A committee will be named by The Times to pick the winners. All those entering the contest must have their essays postmarked before midnight. Wednesday, Feb. 11, and announcement of the ten fortunate ones named will be made in The Times Saturday, Feb. 14. The first class will report for lessons at the Smith-Nelson academy at 6 o’clock, Monday evening, Feb. 16, the instruction to last an hour. Succeeding lessons will be given on Wednesday and Friday nights. At the end of the two-week, sixlesson course, another group of ten girls, also chosen by the essay route, will take up their drivers and putters and get their golfing careers under way. And so on untitl four classes of ten girls each have taken their instruction. Tourney as Climax Business girls, unemployed girls, with no special age limit, are eligible. And when it’s all over, a tournament will be staged on a city outdoor course, with all the forty participating, to see who has benefited most by the Smith-Nelson course. Get busy now. It’s free and worth while. Maybe you'll be challenging Miss Elizabeth Dunn for city championship honors before many more months roll past.

Brilliant Hand Is Developed When Stars Clash at Bridge Over Radio

THREE outstanding New York bridge authorities, as well as an expert from Denver, participated in the eleventh of Milton C, Work’s radio bridge games broadcast Tuesday from station WFBM. The New Yorkers were Ely Culbertson, editor of The Bridge World; Ralph J. Leibenderfer and E. V, Shepard, with Mrs. Lewis Todhunter of Denver. Their hands were: Culbertson, dealer. South—Spades, A, Q. 10, 7, 6. 5; hearts, A 7, 5 4; diamonds, 3,2; clubs 4. Mrs. Todhunter, West—Spades, 4, 3; hearts, 3; diamonds, 8,7, 6,5, 4; Club* A, K, J, 10, 2. Leibenderfer, North—Spades, J, 10, 2; hearts, K, 10, 9,6; diamonds, A, J 10; clubs 10 7, 5. Shepard, East—Spades, K, 8; hearts. Q, J, 8,2; diamonds, K, Q 9; clubs Q, 9,8, 3. Culbertson, South, opened the auction with one spade. Mrs. Todhunter West, said two clubs; Leibenderfer, North, two spades; Shepard, East, three clubs. Culbertson, South, went to three spades, which held the bid. Opening the play, Mrs. Todhunter, West, led the king of clubs, to which Culbertson played the 5 from North, the dummy hand. Shepard, East played the 3 and Declarer the 4 from closed hand. Shepard played his lowest club as a discouragement card; he felt it might be better for Mrs. Todhunter to switch her suit. It was evident to Shepard that Declarer had an abundance of trumps, so forcing could not injure his hand and Shepard was quite sure that Declarer would ruff a secand club. Shepard would have been suited perfectly by a diamond lead from his partner; or a heart was not liable to be seriously harmful. tt tt n INFLUENCED by her partner’s discouraging play of the trey of clubs, Mrs. Todhunter led her singleton heart to trick two, hoping that Shepard had the ace and queen, or at least the ace, to give her one ruff. , Declarer, after studying the situation, played the king of hearts from Dummy. East played the deuce. He appreciated that his partner’s lead probably was a singleton, and it seemed best to him to keep his queen-jack-8 together over Dummy's 10-9-6 rather than to start a signal by playing the 8. Declarer played the 4. To trick three Declarer led Dummy’s 9 of spades. East followed with the 8, Declarer with the 7, and West with the trey. Declarer continued from Dummy with the deuce of spades, East dropped the king, Declarer played the ace, and West the 4, the last adverse spacie. Culbertson next led the deuce of diamonds* from the South hand; West played the 4, Dummy the 10, and Shepard, East, won with the king of diamonds—a false card, the object being to induce Declarer to finesse again in that suit. To trick six Shepard led the 8 of clubs, his partner’s suit. Declarer ruffed with the 10 of spades, West played the deuce and Dummy thfc 6. Declarer then led the trey of diamonds. West played the 5, Dummy the ace, and East the 9. Declarer continued diamonds with Dumrfiy’s jack; East played the queen; Declarer ruffed with the queen of spades; and West played the 6 of diamonds. Declarer, at trick nine, led the 5 of spades from closed hand to put Dummy in the lead; West discarded the 7 of diamonds; Dummy played the jack of spades, and East discarded the 9 of clubs. a tt DECLARER next led from Dummy the 7 of clubs; east played the queen; Declarer trumped with the 6 of spades, and West played the 10 of clubs. Declarer had developed the hand as he planned to do from the moment the trey of hearts was led by i;rs. Todhunter. Culbertson was certain the trey was a singleton and therefore Shepard, in the East, must have held four hearts originally; and after the first heart trick must have been left with the queen-jack-8. Declarer had to take three heart tricks to make his game. He could

