TINE table sent out by Willis o.
l. Hunter as guide in making
out applications for trip ex-
penses listed, for instance, the 100
yard dash at 81 seconds. In 1927
the race was won in SO seconds.
Thirteen feet six inches was sug-
gested as the pole vault mark which
would identify a competitor capable
of making a showing in the meet at
the Memorial Coliseum, where the
1882 Olympic games were held. Yet
in 1927 a leap of l3 feet crowned
w. H. Droegemueller of Northwestern
the champion.
The shotput is listed at 48 feet,
the discus throw at las and the ham,
mer toss at l60, all of which are
superior to the winners marks in
that meet of 1927.
The table will not be strictly ad-
hered to, of course, but the present
competitive trend would indicate even
better marks will be necessary to earn
free transportation to the meet. 1t
is Southern California's plan to select
the three or four best competitors in
each event on the basis of their marks

Contract Bridge
BY w. E. MKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League


TRUMP management is the most
Il difficult part of the play Of the
hand to learn. Should you lead
trump Should you cross-ruff the
hand out? or should you establish
a side suit?
All these should be given conSid-
Grafton before playing a card. The
key of most difficult hands usually
depends upon how successfully you
manage the trump situation.
J. c. George, one of the OutStand-
ing bridge players Of Cleveland,
gave a good demonstration of trump
management in today's hand, when
he successfully completed his con-
tract of six spades doubled.
East's opening lead was the jack
of hearts, which was won in dummy
with the ace. A small club was re-
turned, West played the ten, and
Mr.. George, in the North, won the
trick With the ace. He returned
the jack of diamonds, East covered
with the queen, dummys king was
played, and West won the trick
with the ace.
If West now returns a spade, the
contract will be defeated. However,
West had one trick in and was too
eager to try to make a trump trick,
so he made the mistake of return
ing the three of clubs, which Mr..
George won in dummy with the
jack.
The deuce of diamonds was re-
turned and won by Mr.. George with
the ten.
AIOW q small diamond was
IN played and trumped in dummy
with the seven of spades. The king
of hearts in dummy was cashed
next and the king of clubs discarded
by declarer.
The queen Of clubs was played
from dummy and West. with his five
trump. was helpless. If he trumped
with the eight of spades, declarer
would overtrump.

Japan and Britain Far Ahead,
Annual Supply Bill Re-
port Reveals
BY International News Service

Moderate expansion for the
Navy, which includes 1880 addi.
tional enlisted men and 1000
more in the Marine Corps, was
recommended to the House today
by the Appropriations Committee
in reporting the annual supply
bill.
The measures carries an ap-
parent reduction Of $23,922.318-
from $3O8, ,669, 1862 to $284,747,-
244-but the committee explained
that comparison fails to present a
true picture.
Cost Increased
Actually, the committee report
ed, cost Of the Navy will rise
from 1872 million this fiscal year
to 457 million in the year begin
ming July l. This comparison in
cludeS amounts to be spent from
the public works building pro-
gram grant Of 238 million in both
years.
Testimony disclosed the united
States will be far behind both
Great Britain and Japan in
reaching limits Of the London
treaty by December 81, 1896.
The American Navy Is being
expanded faster than either the
British or japanese, but it is
relatively tagging behind both.
Unused Balance
Unused balances will actually
permit expenditure Of 81 million
more for naval operation and the
remainder Of the huge increase
is made up by public works
funds.
Funds in addition to the pub
lie works grant are provided for
continuing building of one air
craft carrier, seven cruisers, two
submarines and IL destroyers.

Of poison in a whisky highball?
The State today, arraigning the
woman on a charge Of murder,
asserted she did.
Pale from the effects Of an
illness that caused a judge to
order her released on $4,000
bond, stood before the bar today
and reasserted her innocence Of
the accusation the surgeon is
said to have whispered as he lay
dying.

She must go on trial next Mon.
day for her life.
If a jury decides she placed bi
chloride of mercury in a high
ball given the surgeon at a fare

keep him from returning to his
divorced wife, she faces the pos
sibility Of death on the gallows.
Before death sealed the sur

He visited her apartment and
drank several highballS. In one
he said he detected a metallic
taste" which he said he recognized
as bichloride of mercury.
He said he left the apartment
hastily and administered treat
ment, but it was too late. Sub
sequent treatments failed &c

son, he said.
