TEAM WORK THAT PAID.

West also passed. and North then hav-
ing an opportunity either to double the
diamonds successfully or to take what ne
considered sure game and ruooer
switched the bid TO three hearts, thereby
giving his partner the added information
mat he could also help his heart declara-
ton. and that between them they I'M
doubtedly held game hand. The bidding
passed around to West, who promptly
doubled the three-heart declaration and
was in turn redoubled by North at his
opportunity. and the contract was played
at three hearts doubled and redoubled.
West held four hearts 10 the king and
three small, with the ace, king of clubs,
five diamonds TO the queen, jack, eight
and the king OF spades guarded, the
only tricks that were made being the ace
Of clubs and the king Of trumps. The
play Of the hand was not so important as
the bidding and deduction and added
proper information furnished TO South by
his mariner that enabled him to make
killing on the play at rubber game.

A pERILOUS SITUATION.

Without proper guidance by North,
South. leading diamonds as ,he best avail
able suit against a 20 trump, would have
had the doubtful pleasure OF seeing his
adversary run off FIVE tricks in that suit
and also sccure enough other tricks to 20
game. solely through protection afforded
By the ace of clubs.
The beauty Of the play on this hand
will be noted in the passing the eight
of clubs by North. The result of correct
reading bv the use Of a little thought
often brings great results Had North
covered Vests eight of clubs with the
jack upon the initial lead West would
have had a stopper FOR the clubs upon the
third round with the queen. and much
different result would have accompanied
the play These little points Of merit are
often overlooked by the average player.

PROGRESS OF THE BIDDING.

East declared one no-trump. South. in

hand strong enough to at least force the
adversaries 10 a higher bid Although

over him made the trick value of his
clubs doubtful, West. nevertheless. i'm

THE PLAY OF THE HAND.

South opened with the three of clubs.
North being already assured of length in
suit by Souths supporting bid. With four
clubs in Souths hand. demonstrated by
the low card lead which also denied the
ace. and three clubs exposed in dummy,
the ace was marked sOlus in Easts hand.
North. therefore. underplayed dummy's
eight of clubs and East was in with the
ace. East ran off five diamond tricks and
then attempted to come through South's
twice guarded king of spades. South was
wide awake however, and. covering Easts
Jack with the king. the suit was stopped
on the third round with the nine. East
and West were therefore stopped from
further trick-taking just one trick short
Of game.
Instead Of rushing hcadlonG To destruc-
ton by playing simply TO beat dummy's
card. North. giving just little thought
to the situation. saved the day. or, rather,
IN this case. the game.

A CASE FOR CONSERVATISM.

Even with a stronger hand South should
have h.sitated at a forced double against
opposition of such undeniable strength
Of which East's supporting bids gave
clear evidence. arrayed successfully to
Withstand a heavy attack. With an APP
parentlv HELPLESS hand at diamonds
North relieved his partner from possible

places on his partners bids was here Illus

however, occurred when South, although
assured of enough tricks to save game,
declared five clubs.
FAILED TO MAKE DISTINCTION.
Here was an instance where player
failed to recognize the difference between
an original declaration agd one forced by
the exigencies of the situation While it
was true that North's three-cluD dec
laration. though made after his original
ROYAL bid. gave some promise Of assist
ance. the expectation of additional help
hy his subsequent forced declaration of
four was unwarranted. Further evidence
of lack of support by North could be in
ferred by East supporting bids which,
iudging by South's diamond holding, in
dicated strength in suit cards rather
than trump strength. Vests double that
followed Souths declaration completed the
bidding.
Eight tricks were all that North and
South could make and were therefore set
for 800 points. instead Of scoring 30 points

was carried 10 high, primarily through

THE REASONING OF NORTH.

In discussion and criticism of the play
and bidding at the end of the hand North
gave some very clear reasons for his ac-
ton. He declared two royals and just-
fed his bid upon the ground that nav
ing a strong spade suit. with four honors
in his own hand. and with three OF his
partners declared suit and the ace, kinS
to four of the opponents suit II was ap-
parent to him that Vests two-diamond
declaration could not be based upon a de-
sire TO play the hand at diamonds put
looked rather like a boost, with the idea
of forcing the heart declaration TO
height that could be safely doubled ana
that he. therefore, was strong in hearts
and also porobably held the top CLUBS
and that 1t was essential for his partner
TO know that they had the royal suit TO
run to in case of danger. East then went
TO three diamonds, and South, observing
the hint given by his partners switch to
ROYALS, passed and awaited further deVel-
opments.

except. of course. when used in connec-
ton with a no-trump declaration.
Playing cards have come down to us
through six hundred years of use and
for tine last two hundred years the de X
has consisted of four suits. and il j. not
only desirable from an historical stand
point. bat from scientific and playing
standpoint. to preserve the standard OF
the suits Of the present deck. namely,
that there should be only four suits. and
there IL no logical reason why the spade
suit as a defensive measure should be re-
tanned at all. Royal spades is merely a
subterfuge for the higher value of a suit
that i'm the old game OF bridge amounted
to little. and following out the same line
of reasoning. royal hearts and royal dia-
monds and royal clubs might be suggest
ed, as indicating the ends to which it is
possible to so.
CONDITION THAT MAY ARISE.
Therefore while we do not advocate the
elimination of the spade suit as it is used
at the present time. there might arise
good reason for suggesting the change
should any other load of suggested con
ventons De attempted 90 be foisted upon
the present popular game Of auction.
If players and readers of auction bridge
writings will carefully examine the
groundwork of the arguments advanced
i'm favor of the tircsome spade conyen-
tions. they will readily see that they are
