ROYAL SP1DES IS BRIDGE
ITew Plan to Solve the Problem of the
Spade Make.
( CHANCE TO DOUBLE ITS VALUE
Dralrr or Partner Mar Make
Blark Tramp Wortk a Trick
ad Force II to Be
Played.
Among I lie recent Innovation In brldga
which have apparently comn to stay li
the, recently Invented royal spade. K
actly who first suggested this variation
or who hit upon the name It Is difficult
to say, a several widely separated Indi
viduals claim the honor.
A royal spade In a spade declaration
that miiHt be played regardless of the
score, and that every trick over the book
is worth ten points, Instead of two, so that
it takes rank between a heart and a no
trumper and becomea the most valuable of
all the suit declaration, Instead of the low
est. The royal spade Is the result of a reac
tion against a custom which was always
condemned by thinking: players and which
never had any legitimate excuse except to
enable these who played bridge more for
money than for amusement to avoid any
waste of time.
Two or three years ago one of these get
rich quick players suggested that as spades
were worth so little It would be a good
Idea not to play spades unless the value
of the tricks was boosted a bit by doubling.
If the make was not doubled the adversar
ies who refused to double should be obliged
to concede the odd trick to the dealer with
out playing the hand, the honor to be
scored a held and shown and the next
deal hurried up with all possible speed.
Thla elementary suggestion did not work
very well and there who were most In
favor of It found that there were many
occasions upon which the dealer and Ma
partner could have won the game very
nicely with a spade make when they were
pretty well advanced In the score. There
were also occasions upon which the ad
versaries did not feel Justified In doubling,
although they would have liked very much
to have added two or four points to their
score.
Tills brought about the rule that If
either side were 20 up or better the spade
declaration should be played, even if It
were not doubled. Every one thought this
settled the whole difficulty, but experience
proved that ten points to go, requiring five
hy cards, was rather too much to expect
from such weak hands as spades are usu
ally declared on, and that all the advant
age of the position was with the stronger
hands that were opposed to the declaration
and could slaughter It. In order to give
the dealer'a side a chance the limit was
advanced to twenty-four points instead of
twenty.
They found that this Increased, Instead
of diminishing, the advantage of the ad
versaries, because it was always their next
deal and they had a long way the best of
it when they were ahead In the score, hav
ing reached the required limit, while the
dealer's side had not, but had made It
spades through sheer Inability to call any
thing else.
Being twenty-four up, for Instance,
against the dealer's twelve, it was very
safe to play the spade declaration on the
chance that the dealer could not make
mote than one or two by cards, which
would Mill leave him two tricks away from
game In anything that might be declared
afterward. If the dealer failed to make the
odd, the adversaries twenty-four up, would
be changed to twenty-six, at least, and
any old declaration would take them out
on the next deal.
To remedy this defect and also to make
the game a little more sporty, the Whist
club adopted the rule that an undoubted
spade should not be played unless the
dealer'a side was twenty-four or better, and
that no notice should be taken of the non
dealer's score.
This rule put an end to a process whjch
Is known to the gambling fraternity as
"sweating out." Before It was In force the
play of an undoubted spade, It frequently
happened that the dealer would be about
sixteen up and his adversaries twenty-six
or twenty-eight. Nothing could be nicer
than for those opposed to a spade declara
tion at such a score to sit tight and try
to get the odd trick out of It by any sort
of rl.sk. There was nothing to lose, as the
dealer could not possibly go game, while
everything was to be gained by getting the
first deal on the next game.
The rule, which Is still In force and has
been everywhere adopted,, compels the non
dealers, when they have the advantage
In the score, to double if they want to play
the hand.
The next step In the evolution of the
spade declaration was with a view to the
further saving of time. This was to fix
the dealer'a score for honors as well as
for tricks when the spade declaration was
not played. The modern practice is to take
two and four, bo that even If the dealer
holds five honors In one hand In spades
and coud have made a grand slam he can
rot score more than the odd trick and
simple honora if the hand Is not played.
From this rule there is no variation.
Every bridge player knows that there are
certain stages of the score which it is very
deslruble to reach and the aim of every
first-class player Is always to reach one
of those stages when he cannot quite go
game.
