Cause For Heavy Swings.
Perhaps one of the causes for the
heaviest swings in whist hands is the
treatment of the deal when the part
ner renounces early in the game. What
to do requires little serious thought,
and the principle, Force your part
ner, if strong in trumps," is some
times better honored in the breach
than in the observance. In the first
place, if the opponent opens suit
which second hand player wins, and
his partner renounces, what are the
chances of his being also strong in
trumps? Base your calculation on
the fact that the hand was originally
divided into two plain suits and
trumps The card discarded by the
partner is, however, of the utmost i'm
portance, Greater, indeed, than the
question of the trump strength held
either by ones partner or ones self.
Of course, a very low card discarded
by him may imply willingness to be
forced, but this should not be taken
for granted. II forced, what he will
lead is the main question under con-
sideration. In all probability his
third suit, as his discard indicated
weakness in the second. This is the
important feature of the play that is
often overlooked. Unless one is in
position to give ones partner good
support in the suit he is likely to
open, it will be seen that forcing him
would be a mistake. Suppose that
you have strength in your partners
declared suit, with the chances that
he is fairly strong in trumps 1t is
likely to prove more profitable to lead
his suit unless you are more than or
dinarily long in it, or even a trump
lead will often produce better results
than a force-New York Evening Post.
Throwing the Lead.
A deal played in a match for the
Ohio trophy, between the Cleveland
and Cincinnati Whist Clubs, in which
the value of judiciousiy throwing the
lead Is illustrated. The deal and COM
ments are by Mr.. VIM. G. Hosea, OF
Cincinnati, Ohio:

Comments.
The dirst six tricks contain nothing
worthy Of comment. At trick Z North
plays we'll in not leading the best
trump. He can read South for two
hearts and four diamonds. West hav-
ing shown five trumps, has two left
above the 6. This leaves only one
trump unaccounted for, and as East
returned the 2, he has no more. South
must therefore hold this trump and
caes make it on the spade lead.
At trick 10, West can read North for
three spades, which cannot be O., j..
10. or he would have led @. or 10 at
trick Z. West cannot lose, therefore.
by leading the losing trump, and will
gain a trick, unless North holds @. j.

The Art of Whist Playing.
would not attempt to add a rule
or a definition on whist Rules can
be found In many admirable and ex-
haustive works upon this King of
Games" Only few words of caution
let me give to the players who would
make for themselves acceptable part
rers, for there are players who know
the entire literature Of the game, and
still are not pleasant partners. Learn
at once the generalship of the game.
The very activity Of the demand for
new whist books shows that, as yet, no
work has been published to which the
consensus of opinion gives final auth
GRITTY. So let the rules CO. in meas
ure; at least, do not follow Whist
fads Indeed, it is far better to try to
learn the strategy of the game.
Put your vigor into remembering
the fall of the cards, and burden not
your memory with too many rules.
Above all, learn the etiquette of the
game. Avoid all mannerisms, as tap
ping the table with the fingers, or
looking at the ceiling for information.
Learn to put the cards down quietly;
that is, without that disagreeable
snap that so many make with each
card.
The more quietly one plays, the
more he will be credited with knowing
Be assured of this. A quiet player
who. has mastered the fundamental
leads and principles of the game, is
a more acceptable player than the
noisy player, even though the latter
may have acquired an open sesame of
the game down to the most intricate
of the echoes and cub-echoes.
The game of whist is a vehicle of
ceremony and intellectual pretensions,
and nothing looks worse than to see
a person sitting carelessly at the table
witt cards held shiftlessly in the
bands.
This story is told cf retired army
general of our own country. He once
received a visit in his garriosn home
from young man who Wa5
under investigation as an as
pirant for his granddaughter 5
hand. In the course of the
visit the young man declared himself a
whist player. A game was opened, as
the general was most devoted to it. In
the progress of the game the general
