Double builds, such as two ss, cannot be changed.

alone or pass.
1. o. ask whether Il player making a mach aud
cuchre at the same time in a two, handed game
counts : or :. A claims tnatthe march counts : and
the euchre " moIe.
The euclre is the only thing that counts.
L. NJ. Q. says In a three: handed game A claims
lead.
He is wrong. The eldest hand always leads in
euchre. no matter who makes the trump.
Il. I. :. saws In a four handed game A dealt. All
passed and a "a t'1 ha ny III ahe trump npoh wh.sR nl se aa "a
too late.
Ais right. No ore but the maker of the trump
can play alone. and as c "a not make it, butalloved
A to do so. c must content him self with playing for
a euchre.
j. s. P. says; In a three. handed game 4 want,
euChr,d. who win?
1t is a tie between A and B..

afraid q " ,@ne hand, especially II he has not
unless he holds at least ono tramp.
r i. mistaken Any person can order up tn,
trump withou: re gard ~ what he holds himself, m
even without looking at his cards.
Fivr.handed.- "A. y. n. ask. If . player calling or
an ace must have In hisown hand at least one OF thu
suit called for.
No. On the contrary. it is one OF the fine points o
the game to call for the a." uf a suit Of which 20,

Law ~ says that IL an adversary of the lone plsye
exposes a card or cards the lone PLAYER may abando
the hand and claim the four points. A decision woul
therefore depend upon whether or not \ thre'
down his cards face ny. or exposed ANY Of them.

A il right. The trump Sc Iuence aud marriage ca
