AVHRAGE PLAYER'S MISTAKES ARE COSTLY, SAYS WYNNE FER- GUSON--300 TO 1,000 POINTS LOST IN AN EVENING THROUGH BAD PLAY. AND BIDDING. _aring the course of a discussion at one of the New York card clubs the otlfer night the writer made the statement, that in his opinion, an average players would lose from 500 to 1,000 points in an evening's play, | either by bad bidding or bad pldy or both. There was considerable dif- ference of opinion so the writer suggested that a player of average skill be selegted and that a record be kept of any bad bids or plays that he might Make during an evening's play. In order to make the scoring easier, it was agreed that games should count 125 points and that no record be kept of rubbers. The test player was selected and three other players, of whom the writer was one, made up the rubber. It was the duty of these three to call attention to any | mistakes of play or bidding by the test player and if in the opinion of all three it was a loss that could have been saved by average skill, it was charged against him; but not otherwise. Play continued for about three hours and during that time the test player made only five mistakes, two as to the play of the hands and three as to the bidding, but these five mistakes cost over %00 points. The mistakes as to play were unimportant, one due to failure to count trumps which cost game, a net loss of 130 points; the other to a failure to size up an opening lead as a marked singleton. The latter mistake only cost contract afd a not loss of 80 points. » It was on the bidding, however ,that the big losses occurred and as the three hands in question are nominal hands and bring up points in bid- ding that the average player.should know and understand, they are given below: Hand No. 1 h--K 9 2 ° c--K J 17 d--K Q9875 8--8 Test Player | b A B Zz No score. Z dealt and bid one no trump, A and Y passed and B bid two spades. Z and A passed. What should Y now do ? There are two sound bids.. that he could have made, one of two no-trump and the other of three diamonds. The two no-trump seems the sounder bid. Y has a no-trump hand himself and must figure that Z has a stopper in the spade suit. If Y bid two no-trump in this instance he and his partner would have scored four no-trump. Y, however, decided to bid three diamonds, B bid three spades and Z and A passed. At this point Y made a great mistake. Having once decided to bid diamonds, he should have rebid at least once, but for some unknown reason failed to do so and passed B's three spade bid. 'If he had bid four diamonds he could have scored game. As it was B made three spades with simple honors. Y's loss on this hand was 233 points. Hand No. 8 h--A9 4 c--b d--J 10 8 6 4 --QJS95 Test Player | » | | ~~ | No score. Z dealt and bid one no-trump, A doubled, Y passed and B bid two. des. Z passed and A now bid two no-trump. Y passed. B passed and Z bid three clubs. A doubled and Y suddenly decided to bid three ao-trump, about as bad a bid as could be imagined. His proper bid in this situation was three -diamonds. A doubled three no-trump and de- feated the contract by two tricks, a loss of 200 points. If Y had bid threa diamonds, he could have just made it, scoring three odd and simple hon- ors cor 35 points, Y's bad did in this instance cost 235 points. Hand No. 3 QJ T2 c--KJ87% a--K Q 9 --8 Y | Test Player | A A B Cin No score, Y dealt and bid one no-trump. This bid is not sound, as with this type of hand Y should have passed. B bid two spades, Z three clubs, A three diamonds, Y four clubs and B four spades. Z and A passed and Y made the mistake of also passing. It is a perfect hand on which to bid five clubs, not with the expecta- tion of making the bid, but for the purpose of saving game. Y should have known that B would almost certainly make game in spades nad that he couldn't lose more tham ome or two tricks at five clubs. He passed, however, and B made four spades with nine honors, a score of 242 points. : 5 : "If Y had bid five clubs, he would have only lost .50 points, less five honors, a net loss of 20 points. If the opponents had doubled, his 1088 would have been 70 points. Y's failure to bid five clubs with this hand cost 222 points, The total loss on the evening's play was 902 points and proved that writer's contention. Keep track of your mistakes and you 'will be surprised how many points are lost in this way. It is an object lesson to the average player and should prove a strong incentive to improve his game. : 7 Owing to lack of space, the solution of the problem given in last week's article will be postponed until next week.

Controller of the Household Tells of Peculiarities. 3 One of the whims of the former :alser was the gorgeous palace which ae built on the Island of Corfu, says .he Toronto Globe. The Greek Gov srnment has decided to sell all the turnishings -of it, including bhi: (amous saddle chair. "With whi} n hand and booted and spurred,' jays a 'despatch from Athens, "th 'ormer kaiser would sometime. nount this extraordinary chair «hich had a regulation German cav ury saddle with stirrups built /int. it, and slash about and screal cavalry calls like a crazy man." Further peculiarities of the forme .kalser are noted in the Memoirs o Count Robert Zedlitz-Trutzschle: who was Controller of the Househol( from 1903 to 1910. He must hav. had a suspicion of what was in store for him, as he writes: The elderly Lieutenant-Genera: Yon Eglofstein, my predecessor as troller of the Household--he had resign because his nerves were not aqual to this strenuous life--was the target of a special sort of amusement. As he constantly complained that his drink was too cold, it was warmea for him. Then the kaiser stirred ii up with his finger for a while, him self drank a little of it, and handec it back; now_it must be of the righ. (emperature. This, says Count Zedlits, was re garded as a mark of graciousness, and was accepted with becoming loyalty. It may be placed beside th: ceply to the court physician who pro aounced that the kaiser had caugh s+ little cold. '""A big cold," repliec Be kaiser; 'with me everything is 8." The distinguished colonel of a cavalry regiment was made to feel the power of the "All-Highest" when the kaiser, in the presence of a shoot- ing party and some hundreds of Sile- slan beaters, rolled him in the snow and rubbed some of it down his neck. So was Count Roger Seherr-Dorbrau, a member of the Prussian Upper House, 53 years of age, with two sons in the Lifeguard-Hussars, and a much-respected personage if Silesia. The kaiser greeted him at the shoot- ing party with: "What, you old swine, have you been invited here?' It was heard by the guests, including the ladies, and Count Zedlits reflects that "the kaiser does not realize the enemies he makes by these unguard- ed remarks." During a tramway strike in Berlin there was some talk of putting in the troops to quell it, and the akiser sent the following tel- egram to the headquarters of the Corps: "When the Guards in-' tervene I shall expect at least 500 persons to be shot down." And In 1907, when, as the result of the Camarilla scandal, the attacks in the press became rather vehement, the kaiser said: "If the press does not cease its attacks I'll send an adju tant down and have an editor shot." bs ~~ FOR SPRINGTIME; or eruptions may appear on the skin, | A Brick And Shingle House Along Cottage Limes.