do this only by the subtle playing he developed. To trick eleven he led the 5 of hearts from closed hand. Mrs. Todhunter, west, discarded the 8 of diamonds; Dummy played the 9 of hearts, and Shepard, East, won with the jack. Shepard then had nothing to lead but a heart, and it was immaterial whether he led the queen or the 8. In either event Culbertson would take the remaining two tricks. If he led the queen, South’s ace would win that trick, and Dummy's 10 the next. If the 8 were led, Dummy’s 10 would win and Declarer’s ace would take the final trick. Declarer therefore won four-odd, scoring 36 points, game, with 40 honors. At progressive or duplicate, there would have been an additional 125 Doints for game in one deal. tt tt TN his analysis of the play, Work said: “It is rarely that we see a hand developed as brilliantly as the one just played. When Mrs. Todhunter led a heart to trick two, Culbertson could maik that lead as a singleton and place Shepard’s hearts. “He had lost one club trick and knew he must lose one diamond. Therefore to make game his spade finesse must succeed and he must develop the hearts so as to lose only one trick in that suit. “If North should play the 6 of hearts on this trick, Shepard could play the 8-spot, force the ace, and have the queen-jack in reserve. If North should play the 9, East could play the jack, and have the queen--8-2 over North’s king-10-6. ‘,‘To win this trick in the North hand was essential in order to finesse the trumps; and unless his trump finesse won, Declarer could not make game. “After North won the third trick with the 9 of trumps, he boldly led the deuce to the next trick, hoping and expecting that the king would drop and that his jack of spades would be an entry. It turned out that way (Shepard's 8 had not been a false card), and the rest of the play developed easily, Declarer being able to exhaust Shepard’s diamonds and clubs so as to force him to lead a heart at trick twelve.” nun THE contract bidding of this hand, under the common sense system would be: South, two spades; West, pass; North, three spades; and then whether South should bid or pass would be doubtful. His bid of two would have shown the full strength of his hand, but with a partner able to assist spades, the distribution of the hand was most satisfactory; so South probably would bid four spades. The common sense system would be the only one which would permit South to bid two spades originally, and therefore the only one that would shut out bids by West and East. It probably would be the only one that would produce a game bid by South. However, the game bid

would be disastrous in the hands of any but a master player. For the final two problems in his handicap test series, Work announced these cards: ~ South—Spades, A, J, 9,4; hearts, A, 8,6; diamonds, A, 9; clubs, A, 10, 7, 2. North—Spades, K, Q, 7,2; hearts, J, 7; diamonds, K, J, 10, 6,5, 2; clubs, 9. South is playing a no trump declaration (at contract three no trumps). West leads to the first trick the 6 of clubs; North plays the 9, and East the king of clubs. Question 19—Which club should South play on this trick? Question 20—When South obtains the lead, which suit should he lead? HUNT OIK CLUBBER Young Woman Beaten With Baseball Bat. By Times Special TOLEDO, Feb. 4.—The reign of a clubber who terrorized Toledo several years ago was recalled today as police hunted a youth who attacked a young woman here Tuesday night and beat her senseless with a baseball bat. Walking along a dimly lighted street, Miss Kate Laux, 24, was accosted by the clubber, who, without warning, struck her on the head with the bat and then fled, as her screams attracted residents of the neighborhood. Her condition was serious today. POSTAL RECEIPTS DROP $48,800 Decrease for January Is Reported by Bryson.

STATE HIGHWAY PROBERS GALL NEWJfITNESS Hinkle to Appear Before Board; Senator Watson Linked to Case. A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent of the state highway department, will appear before state senate invesigators this afternoon to tell what he knows of the transfer of construction funds to “betterments” -black-top pavement—which is alleged to have aided the highway commission to go broke and fail to collect federal aid funds. This announcement was made today by Senator Charles L. Strey (Rep., Kosciusko and Wabash), chairman of the investigating committee. Admission that the increased “betterments” helped to financially embarrass the department was wrung from William G. Titus, chief engineer, during questioning by the committee Tuesday. At the afternoon session it also was brought out that political pressure had been exerted through Senator James E. Watson to oust James T. Voshell, federal district highway engineer. Titus displayed a letter from Thomas H. McDonald, chief of the federal roads bureau, arranging a conference with Director John J. Brown of the state highway department to thrash out the matter. At the conference, held here in January, Titus said both McDonald and Voshell appeared and Brown told them he knew nothing of the effort to bring charges and oust Voshell. Chairman Albert J.

the state highway commission and Commissioner Jess Murden also denied that they wanted this done and the matter was patched up, Titus testified. He refused to acknowlege the charge made by Strey that Watson was brought into the scheme by Murden on a trip to Washington and that the fight against Voshell was to permit the Indiana department to secure federal funds without living up to rigid federal requirements. “I do not know what it was all about,” Titus declared. He also testified that relations with the federal roads bureau were amicable and that the bureau had nothing to do with the department’s failure to collect $3,500,000 in federal aid, while going into debt more than $2,500,000. The chief engineer also admitted
