is played in so many different ways and 
under so many different rules that there
 seems to be a necessity for more rigid 
and exact ,laws than exist at present4  
,the ,laws of ,euchre1 as here appended1
 have stood the test of time and        
received the attention of many          
scientific ,euchre-players4  ,if any    
game of cards is worth playing at all1  
it should be played according to rule in
 the strictest interpretation1 and no   
favors should be given or expected4  ,an
 attempt has been made in these ,rules  

to make the penalties commensurate with 
the advantage which might be gained by  
the error4 ,a common instance of this is
 in the case of a lead out of turn4 ,it 
often happens that the exposed card is  
an advantage to the side so offending1  
and the adversaries have no redress4    
,here the ,whist ,law has been applied1 
allowing the non-offending side the     
option of two penalties4 ,see ,rule #eb4
  ,another instance occurs in a lone    
hand4 ,an exposed card can only benefit 
the adversaries1 consequently no penalty
 is attached2 but should the lone hand  
lead out of turn1 he is supposed to be  
attempting to gain an advantage1        
therefore ,rule #ajd has been adopted4

#ge  ,illustration     ,,the ,,laws ,,of
 ,,euchre4   ,,the ,,rubber4  #a4 ,the  
rubber is the best of three games4 ,if  
the first two games are won by the same 
players1 the third game is played2      
should the score of the third game lap1 
a fourth game is played4   ,,scoring4   
#b4 ,a game consists of five points4    
,should a player order up1 assist1      
adopt1 or make the trump1 and he and his
 partner take five tricks1 they score   
two2 three or four tricks1 they score   
one4 ,if they fail to take three tricks 
they are euchred1 and the adversaries   
score two4  #c4 ,when a player plays    
alone and takes five tricks1 he scores  
four2 three or four tricks1 he scores   
one4 ,if he fails to take three tricks  

he is euchred1 and the adversaries score
 four4  #d4 ,the penalty of a revoke    
takes precedence of all other scores4   
#e4 ,an error in the score can be       
rectified at any time before the trump  
card is turned in the next deal4  #f4   
,points should be announced before      
scoring4  #g4 ,each game won counts one 
unless the losing side has failed to    
score1 in which case the game counts    
two4 ,two additional points are taken by
 the side winning the rubber4 ,thus it  
is possible to win ten points in a      
rubber2 that is1 four double games1 and 
two points for the rubber4   ,,cutting4 
#h4 ,the knave is the highest card1 then
 the ace1 king1 etc4  #i4 ,in all cases 
every one must cut from the same pack4  
#aj4 ,should a player expose more than  
one card1 he must cut again4            
,,formation ,,of ,,the ,,table4  #aa4   
,if there are more than four candidates1
 the players are selected by cutting2   
those first in the room having the      
preference4 ,the four who cut the       

highest cards play first1 and again cut 
to decide on partners4 ,the two highest 
play against the two lowest4 ,the       
highest is the dealer1 who has choice of
 cards1 seats1 and counters2 and having 
once made his selection1 he must abide  
by it4  #ab4 ,when there are more than  
six candidates1 those who cut the fifth 
and sixth highest cards belong to the   
table4   ,,cutting ,,cards ,,of ,,equal 
,,value4  #ac4 ,two players cutting     
cards of equal value1 unless such cards 
are the two lowest1 or the two highest1 
cut again4  #ad4 ,three players cutting 
cards of equal value1 cut again2 should 
the fourth 7or remaining7 card be the   
highest1 the two lowest of the new cut  
are partners1 and their opponents have  
the deal4 ,should the fourth card be the
 lowest1 the two highest of the new cut 
are partners1 and have the deal and     
choice of seats1 etc4   ,,cutting ,,out4
  #ae4 ,at the end of a rubber1 should  
admission be claimed by any one1 or by  
two candidates1 he who has1 or they who 

