an official check-up of the three weeks
Of competition. Singularly, the same
number of records were made in last
years tournament.
Glass D and rollers led the record
smashing assault with three new
marks in each division.
The tournament had run only one
night when George F. Livings and
Archie D. Sartwell, Income Tax
Leaguers, registered 3l2 game in
Glass D doubles. Triple-header strikes
punctuated both strings when Livings
shot 1873 and Sartwell 1854.
Then Alfred Birmingham, young
ster from the Navy Yard rolling in
the Columbia Lodge, No. TIA, I. A. M.
League, caused probably the biggest
stir in the entire event when he shot
4l6 to win the Glass D singles and
followed it up with second record of
l,l24 to win the all-events Of bowlers
who average from 100 to 104. The old
marks were 800, rolled by Dick Clous-
er, and l,097 achieved by Ben Seigel

TILTING the former record by 81

which included game of 267 for an

Among the rollers to feature the
closing night was c. P. Bannon, pres

Louis Stoddard. jr., and John

today in the Spring meeting of the
Rockaway Steeplechase Association.
The former won the Cedarhurst
Grand National with Blackjack. and
the latter won three of the six races,
including the Invaders Purse for
French subscription horses.
Blackjack, favorite in the Cedar
hurst of miles, defeated Harold
E. Talbott's Ship Executive and the
Montpelier Stables Golden Reel, the
only ones OF the field of five to finish.
He had to be fit horse, for these
two made strong bids near the end.
Stoddard rode his horse to victory,
one Of the few men ever to score in
this fashion in the historic race.
Wins With Outsider.
(CHIFF, who is as we'll known In
polo as in racing, won a brush
race with Omel, then took the race
for the French horses with Scotch
Hat, complete outsider. He won the
last race with Lola Montez I'd.
The race for the French horses left
the smart crowd of society notables
with the impression that these horses
will add zest to American cros-country
races this year.
All of the horses entered raced we'll.
and Harold E. Talbott's Barricade I'd
put up a strong finish to come in
second. Talbot was chairman of the
committee that brought over the
French horses last Winter.

The bidding Is well worth consider
able study, and We shall attempt to
describe the mental processes that led
to It, First, the early bids are nor
NAL, with the exception that the two
diamond overcall 10 slightly unsound.
Mr.. Lightners four-club bid is, Of
course, 4 justiflable slam invitation,
whereupon Mr.. Becker was forced to
bid his four-card spade suit At the
level of four. West, who was not vul-
nerable, defended at five clubs. and
now came Mr.. Lightner's pass-the
first brilliant bid Of the hand.
Mr.. Becker now reasoned Is fol-
lows: my partner has . tremendous
hand; witness the slam try. Accord
ingly, his pass merely puts 1t up to
me to take action. He must have
good spades; otherwise he would have
either bid fve hearts Immediately or
doubled the five clubs. Therefore We
can make i've spades. On the other
hand, If I bid i've spades. my nom
vulnerable opponents may continue to
defend at clubs very cheaply."
Hence, Mr.. Becker's double Of the
five-club contract. Mr.. Lishtner. Of
course, took the double out into five
hearts, his solid suit, whereupon Mr.
Becker, knowing that his partner must
have fiIle spades, as mentioned before
(since, otherwise, he would have bid
the five hearts immediately rebid his
four.card spade suit.
Now came the fnal inference. Mr..
Lishtner started to reconstruct the
hand, and came to the conclusion that,
while his partner did not hold the ace
Of diamonds, he undoubtedly held five.
and that If he bid six spades, West
would be unable to open q diamond.
Accordingly. Mr.. Lightner bid six
spades.
Sure enough, as Mr.. Lishtner calcu-
lated, West had no diamonds and
opened \ small club, whereupon Mr..
Becker simply drew three rounds Of
trumps, discarded two Of his clubs and
three Of his diamonds on dummy's
long hearts, and conceded the ace Of
diamonds to make his slam contract.
