How to Pl& y WgsF/ BRIDGE 'J new series of lessons bp / ' ‘ Wynne Ferguson / Author of "PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE* Cawrrigfct 1926, by Hoyle. Jr. The writer has often referred to the charm of the unexpected at auction. When you think you have an invincible hand, a bad “break" surprises and dis concerts you and you only make one or two odd. On the other hand, the game has its compensation, for how often docs an apparently worthless hand turn out to be a big winner! Very often the one picture card in the hand is just the one to make your partner’s hand in vincible, and so turn apparent defeat to an unexpected victory. “Never say die” is just as good a motto for auction bridge as for anything else. Here is a good example of the hopeless hand turning out to be a winner. Z dealt and held the following hand: Hearts Q, 4, 2 Clubs —B, 7,5, 2 Diamonds lO, 7, 6 Spades— 7,3, 2 Naturally he passed, and probably with the thought: “Here goes game." His partner, however, had most remark able hand: Hearts A, J, 9,8, 7,5, 3 Clubs none Diamonds none Spades —A, Q, J, 10, 9, 5 The bid finally reached five hearts, was doubled and Z’s partner redoubled. He just made the bid, losing only one spade and one heart trick. Z’s one face card, the queen of hearts, saved the day, and Z’s hand which looked so hopeless really contained the element of victory. Never despair and never give up a rubber un til your opponents actually win it. Un- | til they do, there is always hope and that is what makes auction bridge the greatest of card games. In preceding articles the writer has often referred to the 4-4-4-1 type of hand and strongly advised an effort to find a suit bid with such a hand, one | that best fits in with the partner’s hand. Here are two good examples: Hand No. 1 Hearts A, Q, 8, 6 Clubs K, 8,4, 2 Problem No. 1 Hearts Q, 5,4, 3, 2 Clubs —A, K, 8 Diamonds A, K, 6 Spades— 10, 9 Hearts —A, J, 9,8, 7 Hearts —K, 10 Clubs —Q,3, 2 : Y j Club3 — J, 10, 9, 4 Diamonds lO, 4, 3 : A B : Diamonds (j, J, 9, ; Spades Q, J : Z : Spades—7,473 Hearts 6 Clubs —7, 6, 5 Diamonds — 7,5, 2 Spades A, K, 8,6, 5, 2 No score, first game. Z dealt and bid one spade. A passed, Y bid one no-trump, B passed*and Z bid two spades. All passed and A opened the ace of h arts, lie then played the queen of spades. How can Z so play the hand that he ca i win the balance of the tricks against any defense? Solution in the next article. Robert l. walldorff, New Haven architect, submitted the above design in a recent •ompetition of the Architectural Club of New Haven for small con trete masonry homes and received tne first prise for this plan. This house is practically fire-proof for we roof is specified to be of non combustible material, while walls are ox concrete masonry covered with Portland cement stucco. Mr. Walldorff says: ‘ln atfampt ing to work out my design, my first interest was to arrive at a logical floor plan giving due at sinti5 inti on to scale and exterior de gn. Wjth these points in mind I hoped to arrive at a successful so lution of the small house problem. “There was a distinct call of in terest also in the idea of rendering a design in the medium of con crete wall construction finished with Portland cement stucco. The so-called Mediterranean style was adopted because of both historic and picturesque qual ties.” As will be seen, this house has three bedrooms all within easy ac cess to the bath. There is a bal cony which can be converted into a sleeping porch. The first floor Sarticularly represents the well lought out plan. TTie house re quires aGO foot lot. • ARTICLE No. 1 Winner of First Prize Diamonds —7, 6,5, 3 Spades 8 : Y I :A B a a Z a No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one no-trump and A passed. What should Y bid? Y should undoubtedly bid two hearts. This type of hand, 4-4-4-1, is seldom suitable for no-trump, so over bid your partner’s no-trump with that one of the four card suits which offers the best possibilities In this case, the heart suit is fairly strong and should be bid. Hand No. 2 s Y : lA B : I Z : Hearts K, J, 9, 7 Clubs —6, 2 Diamonds 7 Spades K, y, 10, 4 No score, rubber game. Z dc ilt and t one spade. A passed and Y oid one trump. If B passed, what should Z bid? Z should bid two hearts. If Y not help the spade bid, he should good help for hearts a..d a game is v possible. On the other hand, if Z pas& and lets Y play the hand at no-trump, his opponents may run off five diamonds and so save game. With this type of hand, 4-4-4-1, try to find the suit bid that best fits the c mbined hands. If you do, you nearly always score game Hands with this tjpe of dist ibutio come up very freque itly, several time in an evening s play, so if you kno' how to handle them you will mal many a game not otherwise po sible. It’s not oftdh that a good fifty-twc card problem is presented but here is one just from England and it certainly is a teaser.

