Of such . rule. and II Is left to THE s"sso deohoe
II for us-
The GENERAL usage is not TO allow any one 70 BID
the seller out, because even II q Mayer could bid
three or four. no one can overbid him IL he give
the seller within one OF out. The objection 70 TINS
Ia that N the seller cannot be offered moro 'nhn one
he may be certain Of making the two he wants on
bis own pitch. whereas II he took one, he would not
be sure OF making the other one on the play. Tvs
the rule in some places to let a player bid the 'uh
value of his hand. as c does, and " the seller accepe'
he scores TO within one Of game only at most. III ne
refuses, he must make as many as bid. even " ne
docs not want SO MANY 10 60 out, just as a bidder
might have to ofer and make three 70 keep another
player from the pitch. even II he wanted but one TO
90 out.
Bid whist. N, X. L.. wants TO Know wna' this
game Is iye, and how many can play u.
Pour play, as 10 ordinary whist, each In turn
bidding once for the privilege OF naming the trump
suit. The bids are the number o. tricks they MINK
they can take. but they do not name the suit
Each side counts one for every thok taken In the
sueeessfui bidder counting nrst. The game u 100
points. u one player raises his partners bid. the
hisher bid has TO name the trump suit.

widow IL q known as a bold stand" 4 bets q
We cannot md Il in any Hoyle or encyclopaedia.
A bold stand Is another name for a simple pool,
in which no trump is turned and no widow dealt.
There being no pool to play for every one gets
cnrds and those that are looed pay up. II would
appear that Be dennition was nearer the true
one.
Berlque. G. g. N, wants 70 know the difference
between this game and pinochle.

card pack. The trump sequence Is worth $50. And

Dummy cannot correct a score until II Is put
down wrongly. and there Is nothing In the law
which permits him TO call attention TO the nghtful

Under Law az dummy's action In this case clearly
bars the dealer from eKacting the revoke penalty.
r. p. wants 20 know why the suit values 70 up
two by two. snd no-trump Jumps four points
better.
Counting - points for each trck at no trumps
is due TO the persistence OF an error which crept
into the game at some time In Its carly history
probably ,thfouth some persons forgetting Just
what the count was and stating II TO be IL. As
originally played, no trumps was worth 10 points,
and three by oards was exactly enough 70 win the
csme. -Four aces In one hand were also worth 90
