system that has beaten every Other sys-
TEN in existenceD
Sam FRY, jr., in a recent maga-
zine article maintained that for
some years past no new plays have
been invented, but that occasional
chances arise for deceptive plays,
which are likely to fool even the
greatest players. He gave as an Illus
tration a play which to our knowI-
edge was first made by David Burn
stine five or six years ago. This
play was as follows
Declarer, playing a three no-trump
contract. held the ace -queen-small of
clubs, the suit that was opened against
him. When his right-hand opponent
played the jack he won with the ace,
concealing the queen. Declarer was
afraid that if the opening leader
again obtained the lead he would shift
to another suit that was unstopped in
both hands. Actually. the opener got
IN on some flnesse and continued his
original suit. which happened to be a
nve-carder, headed by the king. Con-
ndently expecting his partner to win
the second lead with the queen, he
was greatly surprised to see de-
clarer instead turn up with the miss
Ing honor and romp off with his three
uo-trump contract.
At the time Mr.. Burnstine first
made his deceptive play it was news
to us, and to the best of our knowl-
edge was brand-new Since then it
has become common knowledge, along
with all other plays of the same type,
some Of which we will attempt to- de-
scribe. While one or two deceptive
plays are impossible Of recognition,
the success Of most OF them depends
on the gullibility Of the opponent.
Here Is one:
MUMMY holds q fve-card suit
headed by ace-jack-nine, and the
player in front of dummy holds the
king ten small. Declarer leads
small card to dummy with the prob
able intention of finessing the nine.
If declarer's opponent plays small the
first trick will lose to the queen, but
declarer will then be able to bring in
ane remaining four tricks by a sec
ond finesse. The deceptive play is to
play the king on the first lead. De-
clarer will win with the ace in dummy
return to his own hand and lead an
other small one, whereupon the trick
ster plays low. Declarer may now be
fooled into thinking that the original
play of the king was from king
queen-srnau and thus 60 up with the

Golf 'An-Americas,' Men And Women, Chosen For 1888

New York, Dec. a-(UP)-Ralph Guhldahl, U. s. Open champion from Madison, N. J., was rated ahead of Sammy Snead, hard-hit- ting West Virginian and leading money winner of 1938, in the pro- fessional All-America Golf team for 1888 selected today by Golf Maga- zine.
 Guhldahl was rated tops because of his feat in winning the National Open two years in a row. Willie Turnesa of New York, U. s. Anna teur winner, topped the amateur list while Patty Berg of Minneapolis, National champion, headed the women's division.
 The teams:
 Professiona1s-1. Ralph Guhldahl; 2. Sam mead; 3. Paul Runyan; 4. Henry Picard; 5. Harry Cooper; 6. Jimmy Hines; '. Byron Nelson; 8. Johnny Revolta; g. Victor Ghezzi; 10. Tony Penna.

 It wouldn't be surprising to see Cecil Travis hopping from a Washington uniform to that of the Detroit Tigers. Rudy York is be- ing used as Tiger trading bait. The Pittsburgh Pirates would con- sider offers for several veterans, including Paul Waner. They de- sire to come up with a first-rate pitcher in return for Big Poison.
 Because Buck Newson would like to pitch elsewhere and be- cause the St. Louis Browns can get plenty for him, the large right-hander may enjoy another change of scenery. The Yankees are expected to ship Jake Powell and perhaps George Selkirk.

Rose Bowl Racket Gyps Public Again;
 Game a Sellout

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 7.-(UP).- Tickets for the Rose Bow football game go on sale today but as far as the general public is concerned the contest already is a sell-out.
 Despite promises of changes six months ago by the Pacific coast con-. ference and the tournament of roses committee, the only seats available to John o. Fan for the Duke-6outh- ern California classic are Eehind the goal posts.
 The huge bowl seats 91,5O0, and of that total only 15,000 tickets will be available at the ticket marts. These are in the end zones and retail for $3.30 and $40 each. All the rest are ear-marked as follows:
 l. To U. s. c. alumni, to 1.aom preferred" applications for four tickets each already have been mail ed, students, Trojan club members and season ticket holders-44, GOO.
 2. To U. S. c. rooters-3,S00.

