uupuCaLeS, CQeTe are LNTee Ol1ereu
classifications of players. One is the
selective pair group, another is the
catch-as-catch-can play, in which
pairs are drawn by lot, and the third
is the play of men pairs against
women pairs.
Last Monday night, the women
entered the contest against the men.
The result showed the men having
a material advantage over their fair
adversaries. The leaders were c. B
Pennebaker and C. E. Stewart, first:
w. j. Hogan, jr., and Frank B. Lord.
second; S. Brashears, jr., and
Everett Watkins, third. Some of
the women who have heretofore
achieved marked success were far
down in the lists. The cumulative
score also showed largely in favor
of the male players.
At the next meeting, one week
from tomorrow night, will occur a
"grabbag game" in which players
will not know who their partners
are until their names are drawn
from hat. The new method of
alternative play, attempted for the
first time this year. has proved very
successful and interesting to the
participants.
Some of Washington's, class A
players believe they have discovered
material improvement to the
Blackwood slam convention intro
duced here nearly a year ago and
since used with high degree of
success. The Blackwood convention
was generally regarded as better
than the old Culbertson slam con-
vention and even the author of the
latter conceded that it was meri-
torious. Now comes another which
is nobody's method especially, but
has been developed by several lead
ing players. For want of better
name, it is known as the -four club
convention"
In the open pair championship
contest of the recent Lynchburg
tournament E. A. Perkins and James
G. Stone, two of Washington's ex-
pert players. discovered an oppor-
tunity to give the convention a
workout, which they did with salts
factory results.
Here is the deal with explanatory
notes. Both sides were vulnerable

The open lead was a heart; it
would make no difference which one.

losing queen of diamonds on heart,
as well as losing spade and a losing

No other pair reached a contract

There are few men on the river

on one OF the Federal Barge Lane
boats, who had been on the river
nearly 40 years.

He said he had never seen the
Mississippi In such bad shape as
IL right now. He told us, too, that
navigation on the Missouri, even
on the maintained channel between
Kansas City and the mouth, Is at
a standstill.
When we made that run, nearly

were aground and all were having

rance to hear the four sharp whis-

rant bar.
The extreme low water has dried
up many of the shutes along the
