ranging u duplicate contest for twelve

progressive game when all four pass.
Not If the rule is four deals TO a table.
The same dealer deals again, just as in
duplicate.
Mrs. II asks what and where the score
In put down II the declarer makes four
hearts after being doubled.
First of all. score four odd at Is a
trick, a. points and a game won. Then
put down honors as actually held, and
finally so points penalty against the op-
p%oncnts. which is a bonus for fulfilling
a doubled contract.
l. 7. asks for instructions as To- the
meNning Of law 81. with regard TO the
time at which the new deal must bn de-
manded. The law says that II any one
but dummy fails to play to a trick the
other side may demand q new deal, or
they may let II stand. This seems TO
allow the side not in error to let things
slide until they see how they are coming
out before they ask for a new deal. as Il
might pay better to let IL stand. II they
note the short trick when IL is played.
The law says hat II the error is
past correction. through the player in
fault playing 10 the next trick. the
surplus card Cat the end OF the HANDY
IS considered as played 10 the imperfect
trick. II II has been decided to let the
deal stand. The inference would seem
to he that they must decide whether or
not the deal shall stand ms soon as the
omission to play to the trick is discov-
cred and proved.
