- " three bid" writes Mrs. M.
H. J. Of Chicago. "but I
L didn't know any other way
to find out about the king
Of diamonds and the ace of spades.
You can see that If my partner holds
those two cards grand slam Is lay

"And 7 wish you'd emblazon your
new king-showing treatment Of the
three bid on the walls Of all the bridge
clubs" continues our correspondent.
MY partner said he could play the
Sims system, 80 thought he knew
about that convention. At any rate,
I opened my hand with three clubs,
and my partner bid three spades. Now
I bid four diamonds, asking for the
king Of diamonds-right2 My partner
denied the king of diamonds, but
showed me the ace Of hearts by bid
ding four hearts. But I have q very
dogged nature. I was still unwilling
to give up the grand slam. So de-
cided II my partner held either the
king Of spades or the king Of hearts,
I could get rid Of my two small dia-
monds on his ace and king and there
would be finesse for the grand slam.
We weren't vulnerable, so why
shouldn't take the chance? I've al
ready apologized for destroying the
accuracy Of your three bid. Five hearts
was my next bid, asking for the king
of hearts, and also inviting q five-
spade bid to show the king of spades.
I realized, Of course, that was push
ing the hand to seven clubs. II my
partner had the king Of hearts and
bid six in that suit.
well, what do you think my part
ner bid? Seven heartsl I nearly
tainted. One Of the opponents sud-
denly came to life, and doubled.
There was only one thing for me to
do-bid seven no trumps, which was
doubled, and my partner redoubled.
Believe me, gave him q few dirty
looks-until he laid down his hand.
Hesats. Ss:ass. 4 J11x oa%o1d;; 6iabs. 4 x 10
II simply spread the hand, with q
dreamy expression-and took the re-
doubled grand slam. But I took q
great deal Of trouble to explain the
king-showing bid to my partner right
after the hand"
To A. D. Of New York City:
You were wrong. You should al
ways take your partner back to his
first-named suit, holding the same
number Of cards in both suits. How
ever, he should not have forced on
the hand. A two-heart bid Is just as
constructive, as you must bid again,

another title-winning team will be

group of youngsters.

Heekin was grid captain at the
Prep in 1880.
Both youngsters were selected

We Guess On March I About 70 Per Cent Of
And Mccarthy Says, Our March Picks Turn
When December Comes Out To Be Right.
By BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-On
April Ia most appropriate
date-of each year this bu-
reau attempts to call the turn
on the major sports events of
the next eight months. Last
spring when we published our
annual April fool predictions"
q certain Mr.. Mccarthy, turf
expert and radio announcer
extraordinary, rushed to his
typewriter and promptly quoted
us a set Of odds against our
selections for 1884.
Mr.. McCarthy's prices against
our feed-box tips were liberal,
ranging anywhere from 2 to l
to 20 to /. So, optimist that
we are, we snatched up the
gauntlet he had so braShly
tossed in our direction. In
short, we made him a mind
bet of $4,000 on each of our
published predictions.
But when along about mid.
October, it became apparent
that he was going to owe us
approximately $10.00O,00O we
generously agreed to settle for
one dollar cash and the first
dinner to be served at the
New Stork Club, opening soon,
and, old or new, our favorite
rendezvous.
If any sports writer could call
every event perfectly, it wouldn't
be.
His Predictions
So the next time you hear
somebody say "those sports are
always wrong" you might show
him this reprinted verbatim on
December Z from the New York
Journal of March 81. I unblush-
lngly predict:
That the Yankees will win
the American League pennant
and the st. Louis Cardinals
the National League flag $50
per cent correct);
That a horse by the name of
Sir Thomas will win the Ken
lucky Derby (wrong);
That Max Baer will knock
out Primo Camera to become
the heavyweight champion of
the world (right);
That Jimmy McLarnin will
knock out Barney Ross. (They
split in two fights, but there
were no knockouts. WrongO
That before the year is over
Make Rosenbloom will be
dethroned as light-heavyweight
champion. Right.)
That two managers now lead
Ing major league teams will not
finish the year at the helm.
(Right.)
That boxing will experience a
revival all over the country.
(Wen, yes and no.
That the proposed relief to
morse racing IN New York Will
not prove any such boon as
many seem to think Il do not
believe the racing situation in
this state ever will be settled
until we have mutuels, or bet
ter still, totes. (Racing i'm.
