The only thing holding back the
awarding of the contract and the
start OF work on the new $4,000
school building to be erected on the
corner of Earl street and Grandview
avenue in Seabreeze is the fact that
the East Coast State bank, designated
as the depository for the funds accru-
ing from the sale of the school bonds.
is awaiting the arrival of it's surety
bond. Such bond must necessarily
be taken out before the money can
be deposited and it was necessary to
send to the headquarters of the sure
ty bond company to get surety bond
for $4,000 issued. Local agents are
not empowered to make out such
large bonds.
The draft for $53,O15.55 from Gun

took the contract for the sale of the
bonds. is now in the bank in DeLand

READING THE HANDS
AT ROYAL AUCTION
Big Swings at Duplicate Due to
Correct differences From
the Bids.
THE THREE SPADE CALL

One Of the important lessons that bridge
players are learning from the numerous
duplicate auction contests that are taking
place at the various clubs this season
might be called the Importance OF com
pensation. As the English Snowman eX-
pressed 1t. What you lose on the swings
you makes on the merry -go-rounds."
Translated in the vernacular OF auction
this means that II you are weak in the
suit YOU show YOU must lie able TO make
up for it by strength in the suits you
don't show. This principle has long been
recognized In the minor suits. but has
never been sufficiently insisted on IN
hearts and royals. although many inter-
csting examples OF correct differences
from 1t should have directed attention
more strongly to its value.
No good player will call a club or
diamond originally unless he holds two
sure tricks in the suit or one sure
trick In II and two probable tricks out
side. This is because such suits ar"
called 20 show whore tricks can be won
regardless of the final declaration. The
principle involved Is that II the suit
itself does not contain the tricks conven-
ton demands there should be compen-
sating tricks elsewhere, otherwise the bid
Is misleading.
I'll Is worthy OF note that these outside
tricks are usually In a major suit which
is too short 90 declare, because II they
were In a minor suit that suit would be
the one named in the bid. Give a player
one sure trick in clubs and two probable
in hearts or spades and he cannot call
the major suit because Il Is too short
But II the two tricks were in diamonds
the dealer would bid that suit and not
the clubs.
This frequently enables the partner to
Judge from his own holding where the
two probable tricks lie, or at least to
guess AT II with more or less success II
he knows that there are not two sure
tricks In the suit the dealer names. Here
Is a good example OF the situation which
came up at the Knickerbocker Whist club
last week:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-01-03

u dealt. According to strict convention
his hand Is no a royal bid on IN" tr,t
round, because he has not the tops but
Il has the compeusating strength i'm other
suits and can ruG diamonds. Those vino
started with three spades or one royal
were promptly overCaled with As hearts
A; one table they went to -four hearts
and Won he game. At another they were
pushed 10 five and failed by one trick only
against which they scored four h9nurs
Il must make spade and two aces
against the neart declaration, no matter
what leads.
\ careful player, holding rs cards can
see that the only possible declaration open
to the opponents Is in hearts, and he
should shut I, out at once by bidding
three royals, as he will be willing To go
that far If pushed to Il. This prevents
he gradual development Of the adverse
strength I'm hearts, as neither A nor y
has the nerve to start with "A bid Of four.
Another point Is that even II the hearts

encouraged TO support the royals. although
he has nothing but the queen OF trumps
and a badly guarded king and 1t is i'm
possible for him to run anything.

tricks In clubs therefore he must have
couple of tricks outside. They cannot
be IN spades, as \ has that suit. so they
must be in red suits, but whether both in
the same suit or not Y cannot tell
What can tell is that five club tricks

from showing his supporting suit, In case
he is strong enough TO do so, Y bids three

Now IL \ bids five diamonds he is
doubled and set for four or live hundred
points. As the bidding closes at three no
trumps. OF course y leads the spade and
wins the queen with the ace. The next
lead is a small club. putting Il in TO lead
three winning rounds forcing two dis
cards from A. The spade then comes
through to establish the Jack while
dummy still has a club to put y In with.
All that \ can make after this de-
velopment OF the situation IL three dia-
mond tricks 50 that goes game on the
hand. This result is due to two things.
first the confidence in the correctness OF
rs opening bid. and secondly the good
judgment IN bidding enough to shut out
AS show Of diamonds. II bids one no
trump over the one royal, \ bids two
diamonds and then Y cannot go game at
no trump. even If he bids II.
These shutout bids are OF peculiar adj
vantage in duplicate matches when
there Is any danger that the opponents
may overcall or shift, and why they
should not be more freely used in the
ordinary rubber is not clear. In the last
duplicate match at the Hn!ckerbocker
there were two deals that practically
settled the question OF top score. Those
who made the essential shutout bids
were the winners.
one OF these deals was No. IS. Here

bidding and Y led the king Of hearts
