it would have been foolish for him to
have bid two no trumps. With this type
of hand, there is a much barter chance
for game in the suit than at no trump.
At spades, Y Z made four odd, losing
only one heart, one spade and one
diamond trick. At no trump, A B would
have set the contract as they could
have scored five diamond trickst one

Z to do? Should he try for game in

He figured that there was probably
a game either in hearts or in no trumps,
but that he would score more points by
bidding two no trumps. He had a
double stopper in the other suits so
that the no trump bid was perfectly
safe. It was lucky that he did rebid the
no trump for there were five hearts in
one hand; so that it was only possible
to make three hearts. On the other
hand, with a diamond opening he easily
scored three odd in no trump.

The Electra Oilers defeated the
Empire Paper Company of Wichita
Falls, Sunday at Sunshine Park.
Three errors, a walk and five hits
in the first inning gave the Oilers
a nine run lead, and took all the
fight out of the Paper boys.
Stroud, the boy that handles the
short position, had almost a perfect
day with five hits at six times up.
The Oilers have not lost a game to
date and would like to hear from
some team that thinks they are
good—and are good.

Austin, Texas, June 24—Governor OlletS Overwhelm
Sterling will not .submit the subject
of revenue and taxation if a special
session 6f the Legislature is called.
He so stated in an interview last
week with Byron1 C. Utecht, Staff
Correspondent of the Fort Worth
Star Eelegram. Passage of an oil
and gas conservation act, he said,
was. the only excuse he knew of for
calling the Legislature and he ex-
pressed the opinion that a special
session on this subject should not
last longer than one or two weeks.
Orderly production of oil, bringing
higher prices, probably would solve
the problem presented by an expect-
ed deficit in the state revenue, th«
governor said, and this opinion is
shared by Senator J. W. E. H. Beck,
chairman of the finance committee,
according to the Utecht interview.
As evidence that no new revenue
measure is necessary, the governoi*
referred to his action in striking
nearly $4,000,000 from oppropriation
bills passed by the regular session,
whch reduced to not more than $2,-
000,000 the probable deficit of 1933.
; “As to the $2,000,000 more needed,
I have several cards up my sleeve,'’
he declared, “i— - ----- - - --

ARTICLE No. 31
In any discussion as to the advisabil-
of taking out partner’s no trump
pid with a bid of two hearts or two
spades, careful consideration should
.di-> be given to what the no trump
rudder should do.
That is, if the dealer bids one no
<rump, second hand passes and the
dealer’s partner bids two hearts or
spades, with what type of hand should
tne dealer bid two no trumps or pass?
Any theory of the take-out that you
may adopt is incomplete withoiit a
thorough understanding between part-
ners as to the procedure dealer should
follow subsequent to the take-out. The
writer is of the opinion that if this
procedure becomes thoroughly under-
stood, there will not be the various
differences of opinion as to the take-
rut. With a partner who understands
what to do after a take-out, ilf is much
raster to arrive at the best btcT of the
’ wo hands.
The purpose of the take-out, of
course, is to bid a suit that offers a
t/»tter chance for game than the no
u.’mp. If, however, the original no
Uump bidder still considers the no
trump offers a better chance for game,
ne aiould bid two no trumps. If you
atk.ot this procedure it is much safer
co ,ake out the no trump with any
<vc card major suit. Such a bid gives
that information to partner and, if he
doesn't consider it the best for game,
should bid two no trumps. Such
ptocedure never can do any harm and
m; uiany hands will enable partners to
amre a game not otherwise possible.
During an evening’s play, the writer
acted three hands where this procedure
tfua followed and with perfect results
in each instance.
