provides a somewhat elaborate but very
delicate and precise technique for eE-
ploring these possibilities when the bid
ding has been-onc no trump. two no
trumps, four no trumps. When able to
accept this slam try. responder may
have a choice of responses, and l will
give you my idea of the procedure he
should follow with the several types
of holdings which are to be expected
on this bidding.
INFESTED Partnerships May Avoid Com
rlications at First.
At the same time these delicate
methods may prove complicated CT
puzzling to inexperienced players. and
would undoubtedly be difficult for a
new. untriod partnership to handle cor
rcctly. To tho@e wishing to handla this
situation il summary manner.
would say this: Let the responding
hand. over four no trumps, pass if H.
has less than two and a half primary
tricks. but having these valu let him
bid SIX no trumps and make no attempt
either to end up in a suit contract for
slam or to consider any question of
grand slam. Opening bidder cannot
have rebid otherwise he should bid
two no trumps originally. Logically
and automatically. therefore. the bid
Of six no trumps must close the bidding.
and you must hope that you are in the
best slam contract, having handled the
b!Cding correctly as regards its quanti-
tative aspect. though emitting the
qualitative factor. For players who
are students of the game and who wish
the best, not the simplest or easiest.
handling Of slam tries there are more
gradual processes of exquisite daintiness
and precision which I will discuss in
the next few articles.

knows about his partners hand. He
knows that it conta ins not less than
five primary tricks: but he also knows
that it contains less than six primary
tricks. The opener should originally
have bid two no trumps had he held
a fiye-and- -one-han to slX-trick no
trump-type hand with no weak spot.
That is to say. responding partner
really knows that the opening bidder
cannot have any further rebid IN his
hand unless his opening bid was an
underbid: an assumption which cannot
be taken into account. Consequently,
the responder is now called on to decide
the eventual contract by his next bid.
You will find that In order to provide
a play for six no trumps responder
must have
! Two and a Half Primary Tricks
in his hand. With less than this, he
must pass four no trumpS, though 1t
is true that there may be a flnesse for
small slam if he has only two primary
tricks plus some combinations with
Jacks or tens and the hands fit and
play well. Nevertheless the slam is an
unSound bid with less than two and a
half tricks Hidden tricks cannot be
developed without long suit to work
with; or rather, one may not rely on
hopes 10 develop any latent trick or in
corporate such possibility in ones
bidding.
/ Can Grand Slam Be Reached?
Under the new scoring schedule. the
rewards for grand slam are 50 high
that one should BID fol them if the
chances seem to be about even. When
dealing with ShCrt-suitcd hands the
playing resources are very limited. there
being TO recourse to a real or pseudo
squeeze. so I feel that one requires the
chances to be somewhat better than
even in terms of top cards. In order
TO feel out the grand-slam possibilities.
it is necessary for the responding hand
TO be very informative in his acceptance
of the slam try. so that the grand-slam
angle may be kept in view while the
small slam is being developed in the
securest possible manner. My system

 FIGHT THEIRO OWN

HOLLYWOOD, July "A. En- entity between Al Jolson, nanny song singer" and Walter Winchell, Hollywood's star columnist, flared into the open here when Jolson led a stiff right to Winchell's jaw. Friends separated the two before they had much of a chance to mess each other.
 Jolson, it is said, took exception to one of Wincell's scenarios, which he said followed his life in a man. ner that was not only derrogatory to himself but also to his wife, Miss Ruby Keeler.
 The incident occurred in the Hol- lyWood stadium.
 Riffling a stack of congratula- tory telegrams, Al "one-punch" Jol- son announced himself ready for a rematch today of his famous, fight with Walter Winchell. The Smacking right which the Nam my singer" planted on the colum- nist's head still resounded as the principals maintained armed peace.
 Describing himself as supposed to be something of a clown anyway" Winchell protested Jolson was too serious about the whole matter He said. there's no use to get indig- nant Jolson is a nice fellow except his shoes squeak"
 Why don't you shake hands with him." Winchell was asked. Winchell replied, Not for three days yet this publicity is priceless"

BALBO AND POST HAVE CONFABM
 NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, July 24. Two heroes of the air, Wiley Post and General Italo Balbo met Sunday af- ternoon to congratulate each other on the successful completion of their spectacular air journeys.
 The leader of the Italian air armada called at Posts hotel to bring the best wishes of his fly ing comrades to the Oklahoma pilot, who was refreshed from his gruel- ing flight by 10-hour sleep.
 Before he received General Bal bo, Post motored to Floyd Bennett Field to inspect his purple and white monopiane, "the Winnie Mae" of Oklahoma, in which he landed Saturday night from Edmonton on his world flight.
 Aviator Post said he was feeling fine considering the gruelling days he had spent on his flight. The temporary deafness caused by the roar of his planes motor had vir- tually disappeared.
 Post has no illusions about the longevity of his record of seven days, 18 hours and 49 minutes for the round the world hop. He thinks that someone will be sure to break it ill the not distant future. Post believes he can make the trip in five days if he has good weather.
 Post was feeling fine today after he had put several square meals under his belt, taken a cooling and soothing shower, and slept com- fortably for many hours.
 In speaking of his robot pilot Post said it helped him out quite a bit and the device is a big hit and he is all for it. He related how, in flying from Kharbarovsk to Nome and on into Alaska that it would have been almost impossible for him to fly without this. He said that when the weather got so thick that he was forced to fly low and then again to climb to get above it. that he would not have made it, without the robot. He set the TO- bot to climb steadily and that was all here was too it.
 New York is preparing a hero's reception for the Oklahoma avia- tor for Wednesday. Many notables have already called on he flier to congratulate him and give him their , best wishes
 Balbo and his air armada were to start for Italy this morning from the United States, where, for
 week, they have been showered with unbounded praise for their mass flight from Orbettello, Italy to this country.