On of the Important stopping places
Is the score 24, because the odd trick In
anything but a black make will win tha
game next time. Kvrn a black make may
take the players out from 14, as two In
clubs or three In spades Is not at all Im
probable when such suits are named at
that particular score. So well Is this un
derstood by good players that when dummy
la asked to make it at 24 or better he Is
supposed to select his best suit, no matter
what It Is. I'nder such circumstances a
black make Is a very common selection,
although at any other score It would be
ridiculed.
If the dealer's side happens to be 20
or 22 up and neither partner has any
thing better than a spade make there Is
nothing for it but to declare spades, al
thcugh the impotence of such a make Is
evident to both of them. There are many
hands in which the distribution of the
tri'inps and plain suits Is such that thu
combination Is good for two or three by
cards against the best possible defense.
Hut If the suit that must be selected for
the trump happens to be spades instead
of hearts or diamonds or 'clubs the dealer
snd his partner are not allowed to play
the hand and get those two or three by
tarda unless their adversaries make a
blender snd double.
As players are not usually foolish enough
to double when they have nothing unusual,
it stands to reason that the moment the
dealer'a side makes a declaration which
may easily win two or three by cards, ad
vancing their score from 20 to 22 to the
advantageous position of 24 or 8. the ad
versaries will refuse to permit the hand
to be played.
If the principles thai now govern all
spsde marks were adopted for all other
declarations, bridge would be a very stupid
game, a a moment's reflection will shorn-.
Suppose that to be the case: The dealer
says "Hearts." The adversaries have
nothing at all and realise that if they
play, the hand dummy will probably lay
down the makings of a no-trumper as an
answer to the dealer'a heart make, and the
combination will go gam In a walk, al
though they are nothing up, while the ad
versaries have managed to reach 24. Of
course the players who are 24 up decline
to play the hand by refusing to double
anl tell the dealer to take eight and six
teen. On their own deal the players who
are 24 up go out. Does this strike you as
a fair game or one thst would be attrac
tive as a variation of bridge?
Look at the other aide. The dealer makes
it hearts and either adversary finds that he
can be reasonably certain of winning six
tricks sgalnst the declaration, perhaps
seven, even If his psrtner had not a trick
In his hand. He doubles snd the hsnd
must be played, as the dealer has no
chance to surrender and say: "Take eight
and sixteen and give me the deal."
Suppose that the hand goes even better
than the1 doubter thought, and that tha
dealer loses two or three by cards. The
adversaries acore them all, and at double
value, winning the game on the deal. Con
trast these two rases in which hearts are
simply put under the same rule as that
which now governs spades.
Once establish such a condition of af
fairs and the dealer's advantage at the
game of bridge disappears. The adver
series would have the final decision as to
the play of every hand and the whole
gamo would be completely spoiled, and it
is precisely the spoiling of one-fifth of the
game, the spade declarations, that has
prompted the Introduction of the royal
spt de.
'Why should a player be prevented from
getting out of his cards what they arc
worth?" asks the man on the street, "sim
ply because the suit he selects for the
trump happens to be black and not red?"
That is the whole thing In a nutshell. Why
should one player be allowed to dectare
hearts on six of them to three honors and
to score four by cards, game and rubber
on the play, while another person, holding
ten spades to five honora and cards enough
In his partner's hand to make a grand
slam, la compelled to accept the odd trick
ard simple honors because the adversaries
will not commit stilcfdo by doubling?
The remedy seems to be the royal spade.
Under the new rule, wherever It Is adopted.
If the dealer has a wretched hand and
wishes to protect himself from" r rash
partner, he can declare an original spade,
and If the adversaries want to play the
hand they can double. If they do not
double the dealer will take his little two
and four. If, on the other hand, the dealer
has a hand on which he would gladly de
clare spades for trumps and play them
against anybody, but for the fact that
spades are worth so little and that there
are so many chances that Ms partner may
have a better make, he can declare a royal
spade, which Is as good as anything his
partner can do, and which means that each
trick above the book will be worth ten
points, and that the hand shal! be played,
whether the adversaries double or not. If
they double, each trick will be worth
twenty.
