Auction Bridge No. 11 ' "One man's -weakness 'may he ; Another man's opportunity." it is an undisputed fact that luck at cards will run with certain players in straight deals at any Kiime, .Such luck is called "(rambler's luck." Therefore, about twenty-fivo years ago, Mr. CaKsius M. Paine devised and patented an apparatus for playing duplicate whist. This device is a tray for holding a deck of cards dealt Into four hands. ICach table playing is allotted a certain number of these trays, and the hands, after being play ed, are returned to their original com partments In the trays, which are then .the novice will end with failure. passed to the next table.

For it is one man's weakness that proves the other man's opportunity. With exactly the same amount of value ir. each hand, the condition is the flame as that obtained by giving Severn' persons the same tools and materials with which to moke a given article. In either case, the expert will -turn out a finished product or score, and hands in the course of the contest; all those seated toward the south, east and west do likewise. This form of play was adopted by The American Whist I-eaguc for all of their contests. Later, when Bridge made its debut into the world of sport and also when Auction liridge super seded it. the same plan was followed. Dealer's Hand. Kpades-r A., o. lleaits A., K., Q., oo.

Questions and Answers. C. What is a fourchctte? A. A fourchctte (fork) means the ing "hands of equal value." By this eaids next above and below the can scheme, the experts in many cities in the United States arc playing ldcnli .cal hands of Auction for charities. The uuditing of all score cards at a cen tral station will reveal the best player The plan is this: Two decks of cards are so marked that twenty-four hands may be dealt, twelve from each pack, and these hand are played in turn by different players. While this scheme is very ingenious, It will not be Inter led. Nine is led, and the next player holds ten and. eight. The correct play is to cover the nine with the ten and force the eight 'up in value. Q. What is meant by forcing dig cards? ; ' A.
