THE dream of every fisherman, T.

THE dream Of every fisherman, to
catch some day a record fish,
came true last August for Mary C.
Potter, sportswoman. when she hooked
onto 757 pounds of fighting bluefln
tuna off Nova Scotia.
1t was found to have surpassed by
8 pounds the former buefn tuna
record of 749 pounds held by Mrs
Faith Locke since 1896.
Meanwhile. another woman, Mrs.
William Chisholm, I'd, hooked and
landed second tuna just 80 hours
after Marys catch, 3l2 pounds larger
than Marys!
Invasion of England.
Little remembered today because of
overshadoWing events of that time, a
German submarine invasion of Eng
land actually took place during the
World War.
In May, 1918, a German Sub"
stranded near Start Point, Sunday, in
the Orkneys: to tighten the craft the
crew jettisoned all its torpedoes and
hundreds Of shells and cartridges.
They managed to ref1oat the sub
marine and escape While ashore the
crew members were watched by a
number OF crofters who supposed them
to be British.

Winning Contract.
Triple Squeeze Slam.

ONE Of the prime requisites for
successful defense at contract
consists OF the ability to visualize de-
clarer's probable holding from the bid
ding and to plan the defense on that
basis. In a recent game at the Re-
gency Club Walter Malowan success
fully made small slam by means of
a triple squeeze which actually could
have been prevented if the East play
er had made the right shift at an early
stage Of the play. And careful
study of the bidding would have clearly
indicated the correct shift.
South, dealer.
North-South vulnerable.

Looking over the hand carefully Mr..
Malowan assumed from the bidding
that the club finesse would work. Now
the hand was obviously a laydown in
the event that the spade finesse would
also be right. Accordingly he won
the heart trick led the 10 Of spades
and f1nessed, East winning with the
king. East now laid down the queen
OF hearts, hoping that his partner
could trump. In our opinion this play
was a mistake, since he should have
realized that Mr.. Malowan would not
have jumped to six spades on suit
headed by queen-10 If he also held
a possible loser in hearts. Therefore
we feel that diamond shift was in
dicated. Our readers will note that
had this diamond shift been made.
the squeeze which now resulted could
not have taken place.
Mr.. MaloWan trumped high, led
over to dummy's ace of trumps, cashed
the king of hearts, discarding the
three Of diamonds from his own hand,
and now ran off all the trumps. On
the last trump lead West, who held
three clubs and the king small of
diamonds, was forced to throw a dia-
mond in order to keep his clubs pro-
tected. At this point dummy held
the ace-queen small of clubs plus a
diamond and heart The small club
was now thrown, and a club flnesse
followed. The ace of clubs was then
cashed and East was squeezed in turn
Forced to retain his high heart, East
blanked his queen of diamonds. And
now both diamond honors fell to the
ace and the jack won the last trick,

By no stretch of the imagination
can one find a reason why GalentC
should bother Louis. If you justify
his choice as the next important chal-
lenger you must do so by saying he
is "the best of bad lot" and even
that is doubtful
For a brief period in his career
Galento might have given Louis a
little trouble; but not after looking
over the edge of the Valley of Death
with an attack of pneumonia. Fight
ers don't come all the way back from
such Furnishing experiences.
The explanation of Galento's high
standing with promoter Mike Jacobs
is that manager Joe Jacobs has the
Sin"
Joe is the shrewdest of managers
Promoters like to work with him
because he can help them sell their
show. In looking around for chal-
lenger, Mike Jacobs would pick a
fighter managed by Yussel the Mus
sci, Joe Jacobs, ahead of any other
managers fighter if the ability of the
two fighters was anywhere near even.
Joe had Max Schmeling. He
dropped him in time to pick up Tony
Galento. He knows the ropes of
putting on championship fight and
the Galento-Louis match is in the
cards not so much because Galento
is the worthiest challenger as be-
cause Joe Jacobs is the best salesman.
Gophers Must Coast.
A year ago Minnesota's basketball
team went to New York and left a
Big Ten championship there. So in
tent were the boys upon making a
showing in Madison Square Garden
which they did, that they rushed
their season, attained top condition
too quickly and had a slump when
the Big Ten schedule started.
They came out of the slump in
time to finish in second place; but
they could have had a championship
if they had paced themselves con-
servatively.
Again they are poised for a trip
through the East, and again they start
with team that is good enough to
win Big Ten championship if they
come back from their trip fresh and
frisky.
Let's hope they don't leave too
much in the East this time. It's nice
to win there; but, after all, the main
objective is the Big Ten title.
A Wrestler Enters.
Wrestlers do not like to have
wrestlers around. What does that
mean? Well it means that profess
sional wrestlers, members of the syn
dictate herd, make little use of scien-
tific wrestling holds and when lad
comes along who really knows the
science, it embarrasses the hulking
showmen.
There's youngster on the scene
named Clifton Gustafson, graduate OF
the University of Minnesota, national
collegiate A. A. U. champion and, al
though an amateur, he can already
outwrestle more than half the big
pros who keep the crowds screaming
He's a pro himself now and he
plans to 60 all the way.

he can size up the beef and conforma-

SEABOARD D|ESE[S
TO Be SHOWN HERE
New Electric Locomotive On
Exhibition In Forenoon
Of November a

The new powerful Diesel-electric To-
comotives which will go into service
on the main line of the Seaboard Air
Line railway for the winter tourist
season will be exhibited in Henderson
the morning of Friday, November 4,
from $3.50 to 1920 o'clock, according
to announcement by the railroad. The
Unit that will be brought here will be
parked on siding near the passenger
station for the two-hour period the
locomotive will be in the city.
First showing of the huge new loco
motive will be in Richmond on No
vember 1. It will also be shown at
Petersburg, then come south to Nor
lima, and switch back to Franklin
Suffolk and Norlina, Va, and then
back this way to Henderson, going to
Franklinton, then Wake Forest and
to Raleigh, Durham and Sanford
Experts will be on hand to pilot
visitors through the locomotives and
to explain the rudimentS of their con-
struction and operation.
The Seaboard has bought nine of
these huge locomotives, said to be
the most powerful Diesel-electric en-
gines ever operated by any railroad.
They will be utilized on the main line
on the fast through trains. With
their Inauguration, the Seaboard will
begin operating its own trains as far
north as Washington, and south to
the principal resort cities of Florida.
The road bed of the main line has
been greatly strengthened with addi-
tional heavy rock ballast in prepara-
ton for the coming of these 1ocomo-
tives. Talk in railroad circles here is
that they will strip three hours off the
old schedules of fast trains between
New York and the resorts of Florida.