When the dealer declares a plain ordi
nary everyday, spade, his partner has no
power to raise It to a royal spade, but If
the dealer passes the make and dummy has
a good spsde hand, good for nothing else.
he can declare a plain spade or a royal
spade, according to his Judgment. If his
hand Is pretty strong he may be sure that
If he makes it spades the adversaries will
decline to double and the hand will not be
played. Under the old rule, this considera
tion often tempted dummy to make rash
no trumpers, or weak red declarations, Just
to avoid wasting the deal, and such makes
were a very frequent cause of heavy loss.
Given the privilege of declaring a royal
spade and dummy need take no such
chances. If he is reasonably confident of
winning the odd trick with spades for
trumps, he can declare a royal spade on
the massed make and if the hand goes well
he will score ten a trick whether the ad
versaries like It or not.
According to the laws of bridge, honors
are reckoned as multiples of trick values,
and It Is stated that three honors between
partners shall be worth as much as two
tricks, four honors as much as four tricks,
five honors as much as five tricks and
that If there are four or five In one hand
these values shall be doubled, so that four
honors In one hand are worth as much as
eight tricks.
Applying this rule to the spade suit. In
any common spade declaration the tricks
will be worth and simple honors 4 points;
but In a royal spade, as the tricks are
worth 10 points, simple honors will be
worth 20, four honors 40, and four In one
hand SO. This shows that five honors In
one hand In a royal spade will be worth
as much as four aces In one. hand at no
trumps. While opinions still differ as to the In
terest of the new game, the dissenting
voices seem to come entirely from those
who have not tried it. It may be very
wrong to prophesy unless you know, but
many of the beet bridge players In the
country are doing that very thing and are
Insisting that there are some things which
are self-evident and one of those things
Is that the royal spade was a necessity,
called for by the anomalous position of the
spade make.
ITALIAN KACER AT BRIGHTON
Will Make Ills First Appearance on
Mile Track.
NEW TORK. Feb. 19. The opening
twenty-four-hour race meet of the Motor
Racing association at the Brighton Beach
Motordrome will be signalized by the first
appearance of Felice Naxsaro, the great
Italian driver, as a competitor in a race
held on a one mile track. Nazsaro made
his first appearance In this country as a
member of the Flat team In the 1905 Van
derbllt cup race. He also competed In the
1908 Vanderbllt race and In the Automobile
Club of America's Grand "Prise gold cup
race at Savannah In November, 1908. In ISO;
Nazzaro won the three great European road
races of the year with a Flat the Orand
Prix In France, the Kaiser's cup In Ger
many and the Targa Florlo In Italy.
While Nazsaro's appearance on the Brigh
ton tii-ach Motordrome will be his debut
on a one mile track originally built for
horse racing. It will not be his first essay
at track racing, as he has won a number
of races on the big Brooklands track In
England. Nazzaro has been chief of the
testers at the Flat plant In Turin and Is
coming to this country to act In similar
capacity at the American Fiat factory
nearlng completion at Poughkeepsie. He
was due to be here In July, but K. K. Hol
lander of the American Fiat company cabled
for Nazzaro to be hire In time for the open
ing mm at Brighton Beach in May.
In addition to the Flat entry for the first
twenty-four-hour race, at Brighton the
Rainier car hat won the llC.000 Atlanta
gold trophy at the opening of the Atlanta
automobile speedway last November, has
been entered. Uouls A. Disbrow, who drove
the Rainier at Atlanta, will be one of the
drivers, and Wallace 11. Owen will prob
ably be the other. The Loiier, Simplex and
Renault cars, all winners of twenty-four-hour
races last year, are also expected as
competitors In the twenty-four-hour race
In May,

RULES COMMITTEE AT HELM
Expert Think Foot Ball Bales Are
Being Wisely Revised.
CUBTISS AND $EBBAN AGREE
Both Nay Hlht Coarse Has Been
Adopted aad that It Saoald Be
Followed Oat to the
Finish.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Both Julian W.
Curtlss, the well known Yale coach, and
Robert P. Kerran, who In his undergrad
uate days at Harvard was selected an an
All-America fullback, said yesterdav that,
In their opinions, the Intercollegiate Foot
Hall rules committee could not better pro
ceed to a determination of what changes
should be iiiaae In the code than In pur
suing the course It had adopted at fts re
cent session.
