AUCTION BRIDGE LESSONS.
By R. F. FOSTER,
Author of "Foster's Complete Bridge"
No. J.

Although the initial value OF tricks and
honors is the same in auction as in bridge,
those who take up auction usually find
considerable difficulty in scoring, correct
~. because of the peculiar method of
reckoning penalties. which are often the
larger part of the score.
In order to he systematic and avoid
oversightS. the scorer should make it an
iuvaria BILE rule to put down the bridge
values first: that is, always to put down
the honors as held, which never vary,
and then the tricks that count toward
game when the contract succeeds, leav-
ing to the last the scores that are peculiar
to auction. If this method is followed it
will save endless confusion and error.
1t is most important to remember that
unless the declarer succeeds in carrying
out his contract nothing can be scored by
either side toward the game. In all such
cases the first thing Is to put down the
honors as held. No mistake is more COM
mon than for those opposed to the dec
laration to score below the line when they
make the odd trick, when they could not
score even if they made a slam. If one

the trick and honor values are the same
as at bridge and are scored in precisely
the same way. but the rubber is worth
go points. instead of 100. Doubling and
redoubling has the same effect on the
trick scores as at bridge, but only when
the contract succeeds.
If the declarer succeeds after being
doubled he not only scores toward game
at double value for the tricks over six,
but he takes 80 points penalty in hOnors

he takes fifty for succeeding after being

tricks over his contract. $50 points. If
it is d redouble. the penalty is one hun

When the declarer fails to fulfil his
contract. honors. chicane. slam, etc. are
still scored as at bridge. but nothing is
scored toward game in the trick column
by either side.
For every trick by which the declara-
tion fails, no matter what the suit may
be. the adversaries score fifty points
penalty in the honor column. 1t does
not matter how many tricks the adVer-
saries get as the only ones counted are
the declarer's, but the adversaries can
score slams. If the declaration Is three

six tricks, he fails by three and the pen

High Praise for Athletics.

II is TO the credit of the American
League that since the worlds series was
inaugurated it has never had a player
removed from one of its teams because
of offensive conduct on the field. From
It's beginning one of the main plankS IN
the organization has been clean ball. Our
Philadelphia club is q worthy-a shining
type of that principle. In the hard cam
paign of last season I did not have oc-
aSion to discipline an Athletic player
and il is gratifying to know that their
conduct was just as commemorate in the
worlds championship series.
The worlds series has been important
in stimulating interest in base ball. There
are other features, however, that have
contributed much TO bring the game to
its present standard. The enactment and
enforcement of wholesome laws, and
those who supplied the capital when in
vestment was a speculation, as well as
those who have played and are playing
base ball for livelihood, are factors in
giving the American people twentieth cen
fury ball.

recollection is specially keen, and ex-

because the best ] got was the haw-haw.

as you will remember. was some agsre-

rather new to the big league in those
days, I seemed to fit in with that bunch
all right, and was hitting along with the
rest of the tribe. We needed all the hit
ting we could accomplish. too. for some
how or other we weren't winning any
flags, and it took all our smuggling to keep
the opposition from treading on our back
bones. In those days the rightield fence
in Philadelphia was close, too close, and
the felderS used to play to take them
on the bound as they came back from the

The afternoon l made my great hit was
one of good husky batting. Life was

first revoke and 100 each for any further
reyOkes in the same hand. letting the

1t is usual to take the tricks when
they are necessary 10 fulfill the contract
or to go game, but they do not carry any

been doubled. although tricks taken in

the declaration was doubled.
This being difficult. let us take an ex-
ample: a declares to make three in hearts
and wins four by cards, detecting a re-
yoke. AS he has gone game. it pays
him better to take the $50 points than TO
score three more tricks at eight points

fulfill his contract the declarer takes
three actual tricks. He has now five by
cards in front of him, worth twenty four

scores toward game. but he gets no fifty
bonus for succeeding after being doubled.

Doubling does not affect the revoke
penalty, except in doubling the value of
the tricks scored toward game. 1t is
always three tricks or 100 points.
When the declarer revokes, he cannot
score anything toward game even if he
makes a grand slam. The adversaries
have no option except to take 100 points
penalty for the first revoke and 100 for
any further revokes in the hand They
never take tricks. The tricks are count
ed as they stand. but are worth nothing
except to the adversaries, who score
penalties if the contract fails, fifty a
