Gonquering Contract
.By P. HAL SIMS

contract which my partner could pass.
This bidding would make It definitely
known to the opening bidder that held
q five-card minor and two four card
major suits. would not let him play
the hand In three no trumps unless he
actually bid the club suit at some stage.
Feasible.
With only one major suit available,
you must be prepared for the contract
to reach five-odd in minor suit before
you assume the responsibility Of show
four-cArd suit instead Of proclatmtng
weakness by rebiddine the hrst suit.

a minor-suit game would appear a
good chance. The bidding might well
go: One no trump, two diamonds. two
no trumps, three spades, three no
At this point the opening bidder is
fully informed and should bid the game
in whichever suit he prefers. Not un-
less the opener bids hearts at some stage
Of the bidding should the responding
partner consent to the hand being
played In no trumps. Only when you
are sure that there u an eventual per-
feet fit somewhere in the rs cards
should you disregard the usual stan
dards and bid otherwise unbiddable
suits because Of exceptional advantages
elsewhere In the hand.
With plenty Of different rebids, you
can nearly always climb out of q pre-
lininary misfit and escape from the
consequences of q normally unsound or
misleading bid. The more diverse the
resources of hand. the greater your
justification for bidding 1t in an un-
usual manner.
Take care, however. that your versa
tility does not intrude into the slam
zone. Take chances In reaching out
for possible games; but be careful not to
read a succession Of different minimum
responses for q slam try. Do not mis-
take the process Of selecting trump
suit for slam encouragement. When
no forcing response has at any time
been given, slam signals begin only
after the suit fit has been ascertained.

The sheet Of dough should be lifted
during the rolling to prevent its stick

For pastry shell, the dough should
be pressed over the edges and cut of.
For double crust pie it should be al
lowed to extend over the edge. After
the filling is put In, the edge should be
moistened before the top crust Is put
over, and pressed to the lower crust
The edges may be trimmed with the
scissors and turned over, or bound with
an extra strip Of crust. In either case,
the edges should be pressed fat with

will roll easily, is three to one. After
the fat is cut in, the water is added.

IRVING AND MANLEy
OUT AS RING STARS
Losses to 0verIin, Raymond
Put D. C. Fighters Back
in PreIim Class.

1.-TWO more ambitious Washington
ringsters today were faced with
the prospect of beginning anew
the long, uphill fistic drives to-
ward feature bout and main-event
change.
Placed on top last night at Portner's
Arena in an old-fashioned card of
club" fighting, Henry Irving and Roy
Manley, local pugilists, absorbed sound
thumpings at the hands of flying fists
of Ken Overlin or Norfolk and Lew
Raymond of Baltimore in eight-round
scraps.
IRVING, knocked fiat for count OF
i nine in the second round by Over
lin, managed to last the route and, had
he chosen to throw more leather, might
have placed his Southern foe in serious
trouble toward the end. Overlin tired
badly, but Irving never appeared to re-
cover sufficiently from the second-round
blow on the jaw and consequently
fought warily.
Manley, victor by q 55-second kayo
over Ray Bowen, opened with rush
against the experienced Raymond, lead
ing Baltimore welterweight, but Ray
mond took all Manley had and dished
out aplenty on his own hook. Both de-
cisions were unanimous.
IN a third eight-round battle Billy
i Strickler decisively outpointed Wal
ter Kirkwood in rough, crude struggle.
There were no knockdowns. Kirkwood
substituted for Red Journee OF Norfolk,
who reported with severely cut eye.
The only kayo on the card was pro-
duced in the six-rounder, which found
Harry Hershey flattening Billy Essinger.
Chief Perry Knowles originally was
slated to oppose EsSinger, but the latter
tipped the scales at over 1875, while
Knowles weighed only 127. AS result
Knowles refused to go on. Hershey was
obtained and he held five-pound ad-
vantage over Essinger and good bit
Of reach He tagged Essinger on the
chin In the second round knocking the
local boy cold: Referee Charlie Short
dispensed with the formality of count
ing Essinger out, so hard did he strike

their name against both Central, to be
