The "If" In Checkers.

Analysing n game just played at the
club by two checker experts seems to
be almost as fascinating n recreation
to the spectators as any other branch
of the game. Time and again have we
watched Il half dozen checkerists who
were busy suggesting this move to
draw or that move to win" while
an equal number would be just as
eager to prove the unsoundRess of the
lines in question. BY the time both
sides are through. the position has been
thoroughly sifted and it's intricacies
are apparent to all. Many players,
however. are not very anxious to have
their good things" displayed and ad-
vertised in this manner and generally
decline to answer leading questions.
When an amateur whom the late
James Wyllie had just defeated in 4
game. reset the pieces at n certain po-
sition and said. Mr.. WyIlie. if | had
played so instead OF my original move,
l think would have drawn the
game" the Herd Laddie" retorted.
They are all draws if you put them
back far enough"'-Shaefer's Checker

astound if not confuse an unprepared
witness with 4 plethora of high sound
ing phrases The case 1 speak of was
tried in Sault Ste. Marie, and there
was a simple. inoffensive Frenchman
on the witness stand. He understood
little of the attorneys profound inter
rOgatories and gave his answers in a
confused and stammering way calcu-
lated to ruffie the sweetest temper.
Finally the attorney paused in the mid
die of his cross examination and OBJ
jectcd because the answers Of the wit
ness were not responsive. He was adj
vised by the court to couch his Ques-
tons in simpler language. Then Judge
Backus, pointing his finger at the meek
looking witness and looking him
straight in the eye. numbered:
Sir desire you to respond to my
interrogatories categorically and with
out prevarication or take the conSe-
quences"
