The Howell Double.


L beats on any particular hand,
whether he beats by 10 points or by
1000. Accordingly. let us consider
this situation: You have bid two
spades, which you figure is the limit
OF your hand. and your vulnerable
opponents now bid three clubs, which
you figure is close to their limit. You
now say to yourself: IT they make
three clubs undoubled, we will get
bag score anyway, since at most tables
the players with our cards will be
allowed to play two spades II we
beat three clubs undoubled. it is but
100 points and not IS good as the
ITO we would have made for two
spades. Accordingly, will double
this contract. If we set them one
trick, it will be top score: If they
make it, it will be a bottom: but if
| they make three clubs undoubled. it
will be practically a bottom also"

While North's double was, Of course,
emtnently sound, it left South in a
tough position. and his one-heart bid
appeared to him to be the best wrig-
gle. When his partner finally carried
him all the way to three hearts, at
which point he was doubled. South ex-
pected the worst. But when he saw
the dummy, he realized that there was
some chance Of making the contract,
and accordingly went about it as well
as he could.
West opened the king of diamonds
and, when it held, shifted to the jack
of spades. South nnessed the queen
and promptly led the jack of clubs.
East played the queen, declarer the
king and West the ace. West now led
the king OF spades, which was won by
dummy's ace. Declarer now entered
his hand with the eight Of clubs and
ruffed a diamond with one Of dummys
low trumps. One round of hearts was
now played, West failing to follow. and
now declarer led another club. win
ming with the 10 in his own hand. He
now led low diamond and ruf1ed with
dummy's remaining small trump. Since
East was compelled to follow, this
gave declarer his seventh trick and,
since the ace-queen Of trumps were
left, he made his contract for q top
score.

~ OST mistakes are the result OF
Nu hasty action. To be sure.
!" mistakes are made even a1ter
4 ' L long consideration, but not
nearly as often as when the action
is hasty and therefore not well con-
sidered. Reddy Fox is one who acts
quickly but not hastily. There is a
difference. 8 most important differ
ence. between acting quickly and act
ing hastily. One may act quickly
without carelessness, but nasty
action is likely to be a careless action.
All his life Reddy has had to act
quickly at times. If he had not acted
quickly he would not be alive To-Day.
occasionally he has acted hastily and
almost always regretted it. So he has
learned to consider every move he
makes. That is, he makes it his busi-
ness to see clearly what may or may
not happen. So. no matter what does
happen, he very seldom is taken wholly
by surprise. However, whenever ne
can he likes to take time to consider
carefully what to do and how best to
do it.
Reddy had much to consider now.
He had a great problem to consider.
Two lives, his own and that OF Mrs.
Reddy, depended wholly upon him,
and, so far as he could see, upon him
alone. They could not live without
food, and that food he must get, as
Mrs. Reddy was at home, helpless so
far as getting about to hunt for food
was concerned. She had been shot
Evening star., 1937-01-18

and so badly hurt that it would be
some time before she would be able to
do any hunting. So Reddy must pro-
vide food for her as well as himself
and, with everything covered with
snow and ice, 1t was hard enough for
one to keep from starving. So that
was the problem Reddy was consider
ing. the problem of how to feed two
where there was not enough for one.
He sat at the edge of the Old Pas
ture. looking over toward Farmer
Browns. Two dogs lived there He
knew all about them. One was Bowser
the Hound. who never was so happy
as when chasing a Fox. The other was
Flip the Terrier. He had bluffed Flip
and taken a nice meaty bone away
from him to take home to Mrs. Reddy.
II was lucky to get it." said Reddy
to himself. II couldn't have bluffed
Bowser that way. No. sir, couldn't
have bluffed him like that. But that
little Dog doesn't know as much as
he might. I wonder If could bluff
him again. I might. Then, again. !
might not. My. these Dogs live we'll!
I wonder how it would seem to have
all I want to eat every day without
having to hunt for 1t. I wonder how
Evening star., 1937-01-18

