"Sure it's myself. I had to
rent this darn-fool costume or
they wouldn't let me in! Not
a word to anybody, remember"
We'll be therein 10 min

breathed Laurel.
Diaz was dancing with a
lady Of uncertain years. The
man in the monks robe and
cowl went directly up to him.
The Monk Interrupts
He was sorry to have to in.
terrupt, he said. It was a very
important matter, and he was
sure the lady would pardon
him?
II don't know who you are"
began Diaz hotly-but there
was something in the expires
sion Of that mouth and chin
jutting from the half-drawn
cowl, that stopped him.
"I'll have to see what this
fellow wants, and then I shall
cme right back to you, madam"
He bowed his partner into
her loge. and turned with an
i'll grace to the detective.
well, what is it?"
1--WE can't talk here. I
would like you to come up
stairs"
"The hell I will" Diaz was
alarmed now. He had a
"premonition"
Where had he seen what he
could see Of this red face, be-
fore? What disagreeable mem.
ory did it bring back to him?
The man jerked back the edge
of his robe. God! he saw a
badge" CLEAN!
One Of his pals had warned
him to keep away from here
tonight! But with diamonds
sparkling like raindrops every
where: it had been too, TOO
tempting!
FLIGHT! He must make a
quick dash for it.
But the detective was quicker.
With a wonderful twist (born
Of long practice) and unseen
by anyone on that crowded
ballroom floor, he has clicked
a handcuff on the wrist of
Diaz!
you've a helluva nerve"
spluttered the captured South
American. But his face had
turned pea-green. And his legs
were trembling under him.
"Take it easy now, and no
body will notice anything"
grinned the detective.
The two men walked across
the floor, very close together
and talking in what seemed to
be a friendly manner.
They got into an elevator.
Presently, with his free right
hand, the detective put the key
in the lock of room 1927.
They went inside. Before un-
fastening the handcuff that
united them. the man slipped
a hand all over Diaz's person.

And with that he flung off
the monks robe and cowl.
Diaz, temporarily let loose,
glared at the speaker.
II do not understand what
you can mean"
Come off it, Diaz! know

Story Of Pretty Girl in Whom Burne
the Flame of a Great Emotion
Contract
Bridge
BY E. v. Shepard

Psychics, sometimes spelled
sycics, are bids Of misleading
character, intended to accom-
plish some definite and use
full purpose through their psy'
Geological effect upon one or
both opponents. Their most
common purpose is to lure an
opponent into a bad bid, a
losing lead or a poor play,
through q misconception con-
corning where the psychic bid
der's strength really lies.
Like nearly every other fea-
ture of the game, the idea Is
very old. Under other names,
various players in the past
have developed more or less
perfect systems of utilizing
these bids, sometimes to their
great advantage. Contract
Bridge has produced a brand
of psychics unknown to Auc-
ton players-bids more puz-
zling for opponents and more
dangerous for partners. Pushed
beyond reason, this style of
bidding becomes a nuisance,
and the inveterate psychic bid
der is regarded as a pest by
many partners. For those rea-
sons many clubs frown upon
the use Of misleading bids.
The following notice, posted by
the Knickerbocker Whist Club,
December "a, 1881, expresses
the sentiment felt in many
other card circles:
'NOtice to Psychic Bidders"
Many players object to the
use by their partners of Psy-
chic Bids, and in such cases
uncompensated losses which re-
suit shatter the partnership
morale and cause feelings of
annoyance. Complaints having
been made, the board of trus-
tees requests that every mem
ber refrain from making bids
which could be classified as
psychics, whenever there is
the possibility that his partner
might object and particularly
when playing, as a partner,
with a new member, or with
a guest Of the club.
Because of the difficulty of
defining and always identify
ing psychic bids, the board
relies upon the courtesy of
members to observe this request
in the spirit and for the
purpose of which it is made"
In the majority Of cases,
psychic bids produce no result
not obtainable by standard bid
ding. Many of our most clever
advocates of this type Of bid
have stated that they are con-
vinced that they are almost
useless against a pair bidding
upon values held; that their
most effective use is against
other psychic bidders; that in
the long run. except to stop
bids for slams (and not even
that against feature shoWers),
it is a question whether psychics
do not lose more points than
they win.

