II was well maintained that high spade

the good PLAYER was always sure Of get

therefore was deemed foolish TO make a
conventional bid that forced the hand to

was asserted that the general tendency OF
the best players was entirely against the
use OF the conventional spade bids on
both ethical and practical grounds and
that any use OF them would be ultimately
pa ssed into the discard.

South declared two royals.
Although an original declaration of two
in the major value suits has been the
subject OF wide discussion, there is still a
diversity of opinion regarding its pro-
priety. 1t may be said, however, that
among those who give this feature oil
the game serious consideration there rs
a growing tendency to attach relatively
more importance TO bonus gains through
the opponents defeat than 10 accruinG
benefits derived from the game and rub
Der goal.
Indiscriminate use of high declaration
on invlncible hands merely for the sake
of shutting out possible game interfer-
ence has given way to carefully consid-
cred action in bidding decisions. Many
substantial gains are made on the type
OF hands under discussion by not making
such prohibitive declaration that keeps
the opponents from bidding.
In South's bid there was illustrated the
proper use of an unnecessarily high
initial declaration. With a little assist
ance Of the kidd that is not brought to
light by partners increased dcclara-
ton, a game hand was assured. Yet with
this promise the construction of the hand
was such as 10 make tho declarer fear an
opponents no trump attack. II would
readily be seen from South's standpoint
that unless there was an unusual dis
tribution no other make would serve the
partnership interests so well as royals.
North. probably convinced that his hand
was unusual. or at least beyond the nor
NAL because OF his high honor count,
declared three hearts.
As South had nothing further TO say
after his partners decision, the bidding
ended with North holding the contract.

thing ever before dreamed of in the oper-

team, and they are at the mercy of the
opponents-al because they have not the
ability to get the normal tricks OH makes
of their own or hold their adversaries to
their normal playing points.
This fact accounts largely for great
deal of the wall of poor luck and the con-
slant chatter of many players of medium
ability for some new fad or fancy. IL
this class of men would give some care
full thought to the play Of hands, they
would find a great gain in rubbers and
score points.
The worst fault of such players is in
their lack of attention to discards. both
Of partner and opponents. When the
pinch comes they are at sea and their
correct play is a matter OF guess.
Another giaring fault of medium play
ers brought out in the above mentioned
discussion was the action by partner
