r. T. C. says: We played duplicate

Club last week.. What should be done

A insists that II II IL the original deal
the hand should be dealt over again.
There are no oficial rules governing
this form Of the game a. yet. IN many
they are allowing a second round

bets they get 1875 for the higher trick
score.
Law IL makes no allowance for an
unfinished game and gives tho bonus OF
1876 for a complete game only. that be-
ing considered the equity Of a game in
a rubber. Unless A and B have won a
game they get nothing. In some dupl!-
cate matches they allow so points bonus
for the higher trick score In ar unfn-
ished game. but there Is no rule for Il.
r. T. r. says: The deciarer follows
suit to three rounds Of clubs. the third
of which Is trumped by the player on
hi. right. After several tricks have
been played the declarer overtrumps
this player when n club Is led by
dummy. whereupon dummy asks X he
has no clubs. Being answered In the
negative dummy says: Then some one
has revoked. That Is only twelve clubs
and no one follows suit" The player
on the right then corrects his mistake.

was in tho same suit m by the same

The revoke In the third trick Is estab-

can call a lead when the declarer wins
the next trick.
b IL correct. Dummy had no right &c
