The hand I present today pro- duced quite discussion among the four who played it. The man who held the 150 aces said that the hand should be played at no trump, while his partner, with the five spades, claimed that it should be played at spades.
 Five spades is an easy contract. hree no trump also can be made
 h a heart opening, which was lat the player received. However,
 had to be especially careful in tying the hand.
 The jump to three no trump over one spade was a definite slam y, but North did not feel justi- d ill going any higher.

"Spools" Draws Laughter And Applause From Audi ence; Players Will Appear In "Fair And Warmer

Laughs drawn out of a large au- dience by clever. intrinsic acting, featured the presentation of the mystery play "Spooks" by the Manhattan Players last evening at the Waterbury Women's club. Leaving little for their listeners to imagine, the. enire cast produced splended bits of stage performance which surpassed by far their pre- vious presentations.
 As usual. the pleasant, easy going parsonage, Frank Lyon, was outstanding in the work accom- plished in his leading role. The earnestness with which he por- trayed the character of Douglas Blackwell, one of the heirs to an estate left in a freak will by an

Reol BAYER Aspirin Starts Taking Hold Minutes

Here is quicker relief from pain-the fastest safe relief, it is said, ever known. This is due to a scientific discovery by which BAYER Aspirin starts taking hold" of pain few minutes after taking.
 The illustration of the glass here tells the story.A Bayer tablet starts to disintegrate or dissolve-go to work --almost instantly. This means quick relief from pain-fewer lost hours from headache, neuritis. rheumatism. And safe relief. For genuine Bayer Aspirin does not harm the heart.
 When you buy, see that you get the genuine Bayer Aspirin. The best way is never to ask for aspirin by the name aspirin" alone. But if you want Bayer Aspirin's quick relief always to say PAYER Aspirin"

old uncle, received much commen- dation from the audience. The fact that throughout the play he keeps up a stuttering dialect at times when he becomes nervous or up- set, provided the greater portion of the laughter during the play.
 Roger Beirne, who runs close to Frank Lyon, in the favor of To- cal audiences, surprised many last |evening by transforming himself greatly by dexterous makeup, into the role of the old skeleton like secretary of the deceased man. So realistic were his actions that even his own death seemed a reality for few seconds after the curtain closed upon the firlt act.
 Peggy Coudray and Grace Car ney, again appearing opposite Frank Lyon and John Hampshire were pleasing in the parts of the other two benefactors of the will. Retaining the suave manner which has been characteristic of him in his past appearances. John Hamp- shire won much admiration for his portrayal of the fourth heir to the estate.
 Perhaps their. vast stage exper- fence was responsible for the fine portrayal of characters by J. Har- rison Taylor and Emma DeWeale, who in the roles of colored people were highly instrumental in work ing out the theme of the play. A new character to local circles was introduced when Miss Ruth Colin appeared as a nurse and supplied a sufficient amount of talent to complete the well-cast presenta- tion.. Roy Berkeley again appeared this week, taking the part of the messenger.
 The imaginary way in which each arrival knocks on the "door which isn't there" and the manner in which they are admitted was an appreciative note in the minds of the audience.
 The players will present the play again this evening and on next Monday and Tuesday evenings will be seen in 'Fair and Warmer"

Venzke's Coach
Awaits Showing
Tomorrow

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Gene
Venzke's showing in the 1900
meter run at the A. A. U. Ma
tional Championships at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night
will determine whether the Penn
star will participate in the 1900
meter run or the 3,0O0-meter test
at the intercollegiate A. A. A. A.
title meet on March 5, his coach,
Lawson Robertson, announced
today.
Venzke's great showing against
Bill Bonthron, of Princeton, and
Glenn Cunningham, of Kansas, in
the Baxter mile at the New York
A. C. games last Saturday has
created a great deal of interest
in his second meeting with the
famous pair in 1,5O0-meter event
tomorrow. Prior to Saturday no
one gave Venzke a chance against
either Bonthron or Cunningham,
but his remarkable showing
against them-he was beaten to
the tape by less than three feet
has caused the experts to re-
wise their opinion of his ability.
Should Venzke beat both Cum
bingham and Bonthron, or even
defeat one of them tomorrow
night it seems fairly certain he
will stick to the 1,500-meter dis
lance. A bad setback, however,
would probably result in his
switching to the 3,000-meter race.

KICKING LOSES
FOR DUSEk
No fair, kicking.

No fair, kicking.
That's always been a rule in
athletic contests and it ofttlmes
is observed in wrestling-ofttimes.
but not all Of the time.
At any rate 1t was observed last
night at Joe Turner's mat show at
the washington Auditorium as Joe
Malcewicz, favorite with the fans,
won a decision from Ernie Dusek
because the latter kicked!
The bout lasted almost an hour.
During the early going Malcewicz
had all the better of the graphing,
and Dusek in an attempt to drive
through to a sudden and unex-
pected finish dropped his foot into
Malcewicz' groin which left the
latter ON the canvas in pain.
Dusek was quickly disqualified
and Malecwicz awarded the YER
dict. This led to a commotion
from several enraged fans who
started storning the ring to get at
Dusek.
Police quelled the impending
disorder and escorted Dusek from
the ring while the crowd departed
slowly, but with strong words
against a wrestler who had almost
put their favorite - Malcewicz-
out of commission,
Paul Bosch defeated the Masked
Marvel again in 3212 minutes.
The Marvel was unmasked in this
bout and told the world that he
wasn't Lee Collins, of San Fran
cisco, but somebody else, he
wouldn't say who.

last night for Boston where they

Vines. who is again being hailed
as the worlds foremost tennis
player, was extremely well pleased
with his smashing victories over
both Cochet and Plaza. Vines
says:

a game better than when 1 lost
to Tilden in my first prOfeS-
SiOnal match. Even when I am
behind, as 1 was when 1 trailed
Plaza by O-3, I have that feel
ing of aSSurance-that I am
going to win. Of course, but I
no longer become flighty, as /
did when I was an amateur. I
have learned a lot and steadied
down q lot in the past month"
Vincent Richards, a fellow pro,
who watched Vines against the
Frenchman, observed:
BETTER AS PRO
wines has every trick and
every shot in the game, with
one exception. His weakness is
a low shot to his backhand. He
tries to take it standing up
and he can't. That may prove
his undOing in a match some
day, but on the whole he is
better than he ever was as an
amateur"
