strong enough to suggest that must
have had at least one honor in hearts
and. altho B may be very long in that
suit, his re-entry is doubtful as n is a
very sound bidder.
Figuring it out this way and not
thinking much of the chances for
game in a minor suit, clubs, if both
two no-trumps. On the play the dis
cards by B on the clubs and dia-
monds having marked him with some
projection worth keeping in spades,
u took a chance and finessed the spade
jack, which was very bad play but
for the fact that B had only one heart
left. This gave z five-odd and game
-215 points, with the 40 aces.
At the fifth table Y figured things
out the same way but came to an
entirely different conclusion. He let
the double stand and they set the
heart contract for 400, less ga honors;
net gain S34 points, the top score on
the deal. This in spite fof BIS good
play in leading spades until he got in
one of dummy's trumps.
This is the solution of Problem No.

z to lead and w to win four tricks.
z starts with the heart ace IL a
plays small z leads the diamond, and
then the small heart. If B now leads
club ace Y sheds a diamond and
the smaller club A wins it and Y dis
cards a spade, making a heart and a
diamond. If B leads the ace of spades
instead of the clubs, and then puts A
in with the club nine. Y sheds the
king of spades.
Should B give up the king of hearts
on the first trick z leads another
heart at once. Y wins and leads dia-
mond seven, z returning a club and
7 discarding heart. Whether B lets
AS tack of clubs hold
he cannot prevent from making the
essential fourth trick.
An origina- diamond opening will
not solve, as B will then throw the
king of heart. under the act. In the
second variation, B throwing in the
heart king, If u leads a third round
of hearts at the fourth trick A de-
feats the solution by leading the club
and forcing Y to discard before B
does so.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-U. P)-
Pabe Ruth's collapse as the champion
swatter and the dismal rout of the
New York Yankees in the worlds ser
les were the outstanding events in
1922 baseball.
General prosperity was reported in
most of the major and minor league
clubs, although some of the eastern
teams in the major leagues did not
Profit as they did in 1921.
Miserable weather in the carry part
of the season had much to do with it
and there is no doubt that the absence
of Babe Ruth during the time he was
under suspension hurt the american
League.
From a National League standpoint.
the worlds series was a great sue
cess in as much as it was such II glor-
ious victory for the Giants, who were
looked upon as easy meat for the
Hanks by most of the experts.
For the business offices of the two
clubs, the series was a big bust and
both teams lost money. The receipts |
CT the tie game, approximately $121,- |
ou0 were turned over to charity by |
Commissioner Landis and it was one |
of the best days of the series. !
While it was a heavy loss to the |
clubs, the action of Lands was one of |
the best things that could have been |
Ione for baseball. as it stopped lot |
of talk about commerciaization of the
series.

mond in the last season. familiar
faces will be found in most of the
