or players of limited expe- rence. the numerous new plays and systems which have been developed during the past year or two are undoubtedly confusing and tend to discourage students of whist in their efforts to learn the game It is not good policy for any but the most expert players to attempt to make use of the various new plays exploited, as even the originators of many of these inventions admit that to a large extent they experimental. The advocates of the long-sut game believe that the present more or less unsettled condition of affairs Is but a forerunner of return, by many of those now attempting to demonstrate the value of these so-called Improvements to the established game as set forth by most prominent writers. If beginners will conscientiousIy master the American leads. and the plays which are the basis of the long-sut game, they will find that their experience grows, they able to hold their own against many of the later ideas. The main factor of success Is to make ones play easy for partner to understand. and it is an oft remarked fact that many of the most brilliant players work their partners so hard that 1t is relief to the latter when the game Is finished This Is entirely unnecessary. particularly If players will give partner the assistance possible by means of the number showing leads, uniform plays der like conditions, and consistent following of the straight long-Sutt system.

MIR. WORKS ADVICE TO WHIST PLAYERS

''Mr Work what would you advise our play CTS to do to improve their team work?'
 Answer-To my mind the best method of im- proving team work is for team after it has been selected, to frequently as possible practice together That is. the four sit down at a table and play hand. retaining the cards in front of them in duplicate play, and then as soon as the hand is played re-play 1t with the cards all face up exactly as played originally, but whenever a play occurs the wisdom of which is doubted by any of the four or in regard to which any one of the four desires anything said, the replay is stop ped and the situation and the correct play at that time thoroughly discussed. This sys- tenn of practice has many advantages. It en- ables each member of the team to realize how the minds of the other three act under certain situations and what they are apt to do It brings up points on which there may be any possible difference of opinion, and If thoroughly ca rrfed out. results almost invariably in the four men in the end playing a very similar game I do not believe that there is any other method of practice that approaches 1t, or that a team preparing for important contest can do too much of it for its own benent. Of course before starting this sort Of practice a system should be agreed upon which Is sat isfactory to all, but 1t Is not of so great i'm portance what the system may be as that the members composing the team thoroughly un- derstand it, are satisfied with 1t. and unite in the effort to produce the best results from ( ha of
