IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of my dear
son, William Custer, who passed away
ten years ago today, September 7,
1928.
Time speeds on; ten years have passed
Since death it's gloom it's shadow cast
Within our home where all seemed
bright
And took from US shining light.
| miss that voice and ever will
His vacant place there is none can fill;
Down here we mourn but not in vain,
For up in heaven we will meet again.
l will never forget that morning
AS long as life exists
In the early hours of dawnipg
Our loved one went to his rest.
Oh, how sad it was to say goodbye
In that morning of long, long ago,
But God has given promise
We can meet where no tear will flow.
Some day hope to meet him
Some day, | know not when,
To clasp his hand in that better land
Never to part again.
Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear
Fond memories linger every day:
Remembrance keeps him near.
By his mother,
EFFIE CUSTER.

He trumped one Of his two remaining

II declarer had been sitting in the

have had no trouble in making the

Making Dummy Declarer.

GONE players never seem to realize
- that declarer has complete use OF
26 cards and not merely 13. There Is
type of hand known as making
dummy declarer," which is often over
looked by the average player. He can
see only his own hand and his own
losers and he completely overlooks the
fact that he should ignore his own
hand and set up the dummy For such
players We advise that they mentally
change seats with their partners and
play from the other side of the table.
Here is slam hand that was thrown
away because declarer could see only
his own hand.
Neither side vulnerable.

Because of lack of any practical

PLAN
BELMONT MATCH

NEW YORK, April 6.-They are
steaming up a War Admiral-Sea-
biscuit race again, this time for
the Belmont Park track over the
Derby distance of a mile and a
quarter for a purse of 100000.
It is to be match race, prob
ably at 1875 pounds, and both
Owners Sam Riddle and Col.
Charles S. Howard are reported
to be tentatively agreed on all of
the above conditions.
The plan is to bring together
the two distinguished scions of
the Man O. War family tree in
September, and it is to be a
match race so that there will be
no interference with either horse
and so that there can be no alibis
after the 4-year-old War Admiral
and 5-year-old Seabiscuit have met.
Provisional arrangements have
been made over the telephone with
both owners, and the negotiations
are being handled by the chair
man of the New York Racing Com
mission, Herbert Bayard Swope.
Howard is reported to have tele-
phoned Swope from the Pacific
Coast, where Seabiscuit is to be
raced this summer and an inter
mediary is said to have ap-
preached Sam Riddle and received
every promise of cooperation.
Joseph E. Widener, who controls
the beautiful Belmont Park, was
today reported to be enthusiastic,
particularly if Swope's racing com
mission would approve a nominal
S. box office price for the occa-
sion and in order to produce the

HELEN N 0 0 D Y
PLANS RIGOROUS
court SCHEDULE.
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, April 6 GN.S0 E.
Eighteen years of campaigning on
the tennis courts of the world may
have dulled the speed of Helen
Wills Moody but those years of
court-pounding have neither dim
med her flaming ambition nor
quenched the burning fires Of her
competitive spirit.
Quite the contrary, for the
writer learned from an authorita
tive tennis source today that
Queen Helen is planning the most
ambitious schedule she has ever
attempted and, if successful, she
will win more championships in
this comeback campaign than she
has ever held in any previous year.
OF course you are wondering
why a girl in her early thirties-
girl who has won about all the
tennis laurels anyone could hope
for-should suddenly decide to go
through the wear and tear of an
other terrific tennis campaign.
PLANS TOUR
I have the answer to that one,
too. 1t is this: Queen Helen plans
to make a lecture tour of the
United States on her return from
abroad. Yes, sir, the little girl
you recall with the poker face and
the pigtails will soon become the
SuaVe, poised matron of the lee.
ture platforms.
And if her talks on tennis and
art should incidentally help sell
some of her paintings-Why, that
will be just so much velvet. Our
Helen knows the value of a dollar
as well as the next one.
Anyhow, Helen will sail for
England May 20 She will play in
three minor British tournaments
to tune up her game and get
ready for the Wightman Cup
matches June 10 and II.
AMBITIOUS SCHEDULE
Next she plans to take whirl
at the British championships
beginning June 20 at Wimbledon
and here she may again have the
pleasure of meeting her old rival
Helen Jacobs-in the finals.
After Wimbledon. Queen Helen
will take a shot at the German
championships at Berlin July 8,
and follow that with the Polish
championships at Warsaw. She
will play at Warsaw at the urgent
invitation of her good friend,
Jedwiga Jedrejowska, the Polish
champion.
Then she will be ready to return
and enter the American cham
pionships at Forest Hills.
That seems ar overly ambitious
schedule. and L doubt that she
can wage an all-conquering cam
paign, but you can't blame the
little lady for trying.
