Vests queen with his king, as he knew that the opening lead was a singleton.
 with eight diamonds played on the first two tricks, South had no further worries. He ruffed East's spade return with high trump, then led another daimond and ruffed in dummy. He returned to his own hand with trump, led the fourth diamond. and again trumped in dummy.
 Now his last diamond was estab- lished, the trumps were drawn, and the contract fulfilled.
 By playing the hand in the sim plest manner, South did not have to bother with spade discards. Others who overlooked this simple plan failed to fulfill the slam con- tract, as they were left with . los- ing diamond.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Easy Way Out Is Best Player Uses Dummys Trump for Ruffing Side Suit, As Most Logical Step
 to Slam Contract
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary oe the American Bridge League

Bridge players are apt to be dag zled by opportunities to discard los- CTS in one hand on winners in the other, as Frank K. Perkins, of Bos- ton, pointed out in discussing slam contract played in a recent national tournament. But before hastening to discard, the good player stops and asks himself whether the discards will serve any useful purpose.
 In the vast majority of hands, the simplest line of play is the best, and today the simplest play is the cross ruff. If that should fail, then the question of discarding losers on dummy's high cards can be con- sidered.

 Vernon Kennedy of the White Sex was the most generous mind- ed He topped all other American League pitchers by issuing l4T passes.
 First -Basemen Are Tough
 The American League records also serve to emphasize the point that has been quite apparent for some time, namely, that the first basemen in the junior circuit are a dangerous lot of sluggers, par ticularly in the clutches. Hal Tros- ky, Cleveland, led the parade with a total of 162 runs batted in. Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees was next in line with 152. Then came Boston's Jimmy Foxx, with 143. In fourth place was zeke Bonura of the Chicago White Sox with 138.
 Trosky made quite a comeback after his dismal failure of 1885 The Indian first-sacker gave up the silly experiments that upset his work in 1885 with the result that he was one of the most feared batters in the American League last season when there was a man on base.

A casual glance at American League records for the 1886 season reveals several marks that are not likely to inspire their makers to rush up and demand substantial increases on their 1937 contracts.
 For instance, we note that Jim my Foxx again tops the league in the matter of striking oI.. Jimmy famed 119 times during the 1936 season to make it the sixth sum- ner he has won the "honor'

 Chiozza a Bargain"
 Frankie Frisch thinks that Man ager Bill Terry of the Giants made very wise move when he picked up Lou Chiozza from the Phillies Chiozza will strengthen the Giantc here they need strengthening most, at third base, according tc the Cardinal pilot
 The Giants gave some $20,000 ir cash as well as players to get the Philly speed boy, but it is likely to prove a good investment. Chiozza is just as much at home in the outfield as he is around third base and may come in handy as a gardener in case of emergency, all though Terry has indicated that Lou VIII De used at tnlrd base exclusively.
 ChioZza comes from Memphis Tenn, which is Terry's home town The Giant leader has admired his fellow-townsman for some time He feels the Giants have room for a scrapper like Lou.
 Lou has made quite a name for himself, locally at least, as an all- around athlete. He has made his mark in boxing, basketball, track football and golf as well as in base ball. There was a time when he couldn't quite make up his mind whether to be 8 fighter CT a base ball player.
