. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Opponents Discard Often Reveals Easiest Way to Make
 Your Contract
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League

DI WV Nks Cs VkCNclNXNE4
 Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League
 This is hand No. g of the 1889 World Bridge Olympic contest, con- ducted by the American Contract Bridge League. Each hand involves a definite principle in bidding or play.
 1. How do you think the bidding on this hand should proceed nor- mally?
 ?. Should West, as declarer at three no trump, win the first sec ond or third lead of spades?
 3. What suit should West start after winning the spade ace?
 4. How should the play of the hand proceed after South wins the club trick with the queen?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. After three passes. West would normally open the bidding with one no trump. East would carry the con- tract to two no trump, and West will bid three no trump.
 2. West should not win the first spade trick, but should win the se- cond when South shows out, as there is no further advantage to be gained by holding up.
 3. West should start the club suit by playing the three. When North plays low, he should finesse the ten- spot. This is the only safe way to

try for three club tricks.
 4. South will return low heart, which West must win with the ace. Now he plays a small club to the king, returns to his hand with a diamond, and cashes the two good clubs.
 If North discards a diamond, there is nothing to the hand; but if he discards spade, declarer should assume that North does not hold the king of hearts. Otherwise, he would probably hold all of his spades, and hope that his partner could stop the diamonds. Therefore, West is justi- fled in cashing the queen of dia- monds and then taking the diamond finesse.

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star stan Correspondent,

PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-From
Roommate Buddy Lewis comes the
gratifying information that Short
stop Cecil Travis will present
satiating surprise to followers of the
Mats this season. Travis, who has
been casting covetous eyes at the
American League batting champion
ship for the past two seasons, may
accomplish that ambition this year,
but more important, says Buddy, is
the fact the drawing Georgian is a
gilt-edged bet to improve perceptibly
IN the runs-batted-in department.
Travis has been accused Of being
a miserable hitter with men perched
on base and there is evidence to
support that contention. In 1897
he batted a neat 344. yet drove in
only 66 runs. Last year he whacked
out a 1886 average. but was re-
sponsible for smacking over only 81
runs. They say he chokes up in a
tight spot, but Lewis rushes to the
rescue.
Nav, Cece doesn't exactly choke
up" informs the rufned Lewis. Hes
just been pressing too hard heahto-
fore, trying to do everything every
bodys told him, and he hasn't been
taking his normal cut with men on
base. But it's gonna be different
this year."
Cecil's Courage Unquestioned.
'He's been told a million different
things" continued Buddy, and it's
confused him. He's tried to follow
instructions instead Of just hitting
like he can and it hasn't done him
any good. Gosh, it's not a case of
Cece lacking courage-he's just been
trying to be mechanically perfect,
concentrating more on taking one
or pulling the ball to rightfield' like
they've told him rather than hitting
real loose like he does normally.
He'll bat in plenty of runs this
year because they're letting him
alone now-and wouldn't be a
doggoned bit surprised if he doesn't
lead the league in batting. He'll
always be great hitter"
AaeIe ID b 1dlnt SuSplclOn, OF
course, that Lewis may be biased in
discussing Travis. After all, they
bunk, eat and take in the movies
together. Both are infielders, weigh
alike at $50 pounds, extend 6 feet
l inch toward the clouds and bat
left-handed. They even celebrate
birthdays In August within two days
of the other.
But. by the same token, Lewis
knows more about Travis than per-
haps anybody else except his
mother-and that also might include
her. When Buddy is more than
splitting distance from Travis it is
something of an event. Their mutual
admiration society has blossomed

Dorothy Leonard Scores
In 220 Race; Dive Title
Kept by ArIite Smith
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 20.-The Ma
tional A. A. U. had a new indoor
swimming queen today-17-year old
Dorothy Leonard of Worcester,
Mass.-but Arlite Smith of Chicago
continued to rule low-board diving
mermaids.
Miss Leonard, New England 220-
yard free style champion, entering
her first national meet after two
years of competition, dethroned De-
troit's Halina Tomska last night to
win the American title.
She overhauled the defending
champion at the finish, winning by a
stroke in 2 minutes 353 seconds, al
most three seconds slower than Miss
Tomska's American record.
Low-board diving honors went to
Miss Smith for the third successive
year after close duel with another
Chicagoan, Claudia Eckert.
The third national title decided
in the Medinah pool was the 400
yard relay, which the Women's
Swimming Association of New York
won in 4:18.9, five and a half Sec
onds over the record. The winning
team was made up of Lorraine
