While contract has gained rap idly in popularity. a lot of auction bridge still is played throughout the country. I feel that if every auction player would take up con tract and play three games of it, he would never return to auction.
 The trouble with auction bridge is that you may have a very wonderful partner - but you are the dealer, you bid a heart, and everybody passes. Your fine partner becomes the dummy. You make a grand slam. There is not much thrill in that you simply had all the cards.
 In contract, however, you and your partner would have had to show some real partnership bid- ding to arrive at that slam con- tract.
 The American Whist League. in it's recent All-American tourna- ment in Chicago, conducted an auction team -of-four event which was won by Sir Derrick J. Wern- her of Deal, N. J., past president of the American Bridge League. paired with Mrs Anne Rosenfield of Cleveland, and George Unger and Mrs Helene Scranton of New York. Today's is one of the hands played in this match.
 I have shown you how the hand
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-29

would probably be bid at contract. In the actual match, Mrs Roser- field was sitting in the South, and East bought the contract at hearts.
 The Play
 Mrs Rosenfeld cashed her ace and king of diamonds. Her part ner played the nine and then the eight of diamonds. Of course. East followed with the jack and queen, which accounted for all out standing diamonds.
 Mrs Rosenfeld next played the deuce of diamonds not the ten The six was played from dummy
 Lead of the deuce definitely asks Mrs Rosengeld's partner to trump the trick-and when your partner makes such a request. you should not trump it low. Ruff it with high card. as partner is probably trying to establish q trump trick.
 But when North ruffed with the ten of hearts, East was forced to over-ruff with the queen. and then East still had to lose two heart tricks. which held East and West to three odd.

AMERICAN AUTOGRAPH
COLLECTOR PUTS ONE
ON G. BERNARD SHAW
By United Press

By United Press
DETROIT, March 28.-George
Bernard Shaw, the English author
and wit, came out second in battle
of wits with an American autograph
hunter, Kenneth R. Macdonald, it
was revealed last night.
Mr.. Macdonald, strictly an anna
teur, rebelled at purchasing Mr..
Shaw's autograph at dollar per
letter, repeatedly the only way to
get it.
His polite request asking for an
autograph went without acknowl-
edgment.
Mr.. MacDonald'S annoyance
fathered a scheme. He informed
Mr.. Shaw by letter that he was Or
ganizing a company to sell digestion
pills. He assumed it would be all
right to use Mr.. Shaw'S name in
connection with the sale, Mr. Mac
Donald wrote, adding that unless
he received other instructions he
would do so.
Soon after Macdonald received
the "other instructions. A white
card, written in England, was de-
nvered to Mr.. Macdonald here.
IF you attempt to use my name
in the manner proposed shall GER
tainly take every legal step in my
power to restrain you," the card
read, in part.
Most important to MIR. MacDon-
aid, however, was the Scrawled
signature: Faithfully,
&c. BERNARD SHAW"

Grain WHISKY
BILL OFFERED
Van Mugs Measure Designed
to Increase Market for
Wheat.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March ga bill
to prohibit manufacture of whisky
from ingredients other than Amer
ican-grown grain was introduced in
congress yesterday by Senator Fred
erick Van Mugs (Dem., Ind0.
The bill also requires that only
American-grown grain De Used in
manufacture of neutral spirits that
go into blended or imitation whisky.
1t likewise requires that the labels
on gin state specifically whether the
gin was distilled from grain or from
some other basic ingredient, so that
purchasers might be able to indulge
whatever preference they might
have for grain spirits.
If the bill becomes law, according
to Senator Van Mugs, it will increase
consumption of American, grown
grain by about seven million bushels
annually.
Vast quantities of spirits distilled
from black-strap nolasses have
flooded the liquor market since re-
peal of the amendment, and the
Van Mugs bill is designed to
grain a competitive advantage over
molasses. Alcohol can be nanufac-
tured from molaSses at about half
the cost of grain alcohol.
A mass meeting to protest inva-
sion of molaSseS into distilled spirits
markets, which prior to prohibition
were reseryd for grain, was held last
month at Terre Haute.
Representatives of farm bureaus
in grain-growing states and spokes-
men for workers who lost their jobs
because of the closing of grain al
cohol plants attended the Terre
Haute meeting.
