ARTICLE No. 14.
The trick bidder seems to be flourish,
ing lately, for a number of hands have
beansubmitted, as examples of the value
of trick bids. These niay be all right for
the gambling type of players but the
writer prefers the sound, conventional
bide, bids that really inform. There is
no system of biddin that can hold its
own with a system that gives exact in-
formation at all times, information that
really informs. The bidding, if conven-
tional, should "mirror" one's hand to
one's partner. It should, give informa-
tion.
nformation.' that will enable partner to act in-
telligently in his subsequent bidding.
The goal of all bidding at auction is to
arrive at the best bid of the combined
hands, that is the best bid of twenty-
six cards, not of thirteen. A player: who
uses trick bids may confuse his op-
ponents occasionally but in the Jong
run, he loses more by loss of faith of his
Partner in the soundness of Itis bids,
than he can possibly gain byhis trick
biddin. A partnership to be successful,
either in business or auction, must be
founded on mutual, trust and confidence.,
For that reason, be reliable at all times.
Let, your bids mean what you say.
"Every advertised feature a sacred,
Pledge," is not only a good motto for
business nien but also for auction play-
ers. Learn the conventional bids and
stick to them. Be reliable, first, last and
all the time. a
In the following hand, the tricky
bidder won out but his gain on that
hand has more than been offset by lees
of confidence of his 'partner. There's
nothing, in these trick bids in the long
run so keep away from them. • The ex-
ample is given more as a warning than
as a model to follow.

•
In the actual play Z passed and A laid
don seven set up club tricks and so
set the contract by three tricks or 600
points. A's trick bidding was successful
en this instance but Y and Z should
have been on the start. Z's mistake cc-
curred when he failed to allow the three
diamond double to stay in. Iahe had, A
would have bid four clubs and if doub-
led would have lost three tricks or 300
points. Y made a serious error by re-
doubling A's double of three no-trump,
He should have realized by then that
A could not be doubling on diamonds
or hearts: As he held four spades, A's
double must be based on the club suit.
His redouble is very bad. With Z's hand,
the writer would have bid four spades.
It should have been apparenthat A
was doubling on the club suit andnoth-
ing more. At spades, YZ could make
four odd without trouble. The hands of
all four players are as follows:
Hearts - K, 7, 5
Clubs - 8, 5
Diamonds - K, Q, J, 7
Spades.- J, 10, 9, 8

Problem No. 8
Hearts -10, 8, 4, 2
Clubs -6
Diamonds -10, 5, 4, 3.
Spades - K, 7,'6, 3.
The following hand involves a principle of play that comes up very frequently.

writer's analysis that will be given ii"i`the next article:

The First Coronation.
Charles Charlemagne, King of the.
Pranks, S00 I3 O., was the first Euro-
pean to be crowned in what was con
s+idered the modern` way. Previour,'to
his Crowning all rulers, had made away'
with the pos•sestor.gf the: crowns and,
then: stole them. Impress Irene was
empress at the time because she used
guile to elevate her son to the throne.
Then she put out his eyes and took
the crown to herself,"as .int is written.
of Athalialt in the Book of Kings."
Charlemagne decided to steal the
crown from her but meantime the
Pope decided to take a hand , claitnI ng
that all crowns belonged by divine
right to the Polies a"sid consequently
the crowns were theirs to -give. One
clay when Charlemagne was at prayer
in 'church the Pope descended from
the altar and placed the crown en
Charlemagne's head. Such a. thing;
liras entirely unsu,spected but Char1e-
maigne deckled to:.let things stand that
way.
