NE of the pleasantest points
II about modern bridge lies in
~ its comparative standardiza-
ton. Barring those few play
ers who have gone in for highly arti-
fcial specialized systems Of their own
and the occasional individual who
plays no system, there is considerable
similarity between all bidding methods,
and players of the -Four Aces and other
recognized systems can play as part
ners with one another with no real
need for preliminary explanation.
The Four Aces system has defeated
all others in competition, and We are
pleased to report that it will be just
the same in 1885 that it was in 1885,
1884 and 1888.
In particular we abhor the use OF
all artificial slam bidding conventions
such as the well-known four and five
no-trump bid. It would be a perfectly
easy matter for -Four Aces player 10
use Four Aces bidding up to game
and any artificial four and five no
trump convention beyond game. but We
consider that when he or a player of
any other system does so his game is
losing a great part Of its effectiveness.
The weaknesses of the artificial four
and five no-trump conventions are
twofold. First, even with those hands
where it can be used 1t will always
leave the partnership in the dark as
to playing strength, and while it is
possible to prove that they hold all
four aces, they never can be sure as to
whether or not the combined hands
have enough tricks for slam contract.
But even this Is nothing when COM
pared to the great loss due to the fact
that a partnership cannot use the
natural four no-trump bid.
One Of the principles of successful
bidding at contract is that Of a good
stopping place. and any final contract
Of five odd in a major suit must Dy
its very nature be bad stopping place,
since you are clearly jeopardizing
your game while at the same time you
receive no more bonus for having bid
five than If you had stopped at four.
It will be appreciated that with good
luck you viii make six, while with bad
luck you will make but four, thereby
going down one trick. In other words,
a bid of five jeopardizes a game for NO
extra bonus.
The following are a few examples Of
the natural four no-trump bid Of the
Four Aces system.
First. as a sign-of. For instance,
consider the following hand:

NEW YORK, February 10.-The
management of the Chicago q North
Western Railway Go. will not file its
plan for reorganization of the road
prior to February ~. as had been
planned, Fred w. Sargent, president,
said today.
It will be necessary to petition the
court for an extension of the date set
for receiving the proposal, Sargent re-
vealed on arriving in New York to
attend a directors meeting tomorrow.
He attributed the delay to the work
involved in completing study of the
earnings Of the various divisions Of
the road on which individual mort
cages are based.
Staging his belief that the general
principles Of the management's re-
organization plan would be settled
definitely at the meeting Of directors,
Sargent said he felt 1t would be nee
essary to appoint a special committee
to work out some Of the details.
