Rules and Proprieties.

>Ss ~AN = AAVPAAVLAVO'
livery real bridge player should
be fully informed as to the laws
OF the game. 1t is amazing how many
players. some Of whom have been
playing bridge for years, are not IA
miliar with the rules as agreed upon
and promulgated under the Interna-
tional Bridge Laws, published in
1885.
1t is important to follow the rtles
In order to play the most enjoyable
game Of bridge. Bids out of turn,
insufficient bids, leads out of turn
and exposed cards all interfere with
the true bridge players enjoyment
OF the game. These infractions
should be penalized in order 10 re-
quire every player at the table to con-
centrate on the game. As a matter of
pure courtesy and politeness, there
lore. every player should be willing to
pay the proper penalty for any mis-
take made, and his opponents should
feel obliged to impose the penalties
incurred.
We do not mean to say that play
ers should demand their full penal
ties for infractions Of the rules when
the equities of the situation may in
dicate that an enforcement of the
rules should be waived. For instance,
II one OF your opponents is hard OF
hearing and therefore makes an in
sumcient bid, player should properly
waive any penalty to which he there
by became entitled. Similarly If a
lead out Of turn is made as q re-
suit OF some Misrepresentation caused
BY the declarer or his partner, it is
proper frequently to waive any penalty
thereby incurred.
In the main, however, the enjov.
ment Of the game is increased by en-
forcing strictly the penalties pre-
scribed by the rules. In every In.
stance a penalty incurred should be
imposed unless there is q specially
good reason for not doing so.
In the 1885 edition Of the Interna-
tional Bridge Laws, for the first time,
there is a section on the "proprie-
ties" Of the game. It Is important
that every player fully acquaint him.
self with these proprieties. Practically
all expert players follow them Is set
forth In the laws and are extraordi-
narily careful to avoid in every man
ner any unethical play or bid during
the game. These players realize that
such practices detract from the en-
joyment Of the game. q
In the main, the proprfeties re-
quire that no player. by any remark,
gesture, or other mannerism. furnish
his partner with any information with
respect to the play or bidding on the
hand. In addition the proprieties
require that all players refrain from
intentional infraction of the rules,
Also, a player should endeavor not
to mislead his opponents except BY
the cards actually played. BY this
Is meant that. having . singleton, a
player should not hesitate unduly
In playing the card. or play a card
with particular emphasis in order to
mislead the opponents in some man
ner. Each card should be played
by every player ut the table in the
same manner Is every other card.
Expert players have ut various
times been charged with deliberately
violating the proprieties. In our ex-

perience we find that seldom, If ever,
does a real expert violate any of
the proprieties OF the game. II any
thing, the expert leans over back
ward to avoid any such charge On
the other hand, many nonexpert
players, some Of whom are known
to be extremely ethical in their busi-
nesses and professions. do not hesi-
tate to breach in various ways the
bridge proprieties. This may be due
to the fact that they are either
ignorant Of the proprieties or that
they feel it is proper to outwit their
bridge opponents In every possible
way.
Among the various examples of i'm
proper conduct may be cited the
following: % Fumbling with q sin

ner's hesitation in the bidding or
play. (3) playing cards too quickly
or with undue delay in order to

In the addenda to the rules. We
would advise our readers that it Is the
