defensive element, the high cards that WIN

tricks, no matter what is the final declara-

The great trouble with beginners and with
many otherwise good players is that they Will
make free bids out of cards that are strictly
secondary bids This misleads the partner as
to the defensive strength of the hand. See

This is a very bad free bid, as there IS no

mond, z will discard his last heart. Now Y
must get in on the hearts and lead the spades
through B.
If A does not make the diamond trick and
even refuses to make his king of hearts, but
puts in by leading a small heart, z will
lead the ace Of spades and then small one,
so as to make the queen later
The false solution is to discard the spade
when leads the club. A will lead the dia-
mond and will discard the spade. If q
discards another spade, A leads the king and
another heart and Z loses the spade queen.
If z discards a heart instead of the second
spade will lead small heart and will
shed the ten of spades. Now when leads
the small spade, Y will hold the trick with
the eight and lose the hearts.

THEFE are not many bridge players who
are as familiar as they should be with
the matter of handling secondary bids;
either decarer or as the partner
who supports them or leads to them.
a secondary bid is one that is not free bid.
IS necessary to distinguish between second
airy bids and forced bids Starting with the
Tree bid, which is the first call on anv deal.
no one being obliged to start bidding unless
one wants to do SO, we get the forced bid,
winch IS any bid that is required to overcall
previous Did. The reason it is called a forced
o'o Is because one is forced to say something
'Nen ana there or pass up the chance of bid
o'hg at all. Al the same time, the bids that
are made to overcaN other bids arc seldom
'uch as would have been made as free bids
lhey are the best the player can do. That
is all
But secondary bid, although it overcaus
'0''e 0'ner bid, IS not necessarily forced, as
He player may have been anxious to make it
I" the tine. 1t is distinguished from the
'ofced bid by the fact that the player who
+'SAeS II mas already passed up an opportunity
70 make free bid. especially as dealer.
FOR example: The dealer bids a spade

was right to deny the hearts, but on the dia-
mond showing the hearts should have been re-
bid to four, especially with four honors in one
hand.
QuestiQn-On the ninth trick A revoke
The tenth trick he trumps, and leads, winning
the rest of the tricks. But for this revoke the
declarer would have made fve-odd as he would
have shut out the trump by catching it. What
remedy has the declarer in such case?-,J. d.
Answer--f the decarer knew that the only

AUCTION BRIDGE

Queston-Z starts with bid Of two hearts,
A three diamonds, Y three hearts, B three
spades. When z goes to four hearts, A and
passing, B drops the spades and goes back to
the diamonds, bidding five. There was a dis
pute as to who should play the hand, A. or B.
as both quit the spades, and then bid the dia-
monds.-R. H. w.
Answer-The law is that the partner who
first named the winning declaration shall play
the hand, no matter what bids have inter-
New-York tribune., 1922-01-01

one club, A will go to three hearts just the
ding, but when Y and pass, will still call
the spades If A passes his partner will go
to four hearts If is left in on his three
spade bid all he loses is one trick, less simple
honors.
Against this bidding cannot make any
grand slam nor even his contract, because
knows from his partners spade bid having
been relegated to the secondary class that the
,ea. defense in the hand is in clubs, so Y leads
the club queen.
This holds, and he leads another club, which
z wins and goes right ahead with his fourth
club, hoping can beat dunny's little trumps
if A does not shut him out. There is
way in which A can prevent from making
trick with the ten of trumps later, or letting
him make the seven of trumps now In the
actual play put on the jack second hand,
hoping the ten would drop.
There are many hands in which there is TO
good defensive bid to start with, and the sec
ondary bid is all the player has to offer. What
his partner should do in such cases we shall
consider in the next article.
This is the solution to Problem No So, in
which there were no trumps, z to lead and
w to win four tricks
leads the ace of hearts and follows with
the seven of diamonds which wins. When
B leads the club ten z discards the ten Of
