that declaration. IL this true,
and II II Is has II been generally adopted
In the East:
There IL no such rule In any code OF
at present. The suggestion has
often been made. the argument in It's
favor being tina, ii avoids discussion ~
who bid hrst and also gives the part
with guarded honors a chance to he

Neither Of these methods would be
fair, to those who played the hand in
good faith, even II the change could be
proved and the table at which IL took
place located. This IL one uf the many
posed dummy Is liable and for which no
suitable remedy has az Yet been sug-
gested. II IL usually ciassed AZ "a rub

Mrs. p asks for. some simple schedule
for q little private party OF eight meet
ing for one evening only for Individual
prizes.
Tie 5es; plan In 10 select n pivot, "EP

others 10 move 20 the next larger nuir-
her. then the number opposite 10 which

it 10 the rule that the player getting 1V0
ahead OF his opponei.;s VIM the game
whether he Is sac plus ~ the score or
not. Is says he must make 500 actual
points to win.
I'll. modern rule Is to call II a game
won when any individual player Of three
or partnership Of four gets 500 ahead.
This IL to prevent the side that Is be-
hind from going deeper into the hole
all the time to save the game. II 4 ami

plus y and z win. This rule is given IN
the Cn!ted States Playing Card Com

n. n. W. ays: A bid seven hearts
aud calls on the ace OF diamonds. n
tina, player has the lead should he lead
tina, card:
There Is no calling on the ace In i've
hundred.
s.. 9. IA q \ gets II at no trump and
wins every trick, which ne sang gives
him the game. no matter how many ne
was before making the grand siam.
There are no smudges in Ave hundred.
II \ has bid ten no trnnps and makes
il. he is game on.y provided he was not
in tine hole when ne made the bid. II
lie did not bid ten, all ne can score is
what he did bid.
Auction Pinochle. o " says; We
nnd Hoyle a little indefinite on this
point. Il says eacn PLAYER has three
bids. Docs that mean that the hrst
player has three bids, and that the next
pla! or does not bid until he IL through?
That is correct. The frs. p,a! er may
! make only ore or two bids. % none at
all. Tho second player then taxes up
the budding where the first left of. max
ing his bids to the player vino has sur
: ytved the nrst bidding.
II. Il says Pls9i Ing with the joker.

FIVE and three Of spades Which wins?
A insists that the best y can do with
the Joker IL TO call II a queen Of spades.
and then A wins, AS he has 4 seven next,
against rs i've next.
The laws OF nistigris allow the hvlder
Of tho joker 10 call It anything he
| plesses, even II he has the duplicate In
! his own hand. This is only fair. as some
one else may have the duplicate Of am
card ie would name. and he should no.
be barred on that account This being
so rs hush in spades is headed by ace
ace king, while AS club flush in spades
is only ace king queen high.
