Truth About Rabies

Rabies can be transmitted only by
animals that are actually diseased at
the time. There is no foundation for
the belief that persons bitten by dog
which subsequently becomes rabid
may contract the malady.

business Doubles

(Copyrignt, py hoyie' SFJ
Article Fifteen.
Business Doubles
WHEN the bidding has gone to
wv three or four business double
for the sake of winning penalties
should be considered. OF course, one
expects to win when one doubles, but
the possibility of losing always should
be thought of and the amount to be
gained il the double wins should be
compared with that which will be lost
by doubling if the declarer wins.
For instance, suppose three heart
bid is doubled. If the double wins by
one trick the gain is 80 points; but
if the declarer just makes his contract
he gains (and doubler loses by dou-
bling) s for each trick, or "a; 125
for game, and so for fulfilling his con-
tract-a total of 1919. This means
odds of to 1 against the double
which would not be considered very
good bet. Now, supposing the bid had
been four hearts, which would make
game if successful whether doubled or
not. The doubler by winning would
still gain so points; while the de-
clarer by winning would now gain
only 80 tricks and so for fulfilling his
contract, a total of S2-a much more
nearly even bet for the doubler.
Doubling a declaration that will
produce game without being doubled
is called a free double; and one which
makes a game possible we shall call
"costly double" because it should have
a name and none has appeared in any
Auction literature up to the present
time. Much more caution should be
used in making costly double than
in making a free double.
In doubling a no trump an unes-
tablished long suit should not be
counted upon for more than one or
two tricks unless the hand contains
a sure re-entry card. In doubling a
suit declaration a long suit should
not be counted upon for more than
one trick even if it is headed by the
three top honors, because the second
round is almost sure to be trumpet.
When the bidding has gone as high
as five many players say, swell, I will
double on general principles" This
is very poor policy because when a
bid of five is made it usually means
very abnormal distribution and the
successful bidder is very apt to be
void of the suit which the doubler has
in strength.
To illustrate: Suppose A is bidding
hearts against B in spades, and that
B bids five spades. A holds A, K, @,
x, K, of hearts, A, x, of spades, X.
Q, Of diamonds and K of clubs. He
thinks he is sure of his two aces and
one trick in diamonds; so he doubles.
Suppose B holds K, @, ], K, K, x, K Of
spades, no hearts, and the A, K, Of
diamonds, and between his hand and
his dummy all of the high clubs upon
which he can discard his small dia-
monds. He could easily make small
slam and would win 154 extra points
Secause A doubled.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-03-16
Bidding to the Score

Every player should know the state
Of the score-whether the game being
played is the first, second or third Of
the rubber-because when the oppo-
nents will win the rubber by getting
the game it often pays to overbid a
hand by one or two tricks. This may
induce the opponents to bid so high
that they may be set, or you may find
a favorable distribution and win. How
ever, even if you lose by one trick it
will be better than to allow the op-
ponents to win the rubber.
A difference should also be made in
the bidding when the score is not "love
all" 900. A side having as much as
II on a game should bid a good five
card minor suit in preference to no
trump with any unprotected suit be-
cause, as has been said, such suit
bid is safer than no trump and with
a partial score of II or more three
odd in a minor would produce game.
After one side has been doubled for
business the matter of getting out fire.
quently causes trouble. If a players
bid has been doubled and he has any
other bid, which would seem to be at
all safe to change to, that is good
thing to do. But to change to much
poorer suit frequently only adds to
the penalty which one must pay. 1t
is still more unsafe for player to try
to extract his partner from double.
This should not be done without some
real assurance that a safer bid is be-
ing made.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-03-16
Freak Hands

The rules so far given are intended
to apply to hands where comparative
ly normal distribution exists. For
freak hands, which are those having
abnormal distribution, no rules can
be laid down. Each one must be bid
by players best judgment. careful
ly considering the other bids which
also are doubtless made from freak
hands.

 Arctic experts spent the weekend discussing all possible contingencies concerning the Italia. In view of meteorological reports, Captain Riiser-Larsen said that the Italia probably had landed somewhere north Of spitzbergen and that it was not likely that the ship had been driven any further.
 Lieutenant Holm therefore has been given orders to fly from kings Bay northward, searching along the lce-eoyered coast Of North and East ern Spitzbergen. If this theory should prove correct, it is felt that there is good hope that the crew of the Italia can be rescued.
