SEPT. 21, 1933. ANTLERS HOTEL BANDITS TAKE $3,000 IN RAID Machine Gun Band Im prisons Dozen in Room, , Flees With Booty. (Continued From Page One) They were L. E Everett, Eldorado, Kan ; Homer Jones, Lob Angeles, and William C. Craig. Brooklyn,; N. Y. One bandit searched Jones, j but found his purse empty. Jones j a few minutes before had removed S6O from the purse and hidden it \ on his person. Taxi Driver Is Detained Earl Sutherlin, taxi driver with ; a stand outside the hotel, hearing! the confusion, had walked into the i hotel, thinking a fight was taking place, and also was detained. Concluding their search, the; bandits herded the employes and j guests into the hotel elevator and ! locked them in a seventh floor room before escaping. The bellboy climbed out of a win dow, down a fire scape and reached the hotel switchboard, where he called police, and then released the others. When the bandits first drew their > weapons, one w’alked to Hoefleld, the doorman, and poked a gun into his head. “I Ought to Kill Yon!” Hoefleld, who had seen the bandit! visit his car several times, and thought him intoxicated, pushed him away, saying: “What's the mat ter with you?” “This is a stickup; T ought to kill you, you ,” screamed the outraged gunman. Hoefleld held j up his hands and marched into the lobby. Employes said the bandits were eager for every penny they could get, one even stooping to pick up a get, one even stooping to pick up from the floor a few of the bellhop's > pennes from newspaper sales. The blond bandit scooped up about a dozen stamps from the I cash drawer and put them in his pocket, asking Lewis if he didn’t have any more. Footballers in Lobby During visits of the brown-haired bandit to the lobby previous to the j robbery, a group of members of the Cardinals football team, which j played here Wednesday night, were sitting in the lobby of the hotel. It is believed the bandits, noticing the husky build of the football play- ! ers, decided to delay the holdup un til all had gone to their rooms. Manager Griffith said the exact loss would not be known until the hotel books could be audited, and ; guests consulted to learn contents of permanent guest envelopes taken from the safe. Only envelopes left j by transient guests were in the cash drawer. The bandits worked leisurely un til the blond injured his hand, the hotel employes said, nearly an hour elapsing between the time the bell boy was called to the bandits’ room and the time they departed. Police squads under Lieutenant • Ed Schubert and Sergeant Claude Kinder investigated. BAN ON IMMIGRATION APPROVED BY V. F. W. Opposition to World Court Voiced as Legislative Group Is Chosen.

M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League A HAND usually contains only one good lesson, but the fol lowing hand contains four—one in bidding and in the play of the hand. South, the dealer, bid one club, West overcalled with one heart, North bid two diamonds, and South bid two spades. West bid three hearts, and North bid three spades. Some South players now went to four spades. However, the better bid is four diamonds. This gives North the choice of going to four spades or five diamonds. If he goes to four spades, the hand should be passed, while if he goes to five diamonds. South is justified in bid ding for the small slam in diamonds. In playing the hand at diamonds, the declarer should establish the fifth club upon which to discard his five of spades, thereby avoiding the necessity of guessing the spade finesse. At several tables, South was the declarer at four spades. When West opens the ace of hearts and con tinues with a heart. South must re fuse to ruff the second heart because he holds only four spades and one of the opponents may.a Iso hold four. To ruff certainly would lose the contract. By refusing to ruff the second heart all that the declarer need do is to lose a spade, and his contract is made. At another table the singleton diamond was opened, and South won with the king.

You have a singleton heart. Therefore, you can expect to find uneven distribution on the other two hands. The lead of a diamond certainly looks like a singleton. If you ruff the third club and it is overruffed by East, East will lead a diamond, which will be ruffed by West. Then another club will be returned, which will cause you to lose an extra spade trick. The correct play is to lead a king, take the spade finesse ( lead another trump and then start the diamonds. East will be forced to ruff with his good trump, and that is the only trick the declarer need lose. (Copyright. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.)
