Two prominent Cleveland, Ohio,
Bridge players and teachers, Mrs.
Charlotte Cotton Davis and MI.
Edward c. Wolfe, made up the table
with Mr.. Whitehead and MI. Work
for the seventeenth of this seasons
Radio Bridge Games, broadcast
Tuesday from Station KWWG.
The deal gave Mr.. Wolf, as South,
the Dealer. this unusual hand:
Spades A., Z, j; Hearts, A, e, 2;
Diamonds, j, 8, 7, 5, 2; Clubs, 8, 4.
Here was the rare combination OF
two defeseIess suits and two strong
suits, yet with neither of the lat
ter long enough to bid. Neither
could Mr.. Wolfe afford to pass, as
passing with such great strength
might result in passing out a deal
which would produce game. His
parner might have strength enough
to ensure game at No Trump, and
yet not have a bid in the Third
Hand position after a Dealers pass.
Had Mr.. Wolfe held q fourth Spade
or Heart the suit-bid would have
been much 5ounder than a No
Trump; but as it was he was justi-
fled in bidding No Trump on
what was practically a tvo-suiter,
with the third suit, Diamonds con-
tanning only a long distance stopper.

MIR. Work, West, opened his Ace of
Diamonds, thus calling for his part
ner's highest card of the suit, which
should enable him to place the out

East, happened to have the Jack, Mr..
Work was most anxious to have it
played ON the first trick. Aces are

length and strength in the suit to
want his partner to play the highest
card he may have of it, regardless Of
what that card may happen to be.

Declarer. played the 3 of Diamonds.
Mrs. Davis, East, played her only

South. played the s., a false card, to
conceal the position of the 2. Thus
he kept from Mr.. Work, for the
time being, the fact that he held five

Mr.. Work continued with the

of Hearts, the highest Heart that
she could safely spare. Mrs. Davis
hoped that Mr. Work would be able
to read the 6 as not being the low
est Heart she held: in which case he
would interpret it as a call for the
cad Of the Heart suit. To this tricl
Mr.. Wolfe played the 2 of Dia-

At this point Mr.. Work realized
that if he continued with Diamonds
he would set up the Jack in De-

game; whereas if Mr.. Work discon-
tinued leading Diamonds, he could

3 and 4 Of Spades; Mr.. Wolfee the

Work the 9 and 10 Of Diamonds.
Dummy then led the z Of Spades;
Mrs. Davis played the 9; Declarer
declined the finesse, playing the
King; Mr.. Work played the 2.
Declarer, South, then led his Jack
of Diamonds to put Mr.. Work in. on
the assumption that the latter held
no Heart to lead to his partner. If
MI. Work did hold a Heart, the lead
of it would stop game: but other
wise Mr.. Work would have to lead a

North's contract bid would be very
different from his pass in Auction

Contract bid would be cry 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

the Auction Bridge significance.
South needed only the information
given by North's bid to justify a

TERRITORIAL QUEEN
 SHOULD BE SELECTED

Carl Miller, Valdez and Alaska 100 percent booster, writes the Gateway asking that the atten- tion of Alaska Chamber of Com merce again be called to his sug- gestion of several months ago, that of selecting the most popular girl in the Territory; not a bath ing beauty contest, or anything of that nature. What he wants to see more of is Alaska publicity in the States and he is confident a popularity contest held through out the Territory would give it.
 The Queen of Commerce" was the name suggested by Mr. Mill Ter; however, this is a minor item at this time the main thing being for some organization to take ahold and start the ball rolling

on their first journey, two years ago, time did not permit them to see enough of it.
 From MT. Eddins observations he believes one of the finest and quickest means toward the Territorys progress would be the building of the International Highway. If this proposed road is constructed Mr. Eddins is confident not less than 10000 autos would make the tour the first season following it's com pletion. And this estimate, he remarked, would be a conserva- tive one.
 MT. Fddins is one of St. Louis most prominent of brokers, real estate, loans and insurance, and therefore is more or less con- cerned with people and that ap- pears to him to be Alaska's most important problem; lack of pop ulation. From what he has ob- served thus far he is of the opln- ion there is wonderful op- portunity for cattle ranches. In this connection he spoke of the Anchorage area.
 This year Mr. and Mrs. Ed dins-a most charming couple came into the Territory via Skagway, Whitehorse, Dawson and so on down the majestic Yukon then up the Tanana to Nenana, thence to Fairbanks Next We'd nesday they board an Admiral liner here and sail for Kodiak remaining in that area for week taking the following steam CT to Seattle
