bidder and namer ot tbo trump leails ( fjp e
11. Setting Hack The Bldo naming thn
trump must make as mauy points as they
have bid or bo set b.ick thut number ; even
If they have no polats on their t > core they
are still sot back the full number and put "in
the hole "
13. Counting The side naming the trump
count us muny points us they make , pro
vided they make us mauy or moio thau their
bid Tha other side always count all they
maico
13. Following Suit Wlion trump is led
jou must follow suit If you have it If you
have no trump you may as well throw up
your hand , unless your adversaries fallod to
notlco that you nro out of trumps , In which
case It Is better to hold out until they do
notlco it When a lay card is led follow suit
if you have It unless you prefer to trump
14. Trumplnsr You always have the
prlvilogoof trumping ( See Note a. )
15 Game Twonty-ouo points constitute a
game at the head table ( tieo Note 4. )
10. Playing Out a Hand At the head
table they should always Hnish a hand
which is commenced before cither side Is
twenty-ono. Then the side having most
points , if twonty-ono or more , wins the game
and taps the boll
17. All Games Stop At the tap of the
boll the games stop at all tables and the side
having most points , counting nil points made
up to that moment , wins the game und
moves up to the next table In case of a tie
score ladles cut and low wlus Each game

the contestants cau each choose a partner
and play another game to aocldo it In case
four persons nro tied tuny draw cuts for
partners nnd play another game to deoldo ,
Note 1 After arranging your cards you
calculate how many points you can probably
make with jour best suit , with the aid of
our partner , nna'tbo ohanoo you both have
of drawing more cards of that suit , and you
bid accordingly , soaring In mind section 11 ,
Holding an ace with one or two cards to baok
it would justify a bid ot six aud it the back
ing cards are high you might bid seven or
eight or mnro Holding live-spots iu your
hund is not particularly desirable to name
trump on , If you bold high cards and name
tbo trump it is better that your partuor hold
the flvo spots Never bid unnecessarily
high ; got the making of trumps as cheap as
possible If jou have n poor hand and bus
pect that your adversary Is anxious to name
the trump it Is sometimes well to bid more
than your hand justifies so as to lead your
adversary to ralso the bid and thus lake
greater risks
Note 2 The flrnt lead Is usually the ace of
trumps ( but this , of course , depends upon
the band ) , and la the partners turn to play
ho should play a llvo-spot if he has one , aud
thus save it to their side
Note 3 If a lay card Is led the proper
play for the third hand is to trump higher
ban flvo spot , to prevent the fourth hand
from trumping with a llvo-spot. Hut if ilia
Avo-spots have boon played , or tbo third
hand holds thorn or knows the fourth hand
does not hold ono , his trump need not thus
bo wasted

evening game and not progressively , tbe
game is HI
