Pick the Suit (Shown by
Partner You Can Best
Support.
BY Milton G. Work

The pointer for today is
After two suits have been shown
by your partner--the higher-valued
flrst-choose whichever you can
support the better.
When the bidding has been: Dealer
South one Spade, West pass, North
pass, East two Clubs, South. two
Hearts. West pass; the most simple
position presents itself for North to
show whether he prefers Spades or
Hearts. II be have three Spades
and two Hearts, he should bid two
Spades over his partners two
Hearts; with three Hearts and two
Spades he should show his Heart
preference by passing. The bid Of
two Spades under such conditions
would not constitute a raise; equally
with the pass Of the two Hearts
It would show merely the preference
Of the bidder. But II West had bid
three Clubs after South's two
Hearts. a bid by North OF either
Hearts or Spades would be a raise.
With xxx in one suit and XXX in
another, the choice is obvious. Tho
suit I'm which the partner is the
longer will almost surely work much
better than the suit in which the
partner Is the shorter. and the choice
should he made accordingly unless
the opportunity to make it be shut
out by a bid by the Intervening
rrft.- -. gaA Ill
ers find It difficult to choose arises
when the choice is between three
cards IN one suit and two IN another
the latter a little stronger. For ex-
ample, XXX In one suit and Jack-x
OF Queen-x in the other; under such
conditions trump length IN Dummy
is the desideratum, and consequently
the longer SUIT should be chosen.
The following example show the
proper infereuces to be drawn:
Round South West North East
I. Spade Clubs Pass Pass
2. 2 Hearts Pass Pass
North. choosing between the two
Majors, prefers Hearts.
Round South West North East
1. Spade Clubs Pass Pas
2. 2 Hearts Pass 2 Spades
North. choosing between the two
Majors. prefers Spades; the bid
desfgnates preference but is no
raise.
Round South West North East
L. I SPADE Pass Pass . els
2. Hearts Clubs Hts.
North prefers Hearts and has
raise.

Japan Should Be Called to
Witness Stand in FALL
Doheny Case,
BY NJ. K. Tracy

Japan should be called as the next
witness. in the F'all-Doheny case.
Testimony thus far brought out sug-
gests. that she is responsible for
most of the trouble.
Admiral Robson, 1t would seem,
told Doheny how Japan was max
ing faces at us and the latter got
SO excited about it that he took a
lease and a contract that will net
him a hundred million.
If Japan really did make faces,
she is a double-dyed villain and ought
to be exposed as such. If she did
not, she has been grossly Hbeled.

Sane Saving

Meanwhile, let it not be forgotten
that Mr.. Doheny saved two countries
instead of one.
He not only took the job of Inn
proving Pearl Harbor as. an Ameri-
can patriot, but loaned President
Oregon $1O,OOO,OO0 with which to
crush the De la Huerta rebellion as
a loyal Mexican.
His standing with both govern
ments ought to make him an excel
lent peacemaker, and that seems to
be the crying need right now.

A fighting New Britain High school baseball team led for the first time this season by it's captain, Tim Claire, played far better than was expected of it by it's most loyal root CTS and defeated the Hartford Public High school team at St. Mary's field yesterday afternoon. The score was New Britain 5, Hartford 1.
 As was predicted so often this week. the addition to the lineup Of Captain Claire who occupied the right field position, and Tom weston who hoycred about second base made a world of difference in the teams play The nine seemed to have the old confidence and for the first time this season they forgot to commit their usual quota of 'honers,
 "Huggy" Carlson pitched a steady brand of ball but what made the difference between victory and de- feat was the fact that his teammates gave him some excellent support Alert at all times, they cut off sev- eral dangerous situations by watch ing for their opportunities. In the first inning three Hartford men who had fallen asleep were picked off the bases by snappy throws, Carl son to Brombere and Carlson to Weston. The latter trick was per formed twice.
 In the third inning Deegan, hard clouting Centerfielder of the Hart ford team hit 10 right center for three bases, but was left stranded when two of his teammates popped weakly to the inficld and a third fell for Carlson's slants. This was the only extra base hit scored off "Huggy's" delivery.
 Toward the latter pat of the game the Hartford crew started to "burn up" when they faced defeat. | The players, led by "Dazzy'' Farrell, lthe pitcher. and Deegan, blamed everything and everybody and start ed 10 kick against the decision of Umpire Larry Mangan. Deegan was on the verge of being put out of the game several times but his teammates took him into camp until he cooled off.
 Weston in his first game played a wonderful defensive game picking them up at second with ease and covering the bag perfectly. He, witt
 Fengler in center, and Charlow ir
 left, were the fielding stars. Garrison
 was the batting king with two safe
 ties out of four times at bat.
 New Britain started the fireworks in the first inning. Fengler strucl
 out but the Hartford catcher drop
 ped tha ball and Al landed safel,
 at first. Zalespi placed a perfec bunt and not only got his teammat'
 down to aecond but reached frs safely. Weston sacrificed both t
 second and third respectively. On out Charlow hit long fly to righ
 bringing Fengler in. Claire up. H. met one of Farrell's curves and belt
 ed a triple into right center tiel' that scored Zaleski, This ended tn | action for this inning.
 Hartford collected it's contribution
 in the third when Farrell hit : safety. stole second and on a mix-u of signals, Carlson threw wild t 1 center allowing Farrell 10 score iron } second. This time and the time Dee l gan hit triple were the only time r a Hartford runner reached thir = base. If Hartford had not gotte t this break, Carlson would have bee 1 credited with q ShOt -Out