 4. To participants in the lavish tournament parade-1,500.
 5. To the press, radio, conference colleges, coaches and others-6,000.
 6. To Duke-5, ,000.
 T. To the Tournament of Roses association-3,500.
 The public" was left out in the cold again, in almost the same freeze-out that brought loud squawks from potential customers when Ma bama met California in the last game. At that time the situation was slightly worse because California has more alumni than any other conference member and each alum nus was entitled to six tickets.
 Special police squads will be sent out today to keep order among the thousands who will l:ne up for the end zone seats. Individual customers can buy no more than four tickets

MANN DEFEATS
 FITCH IN SEVEN
Hamden Heavy Has l9- Pound Edge; Crowd of
 5000 Sees Show

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 7-UP) Nathan Mann, stocky Hamden heavyweight whose fistic star has been waning, took long step for ward along the comeback road today by virtue of well-earned seven- round knockout victory over George Fitch, promising local negro heavy, here last night.
 Mann weighed 195, Fitch 176. A crowd of 5000 saw the exciting battle.
 Four times in early rounds the dynamite in Mann's fists sent Fitch down for lengthy counts; the last time terrific right to tn chein col lapsed the negro and forced the re- fierce to quit counting at five because of the victims apparent inability to continue.
 Twice in the fourth round Fitch took nine-counts, and again in the fifth, but each time he came back gallantly to carry the fight to Mann who had been skidding since Joe Louis knocked him out some months ago.
 In the fatal seventh round, Fitch took an early offensive which soon expired under barrage of left and rights from the Hamden fighter.
 Efforts were being made today to rematch Mann with Tony Galento who knocked out the Hamden boy last summer.
 Al Coccazza, New York middle weight, knocked out Joe Fedwick Shenandoah, Pa., in the third round of a scheduled eight-round semi- final.
 Roy Kelly, Boston heavyweight and Charlie Eagle, Waterbury fought dull eight-round draw.

 Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 7-(UP)- Today, as I wrapped up my grand mothers Christmas present Ga rug hooked for her-froln a large de- partment Store), word came that the record number of 107 horses had been named for the next, and fifth, running of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap.
 The list, at $100 per entry, in- cludes almost all of the worthwhile runners in training save War Ad- Iniral and Lawrin, and is headed by the ubiquitous Seabiscuit, that four legged miser who seems deter mined to bag all the gold in rac- ing. Now only $35,OO shy of the all- time money winning record, Seabis- cults victory in the March 4th race would place the former cast-off a fortune out in front, and complete rags-to-riches saga that would re- Quire a horsey Horatio Alger to tell.
 Big Field
 Rated off his win over War Ad- miral at Baltimore, Seabiscuit would seem to have the handicap at his mercy, after losing it in photo fin- ishes to Rosemont and Stagehand. However, the presence of 106 other horses in the entry list indicates that there are plenty of owners who aren't too afraid of the OLD TRAV- ELIN' MAN.
 Come to think of it, what would happen if all of Seabiscuit's rivals showed up on March 4 to have whack at him? All the owners have to do to make 107 horse race of it is to deposit $250 more on March 3, and $750 the day of the race. Such a thing is improbable, but it isn't impossible. Very few of the owners would miss the SLIGO, because you don't operate a stable if $1,10 upsets your budget.
 Take an owner like Louis B. Mayer, for example, who is now buy ing horses not only left and right, but south by southeast, and north by northeast. He named seven for the handicap, and being a Holly wood picture man might very well decide to see his silks seven times in the race, instead of once. w. E. Boeing, the airplane man, has six horses entered and may take flyer with all six.

