II there IL one thing about Auction
aad Contract that 10 certain and un-
diaOuted. il is the fact that no perfect
svTten Of bidding has been or 10 ever
Mr~iv "a be invented. Amost any
system, Il clearly understood oX part
ners and intelligentlX played vii pro
duce rood results. The only dinerenes
between systems Of bidding IN eotn
9ames lies in the difference In the skill
az the PLAYERS. advocating the diffsreat
systems. The only thing that makes one
system preferable to another 10 the TACT
that Il Il more easily understood and
applied by the average player. ne
writer has known OF many match
games between experts advocating an
ferent systems and, as q rule, SUCH
matches have been more or less even.
And It is very lucky that there is no
perfect system Of bidding. II there
were, the game would soon lose IT'S
fascination and charm. No one likes
to feel that the other fellow knows as
much as he does and, if the bidding
were perfect, no one could put any
thing over. 80
What really makes Auction and Con-
tract so fascinating, however, is its
uncertainty. Every bid, practically, Is
in the nature of a speculation or a
gamble for there is no guarantee that
the cards will net be so distributed
that your bid, no matter how sound
cannot be made. For example, suppose
you bid one heart, holding FIVE hearts
headed by the ace, king, queen and ar
outside ace. No one viii say that such
a bid is unsound under any system
and vet you are doubled and lose you
contract by three tricks. There wer'
seven hearts in one hand against you
A bad break but no one can say yo'
made bad bid.
The following example hands aPpl,
