Test OF Judgment Often Lies in Choice
Between Playing Hand at a High
Contract Or Doubling the
Bid Of an Opponent,

would hardly be led. for the reason
that North would play low, allowing
South TO gain the lead with his solid
diamond suit.
The final result showed ten tricks
and game for North and South.
II West led clubs, either ace or low,
nine tricks would go to North and
South. loss of only one trick on
their contract. Though seemingly bad
play. West would get the best results
by leading a heart, allowing one ad-
versary TO discard and the other 20
ruff. Eight tricks by this method
would go 10 their opponents, putting
them two down.
An analysis would show trick
gained by no, aiding in the establish
ing Of clubs.
From point Of play the hand is
interesting IN its trick poss blities,
from low seven 10 game ten; its les
son is suit establishment and trump
management, and II appeals not only
10 players OF duplicate auction. but to
all those wishing TO improve their
game.
From a standpoint of bidding, North
and South's management OF the situA-
ton at the first table. when the bid
ding approached a climax, also de-
serves special attention. Norths dou-
bic was not made with the thought O,
intrinsic gain usually attached to "A
double declaration. IL simply pointed
out possible weakness at the partner
ship declaration and latent strength
at the opponents. South judged the
situation correctly A cross-ruff. made
possible by his ace Of diamonds and
singleton club. promised better results
than the establishment Of suit where
divergent partnership holdings were
marked.
That lasts holding marked in the
bidding by the absence Of high cards
would become an important factor in

Ne o. the keenest tests a. auction
Is met in the discrimination be
~ tween high bids and doubles. II
very often occurs that a choice has
10 he made between the playing OF a
hand at a high contract that Will pro
duce game and rubber or the doubling
OF an equally high contract made by
an opponent apparently 20 save rubber.
Even the brightest players at times
fail in correct deduction and drop op-
portunities for over line gains. Per
,onality and temperament enter into
the play Of the game as much as IN
the real affairs OF life. Every player
possesses some point Of weakness that
- penetrsble through close analysis
Of habit and temperament.
For instance, one very clever player
IN this city will seldom double an op-
pontnt's high bid that seems sure 20
net a large bonus when he has q good
chance 10 score game himself The
lure OF successful play Of the dummy
hand is his popularity. Another well
rated player has a penchant for set
ting the opponents under any and al
conditions without regard TO the
mathematics Of the score. The dis
comhture Of defeated opponent is
his weakness.
OF course no good auction player 1
will blndly double a contract when his !,
action Il unsuccessful scores up the /
game for the adversary, but the line is
often close and forms an absorbing 4
point in play. A free double that is
sure 10 net sufficient bonus 20 offset
the advantage Of game or rubber
should always be taken. The close
question always comes upon the double
Of a contract that is not free-thst Is,
q contract that will not give the OPP
ponent's game ~ made.
The following hand from actual play
in a recent game illustrates one phase
Of the subject. The hand was played
in a duplicate auction contest and
marks the difference in deduction upon
the same premise by players Of fair
playing ability.

and Dance at Hotel Thedford.

Asbury Park, y. j., Feb. 6.-Ths
storm which prevailed along the Jer-
sey coast this week did considerable
damage to the beach front here. About

torn away and some Of the pllng
washed out. The planking OF the
boardwalk, between Fifth and Eighth

city is trihing. The surf cut into the
beach at the north end Of the resort,
itself when the new jetties are COM
pleted.

dance at the Hotel Thedford Monday
night was one of the most brilliant
social functions OF the winter season.

significant. Old and new dances were
the feature, and for those who DID
not dance several tables OF progressive
hearts were the source of amusement