the California gold rush of 49 and would like to see one in '39. If Santa Anita wants to do something in the real Hollywood, super terrific style, it should see that the TOT do start.
 Big Job
 What a race that would be!
 Newspapers would have to send ten writers instead of one.
 The radio would need scores of announcers.
 One bugler wouldn't be enough to call the horses to the post, so the United States marine band would play Boots and Saddles"
 The parade to the post would be longer than the combined parades of the American Legion, the Shrin- CTS, the Elks, and Ringing Bros.
 The supreme court would have to be brought from Washington to watch for fouls, and aerial map makers hired to take the picture of the finish.
 It would be devastating. It would be gigantic. It would be immensely colossal.

 The Bonura, who didn't know when he was well off, is hopeful.
 Washington is talking about trading him.
 Only small share of the trade reports have to materialize to make this record off season for exchanges. Only the New York Yankees are satisfied.
 There is the report that the Giants have offered the St. Louis Card inals $250,000 for Joe Medwick or Johnny Mazex. If Branch Hickey peddled Mize, Ray Blades could use the versatile Don Padgett at first base.

Giants Get z6-Year-Old O'Dea for ManCusO;

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 New Orleans, Dec. 2. (UP)-The 37th annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball players opened today with most of the informal talk revolving around the six-player deal between the Chi- cago Cubs and New York Giants A trade generally considered as a two-way house cleaning.
 Many delegates and observers owners, managers and players-ex- pressed but little surprise at the deal, which sent Cub Shortstop Billy Jurges, Catcher Yen O'Dea, and Outfielder Frank Demaree to the Giants for Shortstop Dick aBrtell, Catcher Gus Mancuso and Outfield- CT Hank Leiber. They considered the trade one involving players who had shaken the confidence of their man. agers., It presaged, they believed, future large-scale trading.
 The Deal was consummated yes- terday by Gabby Hartnett, Cub manager, and Manager Bill Terry and President Horace Stoneham, of the Giants. Today they were the only silent baseball men in New Or- leans. And the minor league con- vention had drawn most of the major league moguls.
 Business Good
 Other trades were:
 l. Inf1elder Tom carey of the St. Louis Browns to the Boston Red Sox for Pitcher Johnny Marcum.
 2. Kiki Cuyler, former Brooklyn manager, signed as manager of the Chattanooga Lookouts of the South ern Association.
 3. George (Mule) Haas, formerly of the Chicago White Sox and Phil- adelphia Athletics, signed as man. ager of Shreveport, La, in the Texas league.
 4. Purchase of Outfielder Jimmie Adair by the Birmingham Barons, Southern Association, from Louis- vile, Ky, and Pitcher Del Wetherell from Toronto, International league.
 5. Jersey City, International league, sold Babe Herman to the Hollywood club, which also bought Utility In- fielder Bill Cissell from the New York Giants.
 Rumors persisted that the Phila- delphia Phillies had sold Outfielder Phil Weinstraub to an undiscloSed club; that Bob Linton, Catcher for the Toledo Mud Hens, would be sold to For Worth where he would be manager; and that Dallas would trade Bob Schange, catcher, for Sec ond Baseman Les Mallon of Fort Worth.
 Frisch at New Orleans
 Two minor clubs still were looking for managers-New Orleans and Mmephis. Col. Seymour Weiss, New Orleans owner, said the Pelicans were considering four men, includ- ing Frankie FriSch, former St. Louis Cardinal manager, The reports said New Orleans would like to hook up with the Giants, with Frisch joining the Giant organization and becom- ing manager here.
 Pancho Snyder, Giant coach, re- portedly had the inside track for the Memphis job.
 w. c. "Czar" Bramham opened the minor league convention with the reading of his annual report. Some clubs were expected to pro- test his right to suspend players. They believe this power should be delegated to heads of individual leagues.
 More than 1000 delegates will vote on 35 amendments, most controver- Sial of which would force show down with major league clubs on the practice of covering up" players.
