CALIFORNIA THE NUGGET IND JACKSONS AND MOBLEYS ARE TICKETED FOR LEADERSHIP The championship Elks bowling league seem to. be leaning strongly toward the Jackson aggregation which has three of the leading pin spillers on its team. The Jacksons have now piled up 19 points which barring contingencies looks to be a safe lead to hoid against alll contestants. honors in the The Schreibers and Mobleys are tied for second honors -and the Perces and _Tamblyns_ for fourth while the Nuggets are still secure in the cellar berth. The Jacksons, Pierces' and Mobfeys’ each copped three pdints the past week and look to make another killing the coming wek against their competitors. The lineup of the teams has not turned out at all as per dope sheet and the windup of the present series is sure to show a great change in future tournaments as the teams are too unevenly lined up to insure close competition. Sherm Costello cheated the Nuggets out of an extra point Wednesday night by slipping in a turkey in the closing frames of the game, and saving pin total for his team. Meyers Mobley is having a runaway race for individual honors and at the pace he is setting is leading the field by a considerable margin. Percy Carr dropped apoint and is now in third while Jackson by consistent work climbed up to 155. There is a close race between Hogan and Curnow with only a pin differ ence while Fouver and Hegarty are Statging a little tie match — theinseives. The field is getting well di vided now. There is talk of challenging the Grass Valley alley shooters to a tournament in the early spring whieh should make for some good sport'as the Valleyites have been at it long enough now to get some real bowlers.

Increased attention is being given to research looking to the more efficient mining, treatment, and utili zation of the numerous’ important nonmetallic minerals, which enter so largely into the construction oi huildings and highways. In the effort to stimulate the development of domestie potash, and thus relieye the American farmer of foreign contro! of that essential fer‘ilizer material, the bureau continued the drilling of test wells in Tex: as and New Mexico. A number of veds cf potash-bearing salts, of varying thickness and value, have been found. Attention was given to the benefication of the lew-grade bauxites of Alabama, Georgia, ‘Tennessee and Mississippi, and the low-grade phosphate ores of Florida. Increasing interest in mica, particularly for radiec and electrical. equipment, led to a survey of the industry. A study was made of the practicability of substitution of the native yellow, brown and lead ochers and . other minerai pigments of California, Oregon~“and Washington for such: materials imported-from various foreign countries. A contraet was awarded for the! erection of a helium _ production ! plant at Sency, near Amarillo, Texa where a new supply of helium-bear: . ing. natural $ has heen found te! replace the fast diminishing supply . i, the Petrolia, Texas, gas. field. As the pereentage of helium content iY the Amarillo field is muth higher, it is expected. that the cost of/. helium in the new plant will reach . figures lower than any heretofore attained. Supplies of helium sufficient . totake care of the requirements of . the dirigibles of the Army and Navy . for several years to come are believ. ed assured: .

As a‘feature of its work in en. ceavoring to promote safety and efficieney in the mineral industries, the Bureau of Mines has prepared what is probably the largest collec} tion of educational industrial mo.-! tion-picture films in the world.

Such knowledge undoubtedly is of prime importance. A proper understanding between partners of the conventions of bidding and play makes better Bridge and more pleasant relations with one’s partners, but every player. should realize that there are exceptions to all rules. A recent book on Auction expresses the point very well: “One aspiring to become an expert player must remember this important axiom — ‘There is no ever nor never in Auction Bridge. “That is, no rule is too good to be broken when the proper occasion arises. The player who knows best when and how to dispense with a rule, knows best haw to play the game. But one thing must never be overlooked. The piss must somewhere, somehow, have earned the application of the rule he is breaking, before he attemr:3 to break it “When the author uses the word ‘never’, please read ‘hardly ever.’ Do not hesitate to break any rule herein set forth if you see a good reason for deing so-—but be sure your reason is better than the rule,” One of the conventions of bidding that usually should be followed is to bid the major suit, if you have one, in pirererence to a no trump, but the following hand shows a justifiable departtre from this rule or convention: I'earts — K, 10, 6 Clubs — 10, 3, 2 Diamonds — 9, 8, 5, 2 Spades —K, 8, 3 How to Play BRIDGE Series 1928-29 by Wynne Ferguson Author of “PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGR” ARTICLE No. 3 ‘A great deal. has been said and writHearts — A, K, 8, 5, 3 Clubs — A, K, Q, 7, 6, 4 Diamonds — 2 Spades — 7 No score, rubber game. Z deals and is obliged to choose between a club and a heart bid. The general rule or convention is that with a choice between a maior and minor suit, bid the major, but this rule holds true only when both suits are of equal length. If the minor suit ie gto to be the longer, it should be bid first and the major suit on the second round. Such bidding should . indicate to partner that the minor suit is longer or stronger and not to support the major in preference, unless he has much better holding in the major suit than in the minor, 2's proper opening bid, therefore, with the above hand is one club. A bids one spade and Y, with a double stopper in the spade suit, should bid one no trump. B passes. _Z should now bid two hearts to show his partner his other suit and to indicate a two-suit holding. A passes and Y is up against the rule that a “twosuiter”’ always should be played at a suit. His hand, however, is not strong in either of his pai.ner's suits and yet 1s very strong in spades and diamonds. For that reason he should figure that he has a better chante for game in no trump than at clubs or hearts. Y therefore should bid two no trump. At notrump Y Z will score three odd, game and rubber. At clubs, four odd 1s possible and at hearts, three odd. Thus it is apparent that Y's departure trom the rule provesa winning venture. Stick by your conventions but also learn when to break them. ‘When you do, however, always have a reason, 2 Y : a ¢ B: Maree Sige Hearts—-A, 9, 8, 7, 5 Clubs—A, 5 Diamonds—A,: J, 4 Spades—A, J, 5 %@ score, rubber game. If Z dean, ' hould he bid one heart or one no rump? @ In this case, the four aces make the no trump bid justifiable, especially as the heart bid contains only one honor. But don't let 100 aces influence you to bid an unsound no trump rather than a sound major suit, when the suit is such a strong one that game is a certainty. On the other hand, don’t bid a weak major suit in_preference to a sound no trump, especially when the hand contains 100 aces. All pass the no trump bid and A opens the four of clubs. . The play of this hand is instructive also, so should be carefully noted. The fact that A leads the four of clubs, the fourth best of his long suit, and that the deuce and trey of clubs are in the dummy hand, show that A has only fer clubs: Therefore Z should win the rst club trick with the ace and set his heart suit. He can afford to lose one heart and three club tricks. He will still score game if the spade finesse is puccessful. Played in this way, Y Z will make one club, four heart, three spade and one diamond tricks or three odd, game gnd rubber. Learn to count your tricks’ and plan the play of the hand before you play to the first trick. It will win you many a game and rubber. There is another case where conventions should be discarded. That a “two-suiter’’ always should be played nt a suit is one of the recognized conventions of the game; but sometimes ere is a better bid, and the following nd is a good illustration: ‘ Hearts — J, 6 the ten of spades. How sho the play of the hand? of diamonds, mond trick in Y’s hand with the kin so that he can play t and thus force discards.

