pened at that cabinet meeting IN
February before we had entered the
war: President Wilson turned to me
and asked. Daniels. why have the
British not conveyed their ships?
"Tn reply l informed him. that the
policy of the British admiralty was
against the convoy; that after long
experience in the war the merchant
captains preferred to take their
chances sailing singly than in con-
voy formation. and that they regarded
it more dangerous in C-boat zones
than for each merchant ship to go
on its own. l added that some of our
naval officers of high rank held the
same view. That vas the only use
made of the word dangerous
Believed British Wrong.
The President replied that he be-
lieved the British admiralty was
wrong and those American naval off,
GERS who agreed with them were also
wrong. and that the British ouGht

A few weeks later-I think it was the
last day of March. 1917. or about that
date when, before the United States
entered the war. giving Admiral
Sims Instructions told him that
President Wilson had long believed
that the allies ought to use the con-
voy and did not agree with our own
naval officers who took the same
position that the British admiralty
and the other allies had practiced
Shortly after his arrival in London
Admiral Sims presented President
Wilson's views on the convoy system
to Admiral Jellfcoe. and a short time
thereafter the convoy system was put
in practice with good results.
Navy Dared Perils.
Our Navy placed guns on merchant
ships before the United States entered
the war. The Navy also furnished a
eunners' crew for such ships. 1t was
dangerous and the hardest sort Of
service. Neither before war was de-
clared nor during the war did I hesi-
tate to adopt and carry out any pol
icy. no matter how dangerous, that
promised protection. and the story of
how the Navy dared perils and danger
proves this statement.
The American Navy furnished the
larger part of the convoy that pro-
tected the large amount of shipping
that passed Gibraltar. and it conveyed
all its own ships across the Atlantic
after we entered the war. In fact,
American Navy. the. convoy system
could not have accomplished the re-
suits which made it successful. 1t
owed its adoption chiefly to President
Wilson, who. while observing strict
neutrality while that was the ma
tional policy. began effective prepar-
edness before we entered the war and
prosecuted it vigorously with force
to the utmost"

AUCTION BRIDGE
Written for The Topeka State Journal
BY r. F. FOSTER.
Author of Foster Auction, Auction Made Easy,
Fosters Complete Hoyie etc.

Duplicate auction is getting SO pop
ular that there are several points
which are worth considering in the
essential differences between that and
the straight rubber for a stake. y
One of hese is the fixed and in
variable value of a game. In the
ordinary rubber the first game and
the rubber game are worth a great
deal more than any others, and a par
tial score may he a help. In duplicate,
partial scores are vaiueless, and every
game won on the deal is worth an in
variable 125 points.
This allows US to calculate the diff
ference between going game and
taking penalties with great accuracy.
One condition is that if you are going
to play for penalties you must double,
to make them worth while. The rub
comes in the decision as to your
chances to make game on your own
contract. Take this case. which came
up at the Knickerbocker last April in
the duplicate game:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-10-07

dummy will never get in that ruff IL
starts right out With the trumps.
1t Is usually a pretty good rule to lead
trumps when all the other suits are
undesirable ones to lead from.
The play probably would have gone
this way: A would win the first trick
and either lead spade or try the dia-
-mond finesse. If the spade. is in
to lead another trump. Now. the dia-
mond finesse loses to the queen and
Y is in with a heart to lead a third
trump. Then he stops the diamond
lead with the ace and z makes ace of
hearts, Y trumping the jack. losins
two trumps and a diamond az the end.
When this hand was played at
spades the pair that went game did
it this way: z trumped the second club
and led a trump At some-tables he
finessed the jack. but that makes no
difference. When he finessed or put
on ace and led the jack. B won with
the king and led another club. which
trumped. If dummy had finessed a
trump lead followed; otherwise z
picked up BIS trumps.
A heart lead puts Y in to make
king and queen and lead a small dia-
mond; ace to queen. When B puts
on the king gives up the queen, as
B is marked with all diamonds and
must lead up to Us tenace in that
suit. If keeps the queen he cannot
go game.
The play when dummy finessed the
trump went another way to game. u
trumped the third club and led an
other trump to make the ace of
trumps. A small heart put q in again
to pull BIS trumps. Now the discard
of the diamond queen is not necessary,
as Y still has top heart and can get
in to make the diamond.
/ This is the solutiorNto Problem No.
1926. in which there were no trumps,
z to lead and w to win five tricks.
z starts with the ace of clubs, upon
which Y plays the ten. The seven
of clubs follows. Y playing the jack,
so as to be sure of putting B into the
lead twice in clubs, forcing him to lose
two tricks in hearts.
The discards kill AS protection in
the other suits, as it will be found
that whether E makes the top club
at once and then leads hearts. or
leads a heart and then wins club,
A will have to give q a diamond trick
or let Y make two spadeT.
If B gives up the nine of clubs on
the first trick to avoid this solution
then z follows with the four. instead
of the seven, and B wins with the
queen. putting 2 in with the seven.
In this case 2 leads the losing heart,
wins the<next trick with the ace and
again AS discards settle matters.

