Jr ARTICLE No. 36 If one side has won the first game, what are the mathematical odds that it will also win the rubber game? This question has been the source of argument wherever auction players gather, but the mathematicians are all of one mind. They claim that the side has won the first game has a three-to- one chance to win the rubber game.

That fact is undoubtedly true and can be proven by actual computation if doubted by any of our readers. Such proof, however, should extend over a large number of rubbers; otherwise it would not be a fair test. This three-to-one chance to win the rubber, however, holds true only before the cards are dealt for the next deal. When these cards are one side or the other is sure of a game, the odds change of course. If the side which has won a game has another game hand it is certain to win the rubber.

If it has a chance to take a penalty, it must choose between the certain rubber and a penalty with the knowledge that if it takes the penalty it still has a three-to-one chance to win the rubber. If, however, the side which is a game behind picks up a sure game hand, the odds against it disappear and its chances of winning the rubber are now exactly even if it chooses to take its sure game. The odds considered are theoretical only and intended as a guide before the cards are dealt. After they are dealt and the side a game behind has a game hand, it should realize that in taking the penalty it is giving up not only a sure game but also an even chance for the rubber and not a one-to-three chance. These are the main points to consider at any time and the practical way to take advantage of the mathematicaj fact that the side winning the first game has a three-to-one chance to win the rubber game.

In a preceding article it was pointed out that a player should not assist his partner's suit bid unless he held the probability of at least four tricks with that suit as trump. If he held five tricks, he could raise twice and so on To do so, however, he should also hole at least three small trumps or two to 2 high honor. The tricks required coulc be either aces and kings, or trump strength, or the ability to trump a short or missing suit. The following hands were given as examples. Your partnci is the dealer, bids one spade and seconc hand bids two hearts.

Should you raise your partner's bid and, if so, how many times? Hand No. i Hearts --K, 10, 9, 7 Clubs--A, 8, 4 Diamonds 9, 7, 3, Spades 8, 5, 2 Hand No. 2 7 Clubs --A, 7,6, 2 Diamonds 4, 3 Spades 7,6 Hand No. 3 Hearts none Clubs--K, 7,4,2 Diamonds 10, 7, 3, 2 Spades --J, 10, 8, 7 Hand No. 4 Hearts 7 Clubs 7,3, 2 Diamonds 8, 5 Spades 8,7,5,3 Jl.

Analysis: With Hand No7 player should pass. There is not the probability of four tricks in the hand when spades are trumps, so the hand does not contain a sound raise. 1 With Hand No. 2, the player should pass. The hand contains enough quick trick strength to justify a raise but it contains only two small spades and is, therefore, not strong enough for a raise.

With Hand No. 3, the player can raise at least twice. It contains quick trick strength and four trumps. These trumps can be used in trumping the heart suit, so the hand contains at least five, possibly six tricks with spades as trumps. rr: With Hand No.

4, the player can aise at least twice. It contains more quick trick strength than Hand No. 3. ind the same number of trumps. These rumps however, are not so valuable as Hand No.

3 because Hand No. 4 heart. The hand, however, should be worth at least five, and ly six tricks with spades as trumps. Problem Hand No. 1 Hearts--K, 9, 8, 7, "lubs diamonds none A Spades 8,5, 2 score, rubber game.

dealt and bid one no-trump. A and passed, doubled and passed. A bid two passed and bid three diamonds. If passed, what should A now bid? Analysis: A should bid three spades. 3's double of one no-trump indicated that he was prepared for a spade bid.

A bid the heart suit, in preference to the spades, because he held five hearts and only four spades. When bid three iiamonds, however, he indicated that ie didn't want the heart bid. He must, herefore, be prepared for the spade bid. In the actual hand, A bid three spades and scored four odd. Be on the lookout or such hands, as very frequently you can get better results on your second aid in answer to an informatory double than you do on your first.

Problem Hand No. 2 Hearts --J, 9, 8, 7,5,2 i 7 Clubs- Diamonds 7 Spades 10, 5 No score, first game. dealt and bid one heart, and A doubled. If passed, what should do? Analysis: should pass. He has a 'fine hand and six hearts, so should feel confident of defeating the one heart bid.

Don't be afraid to pass an informatory -doublejA one, either in a suit or no-trump, rf you think you can defeat the bid. Big penalties are frequently obtained in this way.

If passed, what should bid? Analysis: should bid two diamonds. As a general rule, the spade suit should be preferred to a minor suit in answer to an informatory not in a case where the hand contains seven diamonds and only four spades. If AshouM overbid two diamonds with two no- trump or two hearts or three clubs, should then bid three spades. Such bidding would indicate exactly four and six or more diamonds. Problem Hand No.

Z's double under conditions set forth show that he is prepared for a bid of three diamonds or three hearts, if his partner has at least four in either suit. If not, he should bid four clubs, unless in his opinion the two spade bid can be defeated. In this hand. has four hearts to the king and no chance to defeat the two spade bid.

Mr. Wolfe referred to the fact that the Sanitary district has more money to spend than it has places to spend it and that the city has not the funds for such improvements. In view of this fact he declared it was out of the question for the city to build the sewers and that they should be built by the Sanitary district. He laid special emphasis upon the fact that the health of the people of this section, property and food is imperiled by reason of the poor sewerage system.

It was decided to request legal opinion from the corporation counsel as to the right of the Sanitary district in laying sewers within the city limits. The next meeting of the commission will be held in about two weeks. Robert Lyman, 6910 Wentworth spent Sunday in his old home vtown, Joliet, 111.
