Excerpt from Auction Methods Up-to-Date Including the New Laws of 1920

As a result, partners today cooperate much more successfully than they did when the Laws of 1917 were adopted and Auction Declarations was published.

Excerpt from Auction Methods Up-to-Date Including the New Laws of 1920
During the third of a decade that has elapsed since the publication of "Auction Declarations" there has been comparatively little change in the ideas of expert players concerning the game.

The promulgation by The Whist Club of a 1920 Code, provides an appropriate opportunity to discuss the changes of the past few years. But little new has developed concerning the play since the publication of "Auction of To-day" (1913), but that book is now out of print.