1t would seem never to wonder where
the next meal is coming from. I'm
glad got that bone for Mrs. Reddy,
poor dear. Now I must get bite for
myself or ! won't have strength
enough to hunt for food for her"
At last Reddy reluctantly turned
away from Farmer Browns and head
ed for the Green Forest. He had twice
had good luck in Farmer Browns
dooryard, and so wanted to try again,
But there were those two Dogs to
consider. He had been lucky twice,
but he couldn't expect to be as lucky
all the time.
II must take as little risk as I can
while Mrs. Reddy is helpless" thought
he. Whatever happens to me hap
pens to her. and that means that I
must be extra careful. I'll try every
place where there Is no real risk. Then
if I have no luck and worse comes to
worst, I'll take a chance. Anything
is better than starving to death"
So Reddy hunted carefully and pa
tiently through the Green Forest. He
went over to the Big River and hunt
ed along its banks. He searched all
through the Old Pasture. He investi-
gated the Old Stonewall along the
Old orchard. Everywhere the result
was the same-nothing. Not even one
small Mouse rewarded all his hunting
Tired, hungry and discouraged. he
once more sat down to consider his
next move. Should he try his luck
again in Farmer Browns dooryard or
should he try for hen on some other
farm? Which would be the greater
risk? He considered carefully. He had
little hope of getting hen at Farmer
Browns, and hen was what he want
ed above all things. But he felt in
Evening star., 1937-01-18

his heart that there would be less
danger at Farmer Browns. There
would be no terrible gun and there
would be no dreadful trap. These
things there might be at some other
farm.
"I'll see If can steal another break
fast from those Dogs" decided Reddy.

BIG TEN LEAGUE
RACE WIDE OPEN

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The Big
Ten football championship was a
wide-open race today.
Although the Minnesota a
Gophers mcmentarily stand at the
top of the Western Conference
heap, three other teams still have
a chance to horn in on the title
distribution-Ohio State, Indiana,
and Wisconsin.
Two surprise victories by Illinois
and Indiana over the weekend re-
suited in the other squads being
given an opportunity to take a
crack at the Big Ten crown,
symbol of Midwest gridiron Su-
periority.
Coming as an upset, an under
dog Illini team bowled over the
1886 championship team, North
western, 60, while the Hoosiers
tripped up Ohio State. 100.
Each of the four squads that
have a chance to nip the title still
have two conference games to
play. Minnesota must meet North
western and Wisconsin. Ohio
State has Illinois and Michigan
on it's schedule, while Indiana
cards Iowa and Purdue. Wisconsin
meanwhile meets Purdue and Min
neSota.
Should Minnesota sweep over
Northwestern and Wisconsin, the
GopherS will hold undisputed
rights to the conference crown.
Should the Gophers slip in
either Of their contests, Ohio
State, by winning both their
games, can clinch the title. The
Indiana and Wisconsin hopes
hinge on the inability of the Buck
eyes or the Gophers to get
through their two remaining tits.
To all indications the champion
ship will be settled at Minneapolis
next week when Minnesota and
Northwestern clash. If the G9ph-
ers can get by the Wildcats there
is little reason to believe that Wis
conSin can present much of a
threat.
Minnesota spent the weekend
rolling up a 35-14 victory over
Iowa, Michigan eked out a 1872
win over Chicago, while Purdue in
an intersectional battle tumbled
21-3 before the F'ordham Rams.
Wisconsin was idle.

JOHNSTON SEES
PASTOR AS NEXT
HEAVY CHAMP
BY PAT ROBINSON

International News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Neither
Joe Louis nor Max Schmeling will
fight again after their meeting in
June and Bob Pastor will then don
the fistic purple and become the
universally acknowledged heavy
weight champion of the world.
That forecast, which may not
be so far-fetched as it sounds, was
made today by Jimmy Johnston
who in the last 40 years has man
aged more fighters and more cham
pionS, and who as matchmaker
for Madison Square Garden has
staged more title fights than any
man who ever lived.
Here is the fistic future as John
Ston sees it:
"Schmeling," said the irrepreS-
sible Johnston, "is leaving Ger
many today. He is coming here
to belt out a puShover named
Harry Thomas. And he'll stop
Louis more easily than he did
the last time.
Then he'll take the heavy
weight title back to Germany,
but, no matter what Mike ia
cobS says to the contrary, the
Dutchman will never fight
again. He has all the money
he needs and he'll be a big shot
in Germany.
Even if Louis could beat him
which he can't-he, too, would
never fight again. Now that
he's been away from his board
of managers for a while and
begun to think and act for him
self, he is different guy than
he was. He's lazy, he doesn't
ike punishment, and he's got
too much money for his own
good.
When Schmeling and Louis
quit, Pastor will be top man.
Jack Kearns thinks his Jimmy
Adamic is the best heavyweight
around. and Jack and I have
a tentative agreement for
Pastor and Adamic to meet next
July.
Now, I'm giving you a two
way tip-Louis and Schmeling
will make their meeting their
last fight no matter which way
it goes and Pastor will be the
next universally acknowledged
champion"
But, Jimmy, will they acknoWl.
edge him in Germany?

