plicate whist and auction games Wall

question which is often asked in the
clubs Is with regard to the difference in
the general style of bidding and play in
this country and in England. SO far as
one can judge by watching the play of
some Of our visitors from the other side,
many of whom have been seen at the
card table this summer, the chief differ
ence between the American and the Eng
lish game seems to be the conservative
manner in which the British player
sticks to the original bid.
Another point is that very few hands
seem to be played for less than a, bid OF
three or four In suit, and there is no
such thing as denying suits. in the Brit
ish game. Shortness in the partners suit
does not seem to be any reason for shift
ing nor for refusing to assist, unless
there is some overwhelming strength in
another suit
In the American game, when there is
no bidding by the opponents, there are
three well known systems of bidding,
each of which requires a certain amount
of shifting suits. The first is the simple
denial of the partners suit, or the warn
ing against a no-trumper. The second
10 taking advantage of his bid to make a
declaration that will probably be better
suited to the combined hands, such as
no-trump, instead of leaving him in on
minor suit, or calling a major suit in
stead of leaving him in with a doubtful
no-trumper. The third is trying to get
the contract away from him Just be-
cause you want to play the hand.
The conservative British player seems
to avoid all these, and to classify them
under the generic name of "calling
against the partner" When there are
any opposing bids by the other side
their bidding much more closely resem-
bles the American style, except that
they stick closer to the suit first named,
and bid 1t up pretty high.
As an example of the difference in
method, here Is a deal that was played
at the Crawford House, in the White
Mountains, last month. and sent to THE
SUN by #. H. Randall, together with
the bidding and the result By way of
experiment the hands were sorted out
and given to two very good English
players, to see what they would do with
them.

Yachting Gossip.
POPULAR IN LOWER BAY

It has been suggested the new class OF

winter to race on Long Island Sound and
GraVesend Bay next year be called the
Victory Glass. The yachtsman who sug-
gested the name thinks that each craft
should be called after historic con-
test. II the idea meets with the APP
prevail of the builders of the class, and
in all probability 1t WILL there will be
racing next year among boats named
after Mons Chateau Thierry. Argonne

Wood, Ypres, SCISSORS the Marine, Laon,
st. Quentin, Vimy Ridge, Dead Mans

places now dear TO the hearts of all good

Under the booming that has been
given to the class by Rear Commodore
Horace r. Boucher of the Atlantic
Yacht Club promises TO build are COM
ing in faster from the Corinthians that
race below the Narrows than from the
Long Island Sound yanhtsmen, notwith-
standing the fact the class first was pro-
NOTED ON the Sound.
SO far the lower bay list includes
twelve names. Among the latest to
promise to build are Commodore Howard
S. Borden, f. r. Thorns, Il. Browmar
and c. II. Young. Other yachtsmen be-
low the Narrows who are going to build
are w. o. SaNtoni Jr, Lewis Lucken-
back, l. L. Beebe, Phil s. Crovat, r. A.
Browne. +. r. Mayer, J. V. Ritchey and
DR.. c. l.. Atkinson. All are members OF
the Atlantic Yacht Club.
The Marine and Field Club also is be-
ginning to take an interest in the class
Isaac Snediker and Andrew Peters are
both interested in the class. and it is
quite possible that either one or the
other will build. One or more boats alsc
may be built by members of the New

Differences in Bidding
lnAmerica andEngland

simple solution is for u 20 give Y two
spade discards by leading two rounds
Of diamonds and then two rounds OF
hearts, putting A In and leaving Y
with two stiff hearts and the ace OF
clubs The flaw In this solution is that
A is not obliged to win the second
htef-N the eight u will be obliged to lead
One spades. The point, therefore, Is to
discover what A Is going to do with the
heart suit before discarding 9DSsH US
spades.
II u starts with the ace of hearts and
A nl"Ss the nine, u wins another heart
trick at once and follows with the win
ming diamond, upon which Y can safely
discard a spade In the meantime b
will have made three plays.
If d discards two diamonds on the
hearts and a small club on the diamond,
u will lead the small spade, and u
must win Us king, or Y will win all
the rest of the tricks. Now rs two
spades are good, or Y makes a club
and two hearts
If u discards both his clubs on the
| hearts and plays one diamond, u can
| lead the second round OF diamonds ut
once, before leading the spade so as to
prevent q from throwing him back into
| thk lead with the losing diamond, and
making the jack of spades.
If plays the smaller of his two
| hearts on the first trick, the solution Is
| simple, as u makes his two winning
diamonds and then leads the losing
heart. B is out of it.

As played in America the hand went
this way. dealt and bid a heart A
passed and bid a spade which b
passed. Whether Y was simply denying
assistance in hearts, or wished to secure
the honor score in spades, is not stated,
but z denied the spades by shifting to
his supporting suit and bidding three
diamonds Again A passed.
In spite OF rs apparent denial of the
spades went back to that suit. bidding
two, and when passed z went on with
the diamonds. bidding three, but Y
would not be denied and went to three
spades, which held the contract. and on
which he made three odd and scored
~ in honors.
This is CLEAR case of calling against
the partner, as neither adversary has
said a word, and neither nor Y seems
TO have had any idea of making the best
bid for the combined hands, but only
| the bid best suited each to his own hand.
When the Y and z hands were given
to two pretty good English players the
| first bid was heart, which A and Y
both passed. Y making no mention of
the spades, but apparently quite salts
fled that he could support the hearts.
The spades were called by B, and at
once went to two hearts.
A supported the spades, whereupon Y
instead of doubling, went to three hearts,
and the hand was played at that con-
| tract, making three by cards by CIV
| ing dummy a ruff before leading trumps.
Most players against this bidding by
A and b would have doubled the two
spade bid instead of going to three
hearts leaving the advance to hearts
to the judgment of the partner. The
difficulty would be that Y's passing the
first time would Gai LEFT tI,a
hearts. BIS contract would have been
set for the 500 on the double, and ~
| honors against him as we'll.
Neither of the actual bids made, end
| ing at three spades or at three hearts
! arrives at the legitimate value of the
hand. That is, the bidding does not
carry out the true theory of the
declaration, which is to find out what is
best for the combined hands; not for
enc or the other.
The correct bidding on these hands
according to modern ideas, would be for
Il to start with a heart and to call
the spades. AS the bid would be only
one spade this would clearly be a denial
Of the hearts, because II the spades were
/ anything extraordinary the take out
would be two spades instead of one
Then would bid the diamonds and Y
should at once go to no trumps, as each
player is marked with two suffer.
! Some timid players might go to three
clubs on Us cards, but the only differ
ence would be that Y would be the one
to call no trumps instead of Y. 1t does
not matter which of the two plays the
hand, it is an easy little slam at nc
trump, the queen OF hearts being the
only trick lost.
II is even possible that If started
| by leading through the denied suit and
A was careless he might put up the
queen of hearts on the first trick. In
which case he would lose a grand slam
Some players do not stop to count the
dummy's cards before they play to the
first trick.
