If there is only one chance to de- feat an adverse contract, that chance should be taken even at the risk of giving declarer over tricks, if the plan fails. But the times when players analyze g situa- ton with sufficient care and cor rect to determine the need for des- perate measures are not nearly as frequent as they should be.
 Morris Click, of Cleveland, is a recognized master at the bridge table, and today's hand, in which he played a defensive role, shows how he amassed some of his points and gained the respect of his op- ponents.

 Not to lose control of the timing, Click went right up with the ace of diamonds and returned the ace and another club. Declarer won and led spade to dummy. Then he played @ heart. and finessed. the jack.

WOMAN IN RED
LOSES IN COURT
U. S. Judge, in Effect, Up-
holds Deportation of Dill
Iinger Nemesis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 20.-The United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals re-
fused yesterday to recognize the part
Mrs. Anna Sage said she played in
the Staying of John Dillinger as justi-
fication for allowing her to remain
in the United States.
In effect, the courts decision up
held the deportation order against
the woman in red," and unless a
review of the case is obtained, Mrs.
Sage will be sent back to Rumania
as an undesirable alien.
Mrs. Sage claimed that Melvin
Purvis, formerly in charge of the
United States Department of Justice
agents here, promised dismissal of
the deportation proceedings for her
assistance in ending the outlaws
career in a blaze of gunfire on July
%. 1884.
Refusing to admit this evidence,
the Lower Court dismissed a petition
for a writ of habeas corpus. 1t was
from the decision that an appeal was
taken.
The appellate courts decision stated
Government agents were not author
lied to make such promise, even if
1t we're made.
PurviS has said he agreed only to
bring the matter to the attention of
the proper authorities.
A conviction in Gary, Ind. on a
charge of operating disorderly house
was the basis of the deportation order.
Twenty days were granted by the
court in which to seek a rehearing.
