ing for retirement annuities for

separation from employment for
any reason other than for cause
on charges Of misconduct or de.
linquency after having reached

proposed legislation would be 2
per cent of the average annual
salary, not in excess of $2,50O, re-
ceived during any five years OF
service, multiplied by the number
of years of service, not to ex.
ceed 80 years.

ment fund would, under the pro
posed measure, fall to a special
committee, to be known as the

Ore of the developments of Auction
and Contract that is seldom discussed
may be designated Lost Tricks" The
hands that contain aces and kings play
themselves to such an extent that even
the weak player can go game with
them. The hands where lost tricks be-
come important are those that require
good judgment, keen perception, and
above all a thorough understanding
between partners. Tricks that are lost
under such conditions are the might
have beens" of Auction that irritate
and rankle in the memory, some times
for days. One expert is authority for
the statement that four out of every
five rubbers are "chucked" and most
Auction players will agree with him.
Such statement shows the Importance
of lost tricks and the necessity of
eliminating their causes.
All games of cards afford an excellent
opportunity to study human nature
and never to such an extent as when
the lost tricks crop up. Avoid criticism.
Play Auction and Contract the best
you can but never let it upset you or
your temper. Lost tricks are part of
the game, both for you and your part
ner, so never let them disturb your
equanimity. Auction and Contract are
games that properly played will act as
a sound training both for the mind and
temper. Remember, a cool head is a
valuable asset, especially if you are to
avoid lost tricks. If you become dis
turbed either by your own lost tricks
or by your partners, it means that you
will lose other tricks before you regain
control of yourself. There is only one
thing worse than losing your temper
over partners bad play and that is
to do SO over your own lost tricks. Play
SO to perfect your whole game that you
will automatically take care of lost
tricks. Only thorough grasp of all the
details of the game will enable you to
avoid the pitfall of lost tricks so
keep plugging away. The winning
tricks take care of themselves in most
astonishing way. Big hands play them
selves but the ability to make the most
out of poor hands is what differentiates
the good player from the poor one.
1t is impossible to specify or enumer-
ate the many situations wherein tricks
are lost. One of the most common is
taking a fnesse that may gain trick
if it wins but loses game if it loses
Never risk the loss of a sure game to
gain one trick. Another very common

cause of lost tricks is the refusal of
player to shift the suit when he finds
that his own suit is hopeless. Another
favorite method of the weak player is
to refuse to unlock his partners suit.
The weak player is very ingenious in
his methods but his old standby. the
one that never fails to lose tricks and
usually game, is the refusal to trump
in with the best trump. What is more
narrowing than to have a partner let
the declarer discard all his losing cards
on an established suit merely because
the partner refused to part with his
best trump?
There are numberless other ways, of
course, in which the army of lost tricks
is augmented but it is not advisable or
necessary to enumerate them. Remem-
Der the cause Of your lost tricks, and if
possible try to avoid making the same
mistake again. If you do not under
stand the why or wherefore of the play,
don't hesitate to ask better player.
There is always some player in every
card club who loves to discuss the game
and is only too willing to explain away
the cause of your lost tricks. Work to
improve your game and you will be
surprised how greatly you will add to
your own pleasure and that of your
partner.
Before concluding the question of
lost tricks, always bear in mind the
fact that occasionally the loss of trick
is justihable. Do not hesitate to risk
the loss of trick when the only chance
is to find in your partners hand the
card that will save the game. Very
often, near the end of a hand, you will
need a certain number of tricks to save
game; and then is the time to think
what card or cards your partner must
have to save game and then play ac-
cordingly. Some times you will lose a
trick by these tactics, but such lost
trick is a justihable loss and you will
be astonished to ascertain how often
you will save the game.
The declarer often has the same
opportunity; that is, of mentally plac-
ing the cards in the hands Of his oppo-
nents in the only way to make the
game possible and playing accordingly.
Very frequently an expert player will
SO plan the play of the hand and lose a
trick that the weak player never would j;
but a trick lost under such circum-
stances is we'll lost, if lost in the course
of an attempt to make game in the
only way possible.
