The popular demand for dances IN the

or royals the value Of 81 and increasing
the value of little and big slams to %
and 100, respectively These two
changes were seized upon by American
players, and the test has shown such an
Improvement that the game is now gem
orally played here with the Portland
Club amendments, and II is quite evi-
dent that no amount of card Legislation
will be able to drive out change SO
popularity adopted
The universal adoption of this
change quickly eliminated the PERM
cious use of the manifold spade bids
and upset the dope of some ardent ad-
vocates of their use. AS long ago as
April. 1918, we advocated this very
change and predicted its ultimate adop-
ton. An added reason for this change
not mentioned is the conforming with
the historical four suits that have been
handed down through the hundreds OF
years of card play.
Now, these changes have brought
about a condition that requires a spe-
cial understanding in most auction
games played at present in this coun-
try as TO whether the game is 10 be
PLAYED under the English mo bid
opening, with clubs at six as the low
est count. or under the old code, as
promulgated by the copyrighted code
Of the Whist Club of New York, con-
dition admittedly unfortunate for the
general good OF the game and the
pleasure Of the players participating.
A member of the rules committee OF
the Whist Club states: The Whist
Club. while anxious to decide the ques-
ton in a manner which will prove &C
ceptable 20 the sound sentiment OF the
country. is placed in a difficult posi-
ton. as it is almost impossible for a
comparatively small body of men re-
siding in one part of the country 10
obtain any definite line upon the drift
of public opinion in all sections. The
game Of auction is played in every
CITY. town and hamlet in the entire
land, and. obviously. il is out of the
question for a few experts in New York
TO keep in touch with the sentiment OF
California, Texas, Maine and Florida"
This member of the rules committee,
in order 10 obtain data upon which TO
base a non-sectional sentiment, has
sent out TO the public, through a news
PAPER article and by mail. sort OF
Urinary nominating ballot, incorporat-
ing the various suggested changes 20
be acted upon By his committee in
formulating an American code for
American players.

operation Of representative OF each
of the following clubs: The Baldwin,
the Bath, the st. James. the Turf, and
Whites, the representative card clubs
of England.
We believe the same plan adopted
here would formulate code more sat
isfactory to American auction players
Of all sections than by any newspaper
or mail ballot.
There are, of course, too many clubs
throughout the country TO call into
such a conference, but representatives
of leading card clubs in different sec
tions could easily be asked to cooper
ate with the rules committee OF the
Whist Club Of New York in performing
this important work.
The Knickerbocker Whist Club holds
a high position in the American Whist
League, and conducts many auction
contests. and is devoted to the best IN
terests Of the game from every stand
point. The New York Bridge Whist
Club (which has already incorporated
the two English amendments), the Cres-
cent Athletic Club, of Brooklyn; the
West Side Club, the Racquet Club. Of
Philadelphia; the Algonquin Club, OF
Roston: the ST. Louis, Chicago, Balti-
more clubs, etc, all have competent
members interested in the formulating
of a satisfactory American auction
code
The suggested changes in the laws as
indicated by a slip sent out cover nine
noints. some of which are important.
others are of weird nature when con-
sidered in relation TO a scientific game
of auction.
First is the question to permit the
dealers to pass and give spades one
value only, namely, nine.
This is the Portland Club amend
ment, which was also adopted by the
New York Bridge Whist Club. and has
been largely adopted in all auction
circles. Auction sentiment seems TO
demand the change. IL certainly puts q
ouietus on the seventeen informatory
spade bids, and at the same time adds
zest TO the game in an effort 20 make
every hand bid on its own holding for
the best partnership make. 1t has
proven very popular in various sections
of the country. and should undoubtedly
become part of our code.
The next question raised is 10 re-
tanning the dual value OF spades and
permitting the dealer 20 pass. This
proposition is already condemned by
the popular approval Of the first pro-
posal.
The third query is upon the Port
land Club amendment increasing the

ness that is highly attractive in the
present game.
The other suggestions rather sur
prise players interested in the better,
ment of the game. Again are paraded
some of the freaks long since con-
demned and consigned to the discard.
Ii is impossible TO conceive how any
individual or committee hoping TO eN-
ercise close guardianship over the
game or interested in its future well
fare could for moment consider
nullos reverse bids tiger clubs or any
of the other freaks which in the past
have attempted to be engrafted upon
the game by players apparently un-
able TO play the real game success
fully. ANY consideration of such sug-
gestions is out of place in the coditica-
ton of laws of auction for American
players, and it seems as though joke
were intended rather than any desire
for space matter or serious ame5S
ment 70 the laws of popular game.
Further, the copyright OF an American
code of laws of auction for any spe-
cial interest should not maintain.
They should be public property, under
the control of a combination of repre-
sentative clubs and the code should
aim 10 eliminate purely informatory
bidding as harmful to scientific play.
No doubt other attempts will be
made TO give informatory calls upon
suits or doubles not declared merely as
a signal to be taken out. the same as
was demanded by the obsolete bids or
four, five, six and seven spades. The
less conventions are loaded upon the
game the longer II will maintain its
popularity and we sincerely trust we
shall not 20 back 70 the old days OF
watching players consult printed card
telling them what bids are intended TO
signify.
1t is not our purpose to combat the
codificaton OF the laws of auction and
bring the same up 10 date or 10 take
any partisan position in the matter
whatever, but we sincerely believe that
the best interests of the game will be
subserved by combination OF the best
representative interests in this coun-
try. We are confident that a universal
code should be adopted and We believe
there is a large preponderance of sem
timent in favor OF the changes We
have above suggested and that there
will be found no sentiment whatever
in favor OF the freak amendments.
In order 70 obtain the view OF our
readers upon this subject We respect
fully request them to forward their
views upon the various points in-

a NY sport or game that becomes
"A very popular and engages the
attention of great number Of
people should be controlled by some
recognized code for the best interest
Of the game. Experience in such sport
or game naturally leads to the adop-
ton of rules best for its conduct,
Baseball, polo, racing, yachting, ath-
letics, etc, are controlled by codes
drafted by associations representing
the prominent interests devoted to the
sport. Whist players In this country
universally recognize the laws of the
American Whist League, an association
representing the leading whist clubs OF
the United States.
Auction cor auction BRIDGE has ar
rived at a stage which demands code
drafted by representative interests for
the good Of the game, so that a uni
formity may prevail in all sections Of
the country. Probably no card game
has absorbed the intense interest OF so
many people heretofore, and the rules
should be so codifed that a player
from any section entering a contest IN
any other section Of the country would
find the game controlled by the same
laws. and the prestige Of the present
pastime should not be seized upon BY
any CLIQUE as q vehicle for any personal
ends.
Auction was evolved from bridge,
which in turn came from whist, and
the first laws of either bridge or auction
were codifed by the Portland and Bath
clubs of London. When the game be-
came popular in this country the laws
were codified and copyrighted by the
Whist Club Of New York and as amend
ed have generally been accepted as
authority upon the game in this couh-
try up to the present date. Auction
PLAYERS in general appreciate the good
service performed in this respect Dy
