did not like the young hurler's

nothing and plan nothing. But Text

Yesterday was perfect example
of what a handicap it is to be too
fat" declared Harris. ''Linke's got
plenty of stuff He has the Tigers
eating out of his hand and we're win

he gets tired and loses his stuff His
curve won't break and he can't get
his fast ball and knuckler across the
plate.
THE reason seems simple. He's too
heavy. Linke weighs around 208 or

Eight.Card Problem.

OVER half q century ago. Henry
~ Jones Of London, possibly the
greatest whist player who ever lived.
was writing on the play of the hand
under the pseudonym Of Cavendish.
When I was . boy I used to spend
hours on end puzzling out his old
whist problems. 1t always amazed me,
and 1t amases me still, that any one
can devise O simple layout Of - cards
that battles the would-be solver for
hours on end. But after tackling q
fresh problem, grimly determined to
solve it in so seconds fiat, would
still be scratching my head at the
end OF so minutes.
The point has been taken by sub
seouent authorities that problems are
merely mental pastimes; that they
are no help whatsoever In everyday
bridge. I disagree. After had got
the hang Of the thing and had short
ened my time limit to 10 minutes
maximum, I found that I could exc
cute the simpler squeeZes and coups
that came up during the course of
rubber bridge play with much more
accuracy and flnesse. 1t may be that
your mind does not run in those same
channels; that problems to you are but
the idle amusements of those who can
not stand the rigors of the bridge
table. 1 have tentatively planned to
give q five or eight card problem once
every week. They were Cavendish's
favorites, and they are mine as well.
But II 1 find that they meet with pub
lie disapproval, / will reluctantly dis
continue them.
Today's is very simple. You should
solve it in seven to twelve minutes. II
you strike . snag, however, and the
eight spots begin to dance before your
eyes, write to me, care of this news
paper, and will come to your rescue
with the solution, via q postcard that
have already prepared.

Chippy, unlike his sparrow cousins,
often builds a home in the top of q

collection. There are two broods a

time to construct fresh one for the
second brood.

used for the exterior walls. The weav-
ing is expertly done. The inner walls
and mattress are made of horsehair

Into the deep bassinet are laid three
to five light blue eggs. with splashes
and marks of purplish brown, tinged
with green, on them.

TORONTO, Sept IF, A melo- dramatic fight in an airplane high over the Long Branch Race Track early this morning resulted in the death of Len Koenicke, 31, outfield- CT for the Brooklyn National Leag ue baseball team.
 Joseph Mulqueeny who was pilot ing the plane and Irwin Davis his assistant, who said they killed Koenicke in self preservation, were charged with manslaughter.
 They said that Koenicke locked with them in desperate battle and the plane began to rock partly out of control, as the pilot fought to keep one hand on the controls.
 Mulqueeny struck Koenicke sever al blows on the head with the fire extinguisher.
 Koenicke was sent home from St. Louis by the Dodgers. He chartered the plane at Detroit for the trip to Buffalo. The fiiers said that the ball player attacked them.
 Mulqueeny said. "If he's dead I killed him.. The police said that Mulqueeny said Koenicke became restless and started grabbing at the controls. q advised him to get into the back seat, and he did. Then Davis came to the front seat and everything was O K for short time. Then he grabbed me by the neck which interfered with my flying. l asked Davis to get into the rear seat and try to quiet him.

Three Persons Are
 Claiming Fortune
 Aristocracy Days
(Bv The Associated Press)

NICE, France, Sept. l7-Republi- can French law will cross swords with imperial czarist decree of old Russia when the civil court of Nice decides which of three claimants is to inherit the fabulous Stroganoff fortune, once estimated at $200,O00,- 900.
 French law would make the French-born wife of Count Strogan- oc, now Mrs. Lewiuze, and his sis ter, Princess Olga Scherbatoff, joint benefciarieS.
 But an imperial ukase issued by the czar, Alexandeer I, of Russia, decrees that the Stroganoff title and fortune must always succeed to the last living male Stroganoff. Count Nicholas Stroganoff, who says he is direct male descendant of the Stro ganoffs and cousin of Count Serge, who died in 1923, bases his claim to the title on the law of primogeni- ture.
 One of the rich families of Russia, the Stroganoffs saw the greater part of their vast estate in Russia con- fiscated by the soviet government. When Count Serge Stroganoff died, lawyers in the case say, he left a
