As six hand euchre Is a game for three sets Of

would not be equal. Auction euchre can be played
by four persons. but both Ave and seven hand

Poker. ]. II. B. says: A bets that a hand Of
A.. 2. q. 4. Is not a straight according to the present
accepted rules of poker. Il Is recognized as a
straight in the club. but we should like a decision.
In making UP a hand the acc may be considered
as the highest or lowest of the suit. at the pleasure
Of the player, but IL cannot be both. II the hand
given. A. 2. ,. 4. ). were a flush, the player would
have 10 call 10 a hvo high straight flush. or an ace
high flush, without the straight. There are other
games In which the player Is allowed 20 rank tho
ace according 70 the demands Of his hand. as In
vingt et-un, In which he can call &c either 1 or H..
G. and N. say: A opens a jackpot. Several
come In. and after the bets are made the opener
has been won A is called on 10 show his hand. lie
must show his whole hand.
IL Is not clearly stated that A drew cards: but as
several came In. and A Is stated TO have dropped
out after bets had been made. It Is presumed that he
drew cards. II so. he cannot be called upon 70 show
anything but openers. II he dropped out after
opening and before drawing cards he would have
had TO show his whOlc hand.
B. r. wants to know II there is any limit to the
number Of cards that can be dealt face up without
necessitatlng a new deal.

the player 10 kaCcu. nc must take IT, Dug II Two or
more cards are faced there must be n new deal.
In dealing for the draw there Is no limit fixed by the
rules for the number OF CARTS that may be faced.
as II would obviously be unfair to give any dealer
the power TO make a misdeal out OF IL BY facing cards
after all the antes we're up.
r. F. R. says: a bets that II the dealer gives i've
cards to each player and then starts TO deal another
round by dealing a sixth card 20 one Of them IL is a |
misdeal the moment the sixth card leaves the pack.
A Is wrong. The laws state that II Is only when

PinOchie, 5. NJ. $. says: Suppose in two hand

drawing from the stock; or could he draw the card /
tnckS
A player can call out at any time, whether he
Is In the lead or not: but he must remember that
such q call ends the game at once. IL he Is right |
he wins; but II he Is mistaken he loses the game, /

This is surprising that the game Is 1000 points
UP; but auction plnochlc Is usually played 80 many
deals 20 a game nowadays. In three hand. six
deals: In four hand. eight. This makes IL q fairer
game. |
b. l.. says: with regard 10 your decision that
the trump sequence Is worth 100 In three or four 1
hand ! beg To disagree. II requires the king and
queen In tho sequence 10 complete the meld, and as
there Is only one meld in three hand. the entire
count must be mfde on the One meld. and the count
for one meld Is $50. To get 100 you must mako
two melds. |
The rule il that in three or four hand the player
may make as many melds as he can lay on the table
In conforming TO the rule OF one fresh card from tho
hand for each additional meld. This allows him to
meld tho trump marriage for 20 and then 70 add
the A, j. 10 for $50 more. As every player knows
he can dol u that way. no is allowed 20 skip the actual
process and take his 100. 10 IN curious that those
who make their ground Of objection the fact that
I'm three or four hand the meld must all DO made aE
once. do nos live up to that principle when they
lay down the four kings and queens. According
20 their own logic Nhls meld Is worth only I4O, of
which 80 is for the kings and 90 for tho queens.
yet they insist on scoring II as worth 20. How
do they get tho go unless they lay down tho cards
nrst the 50 kings. then three OF the
queens 20 marry them. and nnslly the fourth queen
for 90 aueensf II IL Is wrong 70 lay dOVxb the 20
