PART NER'S DISCARD
A WHIST PROBLEM
Importance of Keeping Guard
on Strong Adverse
Suits.

Some one has said that the best plaver
is he who knows when to shift suits and
what to discard. Though these things
hardly comprise the whole curriculum OF
whist players education. it cannot be
denied that they are questions of the first
importance. Skill in handling them Is
difficult to acquire. and the latter subject,
in particular. is often extremely confus-
ing. At whist. when a player cannot fol-
low suit to the card led. and cannot or
does not wish to trump, he must play a
card of some other suit. This is called
"discar riding"
What to discard says "Cross-Ruff'' in
the Toronto Mail and Empire. often
proves a puzzle to the most expert play
ers. and what inference to draw from
the discard is as often a puzzle to the
partner. Is 1t any wonder, therefore,
that the discard is SO troublesome to the
great ma jority? Is it any marvel that
schemes without number have been in
vented for showing without the shadow
of a doubt 60 exactly what the partner
Is desired to do?
The theory upon which the discard
should be made is we'll expressed by
Matthews in his Advice to the Young
Whist Player" as follows:
III weak IN trumps, keep guard on
your adversaries' suits. II strong, throw
away from them. and discard as much
as possible from your partners strong
suits in either case
When your partner is leading trumps
from strength, and you have to discard.
il you have a strong suit il is more than
probable that your partner, by leading
you q good supporting card in your suit.
may assist you to establish It, and with
his long trumps will bring it in. By dis
carding from your weak suite you there
fore Inform him as to which is your
strong suit. and he should then. unless
he has a better game of his own. lead
you the best cards he has in that suit. In
cases of this kind. unguard honors and
blank aces If necessary. but keep your
strong suit intact. II you have two dis
cards you can make the situation clear
by discarding first your weakest suit and
then your next weakest. If. however. you
discard the same suit twice. it means that
your partner should lead that one OF the
other two suits in which he can give you
the most support. If hearts are trumps.
and the opponents have shown clubs to be
their strong suit, if you discard a diamond
your partner at once assumes that your
suit Is spades.
Here is a simple illustration OF the
discard to show your strong suit. Trump,

Forging Ahead-Treasury
Stops Agriculture A.

The team championship contests of the
past week furnished a surprise in the
strong showing made by Treasury against
Agriculture A. The match was not brought
to Il definite issue owing to the postpone
ment of the game on board 3-Ray against
Roherts-but the three games completed
yielded two wins to Treasury against one
loss. they have the draw assured with
excellent chances of winning eventually.
The honorS went to Halstead and Sat
terley on the Treasury side. The former.
on board i. offered his favorite queens
gambit, which Huntington successfully
defended for time, but he was finally
caught in mating trap. Satterley was
somewhat fortunate to win from Stephen
son, however, as the latter had the SUI
perior position. but. through adopting
forcing tactics, fell into a serious error
which more than turned the tables on
him. Agriculture's lone winner was Ia
poleon. The tri-state champion has been

General High School Notes.

\ rumor is afloat that Technical High
might turn one of its corridors into an
indoor running track in order that the
bows who show ability along this line
might be given an opportunity TO put IT
TO advantage. There is every reason to
believe that the Machinists should turn
out as good a track team as in the other
branches of athletics, as plenty OF ma
tsrial Is on hand at present to derive
some classy cinder path artists. AS
the track Is undoubtedly the foundation
OF all athletics. and is Of great aid in
all high school competitions. Tech ath-
letes would benefit by the training. and,
along with the natural ability some of the
boys at that institution have displayed
this school would turn out teams second
10 none OF the preparatory school teams
in this section OF the country.
An excellent nucleus for a winning
track team could be gathered from the
boys who have displayed form and abil-
ity on both the gridiron and base ball
diamond at Technical. Farmer, Spencer
Morris of the foot ball team, along with
Hildreth and keun of the basket ball
team have plenty of speed and DASH
and would compose strong quint OF
sprinters. Besides Corridor and Hodges.

distance runs could De gdrnered from the
large number of boys now attending
school No better novice weight men
could be desired than Spransy, Bullough
and Mccarthy, who with little infor-
nation on the fine points of the game
would soon show true form which would
easily win them a place in the weight
events in the coming indoor meets
Capt Rathbone. who was recently elect

over there to work with him for a small
