The old rule was TO show the point, but good
players arc supposed TO know from their own
cards and dIscards what the suit Is. II there is
any doubt about IT, they can ask. and then the
point must be SHOWN.

10 and 80 has ono OF the players, a. Does the
dealer win from A. and II not where does the dealers
advantage come In
When the result Is a tie It Is stand on and IS
called paying In cards" The bankers ad
vantage lies In the money Won from players who
overdraw their hands before the banker has 10
say whether or not he will draw himself. Sup
pose six play and four burst Even II The dealer
has 10 pay the two who remain, he has won from
the other four. Another advantage OF the dealers
Is that n he has a natural all the Others pay him
double whereas II player who Is not the banker
has a natural. only the banker pays him.
Five Hundred. W. p. N. says. II tn, Joker
can be made into any suit the holder OF Il chooses
why cannot he play Il at any Time and say u IS
the best OF the suit
II Their, Is a trump SUIT. the Joker Is always the
best trump. But when the bid Is 20 play without
trump. the Joker cannot be played. except 10 lead
II, unless the holder OF the Joker has none OF the
suit led. ~ least, that seems to be the general
practice II is contradiction In terms TO call the
Joker the only trump In a no trumpet but that is
the way the game Is played
HH l. says. II the bidder takes all the tricks
does he add 30 70 his score,
No: but " his bid was for any amount less than
80 he scores 2Sn for winning all the tricks. sup
pose he bid eight on spades, worth 80 and took
oil the tricks, he would score go instead Of $50.

players stayed and called and the opener showed
folr elghts Those who called Insist that he should
forfeit the pot, his manner OF disca riding indl-
Gated that be was splitting pair to draw 10
flush or straight.
There Is nothing In the laws 70 prevent a player
creating false impression as TO his holding II he
can; but Il was TO prevent Just such disputes as this
that the rule was adopted which compels the
opener always 10 preserve his discard, whether he
Is actually splitting or not, and to put this discard
under the chips In the pool. In the case given, II
the players called under the Impression that the
opener had split a pair that Is their loss for an
error Of judgment

not Only one man. y. stays The dealer draws
and bets a chip. b asks him how many cards he
drew, and the dealer declines 10 answer, because
he has already made a bet
That the dealer himself has made bet does not
alter the case. rs long the player asking the
question has not made bet and still holds hB cards
he Is entitled 90 an answer II would be easy for
the dealer to draw and throw a chip into the pot
Al the same time so as TO be too quick for any one
