Sticks When Taking

A Free Hit

I WAS asked by an enthusiast

only the other day if "sticks" could be given against a player when taking a free hit. The answer, is "Yes." When taking a free hit, if the striker misses the ball he shall take the hit ngain, provided that he has not contravened Rule 10 (b) which reads: "When striking at the ball, no part of the stick shall |bo raised above the shoulder, either at the beginning or at the end of a stroke.” Some good players, who hardly give "sticks" in the course of general

You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very. best Bridge game for two people yet invented.

Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome. We are well aware of them--but they do not affect the character of the game in any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play. It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, Indeed the hands have been very carefully selected
