Okw toplufBriitgB AUCTION w CONTRACT iy'Wyni ne Ferguson PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIOCB' ARTICLE No. 32 One important point about Auction Md Contract tbat most players over- look is tbat when ;ou bid, you are trying to buy something. In is really •a auctiOD and the privilege of play- lag the hand is what you are bidding for. Once that point is firmly fixed la your mind, let your bidding mean •omethiog, let it be baclied by com- â- Mo sense and good judgment. If you attend an auction sale, you go with tke idea of getting something for your iboney and with that end in view you •lercise good Jadgment. The same business judgment should be applied to the games of Auction and Contract, and you will soon get the good resalts. Don't make wild bids or take chances unless the angle war- Heartsâ€" Q.

To illustrate: at a void score, don't overbid your baud if game is In no danger; on the other band, if game is in '!anger, then it is advisable lo overbid. Take no chances of being doubled unless the penalty that you may incur is more than offset by the | game saved. I The odds are always against the rash bidder unless he follows the rule | just given. On the other hand, don't | allow the risk of losing a trick or so i to keep you from bidding, when game ! is in danger. Then you have the pro- 1 per angle and with any proper justi-l flcation.

If either A or B bad bid spades, they could b?' ; Bade fiv» odd against any defense and a little slam if hearts were opened. The value of bidding four rather than tbree hearts with a freak hand of this type is well exemplified. A three- beart bid would have been overbid by B, either with diamonds or spades and tbus have given A B a chance for game. In case of any overbid. Y vould certainly bid four hearts, so why not bid It at once and have a better chance to shut out the spade Heartsâ€" A.

In case of a three-spade bid by B at Auction, .\ would be in a ticklish position if Y should bid four hearts. His hand is so strong in hearts that it would b-i a great temptation to double, but a four-spade bid would be preferable. The bidding should indi- cate a freak hand and that he cannot hope to set the contract more than two tricks. On the other hand, he has a s »re game in spades. Tnder such conditions, he should bid four spades, rather than double. At Contract. Y should either bid tour hearts or pass. A three-heart bid would be very unsound. The following hand is a good example of what happens to players who are too much influenced by 'xir aces: i The Golden Province of Canada In the midat of a world of depression, the Gold Mining in- dustry of Ontario has risen to a new record production. The Gold Mines of the Province in 1931 produced precious metal to the value of 43 Million Dollars, which is 20 per cent, in advance ef the output for 1930, and four-tifth.s of the total gold production by the Dominion of Canada.

INDIAN MAIDEN GREAT ATHLETE Liza Commander, pretty Indian maiden and outstanding athlete of the French River country, plans to be right up in the front at the finish of the Marathon Swim at the Toronto Exhibition this year. She is a daughter of Peter Commander, famous Ojibway Guide at the Canadian Pacific Railway's French River Bungalow Camp. Liza is training for the contest by packing heavy bags of golf clubs around the French River course, and by spending long hours swimming. She Is seen above with Mrs. Jack G.

B and Z pasj-ed and A bid two hearts. At this point. y should pass and let A play the hand, either at Auction or at Contract. There Is no chance for A to make game and therefore no reason for Y to risk a big loss by bidding two no trump or three diamonds. Under such conditions, the angle is against an over-bid. With careful play. A can make two hearts. If Y bids two no trump ard is doubled, he will lose Iks contract by two tricks. If he bids three diamonds, he wilt also lose his contract by two or possibly three tricks.

Author of "Golden Age" Passes at Seventy-two The death of the British author, Kenneth Graha.ne, at the age of •eventy-two, at Pangbourne-on-the- Thames, recalls the appearan:e ttJrty-seven years ago of "The Gold- en Age," a delightful little book which then obtained and btill retains a wide vogue among people of taste. In it the author wrote with sympa- thetic understanding and unexcelled charm regarding children and their attitude towards their elders. "These aiders, our betters by a trick of chance, commanded no respect, but only a certain blend of envy â€" of Iheir good luck â€" and pity â€" for their inability to makij use of it. Indeed, it was one of the most hopeless fea- tures in their character that, having absolute license to indulge in the pleasures of life, they could get no good of it. They might dabble in the pond all day, hunt the chickens, climb trees In tha most uncompromising Sunday clothes; they were free to issue forth and buy gunpowder in the full eye of the sun â€" free to fire cannons and explode mines of the lawn; yet they never did any one of these things. No irresistible energy hailed them to church o' Sundays; yet they went there regularly of their own accord, though they betrayed no greater delight in the experience than ourselves. . . .
