What are the requirements for q
sound no-trump bid BY dealer1 Pract-
cally all of the authorities agree that
one no-trump may be bid by dealer if
he holds two or more sure tricks divided
among three suits. There isn't much
difference of opinion as to these require
ments but there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to how these require
ments should be applied. As an example
of the difficulty, a correspondent has
Just written for enlightenment as to the
meaning of two tricks divided among
three suits" In order to make this
phrase perfectly clear, an analysis OF
card valuation IS necessary.
The only cards sure Of taking tricks
are the four aces. A guarded king, s. e,
q king and one or more Of a suit, takes
a trick Just half the time, 90 IS clearly
worth one-half the value Of an ace. A
guarded queen, s. g., queen and two
or more of suit, will take trick about
half as often as king, 30 II worth one
quarter trick. There are four aces, four
kings and four queens. Each player
is entitled to one-fourth Of these cards,
or to one ace, one king, and one queen,
which is called an average hand. An
average hand, therefore, containing one
ace, one king, one queen, is valued at
one and three-quarter trio These
values are not enough to warrant a bid,
the least required being one queen more
than average, or two tricks. II these
values are divided among at least three
suits, a no-trump may be bid; If the
values are confined to one suit, the suit
may be bid. 1t should be noted that if
two honors are held In sequence, the
lower honor takes the value Of the high
er. Thus, an ace and king in one suit is
valued at two tricks; king, queen at
one trick; a queen, jack at one-half
trick. An ace, queen, jack combination,
and king, queen, jack combination
are each worth two sure tricks. Please
note that these values are all defensive
or so-called ''Sure tricks" that is, their
values as trick takers when the oppo-
nents are playing the hand. Their value
in support of their own or partners best
bid Is approximately double their sure

BATH A. C. WILL
SPONSOR BALL
CLUB THIS YEAR
Especial to the Kennebec JournaD

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Bath, April 1.-THE Bath A. G..
club of this city, which sponsored a
championship contending basketball
team Off the State of Maine title the
past winter will sponsor a baseball
club for the coming summer. Though
no extensive plans are being laid to
attain outside ability nevertheless
the shipping city is expected to sup
port a fast amateur club.
The team has organized and over
so Bath athletes have cast their lots
to try out for the Bath team. In the
meanwhile the officials are attempt
ing to book early games to have the
club fairly well seasoned by the time
the summer leagues open in earnest.
Bath will not boast fast enough club
to enter any of the leagues that
might get underway, but are open to
meet all independent teams and
would appreciate hearing from such.
Edward Hartnett, who managed the
basketball team representing the city
will have charge of the managing of
the club and all communications
should be directed to him. Especially
would the Bath outfit like to arrange
games with the various twilight
teams of the different cities.

Undergraduates
To Discuss Chances
New Gym at Colby

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Maine, April 1.-THE
first step toward securing a new
gymnasium at Colby will be taken
tomorrow evening when the entire
male undergraduate body will assem-
BILE in the present antique gymnas-
ium to evidence their interest in the
project. This rally has been initial
ed by the Student Council of the col
lege and will be conducted by under
graduates. Several members of the
Undergraduate body will speak brief
ly to the students and in addition to
these speeches alumni will also give
their views.
For several wears there has been
considerable agitation in favor of
modern gymnasium to replace the
present structure which is no longer
classed as a gymnasium but rather
as a curiosity. No definite campaign
has ever been started, however, and
thus progress has never been made
to a point where a new gymnasium
seemed possible. Former plans have
died Young but it is firmly believed
that a movement initiated by the
student body will create greater in
terest than any other and 1t is with
this thought in mind that the Stud
ent Council has made its plans. 1t
is expected that every member of the
undergraduate body will pledge as
much as possible toward a new
building and in this manner evidence
that they are behind the move with
, all they have. The old belief that
the best way to test q mans loyalty
Is to test his pocketbook will be given
trial. and upon its truth rests the
success of the present plan.
Colby is the only college in the
state which has not started some sort
of an athletic building and without
such a structure will soon be hope
lessly outclassed in athletics. During
the early Spring, baseball men,
weight men, tennis players, high
jumpers, and physical education
! classes have been confined to one
small room which is ridiculously
Inadequate t present the tennis
team has fed to a prep school gym
for their early work as they despair
of getting in condition in the Colby
gym Not only athletic teams but
also the regular classes in physical
education are greatly hindered in
their work and the adjustment of
such instruction until a new gym is
secured has been advocated by many.
Stephen B. Brry, chairman of the
Student Council has appointed
committee from that body to con-
duct plans for the rally.
