bonus from each Of the players in
the game. If you penalize some
one you score from only one nan.
But, Of course. if neither opponent
has strong hand we will be allowed
to play our three no-trump contract,
will find more high cards in dummy
and will win the game and rubber,
The winning toWie player pays Just
as much attention to dummy's dis
tribution as to- It's high cards. For
instance, the following example is 4
hand recently bid by Raymond Balfe
at the Regency Club in New York.
With everybody vulnerable, Mr.. Bale,
who was the dealer, held:
Spades Xxx
Hearts Axxx
Diamonds A xxx
Dummy showed the king -queen-
deuce OF spades, no hearts, the king
and one diamond and singleton club,
With high-card value of six in his
own hand and five additional showing
IN dummy, Mr.. Balfe was definitely
interested in game. However, no.
trump did not appeal to him. Dunn
my showed but one club and he him.
self had worthless doubleton in that
suit. Similarly, with no hearts show
ing in dummy, game bid in that
suit seemed inadvisable. Accordingly,
Mr.. Balfe opened with a bid of one
club. OF course, II both players now
passed, the hand would be thrown in.
However, second hand promptly bid
q diamond and third hand q heart.
The bidding now reverted to Mr..
Balfe. and, after mature deliberation,
he decided that if either opponent
held spades, they would have bid four
spades. Hence, the failure to bid
spades clearly indicated that prac-
tically the entire suit was concen-
trated in dummy. Mr. Balfe promptly
bid four spades, every one passed,
and when the dummy was exposed he
was delighted to fnd the ace and
three more spades and easily made
his game and rubber.

More Towie.
TWO features which give unusual
interest to the bidding At
"toWie" are, first, the fact
Il that six cards are exposed in
dummy and. second, that no hands
are played which do not produce game
If the contract is fulfilled. Thus an
opening bid of either two in a minor
suit or one in major suit or no-trump
is perfectly safe, since even II you are
doubled, you will not have to play
that hand. The fact that six cards in
dummy are exposed, of course, gives
you good line on both its probable
high-card strength and distribution.
As an extreme example. for in
stance, let us consider the case where
dummy shows the ace-king-queen-
Jack-smAll Of spades and ace Of hearts.
1t is quite possible that one player will
open with four spades, the next man
overcall with five spades, and the third
player overcall that with six spades
that is, unless the first player is smart
enough to bid six spades himself so
as to prevent one OF the opponents
from doing so. OF course, that is an
extreme case, but to be successful
bidder at toWie one must give great
weight to the cards exposed in dummy.
In the event that the six exposed cards
are all small, he should bid only with
a tremendous holding; II the six cards
exposed in dummy include several
honors he should bid his game with
practically nothing. For instance,
consider the following two examples:
With everybody vulnerable, you are
dealer and hold:
Spades A 10xx
Hearts AK
Diamonds A 10
Clubs XIX
Dummy exposes two small spades,
two small hearts and two small clubs.
While your high-card value Is lll3.
you should merely pass, since the
chances are that dummy will be q
bust, and If you bid game you will
be doubled and set.
Now let us shift two OF our aces
to dummy, substituting dummy's small
cards therefor. The combined hiph-
card value represented by our own
l3 cards and the six in dummy is
still IL y. But there Is this difference:
With the first hand, If either op-
ponent becomes declarer, we have
enough high cards to double him.
With the second hand. il either op-
ponent becomes declarer, dummy's two
aces belong to him and he probably
will make his contract. Accordinglv.
in the second instance we open with
three no-trump. Now II one Of our
opponents has the balance Of the
missing strength he probably will try
to win game and rubber himself by
bidding either four no-trump or game
in suit, in which instance We simply
pass.
Remember that when you score
game in towie you score your game
