THROUGH years of experience,
c. Earle Wyvill. marriage clerk
at Upper Marlboro. Md. has
Il acquired an almost uncannv
ability to judge the ages of
young people, and an artful line of
questioning in dealing with them.
Court house officials credit him with
having prevented many premature
marriages.
One day recently as he was about
to close his desk and go home, man
called him on the telephone and re-
quested that he remain awhile to issue
him a license.
Wyvill waited and a youthful couple
soon appeared before him, the willing
to-be groom explaining he was the
man who called. The clerk asked the
couple their ages. The man" said
he was % and the woman" 19. If
those ages were correct both would be
year Older than the minimum age re-
quired under Marvland's marriage
laws.
Believing they both were about Is.
Wyville explained that they would
have to swear to their ages and be
subject to punishment for perjury if
they made a false oath.

he scored 1910 points, while at the
other table declarer was minus so
points, causing a swing of 1860
points. However, Mr.. Watson's team
won the match by 1740 points. so
that the results on this board did
not determine its victory.
The point of discussion was how
the spade suit should be played Mr..
Malowan claimed that Mr.. Light
ner's remarks led him to believe
that he held the queen of spades.
A player does not have the right to
make remarks about the hand be-
fore his opening lead and for this
the opening leader was criticised.
Most players agreed, however, that
declarer should have provided
against four spades in one hand
and that a f1nesse should not have
been taken on the first round.
Therefore, as either the ace or the
king would have to be played, the
king was the proper play, because.
with four spades to the queen in
the West hand, the queen could not
be picked up.
If there were four spades in the
East hand, play Of the king would
allow declarer to finesse on the next
round.
Mathematical players will tell you
that there is a better percentage Of
finding the queen over the jack
rather than the king over the
queen. Therefore, from that angle,
the king should have been played
first.

Secretary American Bridge League

TODAY'S hand caused swing OF
l. 1860 points in the semi-f1nal
round Of the knockout team of four
contest in the recent national tour
nament in Asbury Park, N. j. If
you do not think these experts take
their bridge in a serious manner, I
might say that this hand came up
for more discussion than any other
at the tournament.
A team consisting of Waldemar
Won Zedtwitz. Sherman StearnS,
Walter Malowan. and Sydney Rusi-
now had as opponents Louis H.
Watson. Sam Fry Jr., T. A. Light
ner. and NJ. D. Maier.
At the table where the discussion
came up. Mr.. Malowan held the
South cards and Mr.. Lightner, who
was the opening leader against a
seven spade contract. held the West
cards. During the bidding Mr.. Malo-
wan and his partner had bid all
suits. Before Mr.. Lightner made
his opening bid, he remarked on this
fact and said that he did not know
Just what suit to lead.
He finally opened the jack of dia-
monds. Mr.. Malowan won with the
queen and led the ace Of spades. OF
course now his contract was de-
feated.
A T the other table Mr.. Fry was
IA sitting in the South and Mr.
StearnS in the West
Mr.. Stearns opened a small heart
which was won in dummy with the
ace. The king of spades was led
from dummy, and when Mr.. West
showed out East could easily be
fineSSed out of his queen of spades
and the contract made.
As declarer was not vulnerable