Such knowledge undoubtedly is of prime importance. A proper understanding between partners of the conventions of bidding and play makes better Bridge and more pleasant relations with one’s partners, but every player. should realize that there are exceptions to all rules. A recent book on Auction expresses the point very well: “One aspiring to become an expert player must remember this important axiom — ‘There is no ever nor never in Auction Bridge. “That is, no rule is too good to be broken when the proper occasion arises. The player who knows best when and how to dispense with a rule, knows best haw to play the game. But one thing must never be overlooked. The piss must somewhere, somehow, have earned the application of the rule he is breaking, before he attemr:3 to break it “When the author uses the word ‘never’, please read ‘hardly ever.’ Do not hesitate to break any rule herein set forth if you see a good reason for deing so-—but be sure your reason is better than the rule,” One of the conventions of bidding that usually should be followed is to bid the major suit, if you have one, in pirererence to a no trump, but the following hand shows a justifiable departtre from this rule or convention: I'earts — K, 10, 6 Clubs — 10, 3, 2 Diamonds — 9, 8, 5, 2 Spades —K, 8, 3 How to Play BRIDGE Series 1928-29 by Wynne Ferguson Author of “PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGR” ARTICLE No. 3 ‘A great deal. has been said and writHearts — A, K, 8, 5, 3 Clubs — A, K, Q, 7, 6, 4 Diamonds — 2 Spades — 7 No score, rubber game. Z deals and is obliged to choose between a club and a heart bid. The general rule or convention is that with a choice between a maior and minor suit, bid the major, but this rule holds true only when both suits are of equal length. If the minor suit ie gto to be the longer, it should be bid first and the major suit on the second round. Such bidding should . indicate to partner that the minor suit is longer or stronger and not to support the major in preference, unless he has much better holding in the major suit than in the minor, 2's proper opening bid, therefore, with the above hand is one club. A bids one spade and Y, with a double stopper in the spade suit, should bid one no trump. B passes. _Z should now bid two hearts to show his partner his other suit and to indicate a two-suit holding. A passes and Y is up against the rule that a “twosuiter”’ always should be played at a suit. His hand, however, is not strong in either of his pai.ner's suits and yet 1s very strong in spades and diamonds. For that reason he should figure that he has a better chante for game in no trump than at clubs or hearts. Y therefore should bid two no trump. At notrump Y Z will score three odd, game and rubber. At clubs, four odd 1s possible and at hearts, three odd. Thus it is apparent that Y's departure trom the rule provesa winning venture. Stick by your conventions but also learn when to break them. ‘When you do, however, always have a reason, 2 Y : a ¢ B: Maree Sige Hearts—-A, 9, 8, 7, 5 Clubs—A, 5 Diamonds—A,: J, 4 Spades—A, J, 5 %@ score, rubber game. If Z dean, ' hould he bid one heart or one no rump? @ In this case, the four aces make the no trump bid justifiable, especially as the heart bid contains only one honor. But don't let 100 aces influence you to bid an unsound no trump rather than a sound major suit, when the suit is such a strong one that game is a certainty. On the other hand, don’t bid a weak major suit in_preference to a sound no trump, especially when the hand contains 100 aces. All pass the no trump bid and A opens the four of clubs. . The play of this hand is instructive also, so should be carefully noted. The fact that A leads the four of clubs, the fourth best of his long suit, and that the deuce and trey of clubs are in the dummy hand, show that A has only fer clubs: Therefore Z should win the rst club trick with the ace and set his heart suit. He can afford to lose one heart and three club tricks. He will still score game if the spade finesse is puccessful. Played in this way, Y Z will make one club, four heart, three spade and one diamond tricks or three odd, game gnd rubber. Learn to count your tricks’ and plan the play of the hand before you play to the first trick. It will win you many a game and rubber. There is another case where conventions should be discarded. That a “two-suiter’’ always should be played nt a suit is one of the recognized conventions of the game; but sometimes ere is a better bid, and the following nd is a good illustration: ‘ Hearts — J, 6 the ten of spades. How sho the play of the hand? of diamonds, mond trick in Y’s hand with the kin so that he can play t and thus force discards.
