When East and West did not COM

shown. and South had to exercise some
care in order to make his four-heart
contract. With a spade opening, de-
clarer would win with dummy's ace
and discard diamond. A heart

another spade would be led through
dummy. II declarer then drew all the
outstanding trumps, he would lose the
contract. since the club suit did not
break. Successful declarers drew only
one more round of trumps, then cashed
the three top clubs and trumped a
fourth club In dummy This line of
play provided an extra chance If Gas
was the case) the same opponent was

PnoT E. G. FULLERTON, r. c.
A. r, found himself in an en-
barrassing position when in March,
1920, he was stranded 1000 miles from
civilization with q broken propeller
at Fort Simpson, Northwest Territory.
The ice had not yet gone out Of the
Mackenzie River: communication with
Edmonton. Alberta, would be impos-
sible for months. There was nothing
to do. Fullerton decided, but sit and
wait for spring to come.
Then Walter johnson, q Fort Simp-
son former cabinetmaker, proposed q
daring plan. He thought he could
white a propeller-if he had the
right kind Of wood.
A search Of the settlement disclosed
. supply Of sleigh boards, well sea-
soned, in a warehouse A number of
these could be cut to shape and
glued together-if glue were available.
Somebody suggested boiling down an
old pile Of moose hides. The trick
worked; after days Of working with
crude tools johnson completed the
propeller. Dramatically, Pilot Fuller
ton fitted it to his ship.
A short test flight proved it was
satisfactory; at 1900 revolutions per
minute 1t pulled the 2-ton metal
Junkers monoplane smoothly through
the air.

Tournament Hand.

THE Vanderbilt Cup tournament this
year produced remarkable num-
Der of interesting hands-so many, in
fact, that even at this late date we
still recollect many Of them yividly.
For example, q hand that was played
in the qualifying round, in which one
team competed against another in a
six-board match with the total points
deciding, gave the East players an op-
portunity to make q fine defensive bid.
AS there were eight teams in a section
and they all played the same hands,
eight individual East players had q
chance to star.

Tommy's wife the affair could be
more speedily precipitated.
1t was. In June, right after the
musical was put into cans. Tommy
proposed. He wanted Tina to run
away with him. Tina shook her head.
Divorce Freda, and she, Tina, would
marry him. Tommy was grieved. But
that was the ultimatum, and the next
week he instigated divorce proceed
ings.
The trial was speedy affair. Freda
contested only mildly In the end
Tommy got his divorce and Freda
got a settlement for herself and the
children, and Tina was free to have
Tommy.
EVERYTHING was fine except for
one thing. Freda's settlement for
herself and children amounted to
$l,400 a month. and that was Just
about the total Of Tommy's salary!
No one knew this but Freda, be-
cause Tommy was one Of the vainest
men that ever lived. People thought
he made lot more than that, and
he wanted them to think so. When
the question arose in court Tommy
was torn between two desires, and his
vanity won. He told the court, be-
cause he knew the figures would be
published, that he made thousand
dollars a week.
TINA found out about it when the
divorce papers were being made final.
She noticed Tommy wasn't as free
with his money, and she wondered.
Finally she asked him point blank
and Tommy confessed. It was shock
to him to hear Tina rave You see,
when Tina had insisted that he marry
her he thought for sure it was love
she was after, instead of riches. Her
attitude soured him. He never quite
got over it, and the way he felt began
to show in his work.
So when Tommy's option came up
for renewal it wasn't grabbed and
Tommy found himself out on his
ear. Tina, too. didn't do so well. The
public can stand an awful lot, but
this business of breaking up Tommy
and Freda with two kids involved, and
Tommy's job gone haywire, was too
much. Besides, Tina's hair was more
brassy than ever. Her option went
the way of Tommy's.
Tina never got over it. And the
hardest thing of all for her to under
stand was that Freda, another woman,
had proved herself smarter Smarter?
Well, Freda was in love with Tommy.
Actually. Which gave her an ad-
vantage. At any rate, Tommy and
Freda are now together again, and
Tina-well, no one knows or cares
where Tina Is.

