How many players thoroughly un
derstand the type of hand that justifies
a fourth hand bid, when the first three
players have passed? One expert claims
that many more games are lost hy fail
ure to bid in this position than is gener
ally realized. If such is the case, what is
the real test of a sound fourth hand bid?
Most of the authorities seem to stress
the importance of having a game-going
hand before opening the bidding fourth
hand. They say: "Don't make an orig
inal fourth hand bid unless you can go
fame." The writer is of thftopinion that
this view is unsound. The real test is:
"Can I save game if I open the bidding,
irrespective of what my opponents may
bid? Jf you can answer that question
in the affirmative, you have a sound
fourth hand bid but not otherwise. Why

was now up against a pretty problem.
Ninety-nine players out of one hundred
would have passed, but not the expert.
He figured that if the other three hands
were evenly divided as to strength,
there was little chance for his opponents
to go game. On the other hand, he
would need very little help from his
partner to make game. B bid one heart
and all passed. Z opened" the queen of
diamonds and B made four odd in
hearts and thus profited by his bold
fpurth hand bid.

spades or clubs were divided. He had
already lost one trick so that if he was
to make game, he could only lose one
more trick. Y, the dummy, is in the
lead. How should Z play the hand so
that he can go game against any de

How can he win all five tricks against

three of hearts. He cannot discard a

passed as did A and Y. B, the expert,
bid one diamond, Z one no-trump, A
two clubs and Y two hearts. Here's
where B made another bold bid. He
figured that A didn't have tops in clubs
so that a game in clubs was doubtful.
On the other hand, A should have either
tricks in clubs or another suit and,
therefore, help for a no-trump. B, there
fore, bid two no-trump and all passed.
He just made three odd and scored
game and rubber.
The writer was watching a very good
player the other evening and was sur
prised to see him lose a game by failing
to make a very evident play. Sec if you
would have won the game or "chucked"
it as he did.

are good; if he discards the latter, Ys
nine of spades is good. This forcing of
the discards is popularly known as the
"squeeze" play, and in the example
given, Z was able to force the "double"
squeeze; that isx force both opponents
to discard winning cards. It is an easy
little problem but should be carefully
studied and understood for there are
many opportunities to apply its princi

Dirge In Uw Wood.
A wind aways In tho pines.
And below
Not a breath of wild air,
Stilt as tho mosses that glow
On the flooring and over tho lines
of tho roots here and thcro.
The pine-tree drops Its dead;
They are quiet as under tho sea.
Overhead, overheard
Hushes life In u race.
Ah the clouds tho clouds chase;
Mini wo go.
And wo drop llko tho fruits of tho
tree.
Kven we,
liven so.
