In bridge as in other things, the experts can be divided into two groups-optimists and pessimists. One who undoubtedly belongs in the optimist class is Ollie Enrich, who was one of the stars at the annual Ohio State tournament, con- ducted by the northern Ohio unit of the American Contract Bridge league in Cleveland, April 26-30.
 The optimist often undertakes difficult contracts, and thus his play must be very fine. Here is a case

Find New Ball Helpful in
Tight Ti|ts-Tribe Gets
American Lead.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

National League pitchers evidently
are beginning to take a liking to that
new ball with its slightly raised seams.
In four games yesterday they turned
in a series of remarkable perform
ances. Hal Schumacher of the Giants
showing the way with one-hit. l-to-0
victory over Brooklyn's Dodgers.
There's no doubt the National
League ball affords a little better grip
than the American agate and enables
a pitcher to get maybe little more
stuff on his deliveries. though tests
have proved it travels just as far
when swatted soundly. There Is no
difficulty in distinguishing the two
balls when one is held in either
hand.
The only hit off Schumacher was
by the first man to face him at Eb-
bets Field. 1t was dinky roller
past first base by Rosy Rosen, Brook
lyn rookie. Thereafter only three
reached first on the Giants right
handler, all on walks.
Meantime, Van Mungo of the
Dodgers was doing all right, himself.
He gave 10 hits, but it took Mel Otis
home run in the second inning to
beat him.
Danny MacFayden of the Boston
Bees produced a three-hit gem in
blanking the Phillies, 2 to o. Just
before game time he had been ad-
vised Of the death Of his foster father,
but insisted upon pitching.
Dizzy Dean gave little additional
proof that he isn't going to do the
Chicago Cubs any material harm as
he shut out his old chums, the st.
Louis Cardinals. 5 to 0, on four hits.
The great one had only a single
strike-out, but he looked a lot like
his old self.
Jim Tobin kept the undefeated
Pirates tearing along at the head of
the procession as he bested Peaches
Davis of Cincinnati, to l, in a
brilliant duel. He allowed five hits,
Davis six The Pirates were due for
some tougher competition as they
opened series with the Cubs today.
Cleveland climbed into the American
League lead with its fifth straight
triumph and third in q row over De-
troit, 9 to 4. Bob Feller, who hurled
q one-hit shut-out in his first start Of
the season, came back to hold the
Tigers to three safeties and no runs
for the first eight innings. They popped
him five times in the ninth to break
his scoreless string.