have1 played a greater number of        
consecutive rubbers than the others1 is 
or are out4 ,when all have played the   
same number1 they must cut to decide on 
the out-goers1 the lowest going out4    
,,entry ,,and ,,re-,,entry4  #af4 ,a    
candidate wishing to enter a table must 
declare such intention before any of the
 players have cut a card1 either for the
 purpose of commencing a new rubber1 or 
of cutting out4  #ag4 ,in the formation 
of fresh tables1 those candidates who   
have neither belonged to nor played at  
any other table1 have the prior right of
 entry2 the others decide their right of
 admission by cutting4  #ah4 ,any one   
quitting a table prior to the conclusion
 of a rubber may1 with the consent of   
the other three players1 appoint a      
substitute in his absence during that   
rubber4  #ai4 ,should a player leave a  
full table after he has played but one  
of the two consecutive rubbers to which 
he is entitled1 the candidate next in   
order for entrance to the table takes   

his place1 but must go out at the end of
 one rubber1 as his predecessor would   
have done4  #bj4 ,a player cutting into 
one table while belonging to another1   
loses his right of re-entry into the    
latter1 and takes his chance of cutting 
in as if he were a fresh candidate4     
#ba4 ,if any one break up a table1 the  
remaining players have the prior right  
to him of entry into any other2 and     
should there not be vacancies at such   
other table for all those candidates1   
they settle their precedence by cutting4
   ,,shuffling4  #bb4 ,the pack must    
neither be shuffled below the table1 nor
 so that the face of any card can be    
seen4  #bc4 ,the pack must not be       
shuffled during the play of a hand4     
#bd4 ,each player has a right to shuffle
 once only1 except as provided by ,law  
#bg1 prior to a deal1 after a false cut1
 or when a new deal has occurred4  #be4 
,the dealer's partner must collect the  
cards for the ensuing deal1 and he has  
the first right to shuffle that pack4   

#bf4 ,each player1 after shuffling1 must
 place the cards1 properly collected and
 face downwards1 to the left of the     
player about to deal4  #bg4 ,the dealer 
has always the right to shuffle last2   
but should a card or cards be seen      
during his shuffling or while giving the
 pack to be cut1 he may be compelled to 
re-shuffle4   ,,the ,,deal4  #bh4 ,each 
player deals in turn2 the right of      
dealing goes to the left4  #bi4 ,the    
player on the dealer's right cuts the   
pack1 and in dividing it he must not    
leave fewer than four cards in either   
packet4 ,if in cutting or in placing one
 of the packets on the other1 a card be 
exposed1 or if there be any confusion of
 the cards1 or a doubt as to the exact  
place where the pack was divided1 there 
must be a fresh cut4  #cj4 ,when a      
player has once separated a pack he     
cannot alter his intention2 he can      
neither re-shuffle nor re-cut the cards4
  #ca4 ,when the pack is cut1 should the
 dealer re-shuffle he loses the deal4   

#cb4 ,after dealing1 the dealer should  
put the pack at his right hand4   ,a    
,,new ,,deal4  #cc4 ,there must be a new
 deal by the same dealer if during the  
deal or during the play of the hand the 
pack be found to be incorrect or        
imperfect2 but all points scored on     
previous hands stand4  #cd4 ,if any card
 be found faced in the pack before a    
lead is made1 there must be a new deal4 
#ce4 ,if1 while dealing1 a card be      
exposed by the dealer or his partner1   
the adversaries can call for a new deal1
 provided that neither of them has      
touched the cards4 ,a card exposed by   
either adversary gives that claim to the
 dealer1 provided that his partner has  
not touched the cards4 ,if a new deal   
does not take place1 the exposed card   
cannot be called4  #cf4 ,if1 during the 
deal1 a player touch any of his cards1  
the adversaries may do the same without 
losing their privilege of claiming a new
 deal1 should chance give them such     
option4  #cg4 ,if1 in dealing1 one of   

