Representative william P. Connery, jr,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,, declared in
an address last night at the annual
dinner of the sports section Of the
Womens City Club.
IAN acceptance Of the doctrines OF
religion, which would do away with the
greed of nations, coupled with the in
genuity of modern science. is the force
which can accomplish that which Moth

world has been able to accomplish. The
nation prepared with the latest devices

the assumption that the latter held

Mr.. Work did hold q Heart. the lead

PEELED to lead a Spade up to De-
made. Mr.. Wolfe therefore made
three-odd at No Trump. scoring
rame on the hand, 30 points. with
80 honor points for three Aces.
The Contract bidding Of the hand,
according to Mr.. WORK analysis.
would be: South, one NJ Trump;
West, pass: North, two Clubs: East,
pass: South. three No Trumps.
North's contract bid would be very
different from his pass in Auction
Bridge, because Of the fact that
Contract bid would be very different
from his pass in Auction Bridge, be-
cause of the fact that Contract
players want to reach a game-going
declaration if the combined hands
contain one. Thus. in Contract, a
strong Minor suit is shown over a
No Trump to indicate strength in
that s~uit-exactly the opposite Of
the Auction Bridge significance.
South needed only the information
given by North's bid to justify a
game-going bid in No Trump. The
play in the two games would be the
same.

Being a Report of Bidding and Play Over

No Trump becomes the contract. it
is better to pas and if possible de-
feat the contract, than 1t is TO old
a Minor which may steer the No
Trumper and his partner into a
Major suit that would work more
advantageously than the No Trump.
As a general rule, Mr.. Work said DO
not bid when sitting over a No
Trump unless with two tricks of
of game. A player is a bit to san
guine when he himself is strong and
has a No Trump aaginst him. Con-
seouently. at a love score the No
Trump should not be owe called
with less than eight tricks with a
Major suit, or nine tricks with a MI

Mr.. Whiteheard, North, also pass
ed. He held: Spades, z, 6, 5; Hearts,
8, z, 5; Diamonds, 6, 3; Clubs, A, Q,
7, 5, 2. To have bid two Clubs would
have shown a desire to reScue the
No Trump and have announced lack
Of help for it. While Nortn's hand
was very far from assuring a game
for his side at No Trump, still his
Club length and strength might be
Just what his partner needed. Fur
thermore, there was a much chance
for game at No Trumps as at Clubs.
as there are very few combined
hands which will make eleven tricks
with a Minor the trump, that will
fail to make nine tricks at No
Trump.
Mrs. Davis, East, also passed. Her
hand was: Spades, 10, 9. 4, 3; Hearts,
@. 10, 9. 6, 4; Diamonds, 4; Clubs,
