MRS. BOWERS LOSES

Bowers, the young Portland mother,
failed yesterday to obtain possession of
her baby, Marion Bowers, four years
old, on a writ of habeas corpus. The
child is in the custody Of Mr. and Mrs.
Milt b. Grant Of this city who are
carrying on a legal battle to keep her.
Circuit Judge II. H. Belt who denied
the writ Of habeas corpus, held that the
iurisdictional fight between the juve-
nile court of Multnomah county and
the juvenile court OF Polk county over
the custody of the child did not have
anything to do with the case. He de-
clared that the home the child had
with lIr. and Mrs. Grant was a good
one and better than the mother could
provide, and that the best interests of
the child demanded that she be left in
the hands Of the Grants.

BAD BIDDING IN
ROYAL AUCTION
MOOted Point About Bad Play
Offers Interesting and I'm
usual Features.
ACTUAL CASES EXPLAINED

One frequently hears renewals Of the
discussion as to whether tina ND Or the
play 10 the more important at auction,
and the popular answer still seems to
be that bad bidding can lose moro in q
single deal than the worst possible play.
But this IL true only when we con-
slider extremes and reckon only the face
value Of the tricks. 1t Is easily possible
to overbid a hand TO such an extent as
to be doubled and set for 500 or 500. but
Il Is practically impossible to drop more
than i've OF six tricks. even at 10 each,
by bad play. A loss Of three or four
would be talked about for q week at
any good club.
The vital point about the play il when
one trick decides the winning or the
saving Of the game and rubber. In such
situations d single trick may make a
difference Of several hundred points In
the score.
Suppose the opponents have doubled.
The failure Of the contract by one trick
means the loss Of 100 points. Winning
that trick means double value for the
trick itself. 20 then 80 for a fufnlied
contract. and finally $50 for the rubber,
total $40, instead Of 100 lost difference,
420 points for q single trick. won or lost.
Comparing the two things. bidding and
play. IL Is evident that the place at
which the bad plays occur may make Q
great difference. Two or three bad plays
a; critical stages might cost 1000 or
more points In the course OF an evening.
II would take some pretty bad bidding to
equal this in two or three deals, but Of
course the argument always rests on
the fact that a bad bid costs SO for
every trick by which II fails. while bad
play IL supposed to cost only the nominal
value Of tho tricks. which range from
8 to 10.
The greatest losses from bad bidding.
however. are not from undertaking to
get more out Of the cards than they are
worth. but from lost opportunities to
get penalties when the other sid has
overbid its hands. 1t Is all very well to
say you made a perfectly sound bid
when you said two hearts, because you
made three-odd but you overlook the
fact that II you had said nothing and
let the other side play the hand at no
trumps you might have made 900. in
stead OF "a.
Here is a rather interesting example OF
q combination OF bad bidding and bad
play that came UP in a recent duplicate
game In New Jersey:

z dealt and bid no trump. and A

table z won the first trick with the ace

old mistake Of leading a queen to an

jack nine. In AS hand. In order to
dummy returned the diamond. and All
made all the rest Of. the tricks. setting
the no trumper for four tricks.
Now let us look at the difference I'm
the result when rs cards were handled
by an expert at another table. the origi-
nal bid and lead being the same: no
trumps by z and the king Of hearts
led by A.
z let the FIRST trick 60. nj won the
next with the ace. He then led the
deuce Of diamonds through As estab-
lished hearts. and when A played the
six. dummy put on the seven. just
enough to keep A out of the lead with
those hearts. Il chuck.ed when he won
the trick with the lone king.
The spade king was allowed to win.
The small spade that followed was won
by dummy's Jack. Il refused to cover
the return Of the spade nine from
dummy. 40 z let II hold. Upon this
trick A made the mistake. although a
natural one. Of discardinE a diamond.
This allowed dummy to lead the ace
of diamonds and then a small one, which
allowed z to make two more diamond
tricks n the fourth spade. but by the
time he had taken home those tricks.
A was down to the lone ace Of clubs
and two good hearts. but they were not
enough TO stop z from making his con-
tract.
Here Ii a hand in which good bidding
and a play are unfortunately mixed.
When a player has overbid himself. he
Ia usually forced TO do some good work
to get home. just as the golf player who
Is shy on his approaches usually leaves
himself q little too much to do on the
greens
