yOnd Street. His treatise lays down
the 2, 3, 4 and as the strong and the
6, Z and as the weak long suit leads.
but the Pyramid players-of whom he
is one, but not the only one-have
stretched this law considerably. They
now play only the 2, and 4 to show
trump strength. and not infrequently
lead the other small cards, up to the s,
as the top of nothing that is, from
the head of weak suits, long or short.
In fact, they practice-so far as the
openings are concerned-yo nearly
the system which | preached Two years
ago.
When you come to compare tine exist
ing varieties of the invitation game, you
find that they are different merely in
matters Of detail. The same principle
underlies them all-namely, don't lead the
lowest cari of a plain suit unless you
have trump and re-entry strength back of
it and desire to encourage partner
to play a forward game. Two years ago
] thought the ,, 8. and were about all
the small cards the player would need for
this purpose; that the and higher small
cards would so seldom be found at the
DbiluIn u loilS Suil9 accompanied US
strength: that a different meaning might
safely be attached to them without di-
minishng the elasticity of the system.
Now it appears that the New Jersey
players believe the to be necessary as
strong long suit card. and the Pyramids,
on the other hand, believe both the 6 and
the to be unnecessary.
For my own part, frankly admit that
these arbitrary divisions or the cards,
although I am responsible for their intro
duciton. The principle underlying them
the lead of the lowest card Of a plain
suit only when the rest of the hand is
strong-is sound and unobjectionable.
There is some question, however about
the proper method Of application of the
principle. The practice that [ now fol-
low which is the practice of the Howell
Whist club teams. is this: If a hand de-
mands the opening Of long suit with a
small card. / lead the lowest of the suit
if | have four or more trumps, and the
penultimate or any small card above the
lowest if 1 have less than four trumps.
This method differs in effect but little
from the original 2. ?, T. idea but it is
more elastic and conservative. 1t works
very well in every instance. and is quite
well liked by all players who have tried
it. 1t seems to me to Be really the sim
plest form of the invitation game, so far
as this style of play is at present deyel-
oped.
AS I said at Tie outset Of this article,
the recent success Of the invitation game
does not justify CARLY growing 1t is bet
ter in the interest Of whist science to let
the experimenting go on and calmly

Lessons Learned from some Hard Fought
BATTLES.

Lessons Learned from some Hard Fought
Battles.
The New Jersey Whist club team,
which some time ago TOOK the Ameri-
can Whist league trophy away from
the Baltimoreans after a heartbreak-
ing battle of brains, a few days later
successfully defended its prize against
the powerful representatives or the
Brooklyn Whist club. This time the
Jersey men won by no small margin,
as they had done in the match at Bal
timOre, but by the score or Is 10 10,
which in matches Of this sort is con-
sidered evidence of decided superior
ity. 1t is not yet time for the heter-
odoX whist writer's like myself to
crow but it is quite clear that the
New Jersey champions are playing
anything but an orthodox game. They
have rejected the fourth best lead,
which is the cornerstone of long suit
ism according to st. Cavendish, and
have substituted for it a system of
small card leads, indicative OF strength
or of Notwithstanding to the card
led-in the rest Of the hand. If
ueMD6F OIL team leauS Z, ., I, . "
6, he shows strength in trumps and for
re-entry; if he leads Z, 8, 8, or 10, he
shows still his long suit as a general
thing, but weakness outside Of it.
Supporting cards from weak suits
when the longer suits appear to be
hardly worth opening, or better for
defensive than for offensive purposes,
are part of the Jersey system.
One entertaining whist writer, my
friend Foster, calls this style of play
the common sense game, but it is
nothing Of the sort. 1t is very elab-
oratcly devised system, which no
doubt has an element of common sense
in it, as everything good has, and
there is no other reason Tor calling it
common sense whist. 1t is really a
variety OF the invitation game, which
has a great mold on the whist public
to-day. Its origin may be found in my
little book, whist Openings" pub
lished two years ago. There | recon-
mended the 3, and for long suit

My other friend, Work, who, if not
SO entertaining as Foster, is quite as
able atheorist and a much ADLER PLAYER,
calls the Jersey system what it is
the invitation game. 1t is almost pre-
cisely that variety Of the invitation
game which Charles Stewart Street, Of
Boston, has recently christened, in his
whist Up To Date" the modified
game. This system is used by the
Pyramid Whist Club, which is unques-
tionably the strongest coterie of play
ers in New England. They are a few
less than a dozen-eXperts who have
been drawn together by a common de-
sire to get away from the strict long
suit routine and make the small card
opening mean something. Their mod

Then he condemned them as conduc-

Now he finds a champion team using
