DOUBLING AND REDOUBLING,
WHEN NOT TO DOUBLE,

B1 double is sometimes advisable as a witra- ing to your partner not to go on calling kis suit.
Dalton, p. 79, it is sometimes advisable to double your opponents' call in order to stop your partner going any further with a coll in which you are not able to help him.'" Owen, p. 20, as a check on a rash partner double is frequently a most useful call.

So Dalton, p. 7. Bergholt, p. 101, it is not always by any meats easy to say whether it is better to double the opponent, or to declare in hope of game. Anthony, p. 108, it is all very well to go out on declaration, but after all a big win- ope ning rubber is dependent on one or more successful doubles, and the double will fre quently pay better than winning the game
on one's own call,"
It is always advisable to win the first game, and the last, and therefore to take game in either case, rather than to double. The beat time for doubling when your opponents are one game to your love. Dalton, p. 78, if each side has won a game go out to win the rubber without hesitation. if it is the second game and your opponents have won the first, go for the double.' Pachabo, p. 40, with a gat

Irwin, p 10%, there is a bluff, redoubla that sometimes works: if a player is doubled, and expects to be defeated, lhe redoubles, just to frighten the adversary off the double and back to his own snit
It doesn't always work, and when it doesn't, it is horribly expensive. Gillies; p. 110, the bluff redouble is a most dangerous proceeding; it sometimes succeeds, but non-success is disastrous.'
