AUCTION BRIDGE PLAY BY THE DECLARER.

The declaration at Auction Bridge of such, very great importance that many players bave devoted all their time to improving their game in this respect, ta the utter neglect of that very necessary road to success, the play of the hand. Yet it is of little use to make a sound declaration and then to play the hand

badly that the contract cannot be ob- tained. If even one trick is lost by bad play that one trick may make just the difference between winning the game and nos winning it. If the tuck is evenly divided, each player will have his turni to hold cards good enough to win the game, and if he fails to win the game when he has the chance it will cost him. the rubber I suppose. there are some persons who ure dogged by persistent bad fuck," and others who seem always to bold good cards; but on the average the luck is very evenly distributed, not, perhaps, at ons sitting, but through any reason. able period of time. The player who secras always to win may be lucky, but he probably wins because he makes as much as possible out of a good hand, and loses only what, he is bound to lose en a bad hand. The bad player misses his opportunities and blames his luck; the good player is considered fortunate because he wins. In a spade call, for instance, one player will make three cdd" tricks, while a better player will make. four on an identical hand. He will have done nothing spectacular, but he will have secured just the one trick" more to make game.

As soon as the first dead is made and the dummy hand is laid an the table, the declarer should make his plan of campaign, tounting the tricks he is bound to lose; those he is bound to win, and the doubtful tricks which de- pend entirely on the position of the in- seen cards, He mut remember any declaration of his opponents which will help him to locate the probable position of the high cards, and he must make up his mind in which way he is going to play the hand.

It is, of course, necessary, if the cards are very unevenly distributed, or if the declara- tions have proved miskading, to change the plan, but any reasonable chances should be anticipated, and the general scheine should not need readjustment for

RPENTRY CARDS,
