Alfred M. Gruenther, U. S. A, to whom the nation’s experts turn as reféree of their important tourna- ments. He officiated al' the Lenz-Culbertson match. ~ Especially important fo the player ‘will be his analyste of ‘penalties’ for infringcments of the laws. He will compare in defall the new and old penal- ties, the rcasons therefcr, as well as the philosophy of the ccoring changes.) By LIEUT. ALFRED M, GRUENTIER, U. S. A, (Written For The Asscciated Press) The new International Contract Bridge Code which became effective in the United Statos, France and En ite step forward; * Penalties for infrin igrated. Following is an anal [ EXAMINING A QUITTED TRICK' NEW LAW—A trick may not be examined after it has once been quitted, except to settle a dispute | involving ownership of trick. | Penalty—Declarer or left hand opponent may call a lead when | next it is the turn of the of-| fending side to lead. ! OLD LAW—Any player could ex- | amine quitted trick until he or! his partner had played to the' next succeeding ‘trick. There Was no penalty for infringement. COMMENT—It always has been annoying to have a player look| at a quitted trick. There is no, good reason why a player can-| not remember cards as they are played. { Vi THE REVOKE | NEW LAW—(a) A player ‘re-| vokes” when he fails to follow | suit when able to do'so. How- ever, revoke penalty is not as-| sessed until “the revoke becomes | established.” The revoke is es-| tablished as soon as the calendari or his partner leads or plays to the next trick. “ () Penalty for established re- | voke is two tricks for first revoke and one trick for each suceed- | ing revoke. Tricks shall be trans- | ferred to the non-révoking side | and scored as if that side had actually won the tricks in play. (¢) If no iricks are taken by revoking side after revoke has; been committed there shall be no | penalty. If only one trick is[ taken then only one trick shall | be paid to the non-revoking side. Thus, assume that South is playing a contract of four| hearts, and that the East-West | pair win the first four tricks,! the fifth trick being won by De- | clarer; and on that trick Weast revokes. If Declarer then wins remaining tricks there will be no penalty for revoke, since revok- | ing side failed to win any tricks | after revcke, The Declarer, there- | fore, has been set onme trick on! his four heart contract. | (@ If a player holds a card| of a suit led and fails to play it when playing to'the twelfth | trick, that error must be cor- | rected as soon as it is disvov- ered. In no case will the penal- ty for an established revoke be assessed. | LD ‘LAW—The penalty of two tricks for first revoke and 100 points for each succeeding re- voke ‘was prescribed under the 1926 code of laws. Pu'rthermore.l‘ there was no consideration given to the question as to when re- voke actually took place. COMMENT—It always has been| considered unfair to collect tricks on a revoke penalty when re- voke could have no possible ef-| fect on the play. The term ‘“re- nounce” (failure to follow suit when able to do so) has been abandoned. Now instead of a penalty for a “revoke” and an- other for a “renounce” there is one penalty for “an established ysis of new and old rules: gland November 1 should be enthusiastically received. It is a defin- gements of the laws have, in general, been considerably amel- i 3 M. GRUENTHER LIEUT. ALFRED revoke” and a difl for a “revoke.” CORRECTED REVOKE NEW LAW—If an apponent of De- clarer revokes and his attention is called to the irregularity be- fore reveke. bacomes .established, Deaclarer is permitted: 1. To treat the card played erent penalty in error as an exposed card, or| 2. The require the offending player to play the highest or lowest card of the suit in which he failed to follow. OLD LAW—Penalty under old law | was the same. It was known as| penalty for a rencunce. ! INSUFFICIENT BID NEW LAW-If a player makes an insufficient bid and attention is called to the error by either ad- versary or by partner, the bid must be made sufficient, though there is no requirement that it be made sufficient in the same suit. Thus, a player who makes’ an insufficient bid of two clubs over two spades may change his bid to three no trump if atten- tion has been called to the in- sufficiency. The partner of the insufficient bidder is then barred from bidding when next it is his| turn to declare. Thereafter the partner may re-enter the auc- tion. OLD LAW—The old penalty barred the partner of the insufficient bidder from any further bidding on thiT deal, COMMENT — The penalty imposed by the former law was too se- vere. REVIEW OF THE BIDDING NEW LAW—During auction any player may ask for review of bidding when it is his turn to| declare. After auction is com-| pleted, and before first lead is ‘made, any player may ask for complete review eof bidding. Af- ter opening lead has been made any player may demand to know final bid but review of bidding may not be requested.

It has {4 it touches — never freezes out nor bakes out. ial grade of permeates everything OLD LAW-—No review of bidding was permitted after last player had passed. COMMENT—The vast majority cI bridge players have always per- mitted review of bidding until opening lead was made. (Tomorrow: Lieutenant Gruenther will discuss remain- infringement of the laws.) . B g oo e WITH INVENTORS OF THE WORLD Swimmers in Germany are wear- ing life belts which can be filled with gas in an instant in an emergency, but which are not in the way when unneeded. The belt censists of a closed tubular piece cf cotton material which is fairly gas-tight when wet. If the swim- mer gets into difficulties, he pres- ses a lever which breaks a glass capsule filled with a carbonte compound which effervesses when wet, evolving carbon dioxide. The gas fills the belt and transforms it into an effective float. Fire alarm boxes that handeuff @all persons operating them have been tested as a means of pre- venting false alarms. A person turning in a report must insert an arm in the underside of the box and turn a key. This causes a cuff to clamp about the wrist as the alarm is relayed. Since the |clamp can only be removed with & special key in possession of the firemen, the operating is secursly held, until the fire department reaches the box and releases him. Many of the autombile driver’s <teering troubles are eliminated by 2 Sabilizer that holds the tie-rod at a uniform tension. It is said to stop wheel wobble, oscillation of steering wheel and shimmying, and to make all steering easier. Two Ttalian army officers have invented a silencer for artillery and naval guns, which was tested recently. It is attached to the muzzle of a big gun and is said not only to repress the noise, but also to make the flame and smoke invisible. Instead of a battery, a flashlight recently developed ha$ a small and compact generator operated by a spring. Twisting the small end of the light winds the spring to op- erate the dynamo. A few turns assures constant Mght for a con- siderable length of time, and at the first signs of dimming a few more twists renew the brightness.
