A Brief Summation

The 18 articles already devoted to point-counting cannot, of course, do full justice to this extrcmely comprehensive subject. Contract bridge would not be the magnifi- cent game it is if it could be sum- med up in 18. or 180, short artic- les! Since 1927, when contract started to become popular in the liizited States. there have been hundreds oi millions of words v.ritir.ii on the subject by thou- sands of writers, and still, new ideas. new and provocative prin- czples are being brought to light.

T'ne'most that can be hoped for from any bidding method is a better evaluation of hands - both one's own 13 cards and, in com- liination, the 26 cards of a part- nership, with information flowing aross the table in the form of bids whlcii mean so many points as ii minimum, on many as a maxi- mum. A point count is a guide. a yardstick, a method of determin- ing individual and jriint values. but it will not and cannot make hairline decisions for a player, not tell him when a particular queen is apt to be a key card, nor, in oilier cases, when a queen should be heavily discounted.

Perhaps the greatest disservice that has been done to bridge players in the past is the strong implication, if not the direct riaim, that such-and-such a point- :ount method will unerringiy and automatically put them into infall- .hle contractsl It will do no such .hlngl Perfect familiarity with the mine point-count method by two partners will protect them from many of the disasters they have sicurred in the past - which is iurely a step to be hoped for de- voutlyl -- and there should also be far greater partnership accur- ancy in reaching or not reaching games or slams.

There will, however - point- count or no point-count - still be plenty of scope for the exer- cise of judgement and imagina-

By FOOLISH LITTLE ME. TOO- SMART

T hornto

Never over-play your part, It doesn't pay to be too smart.

Often in a family of children one is smarter than the others, or seems to be. It was so with the five young Foxes up in the Old Pasture. They were the children of Raddy Fox and Mrs. Raddy. In everything the smart one was al- ways a little quicker than his bro- thers and sisters. Of course it wasn't very long before he realiz- ed that he was just a wee bit smarter than the others. Then in little way: he began to show off how smart he was. He was becom- ing too smart for his own good. It is never a good thing to be too smart. ometiines it is better to be too slow than too smart. ways foolish for little folks to think that fathers and mothers do not know best. Yes. air. it is al- ways foolish.

Little Mr. Too-Smart, first mak- ing sure that neither father or mother was watching. started out hunting. He had already hunted Crickets and Grasshoppers, and found it fun. He had even caught a Mouse once. and that was the the most exciting thing that had happened in his short life. Now, whenever he started out, it always was with the hope that he could catch another Mouse. He didn't

tion; plenty of scope, too, for am- iable or not-so-amiable postmor- tems. there will be no greater fin- ality in a player's saying, "But gee. Partner, I had eighteen points!' than there ever was in the simi- lar cry of: But gee, partner, I had four honor-tricks!"

In forthcoming articles, there will of course be many references to the point-count method, and rea- ders will have ample opportunity to apply the formulas the require-

realize that the catching of that first Mouse was an accident, so to

Little. Mr. Too-Smart became more and more venturcsoine. When father and mother were not ri- round he would go off hunting where he knew perfectly well fa- ther and mother would not let him go alone were they there to stop him.

”They are foolish," said Llttlc Mr. Too-Smart to his brothers and sisters. ”Yes, sir, father and mu- ilher are foolish. They iiry it scare us by telling us of the dread- ful things that can and might hap- pen to us. They do it just LO scare us. but they don't scare me. I can take care of myself. How are we ever going to learn to take care of ourselves if we can- not go anywhere without tagging along at their tails?"

It wasn't father and mother who were foolish; it was Little Mr. Too- Smart who was foolish. It is al- speak; that it was pure luck. It had been a young Mouse who had run right under his paws. It was the fright of the little Mouse, not his own skill as a hunter. that had given him his success. Since then he had not seen so much as the

tail of another Mouse.

Instead of going down on the,

Green Meadows as usual, this time Little Mr. Too-Smart went the other way. He went up in the Old Pasture. Now when he had ven- tured out on the Green Meadows he always could see a long way in all directions. especially when he raised himself a little on his hind feet to look over the tall grass. Up here, among the bushes of the Old Pasture, it was a very differ- cnt matter. On the Green Mea- dows ho could look back and see just how far from home he was. Up here in the Old Pasture he had gone only a very little way before bushcs hid his home. But this didn't bother him at all. Not at first. anyway.

There were many paths wind- ing in all directions among the bushes. crossing and re-crossing. Cows had made those paths. It was easy to follow a path, much eas- ier than trying to steal through the bushes on either side. His keen little nose told him that other folks used these paths some- times. It was exciting to steal soft- ly along, stopping every few steps to look and listen, and to wonder what might be around the next turn. He never went around a turn in a little path without first poking his sharp nose around just enough for him to get a look to see what might be there. Of course that was the right thing to do.

Perhaps had he been following a straight path. along which he could look back, he would have realized how far he was getting from home. But none of the paths in the Old Pasture are straight for more than a very short dis- tance. You see, in making them, the Cows had walked where walk- ing was the easiest. and this meant that-they wound about, first one way, then another. They wound around rocks, thick clumps. of bushes, and young trees. By the time he was tired enough to think about going home, Little Mr. Too- Smart had no idea. at all where home was, and he was much far- ther from it than he dreamed. Little Mr. Too-Smart was lost, but he didn't know it yet.
