Bridge Intimacies.

Josephine Culbertson, wife of Ely
Culbertson and a member Of the team
that met the Britishers In London last
month, keeps the keen edge Of her bridge
psychology In trim by devouring every
good detective story she can seize. The
subtler the better, so far as she is con-
cerned. Incidentally, it would not be
exaggeration, according to her friends, to
venture that she probably has the mys-
teries solved before she ever reaches the
last chapter and only gets through it to
see that the writer also has found the
correct solution.

To the DeUiI.

$50 this is Hades?-well at last I'm here
To pay for all the rotten things I did,
My ever-growing meanness year by year
In raising ructions after every bid.
But what the heck are all these tables for
And packs of cards all ready for the cut,
And players set and eager for the war?
This can't be Hades to a bridge-mad nut.
You say they sent me here because I sinned?
Just where do you get off to call this Heck?"
The devil wagged his fendish tail and grinned,
Because there are no aces in the deck"

Hog CholeraEp idemicFearrd

THE terrible effects Of the drought ON tarm
prosperity probably can never be estimated
accurately, because Of the far-reaching ramih-
cations Of the farming industry. For instance.
conditions caused by the drought are considered
likely to cause widespread outbreaks Of hog
cholera, an tncurable and highly contagious
disease Of the swine raising industry.
There Is but one preventative of this dread
scourge, and that Is immunization. Depleted
farm incomes have caused many farmers to let
the immunization work go. Poor crops and
undertaking, lack Of water and other complica~
tions have so weakened the vitality Of the hogs
that they win be readily victimized by the dis
ease During the drought period the daily SUM-
light killed of all exposed virus Of the disease

mediately to spades, and the game is
won. If he leads another heart, the
best thing after taking the trick is to lead
little diamond and let the opponents
win it, hoping they will shift to spades.
If they do not the only remaining
chance is to lead spades yourself at the
end of the hand and hope for the best.

1t is plain to declarer that he can
take four club tricks, two diamonds and
two hearts-eight tricks An extra trick
in any Of those suits is an impossibility.
His only chance for game therefore, Els to
get trick in spades. Hence, his every
effort should be to get spade trick
When the two offensive hands both
possess at least three cards of suit, one
hand containing the jack and the other
the queen, a trick is absolutely certain
If the opponents lead the suit, but by no
means certain If declarer leads 1t from
either hand. That is point that
should ever be remembered, not only In
no trump play but in the play of side
suits in trump contract. Do not lead
such suit, with jack in one hand and
queen IN the other, both Of them twice
guarded, If it is at all possible to get
opponents to lead it.
To take this case, suppose one OPP
ponent has the ace Of spades and the
other has the king. If declarer leads
from his own hand the first adversary
win play low, dummy's queen goes on the
trick and the right-hand foe takes it
with the king. Now the latter can lead
small spade, declarer plays the jack
and the left-hand opponent gets it with
the ace.
If, however, declarer waits for op-
ponents to lead the suit he cares not
which does the leading. If it is his
right-hand opponent declarer plays
small. If the next foe plays the ace or
king dummy puts on little card. Now
trick In the suit is sure thing, for
when the jack or queen Is wasted the
remaining one is good.
So with this hand declarer should
strive to make the adversaries lead a
spade. His best way to do this is to take
the first heart trick In his own hand
and return small heart, which the orig
inal leader probably win win. The lat.

business double. It is not
unusual to hear one of average ability
say: Never take out my doubles unless
you know they are informatory doubles"
To have that attitude is to lack a true
conception of the underlying principles
of all bidding.
Whenever you make any declaration
bid, pass double or redouble-your
partner must consider that you are Civ
ing information about your hand With
the benefit of that information you
study your own hand and calculate what
you deem is the best action on behalf
OF the side If your hand is such that
your side will be best served by letting
business double stay in-aS is usually
the case-then by all means pass. But
If your hand is one with which the side
probably will benefit more from your
bidding than your passing, then by all
means bid
Two striking instances of the latter
have just come to hand from interested
correspondents. Both were in auction
games. In the first South bid a club,
West spade, North two clubs, East two
hearts. South went to three clubs, West
and North passed and East called three
hearts, which South doubled. The ques-
ton now is what North should do, after
West passed, with this hand:
A@ vs54 >f2 AAJsesa
Most emphatically he should bid four
clubs. His hand is much better at clubs
than his single raise indicated, but is
much worse on the defense than his
partner has right to believe. It is
practically certain that no club tricks
can be taken by the defense; with so
many of the Is clubs located, the foe can
almost surely ruff the first round. And
North's hand is worthless in the other
suits. His pass Of the double would be
considered almost bridge treason among
good players.
The other case, involving one of the
freakiest hands seen in many a day, is
reported by Buell. w. Hudson, prominent
as newspaper publisher and advertis-
ing man in Woonsocket, r. l. He sat
South in a game with other prominent
citizens, his partner being DR.. E. d.
Clarke; West, w. N. FoSs, and East, J. w.
Nichols. Here Is what caused the excite
ment:

AuchOn Problems.

The 2 of hearts having been led at
no trump, how would you plan the play
Of the following hands?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-12
Contract Systems.

In passing goulaSh how does the bid
ding differ from that Of a regular deal?
Each player, of course, knows what are
some of the cards his partner holds.
Thus it has become customary for the
first bidder of side to include in his
estimate of the sides strength those
cards which he passed to his partner
and to bid as if they were still in his
own hand. The partner in turn must
not raise or take out except on addi-
tional strength about which his mate
does not know. Otherwise both partners
will be bidding the same cards twice to
certain extent and will wind up with
higher bid than they should.
To make this clear, suppose that after
the passing has been completed your
hand is thus:
AAkQsS42 vAK1os7 "a d None
and you know your partner holds the
ace of diamonds, you may include that
card in your bid just as if you held it
instead of the deuce. When it comes his
turn to bid he should know you have in
cluded it and should raise only On
strength you do not know he possesses.
Another factor that should be cons
sidered is the likelihood that the OPP
ponents in their passing have built up
just as freakiSh distributions as you.
1t is probable that the six outstanding
spades are all in one hand. If this be
the hand at your left you can take only
four spade tricks, unless you manage to
use little trumps for ruf1ng the early
rounds Of suit on which your left
hand foe has to follow suit. Likewise,
your five hearts may be worth only two
tricks. Counting your spades worth only
four certain tricks, your hearts worth
two and your partners ace of diamonds
worth one, your bid may be based on
a count of seven tricks, or possibly
scaled up to a count of eight. In an
ordinary deal you would rate this hand
as probably worth IL tricks because Of
the likely normal distribution of hostile
cards, but nothing is normal in any
goulash, least OF all in a passing goulaSh.
How much high-card strength Is re-
quired for a minimum bid in a regular
goulash, and how many trumps do you
need to consider them normal support
for partners suit bid?
