About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 Excerpt: ...less four honors, net loss 68. Had A been left at four spades, he could have made it, with four honors and game, total 197. This shows that Y saved 129 points by taking the sting to save the game, Y being confident that it would not be a large penalty if Z's bidding was sound.

At every table but one, Z rebid his hand, two spades. A and Y passed, B went to three hearts, and Z to three spades, which held. B knew his partner had nothing but the heart suit, but they should be able to save the game at spades, which they did, but Y and Z scored 45 points plus on the hand. At one table, instead of rebidding the spades, Z bid his supporting suit, three clubs. This immediately opened A's eyes to the situation, and when B assisted the hearts and Z went to three spades. A bid four hearts. He sees that B must be assisting on at least two tricks in diamonds, and if that suit makes, all that A can lose is two clubs and a spade. If he is set one more trick, it may save the game. On the play, A made...