We'll play with a deader ball

of the National League, said to-
day when asked whether the ques-
ton would be presented to the
major league meeting at Chicago
next month. 1--WE voted for that
last winter, and our league is
unanimously in favor of the
change"
TO 1 IN FAVOR
Nor, in Frick's opinion, is the
American League likely to raise
any objection or ask that the de-
ciSion be reconsidered.
president Harridge told me
only recently" Frick said, 'Ghat
his league is to l in favor of the
change" Obviously, the Yankees
are the only dissenterS, preferring,
naturally, to maintain the status
quo.
Frick's emphatic declaration
comes as a distinct surprise, since,
Immediately after the world series
several Of the club owners spoke
determinedly of ordering the rule
rescinded. At the time they were
deeply impressed not only with
the Yankees success but with
their customer popularity.
Since then they've had the
opportunity to study the problem
in relation to their own selfish
interests, however, and seemingly
have experienced a change of
mind.
SOLUTION OF PROBLEM
"It's all well enough to
theories, to talk of building up
to challenge the Yankees" Frick
comments, "but as the imme-
diate solution of our problem
that doesn't suggest itself to me.
Teams like the Yankees aren't
built up in a year, or even two
or three.
And the problem is as much
the American Leagues as it is
ours. After all, the Giants
aren't the only team the Yanks
have beaten. They've outclassed
their own league for two years,
and figure to do it again unless
some means is discovered to
curb their power. Evidently,
from what Mr.. Harridge told
me, his club owners agree with
me that the deader ball is the
only means of restoring a
semblance of balance to the
baseball structure"
Frick agrees that the customers
like home run hitting, but offers
it as his opinion that close pen.

WATCH WHITNEY
TRACK NOTICE
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Has Cor.
nelius v. (Sonny) Whitney aband-
oned the turf forever or will he
return with a bigger and better
stable a year from now?
Most of the turf world believes
the young polo-playing million
aire put his entire racing string
on the auction block down at Pim-
lico yesterday because he has
grown tired of looking at red ink
for his last three years of racing
and even more tired of kicking
back 88 per cent of his huge in

But the writer learns today
there is a quiet tip in high Jockey
Club circles that this move by
Sonny merely presageS new deal,
1hlS tip has it that Sonny be-
leVes his racing stock is too in
bred and that he could do better
with a new trainer and new deal
all around,
WON $1,453,59S
From 1880 through 1888 his
stable led them all in winnings,
During that time his horses car
r1eG his famous light blue and
brown to victory in all the great
stakes in the country, rolling up
total winnings Of $1,453 ,598.
But in the last three years the
light blue and brown has come
bobbing down in front all too
seldom and. Unlike his cousin
Jock Whitney, who is and always
has been much more interested
in racing, Sonny is not content
TO take it on the chin.
Those who say Sonny will be
back scott at his losses as a
reason for his retirement from
the game. They point out that
he could write these losses off
on his income tax, and they stress
the fact that he would be under
pressure from his family to keep
alive the family turf traditions.
GREAT STABLE
Sonny inherited one of the
greatest stables of all time. Among
the horses he fell heir to were
Equipoise, the second greatest
money winner of all time with
total earnings of $338,61O; Which
one, that garnered $105,000 in
winning the 1929 Futurity, and
Top Flight, the mare that holds
the record for her sex with win
nings of $275, 300.
Just after his father died, Sonny
saw Equipoise beat Twenty Grand
and Mate. That was the race
where Equipoise was practically
left. at the post, and while the
throng was cheering a great
stretch duel between Twenty
Grand and Mate, Equipoise sud.
denly appeared with the light
blue and brown and came roaring
down the Straightaway to nip
Twenty Grand at the wire.
Such thrills as that must have
been never seemed to mean as
much to Sonny as it would to his
cousin Harry, and it may be that
the sale will mean the passing of
the light blue and brown for all
time. But in jockey club circles,
they merely wink and say watch
those colors q year from now
