TWO books have recently ap
peared on auction which will be
of great Interest to auction lov
ers. One of these is "Auction Meth
ods Up-to-Date," by Milton C. Work;
the other, "Master Auction," by Flor
ence Irwin. Both of these names are
too well known in the auction world
to need introduction. . 1
On some points Mr. Work and Miss
Irwin are diametrically opposed, and
as each has a large following, a
player should familiarize himself
with the particular methods Indorsed
by each If he would become an
adaptable player and get at all times
the best results.
The chief measures on which, they
differ are with regard to the pre
emptive bid and the informatory or
one-trick double. As these things are
of the greatest importance and to a
more or les degree an index to one's
holding, it can readily be seen how
thuir application or non-application
can easily affect the play of the en
tire hand and produce essentially dif
ferent results.
The pre-emptive bid, as'I think all
players know, is the bid at the start
of three, four or a greater number
of tricks rather than one only, the
idea being to handicap the adversary
and prevent his making a bid which
might be carried by his partner,
though not himself holding an orig
inal bid, to such- figure that they
would secure the declaration and
perhaps -make game.
Mr. Work strongly advocates the
pre-emptive bid and the one-trick
double. Miss Irwin as strongly op
poses them.
Regarding the pre-emptive bid, Mr.
Work offers the following:
"An initial bid of more than two,
either in a major or minor, is a pre
emptive declaration and indicates
that - the bidder has good reason to
expect that he will win the game
should the suit named be the trump.
It also Indicates that the bidder is
very weak in some other direction
and is trying to shut out some par
ticular bid. With general-strength.

Walton brought with her her two I
pre-empting is not necessary of ad
visable. , ;
"The pre-emptive bid has five dis
tinct objects in view:
"1. It gives valuable information
to the partner regarding t.h number
of tricks the hand can take with a
certain trump.
"2. It may prevent an adverse bid
which could go game. 1
3. It may prevent an adverse bid
which, if made, would direct a lead
most advantageous to the opponents.
"4. It may prevent an adverse, bid
which, if made, would .be advanced
by the partner of the maker to such
a height that the Initial bidder would
be forced into a losing contract.
"5. It may Induce the opponents to
make an unwarranted bid that they
would not otherwise attempt and con.
sequently may produce a heavy pen
alty that would not otherwise be
obtained."
Miss Irwin, on the other hand, says
the following:
"I have never seen a pre-emptive
bid that was both necessary- and ef
fective. There are several objec
tions to the pre-emptive bid.
"1. It often inconveniences your
partner rather than your adversary.
He will be a weight in your suit.
ana ne has a perfectly good over
call for a one-bid. But after a pre
emptive opening he is bound and
gagged.
"2. The bands cannot be properly
combined. Instead of reaching -out
for information, you block it.
"3. In keeping the adversaries from
communicating with each-other you
equally keep them from telling' you
things that would be useful to you.
Those players who open their ears
and listen are wiser than those who
close their ears and bellow. It is the
old story of 'I talk so loud and so
much that I have no time to listen1
versus 'There are so many Instructive
things to which I want to listen that
I talk only ae much as is really
necessary to my business.'
"4. Pre-emptive bidders are so in
love with bidding that they entirely
forget the penalty field. If you
never let the adversaries bid, you
can -never defeat them. To defeat
the hand is worth 60 a 'trick re-
-vx. a-
dogs, which have crossed the ocean
16 times.
' gardless of suit. To play it Is worth
ten at the niost. The great art of
coaxing the adversary along till you
have him where you can defeat him
to the tone of a hundred or two, or
tbree, is entirely lost on the pre
emptive bidder. He merely plays
bid bridge; he knows nothing of the
opportunities offered by penalties.
The privilege of playing the .hand is
something, but it Is not everything.
The rubber is worth 250 no more.
Does it make sense to run so hard
for 250 that you will not stop to pick
up 300 or 400 on the way?
"5. The pre-emptive method Is
heavy, primitive and clumsy. In the
infancy of auction everyone bid that
way I with the others. Now I have
learned better. The pre-emptive bid
is like a bludgeon or a-sandbag in
tended to silence the adversary with
one fell blow. The other method is
like rapier play subtle, skillful,
graceful, beautiful.
6. The pre-emptive bid often makes
the adversary wakp up and look at
nis nana 10 see wnat it is you tear.
He will make a bid that he would
not otherwise have made and pull it
off successfully, thanks to the pre
emptive warning.
Going on with the subject, she says
further:
"It is not only theoretically that
pre-emptive bids prove full of flaws
practically they are equally disap
pointing; they are futile: they do not
pre-empt. Under a system where the
suit values are only one point apart,
how are you going to silence 'your
adversary? If he has a better hand
than you,, be will get the bid, any
how: if he has a poorer hand than
you, you might as well get your bid
as cheaply as possible. The only
opening bid that would surely de
prive the adversary of his bidding
privileges is 'seven no trumps.' "
In support of her arguments. Miss
Irwin cites the following, which oc
curred in actual play. The distribu
tion of the cards was thus:

