SCHOOL FOR CARD PLAYERS.

Auction Bridge. J. w. g. says: z bids
a club. which and pass, bidding a
diamond. z then says. "One heart" and
u says, II double a heart" Y insists
that u cannot double until 1t comes to
her turn. but A contends that n player
can double at any time. Is there any
law?
Doubling out Of turn is subject to the
same penalties as bidding out OF turn.
and the penalties for It will be found
under the laws for declarations although
there Is no mention OF them under the
laws for doubling. The penalty is that
either adversary may demand new
deal or may allow the double to stand,
the player to the left Of the irreguiarity
making the next bid.
l.. J. q. asks for the opening bid on
six diamonds to the King nine. four
clubs TO the Jack ten. one small heart
and ace Jack OF spades.
One spade. II will be time enough to
show the long minor suit of diamonds
on the second round Of the bidding, II
there develops any object in 80 doing.
Poker C. c. L. says: No Jack. AS first
bet. he chips. Four men behind him see
"
shows three fives and throws them into the
discard. refusing to call +. II is insisted
that this action might influence others
and that A has no right to show his hand.
1t IL against the ethics of the game. but
there is no actual penalty for 1t In the
laws, as there Is no means Of judging
what damage has been done, II any.
@ v G. saya. A fu,o ana
bets a chip without looking. Two players
call him. whereupon A says: II had three
deuces to go In WITH and the others at
once throw their hands into the discard
1t is then found that the dealer has given
a three cards. which he turns up in show
ing his hand. Who gets this pot?
A gets 1t. Although his hand Is foul
who il going to dispute II with him? For
all A knows both the hands thrown up
were foul Players who throw up their
interest In pot after calling for a sight
must suffer for their own carelessness.
X. q. II. asks the chance for filling an
inside straight In a seven hand game.
The number in the game has nothing
to do with 1t. There are only four cards
out Of the forty-seven unknown cards that
will fill. so 1t is ~ to 4. 70 about II to 1.
against filling.
Casino. ?. +. says. Four playing as
partners. ABB against w. with two mines
on the board. A builds a ten. In his turn
h puts an ace on the other nine and calls
IL a ten so as to take in six cards, as
both A and Il have tens. The fourth
player also holds ten. Can he take In
both the tens on the table, or only one
Of them?
The fourth player can take in both. as
they are both tens. just as he could take
in a single ten and built ten. II often
happens that player will know in the
last round that his partner has some such
card as a ten, and an adversary having
built a ten this player puts his ten down.
but does not take In. so that his partner
may take in both the build and tho ten
with his ten. He cannot build two tens,
as he has no second ten In his own hand
Pinochle. J. A. w. says: A meld,
40 Jacks and 90 spades In two hanC
game He admits the pinochhe Is lost
as he had no card to meld Il with. but OF
getting the other pinochle he insists tina
ne can score 500, although he did no
score the 40. II bets the doubse Is M
good unless laid down all at once.
II is wrong He might as well sa,
, that one could not score so queens b,
on the table.
l.. 8 says The bidder revokes. bu,
he had enough in hand to make good hi.
bid before the revoke occurred. Is Their,
any penalty in that case?
He loses all his score for cards II hi.
melds are enough to make good his bic
he keeps that score. but II they are mo-
enough he loses everything and 10 SCI
back.
F. W B. asks II II IL necessary to heat
the trick after the cards are up when
plain suit is led. or only when the leat
Is a trump.
Every trick. no matter what Is led,
Cribbage T. d. n. says: Three play

Il peggng the fifteen, Then 3. 4. 3. OF
which c pegs a run OF three for tn
| three cards in sight. A plays an ace ant
pegs run OF four and b has to sa

Not exactly. When c played the tire
! he had a run OF five. and when A playe
the ace ne had run OF six. as will n
seen II all the cards are laid out IL
order. those In sight having nothing Il

T.. = says that the following hand i

with a four turned. lie gets three run

The hand is worth only twenty ION,
The three fours are good for three pairs
Each four with a nve and a six give
/ three runs Of three. and each OF thes
runs is fifteen. That is total OF
and ana 6. or 81 IN all. The m!stak
made by so many persons In countin
hands OF this character Is In taking NV
tours. a Ave and a six and calling II a
eight hand. which In correct, but then the
substitute n new four for ono OF the oil
ones and call II another eight hand
The error lies in recounting the run c
three and the fifteen made with the fou
that remains from the last eight hand,