the last cards be exposed1 and the      
dealer turn up the trump before there is
 reasonable time for his adversaries to 
decide as to a fresh deal1 they do not  
thereby lose their privilege4  #ch4 ,a  
deal made with the adversaries' cards is
 good1 provided that the trump card has 
been turned4 ,if not1 a new deal may be 
claimed4 ,the players thus losing their 
cards may reclaim them at the end of the
 deal4  #ci4 ,should the dealer1 in     
turning the trump card1 expose any other
 card of the pack1 there must be a new  
deal4  #dj4 ,a deal out of turn can be  
stopped1 if the error be discovered     
before the trump card is turned2        
otherwise the deal stands4   ,a         
,,misdeal4  #da4 ,a misdeal loses the   
deal4  #db4 ,it is a misdeal1--  ,i4    
,unless five cards are dealt to each    
player4  ,,ii4 ,unless the dealer begin 
by giving two cards to each player in   
turn in the first round of the deal1 and
 three in the second1 or vice versa4    
#dc4 ,a misdeal does not lose the deal  

if during the dealing either of the     
adversaries touch the cards prior to the
 dealer's partner having done so4       
,should the latter have first interfered
 with the cards1 notwithstanding either 
or both of the adversaries have         
subsequently done the same1 the deal is 
lost4  #dd4 ,if the adversaries         
interrupt a dealer while dealing1 either
 by questioning the score or asserting  
that it is not his deal1 and fail to    
establish such claim1 should a misdeal  
occur he may deal again4  #de4 ,should a
 player take his partner's deal and     
misdeal1 the latter is liable to the    
usual penalties1 and the adversary next 
in rotation to the player who ought to  
have dealt1 then deals4   ,,cards       
,,liable ,,to ,,be ,,called4  #df4 ,all 
exposed cards are liable to be called1  
and must be left on the table2 but a    
card is not an exposed card when dropped
 on the floor or elsewhere below the    
table4  ,the following are exposed      
cards3--  ,i4 ,two or more cards played 

at once4  ,,ii4 ,any card dropped face  
upwards1 or in any way exposed on or    
above the table1 even though snatched up
 so quickly that no one can name it4    
,,iii4 ,the trump card if lifted from   
the pack4  #dg4 ,if any one play to an  
imperfect trick the highest card on the 
table1 or lead one which is a winning   
card against his adversaries1 and then  
lead again1 or play several such winning
 cards one after the other1 without     
waiting for his partner to play1 the    
latter may be called on to win1 if he   
can1 the first or any other of those    
tricks1 and the other cards thus        
improperly played are exposed cards4    
#dh4 ,if a player or players1 under the 
impression that the game is lost or won1
 or for other reasons1 throw his or     
their cards on the table face upwards1  
such cards are exposed1 and can be      
called1 each player's by the adversary2 
but should one player retain his hand1  
he cannot be forced to abandon it4  #di4
 ,if all four players throw their cards 

on the table face upwards1 the hands are
 abandoned1 and no one can again take up
 his cards4 ,should it then be proved   
that the game could have been saved or  
won1 no such claim can be entertained   
unless a revoke be established4  #ej4   
,in a lone hand1 should either adversary
 abandon his hand by laying it face     
upwards on the table1 or by failing to  
play to every trick1 the party playing  
alone scores five points4  #ea4 ,a card 
detached from the rest of the hand is   
liable to be called if either of the    
adversaries can name it2 but should an  
adversary name a wrong card1 he is      
liable to have a suit called when he or 
his partner next lead4  #eb4 ,if any    
player lead out of turn1 the adversaries
 may either call the card erroneously   
led1 or may call a suit from him or his 
partner when it is next the turn of     
either to lead4  #ec4 ,if any player    
lead out of turn1 and the other three   
have followed him1 the trick is         
complete1 and the error cannot be       

rectified2 but if only the second1 or   
the second and third1 have played to the
 false lead1 their cards1 on discovery  
of the mistake1 are taken back1 and     
there is no penalty against any one     
except the original offender4  #ed4 ,if 
a player who has rendered himself liable
 to have his highest or lowest called1  
fail to play as desired1 or if when     
called on to lead one suit1 lead        
another1 having in his hand one or more 
cards of the suit demanded1 he incurs   
the penalty of a revoke4  #ee4 ,in no   
case can a player be compelled to play a
 card which would oblige him to revoke4 
#ef4 ,the call for an exposed card can  
be repeated until such card has been    
played4  #eg4 ,if a player called on to 
lead a suit have none of it1 the penalty
 is paid4   ,,cards ,,played ,,in       
,,error4  #eh4 ,should the third hand   
play before the second1 the fourth may  
play before his partner4  #ei4 ,should  
the third hand not have played1 and the 
fourth hand play before his partner1 the

