RAYMOND WARNS UP

Speaking of Raymond recalls yarn I heard this spring. Bugs, then pitching for the Giants, was handed a ball by John McGraw and told to warm up in the bull- pen.
 He was cold sober when he left the bench but came back a half hour later with a silly look on his face and unquestionably under the influence of liquor. To McGraw's indignant demand for an explana- tion, Raymond revealed he had stepped outside the park, sold the baseball for around 75 cents and used the proceeds for refreshments at the nearest saloon.

Bridge is more popular than poker or blackjack. Golf in the morning is preferred to the gay life at night by an increasing number of athletes.
 Old-timers may regret the growth of all these so-called softening in fluences of modern times. They would like to see more swash- buckling spirit manifest, at least on the field.
 But the players now hardly can be blamed for reaching the con- clusion that too much rowdyiSm or eccentricity does not fatten the bankloll in the long run.
 Art Shires paid the penalty of being too colorful and is now more or less on probation while attempting a comeback. Dizzy Dean was allowed. to come back for another test with the Car dinals only by promising to be- have himself and obey orders.
 The days when a Rube Waddell CT Bugs Raymond could defy law and order, and get away with it right along, have disappeared.

ST. LOUIS REMOVES
MENACE OF RIVER
Stream Placed Under Ground,
Job Costing $11,000,000
and Taking Eight Years.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Eight years Of
labor on an unusual engineering project
and the expenditure Of $11 .000, 900 have
practically finished the gigantic task Of
putting the River Des Peres under
ground.
Through a huge 32-foot tube and
twin tubes 20 feet in diameter for part
Of the way, the stream which once
menaced life and property now flows
beneath the residential and industrial
sections of the city, unSeen-and un-
smelled.
For years much of the citys sewage
was carried down the l0-mile stretch
of the river despair" into the Missis-
sippi. When rainfall was heavy, the
usually sluggish stream frequently over
flowed its banks. damaging property
within a radius of several miles.
Work on the elimination of costly
and unpleasant habits Of the river was
commenced in 1924, following authori-
zation of bond issue by St. Louis
voters.
The project. an unusually big one to
carry out within the limits of large
city, required extensive equipment
among it a steam shovel used in con-
struction of the Panama Canal and de-
scribed as the largest in the world.
In the upper sections Of the project
the huge sewers were installed; numer-
GUS lagoons we're created where the
river crossed Forest Park; bridges were
built to carry streets above new flood
channels. and in the lower sections
open concrete lined storm channels
were constructed.
Engineers calculate the gigantic sewer
is capable Of handling a flood larger
than the biggest ever experienced in St.
Louis.

BIG DECLINE SHOWN
| IN BUILDING COSTS
Richmond Survey Reflects Drop of
Nearly 20 Per Cent From
Figures for 1925.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va, June Ire
suits Of a survey Of building costs In
Richmond, made by a committee Of the
Richmond Builders Exchange, and
published in Technical Topics, Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute publication,
showed there was a decrease in total
cost Of nearly 20 per cent from 1925
to 1882, and of nearly 40 per cent from
1920 to the first of this year.
On an index basis of 1925 costs at
100, the trend was reported IS follows
1920. 1894; 1921. 98.1; 1922, 99.2; 1923,
1927; 1924, 101.5; 1925, 100; 1926,

1880, 876. and 1881, 8l4.
AS basis for the study. the report
explained, a typical two-story brick
dwelling with basement, seven rooms
and bath with tiled floor, hardwood
floors, hot-water heat, was chosen for
comparison of costs.
The method pursued for estimating
prices, the report explained, was ex-
animation of records of older contract
ing and subcontracting firms for the
1O-year period, showing actual selling
prices Of the various units as applied
to the plan under study. Two or more
firms in each line of business made

Materials are very simple, but should
be well chosen for color. A few stones

By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League
 want to call your attention to two forcing bids not previously mentioned in this series
 1st. The showing of two suits a natural force. For example; the original bidder opens with one heart, partner responds with one spade. This is a one over one force. If the original bidder now bids two clubs, this is the showing of a second suit and is treated as natural force.
 You can appreciate that part ners, whose hands can show three suits, are in no danger in now en- deavoring to select the correct suit at which to play the hand while \ bidding Is still low. It is also easy to understand that the original bidder, as yet, has not had an op- portunity to. support his partners
 Taking the same example. the original bidder bids one heart, partner bids one .spade--now the original bidder, even though he has spade support, has a second suit and it is most important that this suit be shown.
 [: 1:
 Therefore this showing of a second suit must be treated as a force so that the original bidder may be given an opportunity to support the spade suit on the next round if he so desires.
 2d. Another forcing bid is the bidding of an opponents suit. For example, the original bidder opens with one heart, second hand bids two clubs and the partner of the original bidder now bids three clubs. This bid of three clubs is known as a cue bid and
 (a) Advises the original bidder that partners hand contains no losing clubs.
 (b) Shows normal support for the original bidders suit.
 Gel Is a slam invitation.
 Therefore, it should not be made with anything but an especially strong hand. It must have either great high card strength or a strong side suit.
 However, there is one time when the bidding of an opponents suit Is not treated as force, and this should not be confused with the above described cue bid.
 If the original bidder opens the
