Escapes From Wife
JANUARY u, 1889.

PARIS (R-Clothed only in a

man stood in the Boulevard Ras-
pail. He told police his wife had
threatened him and snatching the
weapon he escaped to the street.

It has been said that if your op-
ponents never make a contract
which you have doubled you are not
doubling frequently enough. We will
admit that II we had been in Vests
position, we also would have doubled
three hearts, although the contract
was made and with it game.
West opened the king of hearts,
then shifted to the king of clubs.
Receiving the deuce from his part
ner, West next led a diamond. South
won in his hand and led a second
trump. West now cashed his ace of
hearts, then played his remaining
diamond.
Our readers may have spotted the
squeeze in which West was now en-
broiled and from which there was
no escape. On dummy's fourth dia-
mond South discarded a spade, then
trumped a club and played his two
remaining trumps. AS the last trump
was played, West had to make a
discard from his ace of clubs and
king-jack OF spades. There was
nothing to do but throw the jack of
spades. The king of spades fell on
the 18th trick, and south's queen
now being high, very lucky con-
tract had been made. incidentally,
West could have beaten the hand by
leading spades twice and setting up
q spade trick for himself before his
trumps were removed.

As the inter-club battle COM
menced last Saturday at $3.50 pm.
In the quarters of the Four C's some
18 players were available for Divan
play while number of Capital City
players arrived too late for the be-
ginning of hostilities, the last game
being concluded at 2:15 am. when
Stuart Wagman defeated former
Capital City Champion Rousseau.
Top board for Capital City
was played by District Cham
piOn Martin Stark who won
from Divan Champion Simon
Naidel.
Donald Mugridge, champion of
Capital City for 1899. won from
veteran Carl Hesse. Henry Rous-
seau lost to Stuart Wagman at third
board; italian Ace Ariel Mengarini
scored against Ernest Knapp, Divan
president, while Garner lost to Rob-

pion.
All Games Exciting.
Excitement characterized the play
at every board but at mid-evening
1t was apparent it was the Divan's
victory opportunity and the youth

Gus disastrous Journeys, steadily
marched forward to triumph, 8-6.
Arrangements of the inter-club
match were made by Norval Wig
ginton, secretary of the Washing

Mengarini, new chess director OF
Capital City Chess Club.
The inter-club fray was Director

StdTt. OeVeral Otner boats were
from 2 to 5 miles away, but no
amount of shirt-waving and shout
ing would attract them. But the
fishermen decided that if the other
boats could see some gulls around
their boat they would come arun-
nin,' figuring that some good rock
fishing was in prospect.
So they cut up the fish in
their catch and tossed them
overheard.
In no time at all they had 500
screaming and soaring gulls around
them, all diving and picking the
floating bits of fish from the water.
1t certainly worked. A boat about
2 miles away saw the gulls and
figured that it, too, would get in on
this school. They didn't get any
rock, naturally enough, but they
were able to tow the disabled boat
to port.
Rock and Trout Good,
And now for the fishing prospects.
Capt. Robert E. Lee of Shadyside
reports good catches of Rock and
trout trolling. Bottom fishing is nil.
Capt. Leo Bruette of Stemmers Run
has much the same report. saying
that his catches are in the after
noon and depend on good weather.

Alertness of Bill Schmitz, Badger

difference between victory and a
tie. After the second Badger score
the kick for the extra point was
blocked. Schmitz picked up the
ball and dashed across the goal.
Wisconsins first tally came in the
opening quarter. Schmitz tossed q
long pass, good for 81 yards, to
Quarterback Fred Gage, who caught
the ball on the and sped across.
Cages kick for the extra point was
good.
Shortly after the kickoff Jim
Richardson, Marquette sophomore
ace, took Badger punt on his Is
yard marker and raced IS yards for
a touchdown. Bob Kemnitz booted
the extra point and the score was
tied, Tall.
A Marquette tumble, recovered
by Wisconsin on the Marquette 26,
paved the way to Wisconsins Sec
ond touchdown. After two line plays
failed to gain Schultz passed to
Bob Cone, substitute left halfback,
for a touchdown. Then came
Schmitz' play on the blocked kick.
With less than three minutes
to play Marquette started scoring

not stopping until it scored. The
marker came on a 34-yard pass
