justified by many players on account
of the outside strength. Others
started with no-trump, which is much
better, but the outcome was the same
in either case when the slthation was
handled by good players.
When u starts with a heart, A, OF
course. passes. TO double a one-trick
bid would indicSte weakness in hearts
Y denies the hearts by calling a
spade, which passes. Now, can
do either of two things-go to no
trumps, trusting his partner has
strong spades and has re-entry cards
to get in and make them, as can
lead them only once, or he can shift
and call his next best suit. diamonds

alone and z goes game. >. If he shifts
to the diamonds, it is z that goes to
no-trumps. and equally goes game.
Three hearts and a spade is all A
and B make.
At some tables, z starting with a
heart, did not like to go no-trumps
with no heart to lead, but thought he
had such good outside support for the
hearts he could leave it in. The result
was that u was set, with honorS scored
against him.
When q started with no-erump, in
tending the hearts for a secondary
bid, If necessary, took him out with
the spades If the take-our was two
spades, z denied the suit with three
hearts and Y went to no-rrumpS. If
the take-out was three spades, show
ing strength in the suit and also

safely return to -no-trumps If he is
weak in spades, q went to three no

were when u was left to play it at

ponents made club, trump and a

Many players dislike to bid as high
as three spades for a take-out, fear
ing the no-trumper may not be able
to make three odd if it iS-weak in

showing strength and weakness in the
take-out is usually worth it. Uncer-

will be due in Topeka about next
week. according TO s. d. Flora, state
raeteoroIogist- The average date for
the first measurable snow Is the first
part of November. he said
Topeka has had its freak SHOWS as
we'll as other freak weather. The
earliest snow on record occurred on
September 19, 1911, when a few flakes

occurred on October II. 1898 and
amounted to is inches. The heaviest
October snow ever measured in To-
peka amounted to IL inches. 1t fell
in 1905 on the twenty-third and
trenry-fourth days of that month
The question of when Topeka's first
snow will fall this year is based on
whether or not the snow can stage a
comeback. In the last two years snow
did not fall until December while in
the three years before it fell in Oc-
tober.
The dates of the first SHOWS IN To-
peka since 1917 are as follows: 1917,

There Is one part of the game of
auction that usually Is slowly learned,
and that is the Importance OF warning
the partner when you have reason to
believe that he is going 70 get hurt
Players very soon see the importance
of supporting the partner when they
have good cards and the usual ten
dency is to carry IT to the extreme OF
assisting him when they should not
do so.
It Is not at all uncommon to see q
player assist his partners heart bid,
for instance, Just because he has four
or five hearts himself. without stop
ping to consider what use they will
be for making tricks by trumping
1t is also quite common for a player
to assist his partners heart bid, just
because he has three or four sure
tricks in his hand, regardless of the
fact that he has only one or two
small hearts
The average declaration is made on
five-card suits and there are eight
what Culbertson calls ''remainders,"
distributed among the other players
If the partner has only one of these
one adversary or the other must have
at least four. 1t is therefore the
duty OF the partner to warn the de-
clarer that such is the case, and he
can do so only by calling some other
suit, If he has anything as good as
five cards, or even four to two or
three top honors.
This is called denying suits and it
is one of the most important parts
of the game when considered from
the standpoint of arriving at an I'M
derstanding between the partners as
to what will probably be the best
declaration for the combined hands
not for one hand alone.
The objection urged by the I'M
taught player is that it is too expen-
sive to go to two in a weak suit just
to show you are short in your part
rer's suit, and, further, that if he has
little or nothing in your suit he may
have to shift again, and the first
thing you know you are bidding three
or four.
This evil is largely imaginary. In
many cases the suit that denies the
partners suit may be the next best
suit in the hand of the first bidder.
There must be something that fits
both hands or the distribution is very
unusual. and unusual distributions will
beat any kind OF bidding. Here is a
good example of denying suits until
the declaration that fits both hands
is found. neither OF the opponents say
ing q word:
