FEARED LOST
IN BOSTON
BLAZE
By GINO SINH

The American flag John L.
Sullivan, Boston's immortal ring
champion, wore around his
shoulders when he fought Char
ley Mitchell, of England, at Criel,
France, on March 10, 1888, Is in
Washington.
It belongs to Charles Kohen.
Of the Hobby Shop, World War
veteran and well-known dealer
in antiques and curios. Kohen
has had the unique souvenir in
his possession for sever months.
He obtained it from promi-
nent person who sold it to him
with the understanding that his
identity would remain a secret.
The flag was presented to
John L. by the people of Ireland
Just prior to the famous scrap.
The Boston Strong Boy gave it
to his old side-kick, Frank Moran,
Q short time after the fight.
The emblem was supposed to
have been destroyed in the fire
which razed the Wayside Inn,
Just outside Of Boston, in 1890.
However, according to Kohen,
an unknown admirer of Sullivan,
rushed into the burning building
and saved it, heavy oak frame
and all. This chap kept it hid
den until he had the chance to
dispose Of it.
Changed Hands
It changed hands several
times, until it came into the
hands Of the late Texas" Guinan,
who presented it to the man from
whom Kohen obtained it.
The flag is about four feet wide.
The fact that it has only 80 stars,
in alternate rows of six and seven,
prove that it dates from the late
1880s. It has the regulation 13
red and white stripes.
"A Sprig of shamrock graceS the
upper right hand corner, while a
big Irish harp is Stenciled in the
lower left hand corner, below the
field Of stars.
The American Eagle, with out
spread wings, grasping an olive
branch i n its left claw and a
Sheaf of wheat in its right, and
with the motto "E Pluribus
Unum" on a ribbon held in it's
beak, is pictured between the
third red stripe from the top and
the third from the bottom on the
right side.
Flowing Ribbon
Below the eagle IS a flowing
ribbon on which is inscribed:
MAY he always be champion"
In the lower right hand corner,
on the first white stripe, are the
initials u. l.. S." in large Gothic
letters.
Kohen says that the late Will
liam D. Muldoon, Sullivan's IA
nous trainer, and New York box
ing czar, made him an initial Of
fer Of $500 for it, and would
have gone higher.
He had wired Kohen to come
to see him, but before the local
dealer was s-ble to make the trip,
Muldoon died. The N. Y. COM
missioner wanted to have it
framed and hung in a sonspicu-
GUS place in the Madison Square
Garden.
Valued at $1,000
Kohen claims that he would
not sell it for less than $4,000.
Kohen recalls that sever
months ago an old fight fan "a
resident in nearby Maryland)
who had seen John L. battle
Mitchell and had heard of the
flag, came in to see it and recog-
nized it Immediately as the orig
inal.
81 remember it," said the old
gentleman, trembling with emo
tiOns. "As John L. stepped into
the ring with that flag draped
around his shoulders, the gallery
broke into wild cheers. And the
crowd cheered him as wildly
each time he put it on between
the rounds. 1t was an inspiring
sight"

lot of trouble with this third hand club bid, if you bid 1t on a really weak hcnd. Remember that, while you have the right to make a weak third hand club opening, you should never make a rebid, or your partner will take all your fol- lowing bids as constructive.
 This third hand club bid is in no way forcing. You might say. If my partner bids a third hand club without any clubs and I pass, he will be in a bad fix" but just stop to consider.
 If you and your partner have no tricks, then the opponents will probably get into the bidding. If they do not. your lpss at one club undoubled will probably be great deal less than if your opponents had bid for game or slam.
 An interesting situation arose on to-day's hand. The bidding came around to North third hand, and he bid one club, East doubled, and South bid two clubs, which told North that he held a biddable club suit. North, realizing that his part strain off the hand by jumping to five clubs.
 It does look bad. going from one to five clubs on six clubs head ed by the seven spot, bSt not hard to understand when you know that South's bid of two clubs shows a bona flde club suit.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary Of the American Bridge League
Shows Third Hand Club This New Type Of Bid Permits
 Contracting To Return To Dealer For One-Over-One Response

want to say a word to you to- day about the third hand club bid. This new bid was first introduced by F. Hal Sims in his new book, Master Contract, and is being used by a great many tournament play CTS throughout the country. It is sometimes referred to as the third hand club and diamond courtesy bids.
 A third hand club bid may not indicate a thing regarding the club holding. It is really bidding the hand and not the suit. If your partner bids third hand club and the next hand passes, try to give him one- overcome response.
 If you bid one no trump, you are forcing hi minto the two zone and should have about two to two and one-half primary and secon- dary tricks. If you make a one- overcome. and the third hand club bidder then goes to one no trump, he is trying to tell you that he has nothing and would like to get out as cheaply as possible.
 If your partner bids a third hand diamond, you know that he can at least stand a diamond lead. Tn other words, he has something in diamonds and his hand is likely to be stronger than if he had opened with one club.
 If you bid a heart or spade in third hand position, you should have a bi -dable suit and should hold two defensive tricks. They should be in two different suits.
