Solutions to Problems
Problem 8.

PROBLEM 3.
sNinety-nine players out of a hundred
would probably consider it perfectly
safe to allow the opening lead to come
UP to the queen in the belief that the
leader opened from the king. Those OF
our Solvers who. committed this error
may enjoy such consolation as they
NAV from the fact that in actual play
they would have plenty of company
Upon reflection, however, they must
acknowledge that by not playing the
ace from dummy they can only win one
additional trick and that for this pros
pective gain they, jeopardize a game
which is otherwise absolutely secure
There are nine certain tricks in the
hand, to wit, six club, two spades and
one heart. Should the dealer finesse
the heart and find the king to his right
it is almost certain that diamonds Will
be led and the number of tricks to be
won by the opponents In that suit may
be seven and must be at least four. In
any event the dealer can not go game
on the hand. After winning the heart
trick the dealer should run off his
clubs, and by so doing may locate the
queen of spades, whereby he may win
additional tricks. but in no event
should he risk losing a sure game. The
rule should be invariable: Always
make sure of the game first; expert
ment afterward." In recent game in
Los Angeles the writer saw one lost
trick entail the loss of GIG points In
the actual play of the hand upon which
problem based the king of hearts was
held by pone, who proceeded to make
six diamonds. and on the next hand
the adversaries made a no trump
declaration at which they secured a
little slam with forty by honors. The
dealer therefore lost 1876 points he could
have made, thus making net loss OF
$50 points. Compare this with pos
sible gain of twelve and you must
agree that the finesse is unsound. This
article is prepared before sufficient time
has elapsed to give all solvers an OPP
portunity to forward solutions. Under
the circumstances the names of those
solving correctly will be published in
article IL.
Article 11-lnferences
This subject must prove interesting
to every player from the tyro to the
expert Some differences are so plain
that they are made unconsciously. even
by beginners, while the proper infer
ences to be drawn from declarations
and intricate situations often puzzle the
most experienced.
For instance, If hearts be trumps and
the leader open the king from king,
queen, jack in diamonds and there Is
only one diamond and two small hearts
In the dummy and the king holds the
trick it is evident that the leaders part
rler must hold the ace of diamonds, for
If the dealer held this card he would
take the king and trump the small dia-
mond with one of the small hearts.
On the other hand, if no trump be de-
clared and the leader open the king of
diamonds from king, queen, ten and
three small and dummp has no strength
in diamonds the fact that the king
wins the trick is by no means con-

CL0VERPORT WINS
DOUBLE HEADER
Took a Game From Sample and
One From BaIltOwn at The
West End Lot.
BLAINE AND HEMPHILL TWIRL

Cloverport took both games of a
double header at the local ball field Sun
day afternoon. The first game was
played with Sample and was a good
game of ball. Malcolm O'Brien played
a fine game at short for Sample and
Hemphill, who pitched for the locals
in the initial contest, won his own game.
Some of the fans are of the opinion that
Hemphill is a bad ball player, but if
some of the rooters were on the dia-
mond, they would play or try to play,
the same kind of game that Hemphill
does.
The second contest was played with
Balltown and was an easy victory for
the home team. Except for the play
ing of Balltown's first baseman the
game was so slow as to be entirely
featureless. Blaine was touched up
pretty lively, but was effective with meg
on bases.

her number of acquaintance, one who
loved honesty and right and eschewed

often worshipped.

GROWERS ARE
GIVEN NOTICE.
Three Associations JOigin State
ment..POOling Pledges
VA ...
TO Close.

"The Hartford Herald says "The
tobacco situation as to the prospect for
pooling with view to Joint and favor
able selling continues good. There is
no dissatisfaction of any kind, and the
three associations are acting in spirit
of friendly rivalry in the matter of Sc
curing pooling pledges. and after the
pledging is closed they will act in COM
ing prices aud selling the tobacco. This
will be a step in advance of anything
done in the past, and will prove graft
flying to all who reioice in law and or
der and system and the good name that
the Green river section of the State has
deservedly borne heretofore.
GAS a matter of notification to the
growers and also to further the prescott
cordial relations that exist among the
associations, the following statement is
made by officials of the three associa-
tons:
"The work of oanvassing will be con-
tinued by all associations until Satur-
day, September %. From September rs,
to the so of September, pledges will be
found in each county for the convenience
of those whom the canvassers have not
seen and for those who have not signed.
due notice will be given where
pledges can be found. On September
80. the pledges of all associations, will
positively close, and no one will be per-
mitted to sign after that date. While
each association is out to pledge all the
tobacco possible, each association will
push its own pledge. But when it comes
to the selling and delivering Of the to-
bacco, all associations will cooperate.
"We wish to drop word right here
to those who are undecided about pool
ing. The three associations are CO.
operating. We earnestly urge every
grower to pool, but the grower who does
not sign by September 80, may have
cause to regret it. Be wise, take hint,
pool your tobacco and run no risk of
getting left.