spades," with the intent to shut out
hearts. Strictly speaking, a bid of
I two Is not a pre-emptive bid, though
it may Bervs as sucn. uui m cnui -rather
to inform one's partner as to
a special holding. In this case, how
ever, it was Intended as a pre
emptive bid and as such was con
strued. 1 .
A passed.; likewise T. So, indeed
B ordinarily would have done, but
as the- bid was a pre-emptive one,
she deliberated. The declarer, it was
clear, was defenseless in a certain
suit. This suit, she correctly in
ferred, must be hearts, of which she
held seven to the jack. The dealer
had denied strength in the suit, so
the high card strength was between
her partner and her right-hand ad
versary,: with the partner standing as
good a chance to hold it as the ad
versary. Thus reasoning and with
the hope to defeat the pre-emptive
bidder, she went "three hearts." Had
Z started with one spade, she would
have passed, Z would have secured
the declaration and would easily have
made three by cards, or 27, plus 36
honors a total of 63.
Zcalled "three spades." and A. with
the two commanding cards of her
partner's suit, a guarded king in a
side suit and a singleton, went "four
hearts." A could read, of course, that
her partner's bid waa Irregular, but
inferring her to have unusual numer
ical strength and suspecting Us mo
tive, her course was entirely justi
fiable. The result was that B se
cured the declaration and made a
grand slam. The possibilities of the
two hands B would never have
dreamed nor would she have made a
first round bid on Jack high had
the dealer not started with a pre
emptive bid.
This case illustrates how a keen
adversary may at times circumvent
a pre-emptive bidder and effectively
destroy his best laid plans. . A de
fense, then, against pre-emptive bid
der would seem to be the following:
When you oan detect the suit the
bidder is trying to shut out, bid it
if your hand at all Justifies your
doing so, even though the bid does
not conform strictly to the require
ments of a conventional first-round
bid. At times bid, if necessary, two
or three tricks in excess of what
your hand would seem to warrant.
taking chances upon receiving help
from your partner. Of course, keep
within the bounds of reason, but if
the situation mema to demand it, do
not hesitate to employ methods that
you would not ordinarily do. Be
vigilant, subtle and wary. In a word.
if you feel your bid stands any
chance at all refuse to be "shut
out." If you do not succeed in get
ting the declaration you at least may
induce the pre-emptive bidder or his
partner to over-reach themselves and
so secure good penalties.
Miss Irwin gives the following
hand, also, in support of her conten
tions: .

In this case she herself was one
of the players, and, as it happened
the dealer. To her utter amazement
she dealt herself the hand as given.
The situation was so novel that her
first Impulse, she says, was to bid
"seven hearts," with hearts as trump
she being assured of every trick.
Upon sober second thought, however,
foreseeing the possibilities of a dou
ble, she quietly bid "one heart." - A
promptly responded by going "one
spade." Y and B passed, and Z said
"two hearts," A going "two spadee.
The bidding went on between hearts
and spades, B giving her partner one
raise rather a light hand on which
to raise, but nevertheless within the
bounds of legitimacy until Z had
gone "five hearts." Then happened
Just what she had been inwardly
praying would happen. A doubled.
Reckoning upon his two aces as a
trick each. A counted upon the book
in bis own hand. Then if his king
of spades would also win, or if be
could get a ruff in clubs, or If his
partner, who had given him one raise,
could- win even one trick, the sue
cess of the double was assured. There
can be little doubt that the double
was Justifiable.
What do you suppose Z did in the
matter? Most players, I have no
doubt, will say: "Why, of course, she
redoubled. With every trick In her
hand with hearts as trumps, that was
the only sane thing for her to do.
To the astonishment, then, of my
readers. I would explain that was the
very thing she did not do. -While
that she would take every, trick was
a foregone conclusion, and redoubled
hearts would insure an excellent
score, such etep she saw entailed too
fi-reat risk. If A went back to his
bid. which likely he would do, while
she. to be sure, would call "six
hearts" and under any circumstances
secure the bid. she could not reason
ablv exoect A again to douDie, so
she would have over-reached herself
ana tne very nuns
from the beginning would De aeteatea
by her own act. The hand would be
played at the normal value 01 nearia
only and instead of getting a score of
426, as she -in reality did, she would
score but 120- This is a beautjru
example . of forbearance and discre
tion which it behooves players to en
deavor to emulate. ,