a couple of ballads on Jerry's pro-
gram. She figured she was on her
way to the top. She wanted fame
and money more than anything.
Jerry was young and good looking
and unmarried. They fell in love.
Or so the newspapers said. 1t was
good publicity. Young romance. Sim
cere devotion. That sort of stuff.
Then one day Jerry didn't show
up for rehearsal. He had eloped with
Marion Gerda. Marion Gerda was 80.
She was rich. She had fallen in love
with Jerry. She wanted him. She
bought him a yacht and established
an annuity for him, and he mar
ried her
\ 1t broke Tina's heart. She disap-
peared for fortnight. Convalescing,
the newspapers said. She didn't
spend more than two weeks conva-
lescing, because to do so might cause
the public to forget who she was.
Her affair with Jerry was the ex-
cuse she needed When she announced
love We were supposed to understand.
Anything she did from now on was
supposed to be justified.
Some of the things that happened
during the next five years are not
worth writing about. Tina almost
got to the top on several occasions.
She never quite made it, because she
couldn't deliver the goods. But she
had plenty of publicity and plenty of
money. She didn't allow scruples or
morals to stand in the way of what
she wanted.
In the spring of the year she reached
27, Tina woke up one morning and
discovered she was beginning to look
old. She had lived too fast and too
high. She had bleached her hair
and it was beginning to get that
brassy look. She decided she'd better
make her pile in one last coup unless,
at %, she wanted to go on relief.
CHE decided that Tommy Hedwig
was the man. Tommy Hedwig
was an associate movie producer. He
was rich and famous and had a wife
and two children. He was, to all ap-
pearances. happily married
That was the spring that Bill Ga
briers orchestra, with whom Tina was
singing, was making musical for
Pacific Studios. Tommy Hedwig was
the producer, SO Tina saw a lot of
him.
She took it easy at the start. If
Tommy were happily married he
might be hard to bring in tow. But
it developed that Tommy wasn't as
hard as she had feared.
Tina still had something about
her. even at 27, that attracted men.

KELLY WINS 20 MILE
 RACE BY 30 YARDS

Boston, March 21-(UP)-Johnny Kelley of Arlington, 1885 winner and runner-up last year, today loomed as the ma nto beat in the 42nd annual B. A. A. marathon on April 18th.
 The 30 year old Irish-American clerk, who represented the United States in the last Olympic mara than, won the 20-mile North Med- ford race on Saturday for the fifth consecutive season from field which included several important contenders for the 26-mile, 385-yard Patriots day grind.
 Kelley led Gerard Cote, French man who excells in snowshoeing, by thirty yards at the tape after the pair had run abreast for most of the distance.
 Kelley's winning time of 1:58:08 3-5 was about five minutes slower than the course record which he set last year but his per- formance was considered a good one because the day was so warm.

Daytona Beach, Fla, March 21 - (UP) most important opening day has always been the one in Washington where the presi- dent, clutching a bag of peanuts in his left hand to give the Democratic touch, throws out the first ball with his right. This has always been sure-fire front page stuff, even when the presidential incumbent happened to be statesman whose throwing form was remindful of the captain of girls volleyball team.
 But Washington is going to have to yield opening day honors this season, president or no president, because Joe Engel, the "Barnum of baseball" has set his heart on giv- ing Chattanooga, Tennessee, the most amazing opening since Abner Doubleday tore his pants sliding into second base.
 Different
 Chattanooga will have no presi- dent present when it's lookouts and the Nashville volunteers open the Southern League race, but it will have a wild elephant hunt and an ostrich which, at given signal, will run around the bases and lay an egg on home plate.
 These plans were revealed to me today by Engel, the same man who decorated his park with live can aries two years ago, and who once traded a left-handed pitcher for a turkey.
 "The wild elephant hunt came to me in a dream" Engel said, and I could scarcely wait to wake up so

 Going into the final match, Nau- gatuck and Somerville each had won Al games and lost seven. Then the Naugatuck outfit turned on the heat and showed unbeatable form to win the necessary two games.
 Lost Last Year
 Last year Naugatuck led the league in games won but a play-off with the first four teams competing was required then and Naugatuck had an off day, losing the title. This year no play-off is required and Naugatuck holds undiSputed possession of the title.
 The local team used: Fred Baker, captain, Fred Ashmore, Jr, Joseph Smith, Carl Hassell, George Hallo- way, George Merkle, Gordon Whit taker, Elton Abramson, Joseph Va linches and Idris Alderson.
