The deputy smilingly indicated the
door to an inner Office. Tracy dropped
into a comfortable chair.

His face was serious. "I'm sorry, Mr..

while. I'm waiting for wireless from
Captain Pollard. giving me certain in

But this is an outrage" Burke pro-

Can you give any explanation of
how your fingerprint got on that
gun?"
None whatever"

I'm going to have to keep you in

consent to take a room in an hotel and
permit a deputy marshal to be with
you at all times. we may be able to
clear up the matter without having
you actually incarcerated."
''And if l refuse?' Burke asked.
The deputy shrugged his shoulders.
Burke said. 'Let me tell you some

accomplishing the double purpose of

them free to carry on certain schemes

seemed to me too bizarre to be worthy

Developments can see how simple it
is and how effective"
The deputy smiled. His smile was

Burke shrugged his shoulders. "Un-

There followed an existence during
which deputy marshal accompanied
Burke everywhere he went.
1t was nearing four o'clock in the

deputy marshal was called to the

minutes. Then he said, "Okay, right

deal Of Gne bridge. While 1t was not
Of championship class. the players
were good enough so that they were
never defeated in interclub matches.
incidentally, Oswald Jacoby. one Of
the younger members of the club, was
occasionally allowed to play as a sub
stitute when one OF the regulars did
not show up. The best player on the
team was the late ]. B. Lee, whose
play was really Of championship
caliber.
Mr.. Lee used to have a particular
horror of questions about bridge hands.
Finally, as a defense, he invented his
own question, which has since become
rather a classic in some bridge circles.
although it may be new to many Of
our readers. The question is as fol-
lows: If you dealt and held the ace
king Of spades and IL clubs headed
by the jack, what would you do?"
As this was In the days Of auction,
vulnerability was not mentioned, but
usually Mr.. Lees victim would ask
what the score was and If either side
had a game. Having listened to this
information, he would now think for
a long while. and in general decide to
open the bidding with one, two, three,
four or five clubs. Occasionally a
brilliant player would say that he
would pass, and once in a while a
particularly imaginative player would
say that he would bid either a dia-
mond or heart.
1t was rare, indeed, that the real
point of the question would be seen.
The question was not what would
you bid, but what would you do, and
the answer, of course. is to call for
a new deck. There are only l3 caros
in a suit. and the ace. king and
queen account for three of them.
Therefore. in order to have II cards
headed by the jack. you would have
a duplicate Of one of the small cards
and it would be a foul deck.

Real Handicap.
w YE ARE presenting today the
AA/ story Of two good bridge
wv players and two good golf
ers. They were close
friends, and frequently went out for
day Of golf, followed by bridge, the
understanding being that the two golf
players would play against each other
at both games and the bridge players
likewise. However. one day they de-
cided to try handicap matches and
put the bridge players together at
both games. incidentally, both of the
latter were steady golfers of the dub
class. whose scores would invariably
be found somewhere between 100
and ITO.
A suitable golf handicap was ar
ranged. and now both bridge players
started doing almost unbelievable
things. Sliced drives would strike
stones and bounce back onto the fair
way, topped approach shots would roll
right through sand traps onto the
green, and puts would go down from
almost anywhere on the green, with
the result that one bridge player shot
q 30, the other 81 and, with the aid
Of their handicap, the pair over
whelmed the good golfers.
At dinner, the golfers were indig-
nant. and jokingly accused the bridge
players Of having concealed their
golf1ng ability, whereupon the golfers
were invited to choose their own
handicap at bridge They now asked
for one trick a rubber to be taken the
same way that bisque is taken in
golf: i.e.. any time the players receiv-
ing the handicap want it.
On the first hand, the bridge players
bid and made game. At this point
the golfers could take their bisque,
which would set the contract one
trick, but they decided to wait. On
the next hand. the bridge players
reached a three no trump contract
which was laydown. However, the
alert declarer realized that he had to
make an overtrick in order to offset
the effect Of the bisque, and proceeded
to do so. The bisque was taken, but
1t saved only 80 points.
During the following rubber. both
sides became vulnerable, and the
golfers still had their bisque in re-
serve when they picked up the fol-
lowing hand:
Evening star., 1936-11-01

West promptly cashed his two aces,
defeating the contract two tricks. A
one-trick set would, Of course, have
done him no good, since the golfers
would have made the contract with
the aid Of their bisque. As the matter
stood. since the contract was re-
doubled, the golfers decided to take
their bisque anyway and hold the set
to 400 points. At the same time they
proceeded to explain their rather weird
bidding.
1t seems that the South player had
realized his jump to six spades was a
definite overbid Of one trick, and had
made the bid since he knew that he
had bisque to even it. North also
realized when he bid seven spades
that he was overbidding one trick, but
he also was figuring on the bisque.
Eeach player had taken account of the
handicap in his bidding, with the re-
suit that they had gotten two tricks
too high instead of one.
On the next hand, the bridge players,
with the pressure of the bisque re-
moved, were able to bid and make a
small slam. whereupon the golfers gave
up the match.

Of Brooklyn was the scene of q great
