some
Clubs,
eight,
with
the
deal,
cannot
call
against
nine.]

Short
Whist
is
the
above
game
cut
in
half.
Honours
are
not
called
at
any
part
of
the
game;
but,
as
in
Long
Whist,
they
are
counted
by
their
holders
and
scored--except
at
the
score
of
four.
All
the
maxims
and
Rules
belonging
to
the
parent
game
apply
to
Short
Whist.

Points
at
Short
Whist.
The
Game
consists
of
Five
Points.
One
for
a
Single--5
to
3
or
4;
Two
for
a
Double--5
to
1
or
2;
Three
for
a
Triple--5
to
love.
A
Rubber--two
Games
successively
won,
or
the
two
best
Games
out
of
three--counts
for
Two
Points.
Thus,
if
the
first
Game
be
won
by
5
to
4,
the
Points
are
1
to
love;
the
second
Game
won
by
the
opposite
side
by
5
to
1,
the
Points
are
then
1
to
2;
the
third
Game
won
by
the
side
which
won
the
first,
by
5
to
love.
The
Points
are
then
6
to
2--a
balance
of
4.
This
is
arrived
at
thus:
the
Single
in
the
first
Game,
1;
the
Triple
in
the
third
Game,
3;
the
Rubber
(two
Games
of
three),
2;
together,
6.
From
this
deduct
2,
for
the
Double
gained
by
the
opponents
in
the
second
Game,
which
leaves
4,
as
above.
Short
Whist
is
usually
played
for
points--say,
a
shilling,
or
a
penny,
for
each
point;
two
for
the
Game,
and
two
for
the
Rubber.
