It is a distinct pleasure, therefore, when, instead of castigating some player for his stupidity. 1 lam able conscientiously to com- fort him by pointing out that his error really was not the fatal fea- ture of the hand
Mr. M. L Slack of Whitewater, Wis, writes me in a spirit of deep humility, confessing that he "pul: led an awful boner" in the defence: of a doubled game contract.
