Todav's Contract Problem
BY W. E. ATKENNEY


WE often find ourselves in a
w contract that looks impos-
sible to make. In other words, it
looks as though we must get too
many good breaks to win the hand.
However, a smart player never gives
up, even on this type of hand.
L. J. Haddad one of the out
standing players of Chicago, figured
that, to make tOday's hand, he had
to find the king of hearts and the
king of clubs in the East.
Therefore. he played the hand on
this assumption and made his con-
tract. He was careful, however, not
to take out his diamond entry be-
fore setting the clubs.
Vests opening lead was the five
of spades East won with the queen
and returned the deuce of spades.
1t was useless for West to lay off,
even though he had no other entry.
He went right up with the ace and
returned a small spade, which
dummy won with the king. East
dlScarding heart.

ace. He now led a small diamond
and played the ten from dummy,
East winning with the king.
East returned a heart and Mr.
Haddad finessed his queen, which
held the trick. He now played the
queen of clubs and then a small
club, which East was forced to win
with the ten.
1t was immaterial whether East
returned a heart or a diamond, as
Mr.. Haddad had the remainder of
the tricks.
When East covered the jack of
clubs with the king he practically
marked himself with the ten spot.
OF course, the play to the ten of
diamonds marked West with the
jack of diamonds.
If Mr. Haddad had attempted to
90 over to the diamonds and flnesSe
the club again, he would have been
blocked in the dummy, and would
not have been able to make the
small clubs.

Both were cut and bruised In the attacks, while one of them was robbed of $10 in cash, q paycheck and had pair of valuable eye glasses, which were recovered la ter, torn from his head.
 One assault took place near AZ Summer street, the victim being Peter Tallas of 94 Cherry street, who was visiting in the North End section.

irelnen, Policemen Await Santa Claus
A4lcipated Promotions May Be Delayed Until Father
 Time UsIlers in New Year-Interest Keen

With the last 1884 meetings of the police and fire boards sched- uled for Wednesday afternoon, it's no secret that many members of both departments fervently hope that the Christmas spirit will re- suit in definite action by the boards on vacancies in high ranks. the filling of which will mean advance ments all along the line. As far as the present "dope" goes. though, the boys are all going to find that the two boards will refuse to play Santa Claus at the meetings and no promotions will be made till after the first of the new year.
 From all indications, the fire de- partment chiefship will be the first major appointment made. Despite claims to the contrary, there is provision made for the chiefs sal- ary in the 1895 budget. Undoubt- edly the appointment will go to the present acting chief, Deputy Thomas G. Lynch. who would most probably retire shortly after get ting the coveted honor. Retire. ment of Deputy Lynch would then make possible and necessary pro motions all the way from chief down to lieutenant. The fire de- partment has many favored candiA dates for the past of chief after Deputy Lynch's retirement. with Capt Thomas Cavanaugh and Capt Martin Campion heading the field. Capt stephen Bloomfield Is also in the race.
 Police Changes
 Tn the police department, there is q deputy superintendency open, which from all indications will go either to Capt William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective bu- reau, or Capt Dan Carson, head of the emergency squad. Appointment of either of these two as deputy would mean the making of another a post likely to be given to the veteran Sergt John Brickel, who would also undoubtedly retire if given the promotion, thus paving the way for the naming of still an- other captain. perhaps Lieut. James Mulville or Lieut. John Dunphy.
 So until Wednesdays meetings, police and fire department circles will be abuz with rumors and re- ports. Even though the vacancies have existed for mouth, each meet ing time finds the policemen and firemen saying that this time the board is going to do something"

Failure of a bill introduced III the last session of the legislature by Representative John D. Thoms of this city prohibiting the remov- al of sand from Madison beaches for commercial purposes resulted over the weekend in the establish ment of a suit by the state of Connecticut against the Knowles Lombard company of Guilford. In the action the superior ourt is asked to issue permanent injunc- ti0n restraining the concern from removing sand or gravel from the Madison beach. Numerous leading residents of Waterbury own prop erty at Madison beach. Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr., of this city has been pushing the proposed legislation against the Knowles Lombard concern for many years.
 The fight between the Madison beach property owners and private concerns removing sand and gravel from the beach Is more than 40 tempt was made to prevent the beaches by Charles E.. Scranton and others. Repeated appeals to the state for action to stop the re- moval were referred to the federal government which in turn re- ferred the complaints back to the state. A number of years ago a bill was introduced in the legislature tending to halt the removal of the sand but the proposed measure died "in committee"
 Previous Actions
 Four years ago and two years ago Representative Thoms intro- duced similar bills. Attorney Lar kin and others from this city ap- peared before the judiciary com mittee, of which Attorney Thoms
