The letter that accompanied this hand
gives the following details about the
bidding and play:
~ dealt and bid no-trump, A two
diamonds, which doubled 3 went
two hearts. which z doubled and A then
bid the spades, and 3 both passing.
2 doubled the two spades, and A was
still looking at his hand when B re-
marked that they could not los much
at spades. whereupon 2 demanded the
right to take back his double and go
three hearts, at which he made a little
slam"
There are a number OF tactical errors
In this. In the first place. rs original
bid should have been hearts; not no.
trumps, A has no chance whatever to
set a no-trumper, and II he Is going to
try II with the spade shift he might as

no-trumps. IL correct. but why B should
have felt called upon to bid the hearts

at sapdes. while quito true, as they

LIGHT TACKLE TUNA

j. w. Jump Of Los Angeles in

AVALON, Cal Sept. 27.--Jsfnes w.

worlds light tackle record for tuna,
capturing a Ash of 145h pounds and
winning the only diamond studded blue
button OF the Tuna Club.
The worlds record light tackle tuna
fought the angler for an hour and forty

the cruiser Ranger, Capt j. Markham.
This hsh OF Commodore Jump is the
first of its kind taken on light tackle
weighing over 100 pounds. and nat
urally is the first award of the diamond
studded blue button given by the Tuna
Club
Col @. II. Wheeler of Washington
held the light tackle tuna record for n
little over n month with his tuna of 0S
pounds. Lacking two pounds, Col.
Wheeler failed to win the most coveted
trophy that the Tuna Club offers.
At the time Commodore Jump got the

same school of fish. hooked another large
tuna, and both anglers fought their Ash
at tho same time. Unfortunately Bob"

the leader broke

congratulate the Commodore on his re-
parkable skill with the rod.
Commodore Jump was in st. Louis
when Col. Wheeler broke the Tuna
Clubs record with light tackle and as
soon as he returned to Avalon he 'po''ed
up Col Wheeler to congratulate him and
TO say in parting that he intended to
go after the new record. With what
success is now known.
Incidentally Commodore Jump holds
the record for light tackle with marlin
swordfish. previously held for four
years by J. A. Coke of Los Angeles.
for taking marlin swordfish of 175
pounds. During the season of 1917
Commodore Jump raised this record by
5 pounds and last year landed a marlin

harpooned an ocean sunfish Weighing a

By r. F. FOSTER.

TT ts generally supposed by good
playerE that the bid called tho
shift is out OF date and no longer
used. Judging from hands that are
continually being sent to THE SUN, this
is not true of players in general, as
examples of the shift often turn up.
Tho original idea of tho shift was
TO get an original no-trump bidder just
one trick beyond his depth. Suppose
the second hand held six solid diamonds.
That does not set the no-trumper, as
the declarer will probably be skinned
down to all winners by the time the
diamonds are run off. But IL the no.
trumper can be induced to advance the
bid to two. 1t will be set.
To bid the diamonds being foolish, as
1t would simply warn the no-trumper to
try something else. the shift bid was
invented to coax the advanced bid and
at the same time conceal the suit that
was to defeat II. The tr ok was to bid
some other suit, In which the declarer
or his partner surely had high cards,
such as two clubs, and which they would
not be afraid of.
The defence to the shift was for the
third hand never to go two no-trumps,
but to double. IL he had the named suit
stopped twice, Then, II the\orig nal no
trump player did not care to go back
to no-trumps, the shift came into play,
the second hand naming the suit he
really held, 80 as to pull himself out
of a double on a suit In which he held
nothing.
Some remarkable things happened
when the shift was a new thing. A
player at the Knlckerbocker tried It
once by bidding two clubs second hand,
but the third hand neither doubled nor
went two no-trumps. Fe bid two
hearts. and the nostrumper/ went two
spades, which looked as II they were
calling against each other.
The no-trumper being out Of It, the
player who had started with a shift
by bidding two clubs, when he actually
held the hearts, kept still, and the player
on his left went to three hearts. Now
the shift bidders partner innocently
enough thought II time he did something.
and he went to four clubs, which the
no-trump bidder doubled. that being his
suit.
The shifter redoubled, hoping to bluff
the heart bidder on his left into four
hearts, but 1t would not work. and the
shift cost 1,6l2 points, as all the tricks
that the declarer made were one trump
and a heart. Had he gone to four
hearts instead of redoubling he would
have been set for six tricks. Here Is
the distribution:

The other opponent redoubles, under the
impression that the bidders partner had
said five hearts," instead of Il pass"
What Is the penalty?