 latter may be called on to win or lose 
the trick4  #fj4 ,should any one have   
omitted playing to a former trick1 and  
such error be not discovered till he has
 played to the next1 the adversaries may
 claim a new deal4 ,should they decide  
that the deal stand good1 the surplus   
card at the end of the hand is          
considered to have been played to the   
imperfect trick1 but does not constitute
 a revoke therein4  #fa4 ,if any one    
play two cards to the same trick1 or mix
 his trump or other card with a trick to
 which it does not properly belong1 and 
the mistake is not discovered till the  
hand is played out1 he is answerable for
 all the consequent revokes he may have 
made4  ,if during the play of the hand  
the error be detected1 the tricks may be
 counted face downwards1 to ascertain if
 there be among them a card too many2   
should this be the case1 the trick may  
be searched1 and the card restored4 ,the
 player is1 however1 liable for all the 
revokes he may have meanwhile made4     

,,the ,,revoke4  #fb4 ,is when a player1
 holding one or more cards of the suit  
led1 plays a card of a different suit4  
#fc4 ,the penalty of a revoke is three  
points1 except in the case of a lone    
hand1 when it is five2 and the penalty  
may be claimed as often as the revoke is
 repeated in the hand4  #fd4 ,a revoke  
is established if the trick in which it 
occurs be turned and quitted2 or if the 
revoking player or his partner1 whether 
in his right turn or otherwise1 lead or 
play to the following trick4  #fe4 ,a   
player may ask his partner whether he   
has not a card of the suit renounced4   
,should the question be asked before the
 trick be turned and quitted1 subsequent
 turning and quitting does not establish
 the revoke1 and the error may be       
corrected1 unless the question be       
answered in the negative1 or unless the 
revoking player or his partner have led 
or played to the following trick4  #ff4 
,at the end of the hand the claimants of
 a revoke may search all the tricks4    

#fg4 ,should a revoke be claimed1 and   
the accused player or his partner mix   
the cards before they have been         
sufficiently examined by the            
adversaries1 the revoke is established4 
#fh4 ,a revoke cannot be claimed after  
the cards are cut for the next deal4    
#fi4 ,if a player discover his mistake  
in time to save a revoke1 the           
adversaries may call the card played in 
error4 ,any player or players who have  
played after him1 except his partner1   
may withdraw their cards and substitute 
others2 the cards so withdrawn are not  
liable to be called4  #gj4 ,a revoking  
player and his partner may require the  
hand on which the revoke occurred to be 
played out4  #ga4 ,an equal number of   
revokes on different sides cancel each  
other4   ,,calling ,,for ,,new ,,cards4 
#gb4 ,any player 7on paying for them7   
before1 but not after1 the pack is cut  
for the deal1 may call for fresh cards4 
,he must call for two new packs1 of     
which the dealer has the choice4  #gc4

him and play alone4  #ge4 ,should the   
eldest hand pass1 the second hand may

of the last two cases the dealer may

 up the trump1 or play alone4  #gg4     
,should all four players pass1 the trump
 is turned down1 and the first hand can 
name a suit1 or pass2 and so on in turn 
around the table4 ,should all pass

suit he intended to make trumps1 his    
partner also must pass4  #hj4 ,should a

 must pass4 ,the adversaries1 however1  
may elect that it shall be played4  #ha4
 ,should a player make a declaration1   
and his partner not hear it and pass1   
the declaration is not invalidated4     
#hb4 ,no player can take away another's 
right by passing1 ordering up1 or       
assisting1 out of turn2 but should the  
dealer turn down the trump card1 or on  
the second round throw his cards on the 
table1 such action is binding on his    
partner4  #hc4 ,if any one1 prior to his
 partner's playing1 should call         
attention to the trick either by saying 
that it is or is not his1 or by naming  
his card or by drawing it without being 
asked to do so1 or call on his partner  

