Ely Culbertson, member of one of the finalist teams in the American auction bridge tournament and recog- nized as one of the country’s best players, would pass his first bid. “The distribution of the cards would natual- ly create some bidding,” he said. “And there isn" chance of your being beaten anyway.

Others have held 12 caids of one suit, another said he had held a *no trumper” on which he could bid seven without possibility of being set. Edward P.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 3.—The team championship of auction bridge play- ers of the country was at stake to- night, between the Cleveland and Detroit-New York quartets, who se- - | cluded their games in a hotel room for the final 26 hands to a decision.

BLIND GRAIN BROKER TRADES IN CHICAGO } John Schaack Strangely Calm Figure in Turmoil of Wheat Pit. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO.—In the shouting, ges- ticulating mob of brokers milling around the grain pit in the Chicago Board of Trade often Is seen a strange- Iy calm figure. In unhurried fashion the trader does business on a large scale, but he never takes part in the bewildering system of hand signals which transfer ownership of millions of bushels of grain with the raising of a finger. The broker who goes about his busi- ness so quickly is John Schaack. He is stone blind. When Shaack, in the turmoil of the pit, decides to buy or sell, he listens for a suitable offer from some broker within immediate reach and then closes the transaction with a shrill quick word “sold.” Always the kindly hand of the bro- ker nearest him pencils the neces- sary record of the transaction on the sightless man’s trading card. Schaack formerly represented in the pit one of the largest grain companies in the world. Overnight, after an ex- citing day, he went blind, his optic nerves being paralyzed. A boy leads him around the familiar corridors of the Board of Trade, but when he reaches the pit he becomes as keen a part of the rough and ready trading as in the days when he had his sight.
