Spades A, K, Q, 9,

No score and A B a game in. Z dealt
and passed, A bid one club and Y bid
one heart. What should B bid with the
foregoing hand?
AUCTION BIDDING:
B should bid two diamonds. In this
hand, also, B has nothing to gain by a
shut-out bid. Both of the other suits
have been shown and the purpose of a
shut-out bid is to shut out information;
so, if the information has already been
given, what would B accomplish by a
shut-out bid? Such bid would only
inform the opponents that B had a
game hand in diamonds and incite
them to overbid to save game. Bid
such a hand by easy stages and the
results will be much more satisfactory.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
B should bid three diamonds, which
is a forcing bid and requires A to keep
the bidding open. If by any chance A
should bid spades, B should bid for a
grand slam. With any other bid by A,
B should bid a small slam in diamonds.
If A assists the diamonds, B should
bid a grand slam in diamonds.

Tor that reason does not justify a
shut-out bid of either hearts or clubs.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
Z should bid two clubs and on the
next bid show the heart suit. The
"two-bid" at Contract is a forcing bid,
so L is sure of another chance to bid.
The hand is a sure small slam if partner
can assist either clubs or hearts, and
this seems the best way to find out.
II partner fails to assist either suit, Z
should bid FIVE clubs.

Inc normal hand at Auction and
Contract is one that contains a suit of
not more than five cards in length.
Such hands occur about four-ffths of
the time and are called normal hands
because they are the usual hands, the
ones that occur four times as often as
the other types. Hands that contain
suits of more than five cards in length
are the unusual hands, the ones that
occur only one-6fth of the time. Hands
that contain a suit of six cards are not
particularly unusual but those that
contain a suit of seven or more cards
are the real freaks. Such hands occur
very seldom but their proper bidding
is both interesting and difficult. The
following problem hands are freaks"
but interesting, because all contain
most unusual features.

CONTRACT BIDDING:

A should bid two diamonds, a forcing
bid over the dealers club bid. His

unless he bids hearts, AS next bid
should be five diamonds. If the partner
bids hearts or assists diamonds, A

diamonds accordingly.

AUCTION BIDDING:
A should bid one diamond. If over
bid, he should continue bidding dia-
monds and not show the heart suit at
all: There is no advantage in a shut-out
bid of five diamonds. Z has already
shown his club suit and, if Y has a
spade bid, he is more apt to bid five
spades over a fve-diamond bid than
if A bids one diamond and then bids
up the hand gradually. 1t is not adj
visable to show the heart suit because
AS partner is more apt to assist hearts
than diamonds and AS heart suit is
not strong enough to trump clubs and
spades. One diamond, therefore, is AS
proper bid.

ON SHOOTING OF
COAST CANGSTER

LOS ANGELES, May 7. W.P-
Howard J. Abbey, alias Eddie
Hayes, held in the San Diego
county Jail pending appeal of his
conviction on an eXtortion charge,
was to be questioned today by Los
Angeles officers regarding the mur-
der of Marvin Hart, liquor rack
eteer
Abbey was convicted March "a
of having attempted to extort
$500 from James N. Crofton, presi-
dent OF the Aqua Caliente Jackey
club.
Ballistic experts of the Los An
geles police department declared
that bullets picked up at the scene
of the Hart killing bore markings
similar to those fired by. police
from weapons found in the possess
sion of Abbey.
Hart was shot down in the drive
way of his home last December.
Shortly after the murder OF
Alfred Lingle, Chicago newspaper
man, Hart and several companions,
including frankie Foster, were ar
rested here for questioning. AT
that time Hart gave his occupa-
ton as a "brewmaSter," and in
vestigators said they had learned
definitely that the Chicago group
had planned to organize beer
racket here on large scale.
