no trumps. and during the play the do
clarer revokes. but only his partner
notices II. Nothing is said until the
score Ia down and the rubber finished.
The adversaries starr an argument that
lasts some time and finally discover
that there must have been a revoke.
which they claim. on the ground that
the cards have not been cut for the fol-
lowing deal. vidc Law IS.
The term used in the law referred
to. the following DEAL Ia usually taken
to mean the deal next following the one
in which the revoke occurs in the same
game or rubber. II the deal In which the
, revoke occurs ends the rubber and moth
ing is said until the rubber score is
agreed to It Ia certainly too late TO
claim the penalty.
+. H.. w. asks what happens " a hand
that has been played at several tables
comes to a table at which all four play
ers pase without a bid"
The game II duplicate. OF course.
The score IL entered as nothing tn
nothing. and the cards are passed on
to the next table. Unless curiosity
prompts those who have passed to play
the hand over just TO see what there
was in It.
r. u. NJ. asks the difference between
the Foster echo n the down and out.
The frs, IL used only in no trumpers
the second only in trump declarations.
In no trumpers. when the third hand
makes no attempt to win the trick. he
plays his second best. regardless OF num-
Der or value. ON the second round he
always keeps the smallest card. SO that
with 10. 3. s. 4 he would play y. then s.
with 10. $. 4 he would play 8. then 10.
Against a trump declaration the higher
of the two small cards is played first.
W. Il. Il. says: z deals and bids two
diamonds. I. says two clubs. which y
and II at once pass. Il insists on his
right to make two diamonds the final
bid. as the two clubs was not enough.

diamonds 1t reopens the bidding.

hearts. A. to the dealer. he is evil
IDENTITY one OF those that increase th'
contract when they have a weak suit
bidding two on nothing but length.
II. r. says Il in AS lead. AS he over
took BIS last trick. but Is did not notic'
/; and both players lead practically a
the same instant. The declarer insists
on calling a suit as penalty for the leat
cut OF turn. as II was not BIS lead.
Hut II was AS lead. and II b did no
lead ahead OF A all that the declarei
can do il. to call rs card exposed ant
