In two years of its introduction.
AS explained in former articles,
your hand during the course Of play
generally automatically divides into
concealed" and exposed" hands.
Table of Scores
First will give the table of scores
for exposed combinations:
Three Of a kind of 2s, IS. As, SIS, 6s.

Three Of kind of Is or IS of the
same suit or of any Winds or Drag

Is or IS Of the same suits points.
Four Of a kind Of Is or 9s Of the
same suit or Of any Winds or Drag
ons-16 points.
A pair OF Dragons, or Of Players
own Wind points.
Concealed combinations those in
the concealed hand Of .three-of- Il kind,
Of four-of-a-kind, or of three or four
Dragons or Winds count just double
their exposed value. Thus, referring
back to the table Just given for ex-
posed combinations, you hud that
three-of -a-kind or As of a suit count
2. If concealed this would be doubled,
or l.
The last item in the table for ex.
posed combination is a pair OF Drag
ons, or of Players own Wind-2
points. Such pairs score also when
concealed, this being the only excep-
ton to the rule that concealed com
binations score twice as much as ex-
posed combinations.
Combinations
From the above you VIII notice that
combinations must always be Of the
same suit, of the same color Of Drag

to a Red Dragon. White Dragon

Also notice that a single tile never

IN INDIANA
Senator Jim Wants to Make
Race for President in
HooSier Primary.
Times Washington Bureau,
1922 New York Ave.

EV7 ASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The
w Indiana Republican president
- ial situation began to take
some shape today.
President Coolidge and his political
advisers directed their attention to
the State and the presidential pr1ma-
ries.
Joseph B. Healing, national com
mitteeman, was in conference with
Coolidge Sunday and stayed for lunch.
He said the discussion was entirely
along political lines. Healing, it is
understood believes Senator Jim"
Watson should make the race for
President in Indiana as q friend Of the
President and that there should be an
understanding that in the event Wat
son developed no strength in the Re-
publican convention the Indiana forces
should then go to Coolidge.
Watson for Watson
Watson wants TO make the race for
Watson. He wants a give-and.take
agreement as follows:
First, the entire Republican organ
ization in the State will support his
candidacy with the distinct under.
standing Watson is in earnest about
making a fight for the nomination.
Second. the Indiana delegation, If
Watson wins, shall be for Watson I'M
til all hope Of his nomination ends. and
then Watson shall direct the delega-
the delegations choice.
Third, that in the event Watson
cannot be nominated the President
shall get the Indiana delegation az
second choice.
The President and his political ad.
visers will have to make a choice then
between the proposal from Watson
and his colleagues and the recommen-
dalton Of Postmaster General New.
that Coolidge be a candidate in the
primaries. New favors Coolidge going
in and making the announcement at
this time. regardless Of what Watson
does.
Gaining Upper Hand
Watson. through this policy, is gain.
ing an upper hand ~ New and his
friends. II his threat keeps Coolidge
out Of the State and forces an agree
ment on Watson being the regular
Republican candidate, Watson will be
in position 10 be the dormant State

sitlon also 10 make bargains and de-

background
New made II plain some months ago
he intended 10 fight 10 reorganize the

make the fight to get control and to
eliminate the domination OF Watson.
The proposals Watson is making
would handicap News efforts.
