West overcalled with 2-Hearts,
South bid 2-Spades and West g.
Hearts in an effort to block ex-

caused the venturesome South to
bid S-Spades, whereupon North

then switched to his diamond queer,
which South won. Followed then
the trump K, J, A, @ and 10, then
the marked diamond 10 finesse and
the diamond A. With just two tricks
to go, South saw he was home if
the club finesse would work. If,
however, West had barred the K and
held a diamond as his other card,
the only way to prevent a set of two
would be to come up with the A.
Then there was the chance, in fact
likelihood, that East had the
guarded K, since he had shown
nothing yet for his double but five
small trunps.
After leading dummy's club 10,
East playing the 9, South decided
he must make sure of not going
down an extra 600 points, so played
the A. AS consequence, he was
down 400 instead Of making the
contract-a total swing of 1880
points.

Carrying Money

A recent business note reports
a demand from the men for larger
pocket books.
Does this mean that they have
more money, so that more spa
cious purse is required?
Whatever this sign indicates,
American men have lot to learn
about carrying money. Many OF
them carry far too much in their
pockets. 1t is this habit of carry
ing money that has made the hold
up trade what it is. In spite of all
the talk OF poverty, it is a COM
mon thing to read of some man
being held up on a dark street or
country road, and being compelled
TO hand over his roll of several
hundred dollars to some gunman.
Every time such a robbery is
committed, more desperate young
men are emboldened to hold up
the wayfarer, and many celebra-
ton in the underworld is financed
with the spoils thereby abstracted
from honest citizens.
The traditional place of conceal
ment for the feminine world was
the stocking. 1t was about as safe
a place as could be devised. If
the ladies should return to that
fashion, the handbag snatchers
would have to go out of business.
AS for the men, they need some
safer way to carry money. The
man who goes out with a thick
wad in his vest pocket, which he
frequently unrolls and displays
publicly forms the raw material
out of which the crook world ex-
tracts handsome business.

The Expense OF Speed

One of the most interesting dis

Thirteen makes of automobiles
were tested to find out if it ap-
piled to them all. The result was
uniform, disclosing that Oil as

mounts.

gallon.

Bitter Ambers Faces
Arizmendi Tonight
In Garden Bout
Chance to Regain Title
Armstrong Took Rests
In Win by Lou
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The loss of
title does strange things to a
fighter. 1t has changed Lou Ambers
from a happy-go-luc boy into a
mean, mean man stuffed to the
teeth with the urge to fight his way
back to the lightweight title he
priced so much and lost so hard.
This urge, plus new stability in
his ring work, has made Ambers an
o-to-5 favorite over Baby Arizmendi,
the Mexican, for their 12-round bout
in Madison Square Garden tonight.
Nothing in the records gives Lou
that much of bulge. In previous
fights he took close decision from
the hardy hidalgo, then drew with
him in a terrific brawl that was sup
posed to be light tuneup for his
title defense against Armstrong.
The bout tonight is Louis most i'm
portant since Henry collared the title
after a long and bloody fight. If he
wins no man can say he doesn't de-
serve another crack at the crown. In
fact, the New York State Athletic
Commission already has gone on rec
ord TO that effect.
I'll beat this Mexican said AM
bers, and then with a burst of con-
fldence, I'll 60 on and beat the
nanny singer (Armstrong), too. I
gotta get that title Back"

Austeri, 0'Too|e Find
Cobra Death Lock-
Frog Cut Fatal

Its semi-annual yielding to the
urge to witness a scientific grap-
pling match fulfilled, Washington's
mat colony today prepared for an
other siege of heroes and villains,
with and without mustaches and
masks, following George Pencheff s
37-minute triumph over Tommy
OToole last night in Turner's Arena.
Pencheff and O'Toole developed
an enthusiasm in providing spec
tators one of the few clean tussles
ever staged within the anemic arena
at one time becoming so engrossed
in their work that they tied their
legs in knots and had to be untan-
gled by Referee Benny Bortnick
and Promoter Joe Turner.
Recognized as champion of Aus
tralia and any unclaimed precincts,
Pencheff wriggled out of OToole' S
most Furnishing holds early in the
match. The climax came when
Tommy was battering George with
series Of body slams. He slipped,
however, and Pencheff applied what
was termed frog cut" to win.
Matdom's penchant for making
simple holds sound silly was demon
strated when Manic Singh squashed
Vincent Austeri in 221a minutes with
what has been labeled the cobra
death lock-"
Other matches saw Bibber Mccoy
pin Ed Newman in IA minutes, Jack
Hader trim Wild Man Zim with a
body press in 16 minutes and Babe

sweepstakes competition, is endeav-
oring to make the 18th annual tour
nament attractive to the Capitals
biggest class of bowlers.
Over the years the dub" affair
has served as prep school for many
OF the citys leading bowlers. Few
who have won the championship
were eligible the following year.
Perce Patrick, the first winner;
Tom Kinnahan, Clifton Hollis. and
Paul West are among the cham-
pions who reached greater heights

Cubs Regain English
From Reds, Boost

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Chicaro's
Cubs have bought back the "infield
insurance" they let lapse two years
ago.
The insurance" is Elwood (Woody)
English, for whom the Cubs gave
the Toledo Mud Hens s5O00O in
1927, kept on the bench for couple
OF seasons after four years of star
dom. traded off to Brooklyn-and
purchased from Cincinnati last night
for an unannounced sum.
English was Brooklyns regular
shortstop until sold to the Reds. He
refused to report to Cincinnati, how
ever, and returned to Chicago.
Even though they won the Ma
tional League title last year, the
Cubs were shy of first class infield
reserves. The 1899 roster disclosed
that the same problem might pop up
this season-so they grabbed the
opportunity to buy back their lin
surance" policy.
