Il one watches the manner in which
trump declarations are managed 1t will
be evident that the old whist idea OF
leading trumps the moment the declarer
gets Into the lead. just because he IL
strong in them, still persists with the
average player.

Which to do, lead trunps or run, and
why, seems TO DO one Of the parts OF
the game that the average player never
masters.
Last week THE Bun gave n hand in
which this system of leading trumps
Immediately upon getting In. just be-
cause there we're nine between the two
hands, should have cost the player 757
points, in spite OF the fact that he had
q good plain suit to defend.

In the room, s. s. Lenz, went game or

Sportsmen throughout New York State
are not slow to recognize the fact that
there has been a great improvement In
conditions in the protection OF fish and
game and that laws are more vigorously
enforced than they were few years
back. This change is due TO the fact
that New York has In Its Conservation
Commission such irreproachable men as
Commissioner Pratt and Fish Culturist
Titcumb.
Both of these men are sportsmen at
heart and direct to the core faithful TO
their duty and obligation to the interests
OF their bro1Aers of rod and gun.
II would be hard to find the duplicate
OF such men TO supervise the great fish
and game interests In this State. for
both are without political blemish and
ambition.
Their sole object is concerted effort
to provide the vast aggregate OF sports
men the best that can be obtained and
by sincere endeavor to give square
deal to all interested, especially the man
with the rod and gun as preferential
to the whims OF the political wire puller.
When Gov. whitman was casting