Mr. Curtlss and Mr.' Kenan felt cerlaln
that the public could safely entrust a
proper revision of the rules and the future
of the sport to the fourteen members of
the committee, and that It need havo no
fear that the virility of the game would
be Impaired or the safety and pleasuro of
Its participants Jeopardised. Each put his
finger on the present forward pass as the
crux of the situation, Mr. Kernan char
acterizing this play as the "vermiform ap
pcndlxof foot ball, a totally useless and
highly dangerous play."
"The rules committee Is pursuing a very
wise course," said Mr. Curtlss. "In proceid
Ing slowly toward the desired end and
weighing every single point with the great
est attention, both to detail and general
results. You will recall that I said two
months ago that the manner in which the
committee would approach Its subject
would prove Its sincerity of purpose and
ability to 'reform' the game. I think Its
actions at the recent session demonstrated
my point conclusively."
"At the same time that I Bald what I
did about the committee I made the re
mark, you will remember, that the existing
forward pass was the direct cause of al
most every injury of 1908. I believe that
now more than ever, after having exam
ined carefully the statistics of those In
juries. I realize, of course, that seizing
upon the present forward pass as the crux
of the situation and asking Its abolishment
may be contrary to the Judgment and opin
ions of men who know far more about the
game than I do.
"Still, I believe that doing away entirely
with the forward pass that may cross the
line of scrimmage regardless of whether
or not a forward pass Is permitted behind
the line to a player who Is back of it when
the ball Is snapped will do more to stop
Injury and benefit the game than any
change that can possibly be made. Be
cause It Is Impossible to provide adequate
protection to the forwards with the present
forward pass permitted, even if not used;
because It Is a merely strategical play,
without the reason of accuracy and cer
tainty for Its existence; because it does
not improve the game at all, but, on the
contrary. Introduces the element of chance
where before there was science the for
ward pass, as at present permitted, should
be unreservedly condemned and totally
banned."
Krrraa Knocks Forward Pass.
Mr. Kerran was equally opposed to the
forward pass and he said that the game
was more brutal with that play In it than
It had ever been before, with the brutaliz
ing element to be laid, in his opinion, at
the door of the existing forward pass and
outside kick.
"The foot ball rules committee," he said,
"is a board of surgeons. Its patlentt-foot
ball has acute appendicitis, and the for
ward pass is the diseased verlform appen
dix, totally useless and highly dangerous.
But because the game needs a surgical
operation, there Is no need to cut off Its
head. The patient can easily be cured by
a slow, certain operation, which goes to the
root of t malady and eradicates It.
"I believe that If the fourteen .surgeons
who are now working on the patient will
but return somewhat to the game we had
In U98 and 1899, with those modification
needed, because the defense Is so much
better played today than It used to be, the
sufferer will be cured. The present tandem
should go at the same time that the plays
which make the tandem most efficacious
the forward pass and the onslde kick, that
Is are abolished. If the secondary defense
were not pulled away from the forwards
the tandems at the tackles would not be
nearly as successful and as frequently used
as they are. But even with the forward
pass and onslde kick 'removed, the tandem
should not be allowed.
"An Ideal and eminently proper solution,
I think, would be to provide that three at
least of the backs on the attack shall stand
on a line parallel to the line of scrimmage
and not less than four yards back of It.
No attacking player should be allowed to
touch the runner with the ball In any way,
either before or after the scrimmage line Is
reached, although this ' might pwslbly be
modified safely to peTmlt of one man
touching him after the runner reaches the
line -of forwards.
"If the forward pass is permitted behind
the attacking line of scrimmage, I am
afraid that It will give birth to a lot of
mass plays that will be harder to stop
than even the present type, unless it Is
provided that the backs shall stand as I
have Indicated. Nor should a forward be
allowed to Interchange with a back field
Dlaver except for the purpose of kicking.
The present neutral zone might well bo
abolished, too. and the new neutral zone
hetween the catcher of a kick and the
tacklers, that is now being advocated
adonted.
"All In all, I think the progress toward
proper and adequate foot ball reform Is
now well on its way, and the public neeu
have no fears, I think, but that the game,
as It Is finally evolved by the committee.
will be all it should be. At any rate, It
ought to be given a year's actual trial by
the big teams before the public attempts to
come to a final conclusion.