PITCHERS BATTLE IN CHURCH LEAGUE
Two Close Games Played With

Church League Standing

The Trinity Methodists and St. Matthew's German Lutherans kept their slates clean last night in pair of remarkably well played ga mes in the Inter-Church baseball league. The Methodists took the South church into camp, to l, i'll an exceptionally clean game, the South church playing the entre con- test without an error and the Meth odists not booting one until Shcp- ard dropped q throw with two out lin the ninth. Jones three-bagger in the first inning started the first run Of the winners while two more came in in the fourth when Landlno smashed q. homer into left field alter Gailbraith had walked. A succession of four hits scored another pair in the final inning. Meanwhile Alden Hewett. who shut out the Blue army without hit. was keeping up his good work, retiring the south church in order for five innings Bob Clark made the first hit off his delivery in the sixth and Washburn followed with another. but Clark was forced at third and the next i-wo batters were retired. Bell +friple and Al Havlick's inheld out scored the losers only run in the final frame. .-,

HARVARD STADIUM
 SCENE OF MATCHES
300 Athletes Waiting for First
 Gun This Afternoon

Cambridge, Mass, May 28 CP' - Half thousand athletes stalwart representatives of 32 American col Ieges. were on their marks in the Harvard stadium today waiting for the gun to start the 50th annual l. C. A. A. A. A. track and field games. The meet gives every prom ise of proving q htting observance of the associations half-century Of existence.
 This afternoon was to be given over to the preliminary trials starting at three o'clock. They will determine in great part the winner Of tomorrow's finals. The meet has taken on the aspects of "big three" duel The casts hopes rest on the ability of Harvard, Yale or Princeton. it's outstanding track teams Of the year. while the Pa ci(lc is equally confident that iis in vading warriors wearing the let ters of California, Stanford or Southern California, will win thelr fifth meet in six starts.
 Experts generally concede that Southern California, which won the 1925 meet at Philadelphia with @3 ! points. had the greatest chance ot l taking this years honors. Its fel- , low wcsterners, California, which defeated Princeton in dual meet q, week ago, and Stanford, which won the Pacific coast conference meet, were also hopeful Of taking this years crown.
 Harvard. oi all the entered eastern teams, had the best chance Of keep ing the title on the Atlantic. Coach Eddie Farrell will enter his men in but one event each, as against the western plan of doubling up" con- testants. Al Miller, the Crimson Ihopo in the dashes. will be the only exception to this plan.
 With pleasant weather, many rec ords should fall by the way, both this afternoon and tomorrow. The Olympic champion, Captain Bud Houser of the L. s. C., aims to shat ter the existing shot put and discus records. He has done better thar the existing marks for both distances this spring.
 Lee Barnes, also of |. S. C. Is an ] other whose name may be WIT upon the record page. The recor( for the pole vault is 1 8 feet 1 inch , held by Robert Gardner of Yale Barnes already has done 13.6 th . wear. while his closest competitor Sabin Carr of Yale, who may pres him for first place honors ha reached 13.3.
 Miller. Frank Hussey of Bosto' college. Russell of Cornell, Phi Barber of California Horshcl Shit of southern California and his team mate. Edgar House, should make tn 100 ward dash the most interestin event of the day.
 The jarelin record of l99 feet
