CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
High Score On Freak Bid Woman Takes Chances On Her
 Weak Four Card Suit And Finds Good Support To Make Game.
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

It was only few years ago, in the days of auction, when no sut was co:sidered biddable unless it was at least five cards in length. To-day, in contract bridge, foui : card suits play an important part and, occasionally, you are required to bid three-card suit.
 To-day's hand was played last summer in the women's pair event of the, national championship tournament of the American Bridge League. Miss Anna May Goldfarb of Brooklyn, who re- ceived top on the. board, was able to arrive at the four-spade con- tract because of her original bid of one spade. ,.
 Now. of course. it isn't custom ary to open four-card suits as weak as this. but Miss Goldfarb did not like opening the hand with a bid of one no trump, as her hand did not contain any tenace positions.
 Of course, after her original one spade bid. the bidding is normal.
 The Play
 Play of the hand was not diff cult, but simply required establish ing the thirteenth club for dia- mond discard.
 West opened the queen of hearts. which was won by declar- CT with the ace. The six of spades was led. West played the deuce, dcclnrer played the five spot from

WORK OF IMPROVING HIGH

UNDER DIRECTION OF CWA

Despite the heavy reductions
in the CWA work roll, about 70
men having been removed this
week, local officials renewed ac-
Invites on the high school grounds
today.
This project has caused as much
criticism of CWA work, said CWA
officials today, as all others COM
bined. This criticism was caused
by the failure to understand the
fact that the prime motive behind
the original work was the employ
ment of men the very first hour
possible without tools, equipment,
teams or trucks. The main object
was work. This was discontinued
when the present administrator
accepted the work and was held in
allegiance until sufficient provision
had been made for teams and
trucks.
Prof. F. M. Waters and P. F.
Patton, representing the school
authorities, the foreman, engineer
and CWA officials went over the
grounds this morning and came to
a decision as to what was desired,
and as result, large crew of
men will continue on the project
until it is placed in satisfactory
shape for frst-class athletic
field.
