There was still a chance to make the contract, if East held two more hearts and three clubs.
 Two rounds of hearts were taken, on which declarer discarded club. Now three rounds of clubs were cashed, and then another club led, which was trumped in dummy with the queen. East had nothing left but spades so was forced to under ruff.
 Now when the nine of spades was led, East was helpless. To cover, left South with nothing but high trumps, and if he refused to cover then his trump tenace would be caught on the return heart from dummy.

South's contract in today's hand looked easy when the dummy went down. True the contract was for 8 small slam, and there was an ace off the hand, but after that it should be clear sailing.
 After winning the opening lead, South led a small spade, and the bad trump break was made clear. The trick was won with the ace and a small heart returned which West won with the ace. A diamond was returned which declarer ruffed.

his closest friends. He stood
four square on his record, which
was enough to suit anyone.
The writer Travelled with the
New York Giants in 1927. I
know that John J. McGraw
thought Hornsby the greatest
ball player and best manager
of the day and age. McGraw
many times said that when he
stepped down from leadership
in New York, he wanted Hornsby
to succeed him.
McGraw lost his power and
position with the Giants. Had

Ridiculous Charge

Probably the most ridiculous
charge levelled at the Texan is
that he was released by the
Giants because of disagree
ments with John j. McGraw.
TxcGraw and Hornsby were
kindred spirits in baseball.
They we're leaders in the ag-
greSsive style of baseball which
knows no friends, asks no
quarter once the game begins.
When John McGraw was in
jured in Chicago in 1927.
Hornsby was made manager of
the club. He received a free
hand from McGraw: held &C.
countable to no one but the
Little Napoleon" himself.
Hornsby incurred the dis
pleasure of Charles A. Stone
ham, former president of the
Giants, after a game in Pitts
burgh. Stoneham summoned
Hornsby to his suite and de-
manded reasons for certain
plays during the game. Stone
ham had been entertaining
friends.

He was released that winter,

Onward to Boston he went in

of Jack Slattery, of the Bees.
There we're many who con-
tended that Slatta'y knew not
only where the right field foul
line extended, but also the To-
cation of the left field line. It
came to a pass where Judge
Emil E. Fuchs demanded that
Hornsby take over the manage
ment of the club.
Hornsby demurred, but Fuchs
insisted, and so the Texan
stepped into command.
When Chicago sought him,
Fuchs put the matter up to
Hornsby. Rogers appraised the
situation so keenly that Fuchs
made the tradt and profited
richly. But the tale of disSen-
ton followed Hornsby from the
Hub. Things went along all
right in Chicago until the pitch
