Scott raised his partners diamonds,
counting his ace and king of clubs

Mr.. Leibenderfer said three dia-
monds. Mr.. Whitehead went three

and partly as a defensive measure.
He realized from Mr.. Liebenderfer's

had very strong cards and were like

Mr.. Work passed. In view of the
fact that his partner passed origi-
nally and that Mr. Whitehead opened

of a double with resulting heavy

of four diamonds.
Mr.. Whitehead made the conven-

him. He saw at once that If these
were divided 2-1 between the OPP

could play through them, he could
go game If all three were in Mr..

showed the high caliber of his game
by passing. Although he held six
spades to the K. @, J. there was
not another trick in his hand. Since
he did not have the two quick
tricks required for an original bid
by first or second hand, he passed,
intending to show his spades on the
next round of bidding. If there was
one.
Made No Promises
Had Mr.. Whitehead bid two
spades on the first round, he would
have told his partner. Mr.. Work,
that he held two quick tricks Of
which at least one was in the
spade suit, and Mr.. Work would
have counted on this strength in
bidding his own hand or perhaps
in doubling an opponent. Mr.
Whitehead was careful not to
promise his partner anything he
could not deliver.
Mr.. Scott also passed. Although
ne held more than two quick tricks
with his ace and king of clubs and
his guarded king Of diamonds, both
Of these suits were of three cards
only. and his other two suits were
worthless. Had his five-card heart
suit been headed by two honors, even
low ones. he would have bid.
Mr.. Work passed. An original bid
by third hand requires even greater
strength than for first or second
hand.
Question About Bidding
Mr.. Leibenderfer's cards were SO
strong that there was no question
about his bidding, even after three
passes. The length of his diamond
suit and the baroness of his major
aces decided him to bid diamonds in
preference to nO-trump at least until
after his partner was heard from.
Mr.. Whitehead then took the OPP.
portunity to bid his spades. Mr.

BOTTLED beer OBJECT
OF POLICE DRY SQUAD
Many Samples Reported
Seized During Tour
of City

A great drought has struck New
Britain, but it will not cause gen
eral suffering, it is believed, except
among that portion of the popula-
ton depending on bottled beer for a
thirst quencher.
Detective Sergeant Ellinger and
Policeman Stadler, comprising the
liquor squad Of the police depart
ment, shave visited practically every
store and hole-in- the wall reported
to have beer or alleged beer for sale
and were surprised at the number
of places whose reputation for hav-
ing the foamy liquid on hand was
not being justified. Some of the pro-
prletors even expressed surprise that
the officers expected to be able to
get a drink.
In other places visited, samples
were taken and chemical analysis
showed that whoever represented the
stuff as beer was a poor judge of
distance. Other samples were found
TO contain more than one-half of one
per cent alcohol, according to I'M
official report, and prosecutions
will probably be brought.
In police court tomorrow morning,
the cases of the proprietors of the
Boston Bottling Works will be con-
tinued because their counsel, Attor-
ney Thomas ]. Cabelus, is in Canada.
The case of the Haberl Bottling
Works will be tried tomorrow morn
ing.
