In studying the play of the hands,
there is no one thing of more value than
the so-called “end play.” The good
player can determine the location of
the last few cards in every hand and
the proper way to play these few remain
ing cards constitutes end play. You
taod every play tellsffcim something. Bj
the time only a rear cards remain to bi
flayed he knows every one, and i f then
as a way to gain a-trick he can figure i|
rout. Such results of observation, card
.memory, inferences and ded uctions seem
within reach of all.
don’t need card sense to understand
end plays. All you need is observation
and the faculty of remembering the
cards as played. Even without the
natural altitude for Auction that some
players possess, you can acquire a good
-working knowledge of the game it you
save the necessary grit and detempna
tion to improve. ' ,
The good player frequently makes
plays that seem uncanny to the less
experienced player but they are really
not so wonderful. A good player is on
the alert from the play of the first card
A Message
of Good Cheer
In trying for cad plays, be sure ol
your deductions before trying for th«
extra trick. For example, never risk the
Joss of a game or of your contract to
gain the extra trick. First make sure ol
game and then take the chances. You
can never acquire the knack without
trying. Constant practice and correct
deductions give the best results io
Auction as in everything else.
The following are examples of the
ordinary end plays that come up day

Spades —A, J,5
Spades are trumps and Z has the lead. He knows that all the remaining trumps
re in A’s hand so should lead the five of spades. A must win the trick and lead
p to the ace Jack in Z’s hand. If Z plays the ace and five of spades, A will win
ro tricks. This is another end play that comes up in many games of Auction.
