1t often happens that shut-out bid meets
with no opposition, and when dummy's cards
are laid down the suit the pre-empter was
afraid of is found to be well protected. In
such cases game is usually an easy matter.

wT WOULD seem that certain bids at
q auction have sort of vogue for
season and then pass into the ordinary
run of the game with the others. One of
these bids was the shut-out, now usually
referred to as a pre-emptive bid. Why should
we use term that means to secure the right
OF preference In the purchase of the declara-
tien when the shorter term is much better
and means just what it says? very good
PLAYER at the New York Bridge Whist Club
suggests that it should be called shut-up
bid, as it commands silence from all the
players, including the partner.
AS pointed cut by r. j. Leibenderfer,
shut-out bids are peculiar to freak hands and
are based on the probability that if one hand
at the table is a freak there are others. That
is Culbertson's law of symmetry. Mr.
Leibenderfer also points out that no bid is
a shut-out unless it will do what it says.
This brings us down to the definition of
q shnt-out, which is a bid that cannot be
overcalled except by bid that will go game
or more than game. There are three such
bids in suit, as no-trumpers are not in the
pre-empsing class. These are:
Five diamonds or clubs
Tapur hearts.
Three spades.
Any player who thinks he is pre-empting
the bidding by calling three or four diamonds
or clubs, three hearts two spades does
not understand the use of the bid. A bid of
three hearts betrays fear of the spade suit,
"a such bid would be otherwise unnecessary.
The adversaries know this and VIII at once
take advantage of the hint to call three
spades If they have anything at all in that
suit. II the heart partners are strong enough
to go to four nothing is lost by the spade bid
The usual rule for shut-out bid is to
count UP the tricks in the declarers hand and
add two for the average expectancy from the
partner. Some players add one only, as they
think i worth while to risk being set a trick
