SCORE-CARD.

Application filed April 17, 1905. Serial No. 255,999. l

This invention relates generally to score-` cards, and particularly to one adapted for keeping the game of bridge-whist.

The object of the invention is in a ready, simple, and practical manner to facilitate the keeping of the scores of the game and at the same .time to exhibit the different values of cards held in one or more hands.

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel form of score-card hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, there is exhibited one form of score-card embodying the present invention, it being understood that changes in the arrangement of' the matterV exhibited may be made and still be within the scope of the invention, and in this drawing the gure is a view in plan of a score-card forming the subject of this application.

The card is divided into three fields 1,2, and 3. The field 1 is divided by vertical and horizontal lines into columns 4 and 5, the columns 4 being headed with the plus sign and thecolumns 5 by the minus sign and the field being headed by the legend Rubbers The field 2, upon which tally of the games is kept, is separated from the field 1 by a perforated line 6 to permit detachment from the -color of ink-than that of the remaining printed matter upon the field in order to stand out with distinctness.

In the use ofl the card a record of the games is kept in the columns 8 and 9, and at the end of the game, or When the play is over, the rubbers are recorded in the columns 4 and 5, and when a Sitting is over the plus and minus columns are added and the net total determined at once without further setting down of' gures. Should the field 2 become filled before the field 1, it may be detached and another card can be used for the continuation of the games, the original field 1 being employed in recording the new rubbers. l

In practice the cards will be bound into pads of ordinary size and in such manner as to facilitate the detaching therefrom of the cards when necessary.

Having thus' described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. A score-card divided into three elds, one of which bears printed matter indicative of the value of points and honors, the second eld being divided into vertical columns headed respectively plus and minus, and the third eld being divided into vertical columns, each two of which are headed respectively We and They, and the individual columns being headed respectively Points and Honors 2.