to take or not to take the trick1 the   
adversaries may require that opponent's 
partner to play his highest or lowest of
 the suit led1 or to win or lose the    
trick4  #hd4 ,a player has no right to  
ask who played a particular card1 but at
 any time during the play of a trick1 or
 after the four cards are played1 but   
before they are touched for the purpose 
of gathering them together1 may demand  
that the cards be placed before their   
respective players4  #he4 ,when a player
 and his partner have an option of      
exacting from their adversaries one of  
two penalties1 they should agree who is 
to make the election1 but must not      
consult with one another which of the   
two penalties it is advisable to exact4 
,if they do so consult1 they lose their 
right2 and if either of them1 with or

the pack and quitted it2 after which he 
cannot change4  #hg4 ,should the eldest 
hand lead before the discard is

any player have more or less than five  
cards1 or the dealer neglect to discard 
before playing1 the deal holds good1 and

,,general ,,remarks4   ,the following   
points are written simply for the       
information of those not thoroughly     
conversant with the game of ,euchre4    
,it is not the intention of the authors 
to write a treatise on the game1 but    
merely to illustrate a few conventional 
plays1 most of which are in use among   
the best exponents of the game4  ,there 
can be no absolute rules about the play 
in ,euchre1 as in ,whist1 as the number 
of cards is so few that the importance  
of each play is intensified1 and the    
score has so great an influence on the  
hand4  ,the exceptions also are perhaps 
almost as numerous as the rules2 but if 
the beginner will accept as a guide the 
appended hints1 it is thought they will 
not lead him far astray4  ,the play of  
the cards is governed by the card sense 
of the individual4  ,the refinement of  
the game consists in playing to the     

score1 which is quite peculiar to       
,euchre1 since it is so constantly      
changing4 ,the same hand should suggest 
different ideas at different scores4  ,a
 player should school himself to notice 
the score before he picks up his hand4  
,no attempt has been made to go beyond  
the adoption of the trump1 passing1     
assisting1 and the original lead or     
play1 at the risk of being confusing4   
,a beginner should follow these hints   
pretty closely4 ,a good ,euchre player  
can make his own exceptions2 but they   
should be made with careful             
consideration1 and not abused4          
,,eldest1 ,,or ,,first ,,hand4  ,when   
the right is not turned1 order with     
three medium trumps or better1 and some 
strength in suit1 provided you have     
nothing to go to2 for example1 ace1     
queen1 ten of the turn-up1 and two cards
 of another suit4  ,do not order 7unless
 with great strength7 if you can make it
 next2 for example1 queen of clubs      
turned up1 you hold right1 ten1 and nine

 of clubs1 and king and ten of spades2  
or left1 ace and seven of clubs1 seven  
of spades1 and seven of diamonds4 ,in   
both of these cases pass1 and make it   
next4  ,make it next when you can1 and  
do not cross the suit1 unless very      
strong1 especially when a bower is      
turned down2 for example1 the dealer has
 turned down the king of spades1 with   
ace1 king1 and seven of hearts1 knave of
 spades1 and ten of clubs3 make it next1
 and lead the left4  ,when making the   
trump with ace and two others 7without  
the king71 lead ace in next1 and small  
one when crossing the suit4  ,if the    
right is not turned1 lead trumps through
 the assisting hand4 ,the exceptions to 
this are1--,with left and small one2 ace
 and small one2 with score four to three
 in your favor1 and you play with       
certain reasons to stop a march2 and    
occasionally when short of a suit4      
,with a large tenace in trumps as right1
 ace1 or right1 king1 and no outside    
cards of any special value1 play an     

