Five diamonds, including two honors and a trick in two other suits. 4. Four diamonds, including four honors. Standard for diamond make will al so cover the standard for club make. In Auction the opening bid is a fre3 one and should be made from strength more than length, and the information should be acurate. Later bids are ac cording to information gained by the later bidding or conversation of the game. No-Trump is always sought for, as any good card in partner's hand will asist. It . shows a good holding of high cards. It requires fewer tricks to win the game It cuts out the small er bids, in otheF words, the "Pikers." Do not be afraid to bid one no-trump, evn though short in major suits. Oppo nents may bid the suit ycu are weak in. -You may then change your bid, but you have informed your partner. A bid of two in any suit means it is best to play the hand in that bid. The state of the score should never be lost sight of for a moment, for that is the goal of every' good player in any game, and especially so in Auction where the 250 bonus for winning the rubber is a prime object.

From indications, the fire laddies the s-eason. and will be attended by j he season, and willb o attended by three small cards .... Diamonds Q. and one small card Clubs One small card In the above hand you must: Count a loss for King and Queen of Spades. Count a los of Ace of Hearts. Count a loss for Ace of Clubs. Count . a loss for Ace and King of Diamonds. With hearts as trumps in this hand, or any suit as trumps, count a loss for each missing Ace, King or Queen, as ong as the hand can follow suit. What ever is left in each suit count a3 esti mated tricks. Add to your estimated tricks the one you have the right to ex pect from your partner and yau have the value of your hand. I have found this method of valuation to be almost nfallible. Having two suits to declare, usually ake the weaker. The stronger suit will always be good the weaker is trengthened by making It trumps. When the hand has a "singleton," or mining suit, the biding should not be high, unles you hold six or more of the trump suit. You cannot afford to be forced, as it will weaken the trump holding. The hand may be overbid one trick if it contains four honors in the suit. or if it is the rubber game. The honor score may more than equal the loss. and you can afford to risk the loss cT 50 or 100 penalty score on the rubber game for an even chance to win iL In no game does circumstances play so important a part as in Auction. Up on whan has been bid depnds what must be bid. A player may often buy the make at a low price, but beware of the cheap buy, for there is generally soma good reason why opponents dor.t make at least one bid. They may be lying low to let you make stand. It is not good policy to double a one-trick bid, as the original bidder will theu realize his danger and change the suit. The third hand dealer's partner should be ever watchful, ready to help his parttner, the dealer, raise any bid he may have made. Always bear in mind, however that the dealer has counted on one trick in his partner's hand. In other words, endeavor to combine the strength of the two hands. One hand may be utterly worthless, but with combination, many tricks may be won. whOev many card games are partnership affairs, none permit Buch and Question 2cce Conducted hy Hoijle, Jr. I, i perfect teamwork as Auction Tnrlccui I a. i .i . . . . it i me unny ana narmony of the two nanas tinat make lor sucess. and exemplify the old slogan, "United we stand; divided we fall." Do net raise partner's bid on trump, strength alone, as he has trumps him self. Your best asistance is in extra tricks in outside suis. Also, be careful not to raise part net's bid when you hold a singleton. The suit that your hand is short in may weaken your partner's trump hold ing by using his trumps to ruff the op, ronents' suit in which you have the singleton (or sneak). , When third hand and partner bid one no-trump, and you hold a hand Avithout a trick or a "bust," if you have a five card suit, take partner of the no-trump by bidding two in the long suit. If his hand is strong he may then so two no trump, without extra loss. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. What is a ruff and a cross ruff? A. Ruff is a condition in which one player can trump a suit hig partner leads, (holding none of the snit led.) Cross-Ruff is a condition in which two partners alternately trump the other's lead (also called see-saw). Q. What is a singleton? A. The only card of a Fuii dealt tc a hand, also called a "sneak." (Ci. What is meant by game? A. Thirty or more trick points con stitute a game. All points in excess of thirty are counted by the side winning them, but only one game can be won in a deal.
