Chill, biting winds whistled over
New York Bay one gray day in jan
uary, 1921, whined through the
city's man-made canyons of granite
and roared inland with their hint
of approaching snow as small
gathering of men trooped into the
International Sporting Club.
1t was not large group-less
than two dozen in all-and to all
outward appearances its chief con-
cern was nothing more than a. dis
cussion of current economic ills.
Certainly they gave no indication,
other than the site of the confer
ence, of their interest in sports,
particularly in boxing. or of their
purpose of bringing some semblance
of order to the boisterous game and
instilling in it a modicum of refine
ment
That was the humble, obscure
birth of the National Boxing Asso-
ciation, an organiza ton critics eyed
with suspicion and believed had less
chance of survival than a European
peace treaty. Eighteen long, event.
full years have passed since it ut
tered it's first, infantile mandate;
years of hardship wrought with dis
illusionment, internal strife and bit
ter external attacks. Meager finances
aggravated the situation and
more than once its weary members
were ready to toss in the sponge.
Miller Choice for Big Job.
Well, the nineteenth annual N. B.
A. convention opens a week from
tomorrow in this city, and one OF
the reasons it has survived is Ed
ward c. Foster, corpulent executive
secretary, who never has wavered in
his crusade for the principles laid
down by the association at its first
meeting. A pioneer in the move
ment, Foster refused to let the N
B. A. die when more than one CO.
hort was only too willing to wash
his hands of the thankless task and
his zeal and enthusiasm more than
anything else, probably, kept it 60
ing.
But Foster is approaching the end

exploited hold to be had
This is a fine howdoya do"
moaned the professor
How do you do" we responded
brightly and politely.
Il wasn't being civil, I was moan
ing said the professor sharply.
What I meant was things have
come to pretty pass, this is an
awful mess, and I'm in a fine stew
Why? Why? Why, simply because
we don't have any cobra hold, or
mongoose mangle, or Siberian stif1e,
or Japanese crab, or windpipe
whiffle grip :. or anything to pub
licize. 1t leaves my publicity man
in a pretty pickle"
why not get good wrestling

II have a good match-Ernie Du-
SEX and Jack Hader, but 1 need a
good hold to go with it. A good
match these days amt worth its
salt if one of the boys doesn't have
an unusual hold like that cobra
business of Nanjo Singh's-that's
what attracts the customers-not
the Wrestlers. This is as good a
match as you can make-on paper,
but it needs a good hold to put it
over A hold is like the mustard on
a ham sandwich, know what I
mean? 1t adds a punch"
The professor has little hope of
finding a new clutch, but he's not
giving up without struggle. He
has his staff poring over unabridged
dictionaries for few choice words
that might be worked out into a
different maneuver, but thus far
has met with little success.

At some tables South won the
second spade trick with the ace
and then played heart, hoping to
find the ace in the West hand. East,
holding the ace of hearts, must
make a hold-off play.
He should play the nine-spot on
the first heart trick, and now the
declarer cannot make his contract.
He must lose two heart tricks, and
either three spades or two spades
and a diamond or club. By holding
off until the third round of spades
South actually makes four-odd on
the hand, as East gets into q con-
tinuous squeeze.
Today's bridge quiz: If South
opens the bidding with one heart
and West bids two spades, is the
latter a pre-emptive bid or
strength bid?
Answer: With this type OF jump
bid, most players indicate probab-
ly only one heart and a very gooo
spade suit. They are afraid to dou-
bic one heart, lest the double be LEFT
in by partner, and their hand L
such that while they could not de-
feat one heart, they could probably
bid game at spades with but little
help from partner.
