BASEBALL WAR IS LOOMING 0P AS X
 RESULT OF PROBE
Four Clubs Refusing to Join Plan for Uninterested
 Rule by Tribunal

Chicago, Oct. 19.--If action of eleven major league a;ub owners last night in going on record as favoring abrogation of the national agree ments, which governs professional league results in baseball war, the responsibility will rest with the five American league clubs which have not yet signified their intention to take part in the proposed reorgani- zation, President Johy Heydler of the National league said tonight in statement.
 X The eight National league clubs and the three American league clubs
 Chicago, New York and Boston did not declare war when they ad- vocated control of baseball by trib- unAl of thret men not financially in terested in the game, but were mak- ing declaration of principle to save the game, MT. Heydler said.
 The action was the culmination of careful apd dispassionate delib- eration of men of unquestioned sincerity and honesty or purpose and who are determined that in no other way can the revision of base ball government be accomplished and tho just demands of the American purpose be met.
 In Majority.
 ssThe men who have so pledged themselves constitute not only eleven sixteenths of Major league membership, but they represent more than three-fourths of the capital in vested in the sport. They have chart ed their course and have compacted to see it through at all hazards.
 sTheir's is declaration of prin- cipies- mot a declaration of war. Protective measures and ways and means, however, have bene provided for any eventuality.
 AIf it does mean war, then the reEponsibility for war must rest with those who deliberately chose to re- main aloof from the councils of their friends and business associates at thi6 time when the integrity of the game is at stake.
 ssSpeaking more personally. l do not understand why such men as Clarke Griffith, Connie Mack and Robert Quinn did not attend. They arc thinking men and baseball re- presents their life work"
 Probability if baseball war was freely discussed by base ball men here today, many of them called to testify before the grand jury in- yestigating the baseball scandal. While president B. B. Johnson of the American league refused to be Interviewed, friends of his declared an attempt was being made to oust him from the American league presi- denSy. Men who were not favorable to 3ohnson said his apparent opposl- fiol ito reorganization was simply al 4ba Club owners who sided against hiSi last winter.
 Soine baseball men professed tol see the solution of the problem in the meeting of minor league officials at Kansas City November g, saying tlfat whichever side the minors sided with would win, for the other side would be unable to obtain ball play ers and would be starved out"
 The eleven owners who attended vesterday,s conference, however, have signed an agreement that they will stick together and form twelve .lub league if the other five Ameri- Johnson do not join them Tn the " anization plans.

Potatuc tribes further down the
river to join his colony, which they
did.
Calamity has followed the settle
ment throughout most of its ex-
istence. In 1743 the Moravians
established a mission among its peo-
pie, and later induced many of them
to migrate to Pennsylvania. There
they sickened and died in numbers,
the remnant struggling back to the
Scaticook home, where they lived
on, neglected and poor.
They were too weak to take any
part in the French and Indian War,
and by 1852 had dwindled to eigh-
teen families. This diminution con-
tinued, until in 1886 there were but
seventy-one persons, in 1907 but
thirty-five, in 1849 only eight or ten
full-blooded Indians and twenty or
thirty mixed. in 1908 but one full
blood and fourteen mixed. To-day
there are but three Of any kind.

School for Card Players
POKER

POKER
Question: The third man from the
dealer, c, is talking to an onlooker
seated behind him, but draws out two
cards ready to discard. The dealer
asks him how many cards he wants
but gets no answer, and helps the next
man. Three men have been helped
when C turns around and demands
cards, just as the dealer is about to
help himself. He bets that as he had
his discard ready it showed he wanted
cards.-S. T. K.
Answer: Players must attend to the
game. If they talk to outsiders in
stead of watching their turn to draw
they must suffer the consequences.
c must play his original five cards or
drop out. 1t is too late to be helped
on the draw.
POKER GIN
Question: A lays down for nine, TO
which his opponent, B, can play three
cards, reducing his deadwood to moth
ing, with what he can lay down him
self. What does B score &C. M.
Answer: AS B is 8 points less than
A on the showdown, and gets 10 points
penalty for having less points than
the caller, he scores 10.

Question: The bidder gets the play
for $50 and melds 280. After taking
in 80 points he surrenders the rest
but it is then discovered that he has
= card too few and the widow card
too many. He insists that there is NO
penalty, as he cannot gain any ad-
vantage by having too few cards.
G. B.
Answer: If his opponents had their
right number of cards the bidders
hand is foul and he is set back $50.
He might gain an advantage by being
short in a suit that he could not have
trumped had he not discarded a card

