THURSDAY. FEB. 2.lh. Ifl-M PAGE TWO TIM: NEWS-JOURNAL. R A F.FORD, N. C. New Laws On Contract Bridge Effective April 1st Tlic new sot of contract bridge laws prepared by the Laws Commit tee of the WTiist Club of New York,; and the ltvvi Commission of the American Contract Bridge will go into WIect April 1st. ! There .ire very few new things, however, to learn to bring the , player rght up to the minute. Since the war itself, has increased the i need for home recreation and has increased the intereest in contract i bridge the law makers decided to re lease the ww laws at this time. Th, mon. important are given here: New (tonus For Making Doubled Contract The -Jilo Ui.it makes a double or redo-.iblud contract may now add a SO-pont timus to its honor score. This bonus u always 50 points, whether doutolej or reduotoled and whether vulnerable or not. The laws in use prior to 10.15 included a similar bonus. It has been restored to the scor im Ulile to provide a move equit able bfllnuce bteween the penalties assessed when a doubed contract is defeated aui tha extra points gain ed by tli contractors if the doubled contract is made. The wrd "contractors" is another newcoiiur t. the laws. It is the new official na'iu' for the declarer and his putrer, hitherto called the "de . clarcr's s dc. It will be remem bered th 't the 1935 laws attempted to remnv? til? opprobium of the term "dummy" by suggest ng that he becjilH "declarer's partner." Everybody went right on calling him the "dummy," however, and the term was appropriate because he not only FAILED TO CONTACT HER DEAD HUSBAND'S GHOST An uuuitul article revealing how a, prominent woman tried for sixteen I years to contact her dead husband's spirit, but was finally convinced that i the feat was impossible.

I!e ntay cull attention to any breach if law by any player. inohu'.i'in a possible revoke by his opponents. If lie has looked at another player's hand, however, lie loses all rights. And he cannot warn declarer against leading out of wrong hand. Lead Out of Turn Next to the revoke, this is tin? of fense that occurs most often n bridge games. Under the old laws, if a defender led out of turn, declarer could call a lead" from the other de fender. Now he may "require or forbid the lead of a special suit." This means that, if a defender leads out of turn, declarer still may say to the other defender, "Please lead a spade." But also he may say, the defender may lead any of the "Please do not lead a spade." Then other suits. Among other advan tages of this change is that the de clarer never need put himself into a position where he would like to kick himself around the block for hav ing called the one lead that would defeat him. If a player now makes an insuf ficient bid for example, bids "one l mond" over "one rreitrt" the next player may choose to "con done" it. Then the bid of one dia mond stands w.thout penalty, and the opponent may, if he (wishes, bid "one heart" over it, even though this is the second tim? one heart has been bid. "Only On Authorized ". Opponent."! Under the new tflde, when any law of the game is broken, only the player at the left of the offender will j have 'he right to demand a penalty or to condone the offense. The oth er other opponent's sole privilege is to ask his partner he knows his j rights and explains those rights if requested to do so. Correction of Krrors in Scoring. For the first time the 1943 laws make clear when and what may be done to correct a mistake n the score. A m stake in entering the score may be corrected at any time before the rubber score has been totaled and agreed upon. After that, the score stands no matter how wrong it is, with the sole exception that an error in addition or substruction may be eorrected at anytime before the game is over. Inspecting Quitted Tricks The new code repeals the old un popular "blue" law that said you had to pay your opponents 50 points if you looked back at a trick that had been turned. This law was al ways unpopular and practically never was enforced. Now you may look back at last trick, whether turned or not. until you and your partner lead or play the next trick. After that you may do so only with opponent's permission.
