A CERTAIN gentleman Of our &C.
quaintance said to US recently:
II love to play bridge with good play
ers, but 80 many Of the experts play
50 slowly that sometimes lose in
terest in the game. should think
that any master player would be able
to size up hand at glance and pro-
ceed with no waste Of time" We re-
piled that Is far Is the main features
Of almost any hand are concerned one
glance At the dummy is sufficient. but
that figuring out possible distributions
and planning on the safest way to
attain the contract causes several lead
ing tournament stars to take what
seems an inordinate length of time.
We concluded that the amount Of
time necessary to master all the essen
tial details varies greatly in different
players. depending upon the type Of
mind. Shortly thereafter . rubber

friend became declarer at . Ex-spade

JUST few days before the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap a horse
named Chanceview won preparatory
test for the rich handicap in sloppy
footing. He won as his rider pleased
by IS lengths and looked champion.
Gambling that it might be muddy for
the race. Vanderbilt bought the horse
for sum estimated to be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. On the day of the
big race the track was close to fast,
but the master of Sycamore elected to
start Chanceview anyway.
That racing classic Is turf history,
with Rosemont nosing out Seabisciut
in a thrilling finish, with Chanceview
20 lengths behind. A week later, in
the $4,000 San Juan Capistrano Han
dicap, Seabisciut won by seven lengths,
creating a new track record, with
Chanceview 30 lengths to the rear.
Vanderbilt had no success with
his costly purchase and last fall
sold him to Seabiscuit's over, C.
S. Howard, for 4 reported $685.

Hard luck continued to follow
Chanceview. When Howard shipped
his purchase to the West Coast he was
injured and will be out Of action for a
long time
If Vanderbilt received the sum Of
$4,000 for Chanceview, as reported, it
now looks as If he made as good q sale
as previously he made . bad buy. At
any rate, he Is not afraid to risk his
money either in horseflesh or business,
and I say more power to him.