The dinner was solemn, in spite of
the sallies Of Mile. Rirette, who
seemed to be in great good humor.
D'Albert hadn't the courage to spend
the evening. He took his leave five
minutes after they returned to the
salon. Mile. Rirette offered to ac-
company him to the gate. She put
on a raincoat and they walked to-
gether through the garden. They
were alone for the first time.
She leaned against him, lifted
her face toward his and said, with a
CLEAN Of triumph in her big eyes:
"Now you see that you had to
come where I wanted you to come.
How disobliging you are! Do you
think me so unattractive

trump. When dummy's cards are laid
down it is found that she holds all

aces were not held by the declarer.-
Mrs. A. S.
Answer: 1t does not matter who
holds the honors, whether the declarer,
her partner, or either of the adver-
saries; they count to the side Just the
same.
Question: No score, rubber game,

correct opening bid ?-J. D. G.
Answer: One club.
Question: The dealer passes on six
spades to the queen jack ten, three
hearts to the king, three clubs to the
jack, and small diamond. His part
ner bids diamond, holding seven to
simple honors, fourth hand bids a
heart. The dealer then bids the spades,
but his partner, holding nothing in
spades, goes to two diamonds, second
hand passing. The bidding goes to
four diamonds over the hearts, dealer
and second hand saying nothing. The
contract is doubled and set. We want
two matters settled. Is the dealers
spade bid correct, and was his part
ner justified in going on with the dia-
monds after the dealer had shown the
spades IS. B.
Answer: The dealers secondary
spade bid is correct, but after going
to two diamonds and being refused as
sistance, his partner should have
passed up the heart bid if he was not
strong enough to double it. The ma
ture Of the spade bid shows there is
no defense in that suit; no high cards.

England Revives
the Whipping Post

From The Tribune's Europecn Bureau
T<ROM now on, British Grim
n inals sentenced for crimes
which do not call for capital
punishment will have to face
the possibility Of being flogged as
we'll as imprisoned. In technical
language, they may get the "cat."
In the last six months or so there
have been a number of hysterical
newspaper outbursts regarding an
alleged "crime wave" in England.
These have led to revival of SEN
timent-it is impossible to say how
numerous are the supporters-in
favor Of sentencing convicted Grim
inals to a certain amount of fog
ging, in addition to the usual penal
ties Of fine and Imprisonment.
Sentenced to the Lash
The first case in point arose some
weeks ago, when two men were SEN
fenced for trying to rob a postoffice,
in the course of which attempt they
thoroughly terrified the two women
clerks on duty at the time. The
judge, at the trial, gave them five
years penal servitude, and, in addi-
ton, ordered that they receive twen-
ty strokes of the "cat."
The two men appealed from the

"%HE object Of the preceding
articles has been to illustrate
and explain some Of the
elementary principles Of man
aging the cards held by the
declarer and dummy, in order to
demonstrate the Importance Of getting
as many tricks as possible out Of tho
combined hands.
The knowledge Of how to get the
most out Of any hand lies at the foun-
dalton Of all good bidding. 1t is use
less to tell person that his hand is
worth bid of four hearts If he can
not play the cards we'll enough to
make four hearts; because when he
fails to fulfill his contract he will
blame the bid instead Of the play.
If person knows that certain COM
binations Of cards should be good for
q certain number Of tricks on the aver
age, sometimes q trick or two more,
sometimes trick or two less, he should
be willing to declare to make that num-
Der Of tricks. If he holds the cards
and will not bid on them, he cannot win
anything but penalties, if that. On
the other hand, if he bids what he
does not hold he must lose.
This brings US down to fundamentals
Without a knowledge Of what a hand
is worth, on the average, one cannot
bid understandingly. Without knowl-
edge Of how to play the cards one
cannot make the contract after making
! the bid. The first thing, therefore, is
to know what the cards arc worth, az
the bid precedes the play.

facts should be apparent: The first is
that the tricks are not all taken BY
aces and kings, because there are
only eight Of those cards in the pack
and there are thirteen tricks to Be
played for. The second is that all

instant contradictions; but let US look
at the facts. In the preceding articles
we have had nine hands, correctly

compared with the number held by
their opponents, and the number of

and shoulders covered with black
shawl. She seemed greatly aston
ished when d'Albert asked for the
Colonel. With a frightened glance
she turned and showed him the way.
A single gas jet Illuminated the
antechamber. D'Albert, relieving
himself of his wet coat, found his
reception little funereal. But he
was too excited to think much about
it. The girl opened another door
and he entered, his heart beating.
There was shrill exclamation. then
deep growl. D'Albert stopped
short, trembling as he had never

These hands were not selected with
view Of finding any such results as
this, because that is unnecessary. The
same average will hold of any collec-
ton Of hands, correctly played. The
significant point about it is this: In
the hands of declarer and dummy, for
ty-seven aces and kings won ninety
three tricks; 80 that forty-six of them
must have been with smaller cards
than aces Snd kings. In the hands
Of the opponents twenty-five aces and
kings yielded only twenty-four tricks,
so that they did not take any tricks
with the smaller cards; or, if they
did, they lost some of their aces and
kings.
It is such analyses and tabulaticns
as this, carried out through several
hundreds Of deals taken from actual
play in duplicate matches, that have
led me to believe that the following
truth contains the first principle of
sound bidding:
Aces and kings, in the hand Of the
declarer and dummy, are worth twice
as much as those in the hands Of their
opponents, if the hands are correctly
played, and the contract is based on
legitimate bidding.
Next week we shall see where this
leads US.
The solution Of last weeks problem.
No. 8, is for 2 to lead the trump, so
as to exhaust B. Then he leads the
club, which A covers and Y trumps.
| Y then proceeds to pull IS trump,
forcing a discard from B at the same
time; 2 discarding the suit B keeps.
