s,ippOsr fo0r play bids hut does not get out VINO
has n chance among the others
II is principle In all auction games that the one
VINO takes the risk OF bidding for the play shai'
have some co'npensating advantage. otherwise
there would be no inducrment for him to bid. ~
he was ahead, he could sit still and sweat out, as
they used TO do at clnch. This compensation
Is the privilege OF the lrst count.
II the bidder has made good his bid and has enough
iogoout hr is out no matter what the others score
i,ut II lie Is not out the others take their turn 10
go out lust as IN the ordinary game In which there
is no bidder !! the game Is close, this necessthtes
calling out by those who are not the bidders.
suppose A gets the play. but does not get out,
u. G aud u mus, watch their own counts and call
out II they get to 1000 Then. II II " found at the
end OF the hand that they cannot get out the one
who called out wins, II he was out at the tmo he
called.
To make sure OF this. his tricks up 10 the time
he calls should no kept separate. Tho common
practice OF letting things 90 until the end OF tho
hand and then giving the game to the one Win
the highest score. II two non bidders are out Is
contrary to the whole spirit OF pnochle.

makes them $50. G D get the next trick and call
on as 'nIS ,SS are S lGa' AB insist on playing on
In a partnership game there can be no calling
OUT as there are only two sides. the bidders and
their opponents. As the bidders have the hrs'
count. the other side has nothing to say uDtll "
Is decided whether not the bidders can get out,
II the, cannot then the other side has nothing 10
do but TO show that they have reached 1000, 1f'hey
nave that settles It, hu, tho bidders can insist on
playing ont the hand 10 the last card

WI. X. says; In cutting for deal. Is 1t high or
The lowest crihbagc card deals. and as the ace
never ranks above the King In crthbaEe ace Is
always low.
J. +, II. says: a is dealing and turns up one Of
P's cards four B objects to taking the card. as

No. hut he marks two holes penalty and can de
mand fresh deal II he has not seen any OF his other
cards.
w. S. J; SAYS. \ and are playing. n insists 81,
on the top card, 50 that the next shall ne the
turn UP a bets he has the right to cut the pack
on where he pleases.
The ono card Gu, was device OF the card sharpcrs
In the old days when they had the starter shufied
up to match their hands. The law says that any
cut is legal long az least four cards are left
In each packet. This cYcc,ua,ly bars tho one card
cut,
Quit. G. II. y. saws; Where can the rules fot
this game be found and what is II, round game
or a game Of skill
ou, is variation Of Newnarke, or stops. some.
times called tantan. but played with fve suits
special pack is required and the cards arc useless
for any other game.
calls attention 10 the error and n takes his card
is an important one Tor Rs partner to know
That depends whose proper turn It was to
lead " the lead was with RS partner that player
can be called upon to lead or not 10 lead trump
but specified plain suit cannot be demanded
II II was not the turn OF either or to lead then
the card played In error by u is simply an exposed
card and mus; be left on tho table, subject TO he
called,
Shasta Sam. J. l.. T. wants TO know what this
game Is. and whence the name.
II is a variety of California Jack. but with the
remainder OF the pack turned face down. The
play Is the same as In seven up but the winner OF
each trick draws fresh card from thr pack. 1t Is
not much OF game. because. although the rules
require player to follow suit. ~ is lnposhbIc 70
tell whether he does so or not.
Euchrc. +. McD wants TO know the best way
OF moving the players In progressive game at
private house.
When the object Is to have the guests meet one
another as much possible the usunl plan is 10
let the winning lady and gentleman leave the table
and 20 In opposite directions, each taking for the
partner the loser OF the opposite sex that he or
she Nncis at tho table moved to. This prev ents
those who have been partners once from catching
up to each other again at later tables. and perhaps
hnding the same pair opposed to them
Beziquc. N. R. f. wants 70 know the difference
between bez'Qut and pnochlc'
In pinochc. which Is peculiarly an American
game all combinations OF fours laid the table
such as four kings. must be OF different suits; In
bczloue they can be any suits In bc2lQue nny
number OF mcds can bc made at a time. and they
can be scored as ias, as tricks are won,
This allows player TO lar down king. queen OF
spades and lack of diamonds, scoring 10 and calling
"for,y to score" When one card added 10 those
on the table counts two ways, this Is an advantage,
In pluochle one OF the ways would he lost,
In beaiauc the trump sequence Is worth 10
and double bcZQuc. which is the same as double
plnocnlr is worth 500 but there are no such counts
as .0O0 aces $40 kings.
Poker j. ". b. says When cards are exposed
In dealing for the draw, accidentally OF otherwise,
bS the dealer or the player must the player take the
card so exposed
II the player exposes his own cards he has no
alternative but TO keep them. II the dealer ex
noses card must he presumed TO be accidentally,
unless the player asks him 10 turn UP. In which
case the player Is responsible. Cards exposed In
sdyerten,ly by the dealer canno, be taken. and the
unvcr to whom the card would have fallen must
wait until all the others. including the dealer have
becn help,d before his ca ard can be replaced
n s. saws: The gaiar had been In prog ress
about an hour when noticed that the hve OF clubs
had brru left In thr shell u at once Insisted that
fay ,p cal nn II, " a,
who had all the money. called on to give back
ali hut his original stake and start over again.
II Is 90 be hoped that refused To do anything Of
the Kind II Is "a Law In all card games that when
the mick Is found TO be imperfect the dcnl In which
the iu,urrlerton is discovered and all bets depend
Ing ON IT, are void but all previous results made
with the imperfect pack stand good. But for this
law 1t would be very easy for loser TO make pack
,Inurrteci II does not require any wonderful
.ic,rht q, hand pick up an apparently empty shell
and md card In II.
lN W says: ON the call shows queens up
and Il l,rr scNrns. but Il mas only four cards

IN, hand OF more or less than livc cards Is foul
WnIlr II cannot possibly gain any advantage by
having less than his right number of cards. the