stance in attempting to correct a pull.
Keep the left foot well back of the
right. In fact, if the left foot Is held
well back of the right and one takes
a more upright swing he is almost
sure to stop any pull at once.
It is much easier to get pull with
the left foot ahead of the right, ana
so much easier to correct pull with
the reverse stance in order
The Pull and the Slice.
In place of going out and trying to
cure certain faults, such as slicing and
pulling, have waysthought it much
better to learn how they are made
and to make a practice at times of
, slicing and pulling on purpose as there
are many occasions when such shots
come in as handy helps.
When the hands get in ahead of the
club head it is almost a certainty that
bad slice will result.
This is one of the hardest faults in
golf to cure and it rs a fault that
kills off a lot of power.
A slight halt at the top of the swing
giving the club head chance to get
started in time, will often correct this
fault.
If you want an almost sure pull,
after taking your stance with the left
foot out ahead of the right and the
ball back nearer the left heel, then be
sure that the club head starts back
along the ground on a circde that
breaks well INSIDE of the line running
thru the ball to the pin.
This will help to insure low. flat
swing and one then has to watch AMI
see that the pull isn't too pronounced.
Many instructors also advocate hold
ing the right hand more under the
club. This will frequently help to cure
slicing. but I hardly advocate it as
steady method. A fast back swing is
also more likely to bring about a slice
than it is pull, for then the body
generally gets in ahead of the swing
and this always helps to round out a
first-class slice.
Any one who can control a slice or
pull often has a big advantage
where there are threes to play around
or where the traps are located to the
right or left of the green. If you
know for sure that a slice is coming
off, all you have to do is to aim for
the left corner Of the green and let
her fly, Neither the slice nor the pull
! is as hard to learn as so many seem
to think. A little study and~a little
practice will take care of the situation,
for either is easier to play than a
straight ball which doesn't slice or
hook

Building Up Your Game
BY JAMES M. BARNES
Former Open Golf Champion of the Z. S
Copyright 1922. New York Tribune Inc.)

There are two things to be taken
UP in connection with the pull or hook
in golf.
One is how to pull the ball when
you want to.
The other is how to correct a pull
when you want to.
The pull may get you into as much
trouble as the slice, but it isn't as big
a fault 1t means a much better hit
ball and with much more distance,
with a greater run than even a
straight ball can bring you.
One of the best ways to learn how
to correct a pull or a slice is to learn
how to play a pull or slice, ana
knowing this, applying the remedy is
simple enough.
If YOU are going out to play for a
pull, 1 would suggest the following
order:
/. Take the closed stance with the
left foot advanced slightly ahead of
the right.
2. Play the ball nearer the right
foot, instead of playing it on line
nearer the heel of the left.
3. Keep the swing fairly low and
flat, a trifle more circular than usual.
4. Be sure to let the right hand do
its part.
In curing q pull there are several
things 10 De cOnSlQeTeQ-f II may OS
that the left hand is over too far.
So try moving the left just trifle
more under the club shaft, not too
much, but enough to alter the grip a
litt1e.
You might then try lifting the club
lust a little on the back swing.
Don't let the body turn too much
and don't let the swing be too flat
Stand closer 10 the ball, using a
more upright swing.
Keep the wrists sitter when strik-
ing and don't let the right hand turn
over so much. Also grip very lightly
with the right hand.
Let the left arm do most of the
work lin going thru.
Don't check the club head, but
swing well after the ball, letting the
hands finish high.
A round flat swing with too much
turn of the club head causes a very
bad pull.
A stiff. upright swing-with little roll
of the club head when striking the
ball and very little turn of the body
causes a bad slice.
And what causes a slice will nat
urally always correct what develops a
pull.
It is also better to use a more open

suit that the contract was set for 800

either z or 7 went on to four spades.
and at one table they made five,
against bad play. scoring 206 points;
now reckoned as 210, to make it even
figures for the final addition of tho
scores.
At one table, went to five clubs,
over the four spades, and went down
400. At another he doubled the four
spades, and lost an additional 100
points.
Here is the play at one table when

Y led the king of hearts, on which

next led the trump, and dummy put

queen and led another trump, which
A won, giving dummy a ruff on the
third heart.
Dummy then led a spade. which
went to the jack, and Y came thru
with a small diamond, dummy putting
on the king and leading a spade,
which A trumpet. A diamond, thru
Y, went to rs queen and the ace of

make is his two top trumps, as he
must lose a diamond, getting rid
of one on the ace of hearts.

he has not seen the Aggies in action

They are fast and shifty, and play a
