SPEECH BY HUGHES GIVES
HITCHCOCK LINE ON VIEWS
Regarded as Cean-Cut Statement on
Public Affairs

CHICAGO. June 6.-"The statement
speaks for itself; comment is unnecessary"
was the announcement made today by Frank
II. Hitchcock when asked regarding Justice
Hughes speech in Washington last night,
Hitchcock maintained the same air OF
calm certainty that he has adopted ever
since he started headquarters here for
Hughes
The Hughes speech was adjudged by his
own volunteer workers as the nearest to
clear-cut definition of where the former
Governor stands as 1t was possible for
Justice of the Supreme Court to make. 1t
was held by the Progressives to be entirely
too impalpabe of application to present
issues to give satisfactory idea on the
Justices views
The favorite sons viewed the flag speech
as merely a patriotic talk which very
properly ought not to be construed as
creed OF faith.
The Hughes opposition admitted the
speech gave Frank Hitchcock the Justices

USE OF THE DOUBLE
AT ROYAL AUCTION
Bids With Two Meanings
Made to Advantage in
Some Situations.
CHOICE FOR THE PARTNER
BY r. r. FOSTER.

Among the pecu.iarily modern uses OF
the double Is one which requires con.
siderable judgment in handling on the
par; OF both doub!er and partner. This
- the double with the double meaning
the one that shows tina: the player
thinks he can defeat the contract, but
at the same time would rather his part

bid.

innate that he would rather not he left
to try It?
Yet there are many situations In which
this kind Of double can be used to bet.

But the same principle OF bidding two

Here is an instructive situation OF thi.
character which came up in n recent

u dealt and bid "A club. A and Y both
passed. and II bid two spades. This il
the method adopted by some players to
show that they want to play the hand
at spades and nothing else. 1t is con-
sidered bad bidding when one Is not
afraid OF the other major suit or no
truinps. Overcalling a hand to prevent
the partner from taking you out is poor
policy when you would he very glad to
have him take you out with FIVE or six
small hearts II he has no spades. When
you bid two. he will leave you alone,
even IL he has not a spade in his hand.
z doubled the two spades. He is not
strong enough 10 set the spade contract.
neither does he want TO retreat to the
minor suit he bid at first. He wants
to force y TO trot cut his best suit, no
matter what 1t is. That Is one Of the
modern uses OF the double. and the
student should observe the number OF
hands in which It would I've useful,
When A passed. Y promptly bid two
nc runps. and l., IL hardly necessary 10
say that he went game by making four
clubs, " diamonds. two spades and a
heart.
The peculiar thing about this hand
Is that with precisely the same bidding
and the same double at another table. Y
supported the original club bid. instead
OF going to no trunps. n Il went game
in clubs.
The play on the club declaration was
rather interesting. and shows the i'm
portance CT getting nve odd and not
four when playing 4 minor suit. The
extra trick is worth more than 1870
points in a duplicate game.
A led the spade and 4 won the queen
with the ace, leading two rounds OF
trunps. which left \ with the queen.
Now the thing is to prevent A or Il
from making a heart trick as we'll as a
spade and the inevitable trump.

II he leads q spade Y will get a heart

he actually did do, dummy wins with
the ace and gives z another run with
the diamonds.
This allows u TO lead the ten of
spades, and again II does not matter
whether A trumps II or no'. Y will get
rid of that losing heart and still have
