CONTRACT BRIDGE
Dividends in Bdng-Contrac and Top Score Assured by Crowding Opponents Out of Certain"
 
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

When North opened his minor two-suitef, third hand, he did not hold the minimum in honor tricks ordinarily required, but six-six distribution can take care of slight lack in high cards. AS he did not want to convey false picture of high card strength, he bid the dia- mond suit first, as he desired to show both without reversing. Subsequent bidding did not fol- low the lines he expected. South's triple jump was not bad strategy. He did not fear four hearts, and hoped to beat four spades if bid by the opponents. He also wished to crowd the adverse bidding.
 Tn any event, 1t worked, as West was too pleased with the prospect of doubling diamonds to make 8 bid himself.
 The opening lead of the spade was returned and declarer ruffed. Another diamond was led, dummy playing the ten and West won with the ace. Another spade was re- turned which was ruffed.
 Declarer was now down to the nine of trumps, while dummy held the king seven. The ace of clubs was

of the Connecticut League of Wo- men Voters-have noted with con- cern the favorable report of the Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, on the McKellar Bill (S-3022), which revoked the executive order, by which all post masters were placed under Civil Service, and instead, aims to put all classes of Postmasters of 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes, according to figures of July l, 1935 and this does not in- clude PostmaSters of the 4th (Rural Glass;.
 If this reactionary measure is passed, 1t will have a disastrous ef- feet upon Civil Service and be in contradiction to the Merit Principle. It will also be complete repudia- tion of the platform pledges of both major parties.
 The Waterbury League of Wo- men Voters took part in the work, during the last Legislative Session, for the establishment of a Civil Service in Connecticut. It would be poor contrast to see the Federal Congress take the backward step of putting the whole postal service under the Spoils System.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-06

Members of the Waterbury League of Women Voters protested today to senators Augustine Lonergan and Francis T. Maloney against passage of the McKeller bill which would take postmasters out of civil service classification and return them to the political patronage basis.
 A statement of the local League authorized at meeting a short time ago and dispatched to Washington today by Mrs. Harold Root, president said that if the McKeller measure, which has been favorably reported by the committee on post office and post roads, is passed it will have a disastrous effect upon civil service and be in contradition to the merit principle"

If the Giants beat the Pirates
again today, they will have a fair
chance to take another licking
from the Yanks again. The
Giants morale received q ire
mendous uplift yesterday and it
showed plainly as they rushed off
the field laughing and shouting
while the Pirates slowly trudged
their way to the clubhouse.
The Pirates could do nothing
with Hal Schumacher in the first
game and were shut out, 80.
They had little more success
against Harry Gumbert in the
nghtcap, and lost, 10-3.
GABBY DECIDES CAME
Up in the Hub, old Gabby
Hartnett hit a homer with the
bases loaded to give the Cubs a
13 decision over the Bees.
Casey Stengel said he would pro-
test the game on the grounds
that Gabby's homer was in foul
territory sailing out of the park
but the claim will not be allowed
because it was based on an um-
pire's judgment which is always
upheld.
The Cards took a pair from the
PhilS, 12-9 and 80.

Johnny Vandermeer to give the
Brooklyn Dodgers the first game

FOR CUP RACES

Berths at the Capital and Cor

rapidly filling up with entries
from many parts of the Eastern
seaboard for the Presidents Cup
Regatta sailing races, which are
to occur this week end.
Twelve classes will be contested
in the events which will be staged
under the auspices of the Potomac
River Sailing Association.
Outstanding among the many
entries is that of Warner Wilcox,
l7-year-old Staten Island junior
sailor from the Richmond County
Yacht Club of New York.
Wilcox was the 1887 national
champion of the comet class, but
fell behind last week when his
Escarget was disabled in the races
at Lake Skaneateles.
Indications today were that
there will be a total of $50 entries
for Saturday and Sundays sailing
events, an increase of about 25
over last years turnout.

When Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, baseball's high commits
sioner, goes into session here to-
morrow with executives of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs,

HUNT AND MAKO.
HOLD NET STAGE.
AT FOREST HILLS.
By LEWIS BURTON

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. IS.
Washington, D. c.. had a roofing
interest in one of the main
matches of the national singles
tennis championships today when
its George washington University
student, Gilbert Hunt, clashes
with Gene Mako.
Hunt crashed today'S headline
competition by Springing one of
the upSets of the tournament last
Monday when he out-played Davis
Cupper Bobby Riggs in a brilliant
Snatch set.
However, the big question here
today concerned the possibility of
Hunt turning in his second con-
secutive sensational match against
Mako.
Gene has shown remarkable
form so far in this tournament,
as established by his straight sets
defeat of Franjo Puncec, of Yugo-
Slavia, last Monday.
Whereas Hunt has shown a
tendency to play great tennis
when he was of such a disposi-
ton. Mako has been a steady
player, ever reliable and ever
dangerous.
The comeback of Atlanta's Bitsy
Grant has propounded the ques-
ton in the minds of the tennis
conscious as to whether he is again
to become a member of the Davis
Cup squad-in 1899.