HOLY CROSS FACES BOSTON COLLEGE

Worcester, November 22-Act- ing Head Coach Arthur ("BunnyD Corcoran, directing the fortunes of the Holy Cross, football squad dur inp. the suspension period of Cap tain John J. McEwan. head coach, started yesterday in the final drive to mold the fading Crusaders into d winning combination against Boston college here Saturday ar ternoon. Corcoran rested the first-string linemen today ana worked a reserve group out front of the regular backf1eld candidates. Today he sets sail with all the trapping and stuff and has plans for a busy week ahead, though he stated last night that he would not hold any scrimmage sessions
 Capt Ryan Lost
 The Crustades as they showed against Harvard and Manhattan will probably be the starting group against Boston college, as Cor. coran indicated that there would be no shifting as a result or Lne performances of the players Tn the two games they have played under his command. Captain Jim Ryan, right tackle, hurt in the openlns contest of the season and unIii yesterday believed to be Q p0ssl- ble starter against Boston college will not play, according to an. nouncement. He is definitely out of the picture.
 Ali of which brings forcibly to Home city readers the captalncs cs If the 1892 Crusaders. At the election time last year, Tim Mur- rav was thought to be the strong esf candidate for the position. but somehow or other Ryan just broke under the wire ahead of Tim Eowever.

Both teams are unbeaten and united, but the Bruins have tottered on the brink of defeat at least twice. Moreover, Colgate boasts the best record of any college team in the country, having rolled up 243 points in eight games without having a singe point tailed against it. Brown has totalled 81 points in seven games while opposing teams have scored 21.
 Schedules Differ
 The two elevens are not a sum- evenly matched, however, as these figures would indicate because Colgate's eight opponents did not average up to the strength of Browns seven, which included Yale, Harvard, Holy Cross and Columbia. Four of Colgate's op- ponents were fair teams, however New York university, Lafayette, Penn State and Syracuse.
 Syracuse held Columbia to a scoreless tie Saturday on muddy field, which probably served as an equal handicap for both elevens. Brown managed to beat Columbia 7-6, after being outplayed by the Lions in every department of the game.
 Brown has gained many support CTS because it came from behind to beat Holy Cross and Columbia with long marches when the game was nearly finished.
 In Colgate's last five games the Maroons have made S4 first downs to their opponents 15, gained 1,- 344 yards by rushing to their op- ponents 203 and advanced 439 yards by forward passes to the op- positions 148.
 Figures
 Brown, in it's last four games, has made only A first downs while opposing elevens made A. The Bruins covered $40 yards by rush. ing against 456 for their enemies, but they gained only 181 yards on forward passes, while rivals cov- cred 338.
 These figures would, indicate that Colgate is far stronger both on land and in the air. But the

Brown Bears have the uncanny ability of punching their yardage gains into long marches of 60, 70 and 80 yards for touchdowns. The Bruins, after keeping to the ground most of the season, suddenly went into the air against Holy Cross in the closing minute of play and marched 85 yards to a touchdown on straight passing.
 Fancy Stuff
 Colgate with it's bag of improved Warner tricks, and Brown with it's triple wing back deviation from the aWrner system, depend almost as much on deception as on sheer power.
 Just as both are strong on attack they also seem stronger on defense. Colgates uncrossed goal stripe is evidence of this, and likewise Browns stone wall stands within a few feet of their goal line against Columbia and Yale. Colgate seems to have a slight edge in this de- partment also.

 an anchorman must have; Gerillo he sent to the bushes, this
 boy was. once his bowling ace, Frank Byrnes he then grabbed up
 to use in Gerillo's place.
 Why the "Combos" were set 3
 points back is now no mystery For their gallant Captain Colucci
 rolled just seventy.
 Louie Scappini who thinks that the depression wOuld be somewhat alleviated, as far as the chirop0d- lStn 6EC COuCCEucus H lsS AuOA Primo Camera would only develop athletes foot tone would be plenty) was the big factor why Joe Galipeau's 'sSerenaders' were slap ped down 3 points by Jimmy Pray's Silent Five. Louie who used to be one of the leagues leading bowling lights had the old sphere working in old time form. If he keeps up the good work he will be easing his pal "Bennah GOldstein'' out of his anchOr job on the Pray aggregation.
 Eddie Imbert's last weeks scores indicate that he is overcoming some of the problems that go with this alley game. We have heard he intends to master this game even if he compeils the alley managers to keep open overtime. Probably the experience gained in throwing fast ones by the batters will help you, Ed.
 The attendance prize this week was won by that super.salesnan from Seymour, Johnny West. In- cidenta1ly this same MT West is . hMlkAhAy AAMyEOtCU WVWACr tAhAS S<ka a- son, his high scores being one of the chief reasons that the Cow boys" are leading the way.
