Trick 1. The opening lead presents n three
cornered choicc-thc trump. the club. or the
singleton. Either the trump or the singleton
will make nine tricks for Alb. The long suit,
plus the implied invitation to lead trumps. will
make eight tricks with u good partners; minus
the invitation ii will make anywhere from three
to five. In this case the lead of the low card
shows a fair suit OF clubs with II ccrta in card of
%rcentry. and no objection to n trump lead.
Trick J. Most of the women who held BIS
cards admitted that the lead ut this point was a
stickcr. The absence OF any trump to lead.
coupled with the desire to get trumps out i'm
nhcdintcly. brings up tho question OF how to get
partner in the lead and at the same time keep
her from thinking that Is does not want trumps
led. Here IS where the invitation game works
like a charm. AS reentry card is almost to a
certainty u spade. for diamonds is Us long suit,
and II has five of them. so A Is short. The lead
of the low diamond from Il shows an honor in
the suit lin Philadelphia. and il it is the queen.

INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORT.
Rival Teams brace Themselves for the Crucial
Teat on Track md DInmond

The intcrscholastic season in athletics and base
ball will come to a close this month. The most
important event yet to be decided. and for which
the hardest kind of training is being done. is the
annual track and field meeting. which takes
place at Berkeley Oval next Saturday afternoon.
This season has marked n greater rivalry among
the schools of the local association than ever he
fore, and the struggle for championship honors
will be IA hot one.
After this event some of the youngsters will go
out of training, willie others will keep up the
pressure until after the second annual games OF
the National IntersCholastic Athletic Associa-
ton. at Columbia Oval, on saturday, June IL.
The baseball season thus far has not proved
very successful. and the same trouble as that OF
last year has sprung up. The schedule had 10
be rearranged several times owing to schools
deciding not to enter teams at the last moment.
The season is now well under way, and the re-
suit of the struggle in this city and Brooklyn is
nnxiously awaited. Brooklyn Latin and Pratt
Institute arc out Of the roll In the Long Island
League, with chances OF the once formidable st.
Paul School following suit. In this city Co.
lumbia Institute is out. and the fight will
probably again be between De La Sale Insti-
tute and Berkeley School.
The Berkeley School ball tosscrs are looked
upon as the coming champions. They have n
better team. and arc also in better condition
Than any OF their rivals FOR the llonors. ben.
Pcll, ana Paulding alternate in pitching, while
Wiley does the catching. The nine is composed
of heavy hattcrs and good base runners.
De La Sale Institute boys ARE also playing
in excellent form and arc confident that they
will snatch the championship from Berkeley.
In Hawks the team ha. a good pitcher. He has
improved wonderfully since last season and mp
TO he present time has kept the slugEcrs of the
yariou, schools guessing. Dunn, the catcher,
makes an excellent backstop. He is also a good
man N third base.
Brooklyn High and Poly Prep" teams will
have a stubborn struggle for the baseball banner
on Long Island. and it is nothing more than u
toss-np as TO which will win the championship.
The standing Of the schools in the lcagu up 10

fact that MISS Morrison, daughter OF
Captain Morrison, OF Crystal Falls, who
had started out alone to look up good
place for berry-picking, was assaulted
and murdered. It now appears that
young man named Peter Bons, whose
mother lives at Norway, and who was
the first person to point out the body,
has confessed that seeing the young lady
leave the high road he followed her aud
after making some insulting remarxs,
which we're repulsed, assaulted and then
choked her to death. The incensed citi-

Problem of Living.

The strong yearning for the life of
Washington or of New York is the mark
of a centripetal tendency which is rea-
sonable and easily understood The
same thing appears in all rich countries.
The we'll to do English try to spend part
Of the year in London, the French in
Paris. They do it and keep their coun-
try homes besides. Our westerners have
more difficult problem. They are much
farther away from their social and polit-
ical centers than most of the French or
the English, and the idiosyncrasies of
the American climate complicate their
home comings. Consider the case of the
rich people of the great Ohio cities.
The Cleveland man who has struck
Standard oil, or politics, or something
and has become solvent beyond the
dreams Of avarice, develops lawful de-.
sire TO live at the center of things and
builds house in New York or Wash
ington, which is his headquarters from
November to May.
He still has house in Cleveland, but
when is he going to live in it? Not in
summer, for his neighbors who stay at
home in the winter come east to the
seashore in the summer. He may find
Cleveland attractive in the late spring
and the early fall, but the chances are
that his family will tell him that it
doesn't pay to travel so far and open
and close house for such short periods.
The upshot of it must tend to be that
the shutters stay up on the Cleveland
mans house in Cleveland, and that he
lives elsewhere. and merely goes home
TO vote or on errands of business. And
why doesn't he give it up altogether?
because considerations of trade or senti-
ment or of politics forbid. 1t pays to be
a representative man and hail from
somewhere, and Ohio is good state to
hail from. -Harper's Weekly.
