New-York tribune., 1921-09-25

T HE beginner at auction is very apt to
n take too superficial a view of the
values that he finds in the tables at
the head of the score pad. The first
and enc of the most lasting impressions seems
to be that as notrumps worth 10 trick,
and three tricks is game, the no-trumper is
the best of all bids. 1t may take some years
to revise this impression and to convince the
average player that the major suits are the
winning ones.
Another point that is very generally over
looked is the vast difference in the value of
1rick, according to the time it is played.
Spades are worth points trick Three odd
at spades is worth 27 points. neither more nor
less. When we throw off the odd figures in
settling up the score by hundreds, as is usual
IN the clubs, these 27 points are worth moth
ing at all two-thirds OF the time. AS partial
score they are worth, according to White
heads calculations, aids in going game only
once in five rubbers
Add one more trick and instead of being
worth only n points, plus 8, or Sc, we get
value Of 1874, if game is put at 1925. On the
ruoper game this one extra, or fourth, trick
would be worth 800, or nearly thirty times as
mucn as any of the three tricks that preceded
it
There are players that attach the greatest
Importance to winning the first game of the
ruoDer, because 1t gives them ODDS Of three TO
one TO WIN the rubber itself If the ayernpe
rooner Is 400 points, in settling up. winning
Ihe nrst game must be worth 800. IF this is
true then the trick ths.t just goes game must

instead Of Tie value stated at1the top of tho
score pad.
This is for the declarcr. What he wins his
