In the first place, the Bluege
committee and The Washington
Times, which has undertaken to
crystalize the Bluege spirit in
Washington, is not in sympathy
with giving ball players money in
this day and time when the gen.
eral public is economically worse
off than ball players, particularly
a ball player of Bluege's type who
has had steady employment for
a dozen years at a good salary
and who no doubt will continue
to have many similar years of de-
sirable employment.
In the second place Bluege is in

PICS PLAY.
6, P, D. TODAY .

The G. P. o. and the Dixie
Pigs baseball teams today will re-
play their hectic Monday game
which was called after three and
one-half innings had been COM
pleted. Today's game is called
for 5 o'clock on the South Ellipse.
The same two pitchers who
worked Monday for the teams
probably will pitch today. They
are Walter Beall Of the Pigs and
Pete Ingram.

Tennis Vouevs
Byrd FerneyhOugh-

Tony Latona, one of Wash
1ngton's most promising tennis
players, is barred from the
Federal Employees Tournament
with charges of professionalism.
Why? Because he takes time
and effort to show few
youngsters how to improve their
game. Certainly some one must
appreciate what Tony is trying
to do.
Tony, in trying to teach these
young players the finer points
of tennis, certainly had nothing
to gain. Their tennis was so
far below his that he was
jeopardizing his own fine game
in playing them.
Tony is young and is sure to
go far in the realms of tennis.
Tony is a grand tennis player.
He possesses one of the finest
backhands in the District, his
volleyS are deadly once he ad-
vances to the net, he is en-
doWed with a fighting spirit
that will never admit defeat.

FOUR YOUTHS
SHOW SOUND
JUDGMENT

II youth must be served, four
boys whose ages run from IL
years to IA, are due to win
tickets to the local world series.
Entries have been received by
The Washington Times Babe
Ruth contest editor from these
boys whose tender years belle
their baseball wisdom. They
have hopes of being among the
10 persons given free tickets by
The Times for approximating the
all-star team of Babe Ruth's
choice and sending a letter Of
$50 words or less detailing the
reasons for their selections.
Upon the logic in the letter will
largely depend the contestants
chance of being one of the Win
ners. This is not merely a guess
ing contest, and the baseball
knowledge and judgment shown
in the accompanying letter will
have much to 10 with the naming
of the winners.
Charles Hochgesang, Of 536
Madison st. N. W., only II years
old, mails a list made up of
Frisch, 2b.; Cronin, S.; Klein, rf.;
Foxx, 1b.; Simmons, IT,; Berger,
cf.; Bluege, 3D.; Dickey, c., and
Hubbell and Grove, pitchers.
From 12-year-old Bobby Noone,
of 1345 F. st. N. E., who said he
entered the contest last year, but
hopes to have better luck this
year, comes a team of-but let
Bobby tell it:
"Gehringer is the leading
second baSeman in either
league and is a hard hitter
and fast fielder. So that is why
I like him for his position.
CrOnin is the best ShortStOp
in the American League, de-
pendabIe hitter, fast and ac-
curate; COchrane is very
fast and a smart catcher. A
few years back he was the
leading hitter in both leagues.
Manush is a very fine and fast
left fielder; he hit safely in
33 consecutive games. There is
no one better fitted for center
field than Simmons. He is one
of the leading hitters in both
leagues. FOxx is the one l pick
for first base. He is not only
the leading hitter but batted
in nine runs to break the rec
ord. Klein is one of the best
right fielderS in the game. He
has a good strong throwing
arm. TraynOr is very suitable
man for third base and good
hitter and fast in the field.
Grove is the one for the pitch
ing with 18 wins and I losses.
CrowCer with 20 wins and IL
losses is the big gun Of the
Washington Nationals"
Hugh Keiser, jr, of 1907 Ar

In response to the one heart bid, Mir Goren bid three clubs. This showing of second suit and a jump-shift bid is mild slam try.
 West passed and North went to five clubs-another jump bid show ing extreme strength. MT Goren then bid five no trump.
 These were all very powerful bids and indicated that both part ners were endeavoring not only to reach a small slam, but grand slam. North responded with seven clubs.
 MT Goren was playing in a du- plicate match. At rubber bridge one could be satisfied to play the hand at seven clubs, as the difference between clubs and no trump is only slight. But at duplicate bridge you must not only play the hand at the maximum contract but you INSERT DIAGRAM. .... .. .. must arrive at the correct suit dec- laration. No trumps count more than clubs and MT Goren wished top on the board, so he now bid seven no trump.
 The Play
 Vests opening lead was the jack of clubs. Against seven bid, West would have been foolish to open his fourth best spade. as undoubt- edIy it would be leading directly into a tenace position held by the declarer
 With the jack and one club. he could lead the jack and not sacri- flee any card that might be in his partners hand, although both op- ponents have shown strength in clubs.

Over seventy-five tables were in play at the bridge and fashion show given last evening at the Waterbury Women's Club by the members of the Gamma Chapter of Pi Omicron Sorority.

The cartridge sleeve was an outstanding feature of many of the suits. In the sec ond group afternoon dresses were the outstanding numbers, a large selection of prints and two-tone dresses being shown. Perhaps the most appealing selection was shown at the close of the evening when the models appeared attired in the latest evening gowns. Print ed and plain organdie played a prominent part in the evening wear with many of the gowns hav- ing taffeta jackets with short puff sleeves. Following the display of wearing apparel a talk and dem- onstration of the latest styles in hairdress was given.

 L BRIDGE A " z" EXPEQTS PLAY IT ;

It is not always the best proceed ure to attack against a seven bid with your longest and strangest suit, but is sometimes better to throw the lead to the declarer and wait for developments.
 The club jack was won by MT Goren with the ace. He cashed his king of hearts and led the tenof clubs, overriding in dummy with the king. Now he tried for the heart break by playing the ace and queen, but on the second heart East showed out, discarding the deuce of diamonds.
 won by MT Goren with the eight, East and West each discarding a small spade. MT Goren cashed his ace, king and queen of diamonds and on the third diamond, West discarded another spade.
 MT Goren discarded two hearts East followed with three diamonds but now had the diamond suit stopped.
 MT Goren had a perfect count on the hand. With five spades in the VCcI hdhu dhu tnlcO lH tuc OLBtT, MT Goren reasoned that the chances were five to three that West held the king of spades, and therefore his finesse would lose, but he saw that he had a squeeze on the West hand If this were true.
 He therefore played hisnine of clubs, West was forced to discard a spade, the club was overtaken in dummy. The seven of clubs was led from dummy. the five of spades discarded by declarer and West was helpless. He could not throw the jack of hearts or dummy's ten would be good, so he let go his ten of spades.
 MrGoren's next lead ~.as the jack of spades from dummy.H went up in his own hand with the ace of spades which caught Vests king and he made his grand slam at no trump by winning the last trick with the queen of spades.
 A well played hand for top score on the board.

Secretary American Bridge League
 The foolish player plays what is termed poker brodge." While this may win on one of two hands. It will surely lose in the long run.
 The more finished player always figures the percentage of chance on a particular play. If you are going to lose more than you can win. then the odds on the play must be greatly in your favor if you are to make that play. One of the most clever percentage plays that have seen this year was played at New York by Charles H. Goren of Phil adelphia.
 The Bidding
 MT Goren in the South opened the bidding with one diamond West passed and North, his part ner, responded with one over one force, namely one heart.
