 Furthermore. while Chisholm blazed the trail which bore his name, Saunders says, 1t should have been called the Mccoy trail in honor of the man who had
 aTexas," said Saunders, "had four weli-d defined cattle trails with many intersecting them. The four main trails were the Goodnight ana Loving, the Wilson to Wil- barger, the Cameron to Montague, and the Live Oak to Kimble.

Rebiflding to Close the Contract We have concluded our discus sion of all types of opening and following bids, together with part ner's various responses, and 1t now remains to. investigate the rebids by which the contract is finally closed following an opening bid of one.

I had a Dandruff Collar for years and tried about every thing. My Hair was rapidly thinning out and the first thing I knew I had bald spot as large as a half dollar. I was desperate as I despise a bald head as does every other man. So I tried the Mitchell Medi- cated Hair oil treatment and 1t cleaned up every particle Of dandruff. To my great delight after thirty days of using this treatment hair began to come in on the bald spot and Is now completely covered with real hair.

REBIDDING HALF TRICKS

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-19

Tn the above example South holds six (6) probable tricks, but only three (3) high-card tricks, so his correct original bid is one spade. Should North assist spades once, South has two rebids and the bidding of the hand would be as follows:

to tell his partner. His first aid may have been one based on mini- mum holdings and except in situa- tion No. 4, where a game-demand take-out has been made, there Is nothing left for the opening bidder to do but pass. On the other hand, the opening bid may have contain ed more strength than the mini- mum requirements and in such circumstances the hand should be rebid.
 REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY
 FOR SUIT REBIDS
 When a player has made an opening suit bid of one and his partnef has assisted, with or with out an intervening bid by an ad- versary, he has a rebid for each probable trick he holds in excess of the number indicated by his opening bid. If he is the dealer or second hand, his opening bid indicates four f4) probable tricks and each probable trick in excess of four (4) justifes a rebid. If his opening bid Is made as third or fourth hand, each probable trick in excess of i've (5) justifies a re- bid.
 Additional high-card tricks are not necessary for rebids:

~ ILOXI, Miss, March 26.-Clark
- Griffith told me today that this
lovely city on the Gulf of Mex
leo is the best place he ever
found to train a base ball club. can
under stand that, as the weather Il
bright and warm with none of the chill
in the air which camps in other States
have experienced this season. am
told that the days here have been con-
sistently bright and fair.
I reached here in time yesterday to
see Washington play Baltimore. This Is
the third class AA team have seen
this Spring. The other big minor
league clubs saw in action were In
dianapolis and Columbus.
Baltimore Is managed by Fritz Maisel
which takes me back some years. re-
member MaiSel when he played for the
Yankees, on the old hilltop grounds in
New York. The YankS were not cham
pions then, although Clark Grifnth and
George Stallings had, on occasion, man
aged to get them very close TO the top
But they had no Babe Ruth or Gehrig
or Combs or Lazzeri. Those were the
days of Birdie Cree, Roy Hartzel, Rus
sell Ford and Jack Warhop.
All these minor league teams have
men with them who once were big leag-
uers. In fact, several managers have
complained bitterly to me that it is
hard to get the minor league clubs to
work with promising youngsters, sent
them for development. Even Al Schacht
has his ideas on the subject.
Minors After Old Timers.
"a man must come to the minors with
q good record" he says They want
players who have made good for 10 OF
Is years in the majors. think they
are developing them for coaches"
But I have seen some mighty good
looking young ball players on these
Glass IA clubs. Indianapolis has q
sweet-looking shortstop by the name
of Montague, who was with New Or
leans and got a trial with Cleveland.
1t also has big catcher, whose name
is John Riddle and who looks good.
King, second baseman for Columbus,
looks like promising youngster, and
liked the looks of Cunningham, the
third baseman. They had q pitcher
named Beckford, who looked as If he
had q lot Of stuff. If Baker ever gets
good control, he is likely to be another
good pitcher.
