TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Oatersham writes : In a game of six-handed euchre A elects to go alone, for which be would have scored nix points had he taken the whole live tricks. B elfets to go alone against him, and succeeds in taking three tiicks, thus euchring A. The question is. How many points is B entitled to? B Fays he should score six, as he took the risk of going alone, while A siys he shoi>M take only two points. Kindly decide. Answer: If you will waste your time in playing foolish and irregular games you must make uiies of your own for" them. There' are ■none in prints so far as I know, for this miser- ' able six-handed euchre. Bat since you wish me m«jr«-ly to decide an. argument, and not. to make a nil-, I should say that B takes two points, the same as in the regular game. The rules do not ' provide for ose player going 'alone against another. A. G. (Kokonga) writes: In cribbage, when the liM-fc cird makes 15 dora the player count two or three? Also, when a pliiyer make^ 31 with the last CAid does he take two or three? Answer : Making: 15 with the last card, score three ; making 31 with the last card, score two.