off-suit1 whether dealer takes up with  
or without assistance4  ,with one or two
 trumps and two aces1 lead trumps1      
whether through assistance or not4  ,if 
the dealer adopts the trump1 avoid1 if  
you can1 leading from suits of king1    
seven2 queen1 seven1 etc4 ,if possible1 
lead an ace1 or from a short suit of    
king or queen1 or from a suit of equals1
 as king1 queen1 or queen1 knave1 or    
knave1 ten4  ,in general do not lead    
trumps up to the dealer's adoption2 but 
with three trumps1 and the score two    
points in your favor1 lead a trump1 if  
the turn-up is not above the king4 ,if  
you hold the two bowers and an outside  
ace1 always lead them in the order      
named4  ,always lead a trump when your  
partner has ordered up1 or made the     
trump4 ,if you have no trump1 play your 
best card4 ,avoid leading the turn-down 
until at least one round of trumps has  
been played4 ,if you have left and small
 one1 lead the left and continue with   
small one if both opponents follow4     

,with any two others1 lead smallest1    
unless equals4  ,score four to three in 
your favor is a position of caution1 and
 consequently your play should be very  
conservative4   ,,second ,,hand4  ,do   
not assist too light4 ,this is the most 
common error in ,euchre4  ,assist with  
three trumps4     right and another4#a  
left and another1 and outside ace4      
,footnote #a3 ,another means a small    
one4  ,assist with left and another2    
dependent upon the score1     two trumps
 and two aces4     ace and another1 and 
outside ace2 dependent upon score2      
always1         however1 if right is    
turned4     two medium trumps1 and one  
suit of three1 headed by the ace1       
dependent upon the score4  ,ace and     
another1 and king and another1 even when
 short of a suit1 are permissible only  
when justified by scores of four-all or 
four-love in your favor4  ,anything less
 than this is not good ,euchre1 except1 
of course1 at the two above-named       
scores4  ,do not assist the right with  

two small ones4 ,your partner usually   
will know what to do with the bower4 ,by
 too light an assistance you may tempt  
him into a lone hand1 under the         
impression that one or two big trumps   
are out of his way4  ,remember that to  
be short of one or two suits is a great 
advantage to an assisting hand4  ,when  
led through with right and another1 play
 the right1 except when the ace is      
turned1--when it is permissible to      
finesse4  ,when led through1 when       
assisting with left and another1 play   
left1 unless right or ace is turned4    
,when assisting with three trumps1 if   
you take the first trick in suit1 lead  
trumps at once4 ,if you take the first  
trick by trumping a suit1 your play is  
then dependent upon the value of your   
remaining trumps and the turn-up4  ,with
 two trumps and two aces1 lead trumps as
 early as possible1 if your opponents   
have not done so for you4  ,if your     
partner adopts the turn-up without your 
assistance1 and you hold queen1 seven2  

ten1 eight1 etc41 in trumps1 ruff as    
early as possible with the big one1 and 
lead the small one4  ,if you take the   
first trick in suit1 and your partner   
throws away1 do not lead the suit he has
 shown1 even if you have the ace of it4 
,if your partner turn down black1 make  
it red if you can1 especially if he has 
turned down the bower4  ,when playing   
second to a small card1 do not ruff with
 right alone if it is the first trick4  
,ruff with left alone1 especially with  
your partner's make or adoption4  ,if   
your partner refuses to adopt the       
turn-up1 and the third hand declares to 
play alone1 lead a card of the same suit
 as the turn-down4  ,with one small     
trump1 ruff as soon as you can4  ,do not
 finesse in lay cards4   ,,third ,,hand4
  ,it requires a stronger hand to order 
or make the trump in this position than 
in the eldest hand1 since you cannot    
depend upon your partner's lead1 and he 
has displayed weakness by passing4      
,however1 if you have a good hand at the

