 It is not always difficult to bid for game or slam when your hand and partners hold ali of tine high sit back md allow the two part ners to bid back and forth nnin- terrupted.
 But e serious problem. always confronting the beginners at con- tract, is ---hat to do when a oppo- nent either opens the bidding or interposes with a bid. Let us first take up what to do when the bid- ding Is opened by an opponent.
 Our first weapon Is the informa- tory double, which is the doubling of an opponents bid, partner not having made a bid. To make an informatory double over an origin al bid, the sdoubler not having pre- viously passed, should show a hand that has hopes of going game with about one and one-half high card tricks in partners hard.
 There are several variations of the informatory double. but the first and most important Is the one made with q hand containing about SM high card tricks. In addition. 1t may contain Q strong biddable suit--the reason that q simple over call Is not made then holding such suit is because it would not com vey to partner the great strength ofsthe hand.
 Many experienced players win make an infofmatory double on a hand containing g. strong card suit and fair card suit--one headed by A 10 or K J.
 However, until a fair amount of experience has been gained at con-

Champion Forty-FiDe
 Players WiH Meet

A "45" toArnament which will attract teams from all parts of the city and excite the greatest rivalry in years among many of Water bury's best known teams will be staged tomorrow evening in the Lyceum of St Patrick's parish. The big event which has been planned for the past wo weeks will be held under the auspices of St Patrick's Holy Name society. Several teams representing the various Holy Name societies of Waterbury will return the visitS made to other card parties by the popular teams from over the bridge.
 To make the affair real, so- ciable and hospitable event tho women of the parish will assist the Holy Name society and serve a lunch following the playing and the distribution of the prizes. A special committee consisting of Thomas Fitzmaurice, William Dwyer and Mago Sheehan will have charge of making the awards, which, of course, will add consid- erable interest to the event.
 While "45" will be the principal attraction for the various teams the committee has also announced the bridge and whist will also be played and special prizes presented to the winners. The party has many attractive features for every- one and a record attendance is anticipated.
 Some of the veteran "45" players who have notified the committee of their intentions of being pres- ent are: John Cronan, John Phe- Ian, Tommy Lawlor,. Patrick Tul- ly, Tom Ready. Michael Goggins, William O'Donnell. Harry Ryan, John Dunphy, John Fitzmaurice, Dave Carmody, Tom Byrnes, Mi chael Lawlor. John Bowie, James Shanahan, Neil Griffin, Chris liar mon, Andrew Geary, J. Curtin, Tom Bane, Jim Carr and others.
 Of course it is not possible to make selections in a case of this kind without causing a little. 1eal-

tract, 1t will not pay to use this | type of informatory double, espe- cially if your hand contains a singleton in the opponents suit, as | partner may make a penalty pass. When partner has not bid, a double of one no trump and a double of a suit bid of one or two is classed as an informatory double. A double of two no trump or three of a suit is generally re- garded as buisness double. A double of four is always a business, double.
 A double of minor suit shows strength in the majors. A double of a major generally shows strength ins the other major. There are times when. with q strong hand containing 3h or more high card tricks, after the oppon- ents have opened the bidding, the proper declaration is to pass rather than make an Ninformatory double This is employing strategy, or forcing, pass and is tactc em- pioyed only by experienced play CTS, and will be explained in a later article.
 With a hand holding IF high card tricks or better, partner should @make a jump response. If the original bidder bid one heart, the next player doubles, the next hand passes, and partner now has a biddable spade suit and 1h high card tricks. his proper response would be two spades to give im- media.ely the information that his hand does contain a good biddable suit an dthat there Is game in the hand.
 A simple suit response of one spade would simply be answering the double and would show that his hand contained four cards in that suit. but gives no other strength indication.
 The weakest response made to the informatory double is a bid of one no trump.

long time, however, there was a clear
distinction between those who baked
white bread and those who baked
brown, which was held to be inferior.
When London baker in the old days
made faulty loaf he ran the risk of
having 1t tied round his neck while he
was drawn in cart through the most
1requented streets Of the city. II he

his oven pulled down and was pro-
