Rep. Smell Arrives
Representative Bert Smell, chief
orator of the day, reached the
platform promptly at II a. m.
He looked longingly at the gavel,
fingered it, and then apparently
decided there were not enough
delegates present to call to order.
Those powerful Kleig lights
we're turned on full force again,
and made the platform and the
press section an oven.
Repeated calls were sent out
for the Hamilton Glee, Club to
assemble on the stage. They had
difficulty rounding them up, and
while they waited for the singing,
the bands did their stuff.

PROFIT IN PASSING
By TOM O'NEIL

At times the word pass" is very
profitable in contract. Particularly
is this so when one has a hand
worth an original bid or almost so
and ones partener has made an in
formatory double of an original
bid by a vulnerable opponent.
Three honor tricks are ordinarily
necessary for a takeout double. Re-
alizing that, the doubler's partner
can readily decide from his own
hand whether a profitable penalty
is possible or whether a game con-
tract is better.
The strength pass, instead of a
bid of ones best suit in response to
a double by partner, often adds
greatly to ones score even when an
opponent has made a bid of only
one.
In illustration is a hand on which
Miss Marie Brady passed at the
Tower club, New York, and thereby
caused vulnerable opponents to be
penalized 1,400 points She and
partner could easily have won game
themselves, but the greatest count
possible would have been less than
the penalty imposed on the opposi-
ton. The hand:
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1932-05-26

North's opening bid of a no
trump was justified. Had east
overcalled with two spades east and
west would have reached a success
full game contract. But east doubl-
ed for a takeout. South passed.
Now Miss Brady reflected. Her
own holdings made her conclude
that if her partners double was
sound south had no strength at all.
She passed.
On a bid of one north and south
took only three tricks, the ace and
queen of diamonds and queen of
clubs, and were set four doubled
and vulnerable.
East, desiring the lead to come
UP to him, led a club in order to
look the dummy over and get rid
of the lead himself.
West took the first trick and i'm
mediately led her highest spade to-
ward the weakness in dummy. The
nine held the trick. Then the four
of spades put east in to make four
more spade tricks.
When spades were u out a lead
of another club put west in to lead
hearts thru north's king. The last
three tricks went to the declarer.
