S. NJ. p. says: Al the eleventh trick A leads and
as he docs 81 he observes that the dealer, y, has
their right number. II is found that the dealer
has neglected to play 10 one Of dummy tricks.
The adversaries can claim a new deal. or they can
let the deal stand and call the supernuous card in
rs hand a part OF the short trick. but It does not
constitute a revoke.

Is ~ We want THE SUNS opinion.
This game is getting Ave hundred and can ecs
euChre mixed up. There Is no eating on ths Acs
in hve hundred because there are no partnerships
II players invent a game for themselves they muAs
also invent rules TO Mt II. II nve hundred 10 70 Be
played in partnerships, but these partnerships are
not 20 be permanent. as In calling on aces, Il would
seem that the fairest way would he 20 lump the
value of the tricks taken by each side. II the
values are 100 and 40. as in this case. A and D should
each take 100 and c, D and z should each score %.
c. ". b. says: A has to play 10 a club led. He
holds the Joker. Can he trump tho club. or must
He must follow SUIT n the play IN a no-trumpor.
II is only when he has none of the suit led that the
holder OF the Joker can use II as a trump In o no
trumper.
Euchre. J. p. o. says: A bets that he can deal
ifhe likes. so that at the end of the deal each player
has nVe.
Ais wrong. II the same number Of cards are not
given TO each player. Including the dealer himsslft
in each round, II IL a nisdeal.
J, $; says, Can a player play alone AGAINST tss
dealerslone hand after he has passed the turn upf
II the game Is railroad euchre, yes. In trhgh
euchre IL Is not allowed to play alone against the
lone hand under any circumstances but In railroad
euchre when one says he will play alone and asks for
his partners best, either OF his adversanes may AJAX
for his partners best also, and play alone against
the lone hand. even II he has previously refused 10
order up the trump.
Cali ace euchre. $. c. says: The dealer took up
the trump. a diamond. and called for the acc OF
clubs, among them the ace. but he led a small one.
\ bets that he Is obliged to lead the ace II he leads
! clubs az ali. b bets he can lead any card he pleases.
b Is right. II he thinks II to the advantage OF
the partnership to conceal the fact that he is tbs
partner. he has a right to do so. II Is usual for tho
leader to play the suit called for when he Is NOS ths
partner, so as to ind out who the partner is A
overlooks the fact that II the ace Is not In play the
one holding the king or queen might be the
partner. or mlgh imagine himself TO be. and that
playe would give a tricks.
Checkers. c. R. S. says: liza PLAYER nnds that be
can Csn,JJ Jump (, one he man abIIys OF ~ l1m ,un SW he m iSc m nsn ne 'n'
He can jump which he pleaSes.
X. A. says: A makes a move which would cost
Il three men, II y took the oner. Can B decline tho
move and let A hun him!
II declines to take the man offered. A can either
make II take II. OF he can hun BIS man; that ID. re-
move from the board the man that should have been
moved by b to make the capture.
Poker. s. s. says: a opens the pot and an but
d pass After D has put up, A looks at his cards
and announces that he didn't have openers and
s sists that ne wins the money. even il be has nothing
but a pair of fOurs.
d is right. The rule is that a pot once opened.
even II wrongly. must be played for II any ons
comes in against the false openers. D is playing
for the pot, and II as hand 10 foul ID takes the
money.
Again: r asks for three cards. being the opener
and also nrst man 10 be helped. The dealer runs
only. and shows up three sevens 70 show that he
made a mistake In his call. Must no take the thres
laid on
II has not lifted nor looked at any Of tho thIes
laid on aud II the next man has not been helped
he may amend his call, and take two csrds only,
W. M. r. says: II the opener Of a Jack pot takes
the money without being called is he Obliged to
II he has not drawn any cards, that IL. II no one
has come In against him. he must show his wbOle
hand. II he has drawn cards and bets after the
draw he need not show anything but openers
and that he has a fair hand.
x. p. says: The age puts M nve call ten. All
good he wants 20 raise It ten more. although he
announced that II was nye call ten. Can he rAiss
Yes. When II is the turn of any player to make
rood or to put up any chips in the pot he always
has the choice OF three lines Of play: TO drop out.
