· SENIOR WRANGLERS.
Since racingtipaters took to using Hyde Park for their operations there has been
a revival of discussion on
park oratory" and its drawbacks. But no one can have studied the subject closely without noticing that to a large extent the audience is more important There
are two different kinds of than the oratory. What some people doubles, which used to be called "Inreally enjoy is the opportunity of formatory"

or
Negative doubles deny strength in the suit doubled, but indicate good protee tion in the other three suits. Positive doubles, on the contrary, indicata sul Scient strength in the doubled suit to ensure the defeat of the contract.
Negative. and Positive doubles have ach widely different meanings, the former practically demanding that the partner make a bid, and the latter warn- ing him not to do so, that it is of sup remo importance that they should be easily distinguishable.
In order to do this I cannot do beter than quote from Mr. Wilbur Whitehead's latest book. He says:-
The amended rule for the double it: Any double of One No Trump or of one or two of a nuit, if made at first opportunity to double, and before partner has bid or doubled, is negative Conversely, any double of two or (informatory).

from a platform; he wants to argue ang crowd and begins to make a comment; thing with anyone. He pushes to the the nearest disputatious man takes up the argument, and within five minutes there is a dense little throng enjoying itself supremely without taking further notice of the professional orator on his tub. Deprive the argumentative man of this safety valve and who knows what might happen? He might try to start an argument with a policeman-and end in the police court. Ho might go home and try to argue with his wife- with a similar result. He might even evictim of spontaneous combustion. There are men, bursting with argument, who are carefully shunned by all who know them; only in the parks can the argumentative man meet the argumenta tive man and share an hour's blissful dispute.—Manchester Guardian.

We will consider the double of "One: No Trump" first, because that is the Wed 25 10 21 more common one. Before the days of informatory doubles the position was very difficult when you had a no trump! band and your opponent called No Trumps in front of you. You did not know what to do. You could call Two No Trumps, but that was always a dan- BOARD gerous experiment; or you could pass and hope to secure 30 or 100 points above the line.
Now there is a third alternative: you can double the "One No Trump," and your partner is bound to bid Two in bis best suit, always giving preference to al major quin. That pans out very well when the double is really sound, but the large majority of doubles that one scea are by no means sound.

Shinhing +41.0 Mr. Milton Work says that "the North River minimum strength which justifies a stringyen. +29.7 double of One No Trump by the second North player is five high cards (Aces, Kings, or at Samahui +273 -5.0 Queens) divided among at least three Buite. When the doubler is fourth in at heklang, +18.2 hand, and therefore behind the No Trump culler, one more high card is required to make the double sound."
I make no apology for quoting so often from American writers, because this is their own pet subject, which they invent ed themselves, and which they have had several years' experience of, whereas it is comparatively new to us.
Anyone who would bear in mind Mr. Work'e rule, as quoted above, and who would keep somewhere near it, would never come to much harm, but people who double on an Ace and two Kings, as I have seen done several time, are abso lutely asking for trouble. I purposely said keep somewhere near Mr. Work's rule, instead of follow it implicitly, be cause it seems to me rather drastic.. Five high cards (Aces, Kings, and Quecos); spread over three suita, constitute a very good hand, and you will not often find yourself with such strength as that with an adverse No Trump call. Still the rule is worth bearing in mind.-Evening Standard.

IMPLACABLE"""SAVED:
Earl Beatty has issued a statement on the result of his appeals for funds to save the old Trafalgar ship Implacable. The time for which the old vessel can be retained in dock at Devonport is draw- ing to a close. “ ́...
The amount subscribed up to date," says Earl Beatty, "is just over $19,000, for which I originally appealed. For this sum it has been found possible to carry out the most urgent repairs, and when the ship returns to Falmouth in! der water, and the weather works will be August the will be thoroughly sound un- in good order up to the height of the upper deck. In fact, subscribers can congratulate themselves on having saved the Implacable."
