to refuse to unblock his partner's suit
The weak player is very ingenious in
his methods but his old stand-by, the
one that never fails to lose tricks and
usually game,' is the refusal to trump

the declarer discard all his losing card*

due of the developments of Auction
and Contract that is seldom discussed
may be designated “Lost Tricks.” The
hands that contain aces and kings play
themselves to such an extent that even
the weak player can go game with
them. The hands where lost tricks be-
come important are those that require
good judgment, keen perception, and
above all a thorough understanding
between partners. Tricks that are lost
under such conditions are the “might
have beens” of Auction that irritate
for days. One expert is authority for
the statement that four out of every
five rubbers are' “chucked” and most
Auction players will agree, with him.
Such a statement shows the importance
of lost tricks, and the necessity of
eliminating their causes.
' All games of cards afford an excellent
opportunity to study human nature
and never to such an extent as when
the lost tricks crop up. Avoid criticism.
Play Auction and Contract the best , . . - . °
you can but never let it^fipset you or and is only too willing to explain away
your temper. Lost tricks are a part'of the cause of your lost tricks. Work to
' the game, both for you and your part- ' * ’ u_
ner, so never let* them disturb your
equanimity. Auction and Contract are
games that properly played will act as
a sound training both for the mind and
• temper., Remember, a i ’
’* valuable asset; especially if you are to
avoid lost tricks. If you become .dis-
turbed either by your own lost tricks
or by your partner’s^ it means that you
will lose other tricks before you regain
control of yourself. There is only one witu, uc«i vne enu m * u«mi, jrvu «■»»
