upon winning led low club and made
one of his small trumps by ruling.
Two roun1s of trumps prevented
West from rufling his partner in clubs,
and South secured the normal value
of the hand, three odd tricks, but In
sufficient for game.
At the no-trump declaration, seven
clubs and two aces would have given
North and South nine tricks and game
on the hand.
This hand is a fair sample Of the
class cf hands under consideration.
An original declaration was the out
come of a hand which had strength
in trumps only as a recommendation
fer a make. chlnged partnership
declaration by third hand was a denial
Of strength in the declared suit. While
this feature was undoubtedly recog-
nized by the original declarer, fear OF
the result led him TO assuming at
higher figure q contract In the suit IN
which q uartuer's assistance had al
ready been denied The view which
South entertained is common with
with many players. They become
scared. and are ioath 20 accept their
partners hint Of possibilities more
rotcut than those already suggested.
The point that stands out in all
criticism of such problems is the lacA
of consideration for partners over
call. and the attendant fear that some
dire fate is going TO befall hand
seemingly strong in trumps, but with
no taking cards in outside suits. The
answer is inference ard thought.

scented in the above hand is aptly illus

the first trick, South could ruff dummy
twice, getting in with the queen OF
clubs and playing the ace to draw the
adverse trump.
This hand differs materially from
the previous one, inasmuch as the part
ner changed the declaration after he
hal passed upon the first round, which
which was not an absolute denial OF
strength at the original declaration.
This point seemed to have passed over
South in his consideration of further
action. and also the mind of some Of
the critics of the play.
The error in the case came in
Souths supporting bid in his partners
suit. Ordinarily the winning cards he
held would have been the base Of a
supporting bid TO a partnership decla-
ration. but in this instance the tricks
in plain suits had already been dis
counted when his partner made his
declaration, and South should have con-
sidered these points and have passed
the continuation up to North for such
action as he deemed best for the part
nership interest.
Had the action passed up to North,
his holding was such as TO warrant
an increase in the royal declaration,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-16

warrantlng a different declaration from
that Of his partner. Such types Of hands
are usually extreme, either In offence
or defence, and present no great diff
culties 20 the average player.
Vulnerable cases occur. however
when the partner Of the declarer holds
fair cards in one or more suits outside
the one declared by the partner. The
temptation then is strong upon the
partner OF the original bidder to
change the declaration, principally for
the purpose of denying strength in the
suit declared. and also TO warn against
continuation.
The goal in every declaration IS
game. and the ability TO work out a
partnership make that will produce the
maximum possible upon the partner
ship holding is the skill desired in the
partnership bidding. Therefore, il is
always well to consider the reasons
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-16

South declared one royal, North TAX
ing him out with one no trump. East,
having the lead at no trumps, said
nothing about his diamonds, as he un-
doubtedly saw chance for the saving
Of game, provided his hearts proved a
sure re-entry. South declared two
royals, considering his hand too weak
in side cards to aid his partners
changed declaration. North offered no
bid. as his hand contained certain ele-
ments of strength useful TO MS part
ner. West, with his high cards IN
trumps, did not seek ruff, and opened
his four-card diamond suit. Dummy

rather than IN his own declaration OF
hearts, and the game and rubber would
have been won thereby. The answer
again is lack Of thought and inference
for the best partnership make and II
is our experience that most or these
controversies over points IN auction
arise from the lack Of due considera-
ton for the action Of partner IN an
overcall or a non-overcall.
Here is a query problem FOR both the
expert and the tyro. The hand was
played in q duplicate auction contest
recently in this city, and the action
upon the hand was so varied that u
aroused considerable discussion as to
the proper thing to be done upon inc
holding.

East declared two diamonds, which
South passed, refusing to bid against
minor suit without knowing the
strength Of his partners hand.
North, in his turn, declared two

South supported his partner declar-
