ARTICLE No. 17
Of what practical use are conventions
of bidding? One hears thin question
continually but seldom an intelligent
answer, and vet the reason is a very
biiiimc one. x ne conventions 01 aurnou
are like the words of a language. They
enable partners to give information as
to their hands and so exchange intelli
gent thought with one another in the
endeavor to arrive at the best bid of
t-te combined hands. Auction is a game
where rie players are bidding against
one another for the privilege of playing
the hand, and unless partners under
stand one another's buis, they will fre
quently bid against one another to their
disadvantage. The object of all bidding
at auction is to arrive at the best bid
of the combined hands and this can be
done only by Intelligent cooperation
between partners. Jf you bid one heart,
meaning one kind of hand at one time
and an entirely different type at anot her
time, how can you give partner infor
mation of any value? He will be forced
to guess as to your holdi ng and, as usual
with guesses, he is much more apt to
guess wrong than right. Let your origi
nal bids mean something definite, some
thing that your partner can depend
upon at all times. Let an original suit
bid mean that you have at feast two
sure tricks in your hand, one of which
is in the suit bid. Tell your partner the
truth. Let him feel that you are pre
pared to play the hand at that suit or,
if the opponents win the bid, that he
can safely lead your suit. Or if you bid
no-trump, let him feel that you have
your bid; that you have at least two
Bit re tricks distributed among at least
three suits. When you bid, you are
really making a promise to your part
ner that you can make that bid; so be
prepared to make pood. In the laneuaee
of the merchant, let every advertised
feature be a sacred pledge. When you
iiiukb an original uiu, nuiu aces ana
kings, or hold your tongue.
An interesting hand has lust been
brought to the writer's attention, show
ing the value of mentally placing cer
tain cards in opponents' hands in such
a way that game is possible, and then
playing accordingly;

where he will be station aKcnt and In

Y and B passed and Z doubled. A re
doubled and Y and B passed. What
would you have done with Z's hand? Z
should certainly bid four spades after
A's redouble. 1 hat is where A made a
bad bid. He had bid his hand very
trickily up to that time but when he
f;ot his four club bid doubled, he should
lave been satisfied. His two heart bid
was an apparent blulf bid and should
have appeared so to Z. How could his
partner V double two hearts unless the
bid was a bluff? When A redoubled, Z
finally awoke to the situation and bid
four spades. A's partner doubled this
bid and Z just made his contract. At
four clubs, A should have just made hts
bid so he lost all of his previous Rain
by the redouble. A's biddingin this
hand recalls Lincoln's famous saying:
"You can fool all of the people some of
the time and some of the people utt of
the time, but you can't fool all of the
people all of tiie time."