Lore for Dog-Owners By Albert Payson Terhune MeH&aSW lac M T "But I Thouaht You Were 80 Fond of Dogs,” Exclaimed Phyllis. OLD MAN NEGLEY stopped his lawnrrower to listen to a sound (or rather a series of sounds; that arose above Its cheery whirr. A man was bellowing wrathfully, somewhere on the far side of the fence which parted the Veller yard from the grounds of Colonel Prouse, on Vine street. Through his roars of anger came now the sharp yelp of a dog in pain and fright. Old Man Negley’s gray brows puck ered. He left his work and strode to the fence, peering over its top. There, on the grassplot, stood old Colonel Prouse, towering over a little dog that cowered quiveringly at his feet. “Lie down!” bawled the colonel, in a voice that would have traveled a. half-mile. The luckless puppy only cowered lower and turned his frightened head piteously from side to side In vain search for some way of escape. But he did not lie down. He was too dumb with terror to understand any moan ing but fury in his dreaded master’s tones. Colonel Prouse drew back his foot and kicked viciously at the panic-smit ten dog. The kick landed only glnncingly. But the pup yelped again In fright. “Excuse me, colonel,” called Old Man Negley, across the fence, and try ing to keep his voice reasonably civil. “Excuse me for mentioning it, but there are better ways for a man to show how inferior he is to his own dog than by kicking him. You’ll know that when you cool down. Likewise, if you don’t mind my saying so, a man who can’t train his own temper can’t hope to train a dog. The min ute you loose control of yourself you lose control of your dog. I thought you might like to know. That pup of yours is too good to be spoiled for ever, just for the fun of getting ma’d at him.” “The pup’s worthless I” fumed the colonel. “He’s a born fool. I can’t even kick sense Into his useless car cass. He —” “Didn’t you tell me once, sir, about training a regiment of raw recruits for the Spanish war?” respectfully asked the old man. “Yep,,” said the colonel, “and they were the best-trained regiment, of ci vilians at Chattanooga, if I do say so But what’s that got to do with—” “With, that poor cowed whimpering puppy?” supplemented Old Man Neg ley. “Only this much: Did you kick those recruits and scream and sweat at them and threaten to kill them, tlx first time or two they were ever on the parade ground?” The colonel glowered and said noth ing. “If you had,” went on the oltl man. “foil’d not only have been cashiered irom bin you’d have made that, 'vhlfe r. w ....... worthless as THE TRUE CITIZEN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926 THE TRICK DOC you’re trying to make that pup. “It would have been more sensible to kick the recruits and 'get into a babyish rage at them. Because they would have had sense enough to make allowances. Resides, there would have been some redress for them. “But there isn’t any redress for your dog You’re his god. You have power of life and death over him. You ctin torture him or scare him into fits. He can t save himself and nobody can save him. That’s a pretty big respon sibility, win n you come to look at it in the right way, isn’t it, sir?” “The recruits were grown men, with grown men’s brains. This puppy is only a baby. He has baby brains. He isn’t a Daniel Webster. He is more anxious to learn things than you are anxious to teach them to him “Start him right and handle him right and there’s almost nothing you couldn’t teach him. But when you scare him half to death and kick him. his baby brains has only just room enough in it to know he’s in awful danger. “That pretty little grandchild of yours, now—tiie one who started school last week. Suppose she had coeie home the first day and told you the teacher had begun her education losing her temper at her and had et'ded up by screaming and swearing it her and by kicking her in the head? I he child would have done mighty little learning, with a teacher like dint, wouldn t she? Well, can you ex pert a six month puppy to have,more sense or to learn quicker than a six year old-child? If you granddaughter couldn’t learn her alphabet by being g< :ed in t'jmljead. how can you ex pect a learn to lie down or to shake hands by that same kind of teaching? “You could keep your temper with grown men. You could keep it be cause there’d have been a comeback and disgrace and failure if you lost it.- ou cV/idd keep from kicking men. If \on could do that, you can keep from kicking a helpless puppy that loves you and that wants to please you. “A puppy is only a baby.

It’ll pay in the long run. “If you’d like me to train that pup to do a few simple tricks and a few necessary things, I’ll drop around to morrow afternoon, when my work’s done, and begin his education.” The colonel was red and frowning But presently he blurted: “I suppose you’re right Maybe it is I who am the fool, and not the puppy. Come around. I’d —Fd like to watch you do it.” “Good!” approved Old Man Negley ‘Tomorrow afternoon. Till then, don’t try to make him do anything In the way of learning.
