way to the game; but in many hands such Is
far from being the case
For example, here is deal in which two
very fine players differed not only in the bid
ding, at different tables but in the play of
Che cards when the same bid was arrived at
dealt and bid spade, going to two
hearts, to two spades and supporting the
hearts to three. To call the diamonds at this
stage would be to deny the hearts, which
would be very misleading, as B has three to
two honors and can ruff the adverse suit on
the first trick. went to three spades, A to
four hearts, which went around to z, who

There are now three ways to play the hand,

This keeps the third trump in dummy for
a re-entry.
Another way is to lead the club, so as to
get rid of dummys remaining club on the sec
ond round. Another way is to return the
diamond at once, and play for the cross
ruff, nothing but the queen of trumps can
overtrump.
When played on the plan first suggested,
leading the jack and ten of trumps, of course
held up the queen until had no more
trumps, as he knew A had no diamond to
lead (four played the nine in sight). After
two rounds of trumps B shifted to the dia-
monds. and by the time z could trump A had
got rid of all his spades. The ace of clubs is
the only other trick to lose, giving A five odd
The player who did not figure the hand
this way was afraid that if he lost the finesse
in trumps to Y's queen, an immediate force
with the spades would kill the whole diamond
suit, as dummy would have only one trump
left and three out against him. This prompted
him to lead the club and play for the cross
ruff.

when could not overtrump the seven. After
dummy had trumped three spades and A had
trumped three diamonds, with the seven
eight and king, dummy was in the lead with
four diamonds and two clubs left, and led the
club. This promptly took with the ace
Having kept two clubs, he had to lead his
last spade, which A trumped with the deuce,
allowing himself to be overtrumped by Y,

king and small in hearts and small diamond
Partner took him out with two hearts and
went game. At another table dealer started
with two spades, was left in and failed to
reach game. The bet is that his partner
should have gone to three hearts over two
spades, having only jack and one, six hearts
to ace queen, ace queen ten of diamonds,
king jack in clubs.-J. F. D.
Answer-The dealer had no free bid of
any kind and should have passed. Partner
was right to take out one-spade bid; but an
original call of two should be left in, as it
should show both strength and length The
dealer has the length, but there is no
strength.

TVHERE is nothing that duplicate auc-

is very rarely that one finds hand in which
there is no difference in the final declaraton
even if it is won by the same partners. In
VANITY Fair" for this month there is deal
played at the Knickerbocker Whist Club in
which all four suits are bid and played, and
there is no fault to be found with the bids in
any of the four. 1t is ali difference of
opinion.

What we want, and what might be useful,
Is the number Of times one is likely to be

cumstances. If we knew, for instance, that
it was four to one against going game when
the first bid is overcaled by an opponent,
either on our own contract or he on his, it
might alter our system Of calling quite bit.
Some day some one will do this for us, as
Dr. Pole did it for the whist players in years
gone by.
One would imagine that while there might
be some difference Of opinion as to the bidding,
when once the cards were laid down there
would not be much as to the play of the hand,
unless it was due to some oversight or to igno-
rance Of tactics. 1t looks as if players of equal
skill should pick out the same path on their
