play. and why


CLUB NOTES.
The whist players at Harvard have deter
mined to divide the entries for their annual
tournament into Ave sections, with five pairg in
each. The matches will be sixteen deals each,
memory duplicate. with hearts declared trumps
for the whole tournament. This would have
been an excellent opportunity to test THE SUNS
suggestion for playing single-table duplicate for
pairs. changing the suits before the overplay,
pointing in the same direction.
The first match played according to this sug-
gestion took place last week in Brooklyn. tho
contestants being two short and two long suit
players, who had bet n dinner on tho merits Of
their respective systems. II was so long since
the lonR-suiters had played n strictly long-suit
game that they had forgotten many Of Its lead
Ing principles. which, perhaps, accounted for
the result.
There was no delay or confusion in sorting out
the transposed hands for the everyday. and the
players had no Idea how the game was going
until II was all over. None, OF the hands was
recognized. and the general opinion of both
players and spectators seemed TO be that tho
experiment was quite a success.
The Knickerbocker Whist Club has deter
mined to place its quarters at l43 West Forty
FIRST street at tho disposal OF women players, for
their exclusive use every Monday from 2 TO O
York women have arranged 10 be on hand to or
ganize a club Of some kind. The only expense
for the use of the rooms will be the card money.
10 conts for each player. This is certainly a
move In the right direction. and II is an oppor-
tuntty that should not he neglected by the many
women players who have been wishing for suit
able quarters in a convenient eiRhborhood.

Trick 9. rs opening is not a good one. He
has the choice Of -four lines OF play. To return
the club would be bad policy, as 1t would proba-

long.suit principles, is not regarded as good
whilst nowadays. To play trumps with moth.
ing established. and two weak suits. is a rather
forward game. To lead tho spades. even with
the object of seeing how that suit lies, or at

for any but the most extreme short-suiter. In
