Strictly American Joker Might Be Useful in Making This II Contract
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

This country has contributed very few things to the deck o1 cards, but one strictly American feature is the joker. It is unheard of in French. decks, and very few English packs carry it.
 Whether the joker was first in- vented as whim of 8 card prin- ter or to meet the rules of a new game requiring an extra card is not definitely known. In any event it is the highest card in the Vic- torian game of eucre. Some author ities believe that the joker was originated as a name plate or trade mark of the printer, while others contend that it was inserted in a pack to replace a card which might be lost or torn.
 In today's hand South bid one no trump because he had to, take some action after North's free spade bid; North called of the no trump with two clubs because his bid was mainly distributional and he could not help in hearts; South bid three clubs as his hand is bet ter than 8 ::mimmy" and North may have underbid in raising only to two clubs, in fear that South's club bid was made on a short suit North jumped to i've clubs because after this rebid, his distributional values indicated 6 fair play for the contract.
