LIFE'S LIKE THAT —By Fred Neher
“I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER PEEP OUTA YOU!"
MODERN MAIDENS

^ “X PICKED IT UP IN A LdT^TLE ANTIQUE SHOP.”
?£)ANIEL POPE COOK was a 19th
century political tyodigv who did
a lot of things in a very short timp.
Although he died at 32. he held more
j jobs and achieved more fame than
many a man twice his age.
I In the 1824 election campaign, no
presidential candidate received a ma
jority of electoral votes, so the election
was thrown into the House of Repre
sentatives. Cook, only Representative
from Illinois, held the fate of a Nation
in his hand. Cook at first had indi
cated he would vote for Jackson, but
at the last minute switched to Adams.
Double Knockout.
i Strange as it seems. Ernie Hether
j ington. Canadian boxer, won a knock
out decision from "The Ace of Spades”
; in 1934 without having knocked out
: his opponent. He left that up to Ref
j eree Johnny Kr.auf, who dropped the
! ace to the canvas for "rushing the
referee.”
Hetherington. in turn, kayoed Young
Jack Thompson, who had climbed into
the ring to help the are. Hetherington
was awarded a knockout decision over
his ring opponent.
Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES
(David Bu’-nstinr. Mrrwin D Mai*r Oswald ,
Jacoby. Howard Schcnkcn. world s lpad:na
taam-of-four. inventors of the system that
has beaten every other system in existence.)
Too Much Bidding.
'•r^EAR FOUR ACES.” writes H. R
McC. of Montreal. Canada, "as
an enthusiastic follower of your system.
I wish you would settle a dispute I
j had with my partner in a rubber game
j where we bid an impassible slam. In
slam bidding I use your rule of the ace
and the king, which I believe reads in
part; 'If your partner gives you an
immediate double raise in your suit,
you are entitled to invite a slam if
! you can subtract an ace from your
hand and still have left a sound open
ing bid.’ Thus, on the hand in ques
tion I could see after my partner's
jump to three spades that I could re
move the ace of diamonds and still
have a hand I would consider a proper
: opening bid. Hence I invited the Siam
; by jumping to five spades, and my
partner carried me to six. Each of
I us claimed the other overbid. What is
1 your opinion?”

The bidding:
South. West. North. East.
1A Pass 3 A Pass
5A Pass 6A Pass
Pass Pass
As is usual in cases of this sort, we
believe that both partners overbid.
North's double raise was somewhat
sketchy, and we would have preferred
a take-out to two clubs, followed by a
later raise In Spades as a compro
mise bid. However, North's first bid
cannot be criticized severely; but his
second bid of six spades was definitely
too optimistic.
Concerning South's bidding, he was
correct in inviting a slam after the
double raise, but didn’t apply our rule
of the ace and king properly. The
slam Invitation should always be
given below the game level. South’s
proper rebid was four diamonds, a
slam invitation which would allow
his partner to return to four spades.
Had he made this bid, we trust that
North would have signed off with four
spades, and the bidding would have
been dropped.
We note that only four spades can
be made on the hand, and since no
bonus is ever given for bidding and
making five, our conclusion is that
H. R. McC. is entitled to the greater
share of the blame.
