that this was simply putting him back into
the lead again and compelling him TO do the
very thing which he tried to avoid in the
first place, open a suit which he did not
want to lead away from. Time and again
we see persons who imagine they are play
ing the common-sense game jump at the
chance to force their partners without stop
ping to think what suit that unfortunate
partner will lead next and what chance
they have to win a trick in it.
IF the general principle governing short
suit leads Is that they are defensive because
they are made in order to avoid leading
support to those defensive openings must
be for the third hand, if he gets in on the
first suit opened, to lead his own short or
supporting suits, in order to give his part

warning as to which suit of the two un-

'tThoSe who do not possess sufficient skill

given away by would-be short-suiters

PLAYING SHORT SUITS,
roster Explains the Fundamental
Principles in the Game.


X. F. Foster, the leading exponent of the
short-suit game in whist, has finally made
known his theory of the game Its funda-
mental principles he described as follows
In recent number of the New York Sun:
There are still, unfortunately, very few
persons who thoroughly understand the
fundamental principles of the so-called
short-suit game. They do not realize that
1t Is primarily a defensive game, In which
the real strength of the hand is reserved
until the time is ripe for its proper use. In
the long-suit game, on the contrary, the
attack is the distinguishing feature and
the strongest and best suit is played for
right from the start. Now If a player
starts out with defensive lead he is usu-
ally trying to, defend something, and it is
the duty of his partner to find out what
that IS and to help along the scheme of
defense if he can.
"One of the worst faults among would-be
short-suiters is that they fail to consider
the reasons which have probably prompted
the original leader to open a suit in which he
is weak. Why does he not open the suit in
which he has at least length? Is 1t because
it contains d tenace? The cards played by
others or held by the partner will often
show that there can be no tenace combina-
ton in his hand. Perhaps it is headed by
a single honor. II SO, what Is that honor
and can you save it? Perhaps he Is in the
high grass with lot of trumps, II so,
are they any use to you as support to
your hand?
''The first thing one learns In playing the
common-sense game as 1t should be played
is that 1t is not ruffing game, and one, of
the worst faults that have to be overcome
is the habit Of going right back with suit
which viii put your H partner INTO the lead
clearly shows he does not want the lead.
The most common example of this is when
third hand wins the first or second round
Of a short suit originally opened by his
partner. Back he goes with third round.
SO that his partner may get In q little
trump. If one would only stop to think
about II for q minute, u would be obvious

Pitcher Mcfarland and Catcher Heydon
reported to Manager Irwin at National

form and look to be ball players all over.
Cassidy, whose home is in Wilmington, Del,

port to Manager Irwin in time to go into

The report from New York that $500
was given to the Washington club, in addi-
tion to the three players, for Farrell and
Casey was laughed at this morning by
Messrs Wagner and Irwin. Local enthu-
siasts doubtless believe that Farrell was
the man Manager Hanlon was after, while
in reality 1t was little Casey whom he
wanted to fill in at third until Shortstop
Jennings is fit to play and Dahlen can return
to the third corner. Manager IRWIN says ne
talked for two hours last week with Man
ager Hanlon, trying to persuade MIN 10
help out the Washington club with pitch-
er, and at that time the Brooklyn man
stopped all talk by insisting on Casey De
ing considered in the trade. Later Adn-
ager Irwin concluded that he needed othef
men that would be more valuable 10 the
club than the little third baseman, and TINS
decision took him to Philadeiphla on sal
urday. When Manager Hanion touhd the

GO he quickly came TO terms anu the IIttue
