CHICAGO. Feb. 28-With Ohio
State back with a virtual strangle-
hold on the Big Ten basketball
championship the prospect Of new
high scoring mark by Joe Reiff of
Northwestern remained the most
important business in concluding
stages of the conference cage play.
The Buckeyes, after losing to Iowa
last week, showed titular form
against Purdue at Lafayette Mon

State has nine victories and one
defeat. Games against Wisconsin
at Columbus and Indiana at Bloom

Win Nine, Lose Two
Northwestern defeated Indiana on
Monday night at Evanston, As to 80,
with a second half attack. The
Wildcats own nine victories and two
defeats, and will close their Big Ten
season at Minnesota Saturday night.
Iowa hammered out a 30 to 81
victory over Illinois at Iowa City to
retain third place, and Michigan
held fourth place by defeating Min
nesota at Ann Arbor Il to 10.
Joe Gets Is Points
Joe Reiff added fifteen points
against Indiana to run his to-

But the astute Babe did net share
the general belief that he was a
miracle man capable of transform
ing a squad of diamond cast-offs
into first division team. He had
no desire to enter the depressing
FenWay picture.
S250,OO0 for Players
However, next year the Boston
picture will be different. YaWkey's
millions will provide at least $780,
900 to be spent Immediately to pur-
chase first-class players, and Yaw-
key has Eddie Collins, formerly Con-
ME Mack's right-hand man, to Sc
lect these players.
Last season, Ruth admitted frank
ly he was considering closing his
career with the Yanks at the end
of the 1888 campaign, permitting
him at the age of 40 in 1884 to be-
come manager of some other
big league team. He said then he
was not considering Boston serious
ly. But the baseball fraternity be-
lieves now the Bambino is giving
more thought to Red SoX possib ili-
ties next year than to the SIS, 900
salary cut offered by the Yanks.
McManus Keeps Job
When Bob Quinn and his associ-
ates transferred the Boston club to
Yawkey and Collins last Saturday
for something like S1,000,000, with
Collins named vice president, there
was considerable surprise that
Marty McManuS remained as man
ager. However, this is regarded by
observers as the tipof that Ruth is
virtually certain to step in next
year.
1t is believed that the acquisition
of Pitcher George Earnshaw from
the Athletics will be the first step
toward building up the club which
hasn't won a pennant since Ed
Barrow, present business manager
of the New York Yankees, piloted
it to the world championship in
1918.
Other big-time players will be
acquired, because Yawkey and Col
Inns know it was lack of first class
players that kept the SoX down at
the bottom.

If he plays the small spade and

will make two spade tricks. There

SENATE PASSES
BILLS TAKING
INTANCIBLES
Three Measures Rushed to
MCNutt: Expected to
Raise Millions.

Another new set Of tax laws af-
fecting intangibles today is on the
way to Governor Paul V. McNutt
for approval. The laws are expected
to raise 100000 annually.
Acting under rules suspension late
Monday night, the Indiana senate
in rapid order passed the three
companion bills sponsored by the
administration and spasSed by the
lower house last week.
One bill levies a tax Of cents
on each $50 worth of intangibles
other than shares of stock in banks
and building and loan associations.
Deposits also are excepted. The
taxes will be paid through revenue
stamps.
Another measure imposes a tax of
% cents on each 500 of shares of
bank stock and deposits in banks.
All other taxes on stock and de-
posts are eliminated.
The third bill levies a tax of 25
cents on each 500 of shares of
stocks in building and loan asSocia-
tons and repeats the present law
that allows deductions for debts
owed to such associations before re-
turning taxable intangibles. No
other taxes on the same shares of
stock are to be levied
Through an amendment offered
by Senator George Sands dem,
South Bend, and supported by
senators from the larger counties,
the proceeds of the tax on in
tangibles are to be credited back to
the various counties in the same
proportion as real estate taxes are
under existing laws.
Senator Elias c. SWihart Dem.
Elkhart), was the only member of
the upper house to take the floor
against the bills. Swihart claimed
the laws would fail to produce the
revenue as obtained under present
laws.
He maintained consistent
attitude throughout consideration CT
the three measures and cast the
only negative votes.

He holds nothing but spades and

If West leads the spade, the Bath
coup play can be completed and the
declarer will win two spade tricks

not actually produce the extra trick

The contract for the Cox-Alva-

40 pounds, and a forfeit has been
posted by Tracy's manager, but it is
not considered likely that Cox can
get down to 40.
Moreover, it was rumored around

Z VISITED rather unusual club
l. in st. Petersburg, Fla, the Lawn
Bowling Club.
However, they bowl on the sand
down there instead of the grass.
Over. the clubhouse fly two flags
the American and the Canadian.
One year they elect an American
president and the next Canadian
is chosen.
After trying to hit the elusive
kitty with one of those lopsided
bowling balls, decided to confine
my efforts strictly to bridge.
This years president, Charles
Gordon Of Toronto, Canada, asked
me if contract players ever en-
ployed the play known as the Bath
coup.
This is play that was popular
among whist players and received
its name from the Bath Club Of
London, England.
I explained that this play seldom
could be used in contract, due to
the fact that the opening leader
would not continue with his suit
unless receiving a come-on card
from partner. However, I recall
the following interesting hand which
employed this particular play:
The Bidding
The bidding on the hand should
be as follows: South should open
with one heart. North, the partner,
is justified in raising the contract
to two hearts.
He does not have any ruffing pos
sibilities, although he does have
four trump; however, he holds an
ace and a queen in addition to the
four trumps.
This is all the information that
South should need to bid four
hearts.
