nament players have used with considerable success the artificial convention known as the two-club bids. The spo..sors, of the official system deny the right of anyone to lay down hard and fast rules for individual players, consequently they recognized the two-club bid as a separate corollary of the official system. Substantially it allows the player to use an absolute two-de- mand bid, without shutting out .he normal two bid of suit.
 It is a flexible variation which any player of ordinary intelligence can learn in half an hour. It will cause no confusion because as an optional part of the official system, it can be used as an alternative if two players, as partners wish to use it. . .. Of course, when the two-club bid is used, the original bid of three is not forcing and is semi-pre- emptive bid as in other systems. Monday we will start into the official system in detail.

Gets Scrap
Heavy Title Battle Is Tenta-
lively Carded for
July 3.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 4.-The heavy
weight boxing situation remained a
merry-go-round today, with the
Max SchmeHng- Young Stribling
championship bout now tentatively
scheduled at Cleveland July 3. and
rival New York and Chicago pro-
moters seeking the services Of other
titular aspirants.
Paradoxically, the heavyweight
class has at least half a dozen con-
tenders who could be conceded an
even chance against Champion Max
SchmeIng, but promoters are hav-
ing great difficulty in arranging at
tractive bouts for the outdoor sea-
son, only two months away.
The misunderstanding bout
has been driven from pillar to post,
and with the New York milk fund,
original sponsors, withdrawn from
participation, the championship
contest remains in the uncertain
class. 1t probably will be staged by
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton of Illinois, and in Cleveland
but it does not appear likely to be
a big financial success.
Other heavyWeights available for
the outdoor season include Jack
Sharkey, Tommy Loughran, Primo
Camera, Vittori0 Campolo and
Walker Unfortunately, all
Of the cOntenders, with the possible
exception Of Loughran and Walker,
demand that they be allowed to
hand pick" their opponents, and
it is impossible to arrange an elm
ination series which would provide
a single survivor to meet the
SchmeIing- Stribling winner in Sep
TENDER to settle definitely the ques-
ton Of heavyweight superiority.

NEW YORK, April 4.-The 1890
81 winter golf season has ended
with Gene Sarazen, George Won
Elm and Johnny Golden dividing
the lions share of the gold award
ed as prize money during the five
months campaign.
1t was a season replete with un-
certainty, one which failed to pro-
duce an outstanding money win
ner. The prize money was more
evenly divided than in any season
in the past decade.
Sarazen's total earnings of So
230.50 topped the money winners.
Won Elm, who turned business man
golfer just before Bobby Jones an
nounced his retirement, won 1880.
Golden, mainstay of the Ryder cup
team, captured $1,000 for third place
among the high money winners
Z Both Won Elm and Golden reaped
most of their winters fortune in
the $4,000 Aqua Caliente open. It
is understood that they split first
and second place money aggregating
$13,500, although Golden defeated
Won Elm in the playoff.
Sarazen won most of his money
when he captured the $4,000 La
GORGE open. 1t netted him little
more than $4,000 and was one OF
the two major titles he won. The
other was the Florida West Coast
open that brought him $1,000.
Leo Diegel was the only other
golfer to annex two crowns. He won
the Oregon and San Francisco
opens in the fore part of the sea-
son, but was unable to finish high
up in the money after that. The
victories brought him $1,000.

north-south open at Pinehurst and

short, and Gilbert at third also
packs a heavy batting punch.
Since the leading hitters on the
team-O'DOul, Herman, Frederick
and BissOnette-al are lefthanded
batters, rival managers undoubtedly
will try and check them by using
southpaw pitching whenever posi-
bic. This strategy may not work,
however, for O'Doul never has been
bothered by portsiders and Freder-
lex and BiSsonette hit any and all
sorts of chucking. Herman disikes
lefthanders but fortunately for the
Robins, there are few capable south
paws in the league.
With Thompson on second, the
Robins are assured OF reliable
fielder and a fairly decent hitter.
Last year it was necessary for Man
ager Robinson to make frequent
and disturbing changes at second
base.
The Robins pitching staff is one
of quality and quantity. Dazzy