 turn-up1 and are very strong at next1  
it is better to order1 since the        
stronger you are at next1 the greater   
the improbability that your partner will
 be able to make it next4  ,it is wise  
to see your way absolutely clear to     
three tricks before ordering the right4 
,there are certain hands1 however1 which
 by their strength compel you to        
order1--the right not being turned2 and 
here are most of them4  ,order with four
 trumps4     two bowers and another4    
two bowers and outside ace4     three   
trumps and two aces4     three trumps   
and one suit1 headed by ace4     right1 
ace1 and another4     left1 ace1 king1  
and outside ace4     left1 ace1 king1   
and one suit4     left1 ace1 king1      
dependent upon the score4     left1 king
 and another1 and outside ace4     left1
 queen and another1 and outside ace4    
,order with ace1 king and another1 and  
outside ace4  ,if you ruff1 it is       
usually well to beat the turn-up4       
,,the ,,dealer4  ,take up three trumps4 

right and ace4     right and king       
right and queen4     right and another1 
and one suit4     right1 another1 and   
outside ace4     left1 ace1 and outside 
ace4     left1 another1 outside ace2 and
 king1 queen of the third suit4     ace1
 king1 and one suit headed by ace2      
dependent upon score4     two trumps and
 two aces4  ,with the score at four-all 
or four-love in his favor1 the dealer   
may play a lighter hand than any        
mentioned above1 especially if it is his
 best4  ,scores of three-all and four to
 two in dealer's favor require more than
 ordinary caution4  ,with score four to 
three in dealer's favor he may play a   
shade lighter than ordinary4  ,if it    
comes round to the dealer to make a     
trump1 it is permissible to make it with
 somewhat less strength than would be   
required in the other three hands4  ,it 
is usually better with a fair hand to   
try for a point rather than to turn down
 for a euchre4 ,if1 however1 the dealer 
is better at next1 and holds both bowers

 of the cross-suit1 it is good euchre to
 pass4  ,if the dealer adopts the       
turn-up without assistance and has right
 and another1 and takes the first trick 
with his small trump1 he should not lead
 the right unless he can follow with an 
ace4  ,always be careful how you play   
your small cards1 and never play false  
cards4  ,if the dealer adopts the       
turn-up1 he should discard the lowest   
card of a short suit2 for example1 with 
three trumps1 ace1 seven of one suit1   
and outside king1 discard the king4     
,some prefer to keep the king with score
 four-all with only two trumps in the   
hand4 ,with two trumps 7clubs71 ace1    
seven of hearts1 and king1 seven of     
diamonds1 discard the seven of diamonds4
  ,with three trumps 7clubs71 ace1 king 
of hearts1 and ace of diamonds1 discard 
the king of hearts1 except when playing 
a lone hand1 in which case discard the  
ace of diamonds4  ,when your partner    
assists1 and you take the first or      
second trick1 always give him a trump if

 he has not played one4  ,give all the  
information possible to your partner by 
your play2 for example1 queen of clubs  
is turned up1 and you are assisted and  
hold the king of clubs in your hand4 ,if
 you or your partner take the first     
trick with a trump1 play the king4 ,if  
you hold both ace and king of clubs in  
your hand1 play the ace4  ,if you hold  
ace and king of an outside suit1 throw  
away the ace as soon as possible on your
 partner's trick1 thereby showing him   
you have command of that suit4 ,if1     
however1 you see by the fall of the     
cards that your partner has no strength 
in his hand1 you may conceal this       
information1 since it will do him no    
good1 and can only benefit your         
opponents4 ,this1 of course1 applies to 
all four hands4   ,,the ,,bridge4       
,there is such a variety of opinion     
about the bridge that the writers do not
 feel confident enough to express any   
decided view about the matter4  ,it is a
 complicated question from a            

mathematical point of view1 and they    
have never kept any record for a long   
enough period of time to be of any      
practical value4  ,they doubt1 however1 
the expediency of keeping the bridge    
strictly4  ,if1 however1 the bridge is  
to be kept at all1 it should be kept    
always1 and in the same manner2         
otherwise you deceive your partner4     
,there is a growing tendency to abolish 
the bridge4 ,the writers remember       
distinctly not long ago when every one  
kept the bridge2 now the same players   
take their chances with two lay aces1 or
 the ace and another in trumps4 ,this1  
however1 is purely a matter of taste1   
and is not offered here as an arbitrary 
rule4  ,naturally1 some hands will make 
four beyond a doubt2 but it is much     
harder to get an imperfect lone hand    
through against two good players than   
against two inferior ones2 hence the    
better the players1 the less is the     
value of the bridge against the ordinary
 lone hand4   ,,lone ,,hands4  ,it is   

