Deals Played at a Lead
ing Gard Club Show
That the Science of
Bidding Is Far From
Being Generally Under
stood
BY r. F. FOSTER.

One of the pecularities of modern
auction which goes to show that tho
science of bidding is far from being
generally understood is the tendency to
underestimate the value of hand for
q free bid and to overestimate 1t for
an assist.
The distinction between assisting an
original bid and assisting after rebid,
or the difference between the strength
required TO assist n free bid and that
necessary for a forced bid is also very
little understood
There are countless thousands OF
players who still refuse to bid on
suit of five to the ace-king or ace
queen-jack or king -queen-Jack unless
they have an outside ace az well or a
king-queen suit or two guarded kings.
That IL. although they have more than
their share of the thirteen tricks to be
played for they will not make n bid
unless they have all but one trick OF
the contract in their own hand.
1t is not the poor players a;one that
show this trait. 1t IL common among
tho best of them and cannot be attrib-
uted to anything but a want of knowl-
edge-an imperfect understanding OF
the true value OF a hand. Here are a
few illustrations. all deals played at
one of the leading card clubs and by
persons who are supposed to be in the
first rank.

There are no truinps and u is in the
lead. Y and 2 want only four tricks,
but against any defence.
The solution Is for z to lead the Jack
Of clubs IL A covers he sets UP the
whole club suit for Y. so he ducks. When
passes p also ducks the trick and lets
the Jack hold This Is the best defence.
z now leads n spade. upon which
discards the Jack OF diamonds Either
A or u may win this trick II A holds
tt trick with the ten and leads club
B makes the ace OF clubs. a heart and
. spade. and no more.
II A leads diamond instead OF
club he must begin with a small one
or tho problem Is solved at once. Y's
discard allows to win with the nine
and mako the ace. Then he puts b In
with a spade, after which B can make
q heart and q club. but Y must get n
trick.
II wins the spade at trick two he
can either make his remaining spade
at once or lead another suit II he leads
the second spade will discard a CLUB
and must make n heart or club later,
after which z makes the ace OF ola
monds and the long spade.
II holds up the second spade ana
leads a heart he either lets Y win the
second round or gives Y the first heart
trick, and has to win Us return OF
heart himself The best lead Is the
heart Jack, followed by the seven. when
Y wins and puts u in with diamond
so that z shall be able TO throw Il back
into the lead with spade
