BY r. r. FOSTER.

A correspondent in Philadelphia, J. D.
Mortimer, asks how II 10 that players Of
the calibre Of those at the New York
clubs do not thoroughly understand the
value Of hand for bidding or assists.
since all the recent text books clearly
state the conditions. Hc says:
milton Work in his 1919 edition, page
1l5, says that IL the dealers bid has
been overcalled and his partner IL asked
to assist or pass, timid players lose op-
portunities. while tho bold players con-
tinually overestimate the strength Of
their hands and create danger for the
partnership.
Tho player who declines to advance
his own bid manifestly shows the mini
mum amount for the declaration, based
on expectation Of average assistance
This minimum IL stated to be a suit
headed by both ace and king, and unless
the partner has more than average as
sistance he should not advance the con-
tract The ace king suit has already
been stated by Work, page ~, as worth
four tricks.
HE then gives the following as the
values for cards in the dummy or as
sisting hand:
Any honor in trumps as good % o.
ANY sin9ieton. ......y..s...s..1
A. or k Q In plain suit. ..........1
Five or moro small trumps. .......1
A missing suit, TO run.
Unless there are moro than two val
ues In the assisting hand Milton Work
says the contract should not be ad-
vanced, but that II may be advanced
one for each additional trick held when
counted according to the foregoing Ia
ble."
