R io / PAGE SX How can Yâ€"Z win every trick against aay defense? Z should lead the four of diamonds, winning the trick in Y‘s band with the king. He should then lead the ten of clubs from Y‘s hand. B snould. discard a diamond, for if he trumps, Z will overtrump. and_ thus make all his cards good. When B disâ€" cards, Z should‘trump the club, although itis a winning card. If hedoesn‘t trump, but discards the ten of diamonds, B Heorts â€" 9455 Clubsâ€" none Diamonds â€"97 8, 6, 3 Spades â€" none S_ades are trump .and Z is in the lead. ner, and yet that is one of the greatest nmustakes a player can make. ’I‘%xg‘tim\p‘ to keep on playing is when youd are winning. "Push your luck and lfmit your losses," is one of the greatest moxims of the game and yet the one least followed. When you are holding ‘gu_d cards during an evening‘s play, do.‘t think about taking home your prcfts. Keep on playing while your luw" lasts and don‘t stop until it changes. On the other hand, if you are losing, dun‘t keep on playing. A bad" luck socak is one of the Hardest things to break there is, so don‘t try it. One of the best "money‘"" players in the counâ€" try, and by "money player‘‘ is meant a: ma.i who plays auction bridge for high sta‘es and wins, makes it an invariable rule to stop playing if he Toses three ruovers in succession. It may npot be. good sportsmanship but it certainly is goud judgment. Think it over and see wnether you are getting the most out of yoeur good cards and losing as little as possible when you are holding poor cards. If you can Tearh this lésson and stick to it, you have made great strides toward becoming a winning player. The other night a point was raised in one of the New York Card Clubs that caused considerable discussion. The dealer bid one club, second hand passed, and the dealer‘s pariner held the folâ€" lowing hand : Hearts â€" 10, 8, 4, 2 Clubs â€" none Diamonds â€" 10, 9, 7, 6, 3 Spades â€" J, 8, 5, 3 Hâ€"the question were asked* "Which do you enjoy the more, wianing or 1osâ€" ic3s," practically every auction player would reply : ""winning." That is probâ€" ally right and yet it is a well known fact that the winning player is atways willing to quit while the losing:one will play all night if he can get a game.

He s buld now lead the seven of dia:nonds and must win the rest of the tricks as he has the ten, seven of spades over B‘s eight, trey. This problem is an example of the grand coup. S No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one heart, A passed, and Y bid two diamonds. If all passed, what should B open? The eight of clubs is the proper opening lead, It is a close hand but the only other alternative, the ace of spades, gives up command of that suit and may, therefore, be very disastrous. The trump lead is not sound, Three trumps to the jack ten are strong enough either to support partner‘s trump holding or to trump opponent‘s high cards. For that reason they should not be led. The eight of clubs is the only real sound Should he deny his partrer‘s clus Eid or pass? Asa general rule a player choâ€"4d overbid his partner‘s bid when he Es two or less of the sait, but to jestity such procedure he should have at leax one trick in his hand, either in the su‘x bid or balf a trick in the suit bid and half a trick on the side. Never deny yolir partner‘s bid without a trick in your hand. Such procedure is as bad es passing with many tricks in the ofl= sints but only one card of your parâ€" ner‘s swit. Auction is a partnership gan. and you can get the best results only by tcl]gq‘;g your partner the truth. Wren g,éu deny his sait bid you should tell im two things: First, that you havy> only two smal €ards or less of his su.t; ah%fiegoqd; that you have at least a trick in fyov.zr hand and a suit worlh g})a‘yi_n’g“ or. If those .elements aren‘t th present, pass and let your partner bear the burden. In the hand given, the dealer‘s partner should pass. A bid of two diamonds is very unsound for the hand doésn‘t .contain a .trick of any description. : Answer to Problem No: 5 â€"~â€"â€"__ _ Heag â€"~E9.7.3,2: iss Clubs â€" 8, 7, 3 B : Diamonds â€" J, 10, Auene Spades â€" A;, 3 ..

A glance at the paper showed it to be none other than the front and second pages of The Globe of Friday, December 31st. This goes to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that The Globe robin _ picked the liveâ€"wire town of Milton wherein to salute the New Year. _ The second sign of spring is the fact that kingâ€" fishers were seen along the Sixteen Mile Creek near her yesterday afterâ€" noon. And the third sign came when George Kelman showed your corresâ€" pondent a lively bullfrog which he caught in the same creek near . the town yesterday afterngon. . Mr, Kelâ€" man said his frog and several others were singing a paean to the New Year, and added that, while one swalâ€" low does not make a summer, a bullâ€" frog always makes ‘a spring.‘ " The southâ€"east corner of The Globe contained the following on Monday last from a Milton correspondent. The writer had probably been celebrating the New Year in a manner which caused distorted vision. Hence the sight of robins bobbin‘ and frogs croaking. Had he looked more closely he would probably have noticed a snake or two sneaking through the swamp. Anyway this is what the obâ€" servant citizen says he saw , on New Year‘s day: "Here are three positive proofs that spring is not far away. On New Year‘s morning, while a citiâ€" zen of Milton was walking through Victoria Park, he observed a sprightly robin standing on a sheet of newspaâ€" per that the wind had blown against Quebec, Dec. 80.â€"The biggest seizâ€" ure of automobiles, stolen or brought into Canada free of duty, ever made in this province below Quebec has ~been accomplished during the past few days and has resulted in the recovery of eight cars worth about $25,000. The seizure has been made by J. R. E. Poierer, customs officer, and A. Rivard, of Montreal, acting for an auâ€" tomobile insurance company. 4 The automobiles were found at Carleton, Monti Joli and Matane. One car was worth $8100. Freight revenues increased by $1,â€" T172,550 during October, as contrasted with October of last year; but. pasâ€" senger revenues fell off $167,893. The light grain movement, according to a report issued toâ€"night by the Dominâ€" ionâ€" bureau of statistics,; was the prinâ€" cipal factor in a decrease of 5.85 per cent. in revenue tonâ€" mile. Net operating revenues were inâ€" creased by $690,831, and the operatâ€" ing ratio was approximately the same as last year. BIG SEIZURE OF STOLEN AND SMUGGLED MOTORS Ottawa, Dec. 30.â€"â€"Canadian railways as a whole recorded an increase of $2,059,650 in their progress revenues for October, as compared with â€" the corresponding month in 1925. .
