big Nashville whist tournament is the suggestion from Mr Foster In the New York Bun on team training teams that make the best showing in the big tournaments are made up of careful analytical players who do not take the wrong er 1 at critical points and tlo not venture on shut cuts through unknown territory The development of such a team a matter of education and many systems of training have been tried with a view to getting the best results from the material at hand Minneapolis team used to get together In the top story of a big office building and discuss situations until the minds the men who were to play together acted as one The Hamiltons used to have single-table practice games In which the play of any member of the team was open criticism an adverse verdict bv the majority of the others carrying with It a fine £5 cents The American Whtst Club of Boston used to prov do the players with blanks on which they were required to write their oplmens of the position of the remaining trumps and master cards after eight or nine tricks had been played So useful ia this system of training that It was found possible for experts like Becker place about 85 per cent of the cards correctly The Howell Club of Boston gives each plaver a slip on which he records the order In which he has played his thirteen cards and a committee afterward goes over these records and criticises them charging the players with palpable errors There are five teams In training and Che Individuals making the fewest errors are gradually promoted to the first team their positions being secure only so long as they continue to make fewer errors than the p'ayers on the other teams As a comparative study of what constitutes the best work done by tbe most noted thinkers In American whist The American HI give from week to week the systems the most widely known clubs The following is the Albany system: Tbe Ace Is led from the following combinations A and three or more others A and others A and five or more others with sura card of re-entry Note With ace and five or si small and ho re-entry card lead the fourth best The King Is led from all the combinations given In the Trist system of American leads The Queen Is led from the usual combinations given In the tables of American leads except the queen jack ten (From this combination tbe ten Is led Tbe Jack Is led from all the combination given in the Trist system of American leads The Ten Is led from the queen Jack ten combination four or more in suit From king Jack ten wnd others lead fourth best Governed by the holding any Irregular opening lead is a positive through the honor turned The Drayson system of discarding as found In the of Practical fifth edition Always for with five or more Unless developments show it unwise before Is completed If completed partner must lead them unless fourth player has also Always lead trump If there Is not an honor turned reserving the right to stop after one round This calling for and leading trumps from the above holdings has been rigidly enforced for ten years and found to be trick-winning On tbe lead of ace queen or jack led originally or at any time when it is believed to be from strength from above combinations echo holding three exactly On the lead of a small trump echo holding four or more An echo In plain suit with any trump led savs at least four San Francisco Call Don't try for tqo much There are only thirteen tricks play to try to get fourteen It can't be done The great success of the Albany team for several years was due mainly to Us sound conservative play They ran few risks took few and lost very few tricks They won match after match oa the tricks given awav by their opponents The players who are constantly lookigfor coups who are always looking for big gains are the ones that lose Occasionally of course they hit It just Just about often enough to encourage them to persevere and make think that their system is winner but the Judgment erf all experienced observers Is that this system Is a loser In the long run Howells The following has come as a compliment to one who well deserves It and shows that there Is whist material of an undoubted stamina In this town "MILWAIKEE Wis March 28 1898 Mr Shawb Nashville Tenn Dear Sir" You have probably seen in recent numbers of several references to the bailds' plan Tbe Idea Is to have a aeries of

Is to be conducted by correspondence each long-suit pair plnvlng In turn against every short-suit pair and vice versa and the purpose Is to test7 as fairly as can be the value of the two As Just