impossible to absolutely define a lone  
hand4 ,with the score three-all1        
four-all1 or any score in your favor1 do
 not risk a light lone hand4 ,it is our 
opinion that a great many points are    
lost by not taking your partner with you
 for a march4  ,with the score four-one 
or four-two against you1 you may take a 
desperate chance4  ,if your opponents   
keep bridges tolerably strictly1 you    
must1 of course1 be more careful if they
 have passed4  ,the eldest hand has the 
best position to play a lone hand1 and  
the dealer the next best4  ,the second  
and third hands have the weakest        
positions for lone hands1 especially the
 third hand1 if the turn-up is the      
trump1 since if the third hand declares 
to play alone it has become an          
established custom for the dealer to    
discard next in suit1 and for his       
partner to lead it to him4 ,the third   
hand should take this into consideration
 before playing alone4 ,this is the only
 case when the original lead of next in 

suit has any significance4  ,in playing 
against a lone hand1 you should lead    
from a short suit or suit of equals1 if 
possible1 and the fourth card you play  
7supposing always the lone hand to take 
the first four tricks with trumps7      
should inform your partner what suit you
 mean to keep4 ,for example3 ,clubs are 
trumps4 ,eldest hand has two small      
trumps1 queen of hearts1 and queen and  
seven of spades4 ,lead the queen of     
hearts4 ,the dealer1 who is playing     
alone1 ruffs the heart and leads both   
bowers and the ace of trumps4 ,on the   
fourth trick you play the seven of      
spades2 your partner1 holding the ace of
 spades and the ten of diamonds1 should 
throw away the ace of spades and keep   
the ten1 thereby attacking the lone hand
 in all three suits4  ,example3 ,clubs  
are trumps4 ,the eldest hand has the    
king of clubs1 the king of hearts1 the  
ace and seven of diamonds1 and the ten  
of spades4 ,lead the king of hearts1    
throw away the ten of spades as early as

 possible1 and play the seven of        
diamonds on the fourth trick1 thereby   
informing your partner that you are     
keeping a diamond4  ,if you lead from   
equals1--as king1 queen1 or queen1      
knave1--and your opponent takes the     
trick with a card of that suit1 throw   
away all your other cards1 however high1
 and keep your second one of that suit4 
,this applies always against the dealer1
 and usually against any other player4  
,if the eldest hand holds the ace of    
hearts and the ace and king of spades   
7the trump being a club71 lead the ace  
of hearts and advertise the command of  
the spade suit by throwing away the ace 
as soon as possible4  ,an exception3    
,for third hand1 supposing the dealer to
 have taken the first three tricks      
without showing a lay card and to have  
led a winning trump for the fourth      
trick4 ,if your partner's fourth card is
 a lay king1 and you hold one card of   
that suit and one of another1 neither of
 which suits has been ruffed1 keep the  

card of the same suit as your partner's 
king on the fourth trick4  ,with an     
assistance you may play a lone hand with
 less strength than otherwise4  ,should 
your partner declare to play alone1 and 
you have a fair trump hand with no      
weakness in lay suits1 it is good play  
to take it from him4   ,,coups4  ,the   
following cases are offered to          
illustrate some of the fine points in   
the game4 ,opportunities for making some
 of these plays occur frequently1 and   
every ambitious euchre-player should be 
familiar with them4 ,the easiest way to 
follow them is to place the cards on the
 table as shown below4  ,a coup is when 
you depart from the ordinary established
 rules of play1 with certain reasons for
 each special case4 ,do not hesitate    
when attempting a coup4 ,consider what  
the play of your adversaries means1 as  
well as that of your partner4  ,bear in 
mind that coups are justified only in   
exceptional cases4  ,in all these cases

the king1 since his partner cannot help
