FEED YOUR PARTNER

IT Is NO FUN to pick discards
while the opponent is running a
long suit. The slightest mistake can
give him one or more extra tricks.
But if your partner decides to let
20 of one suit to protect another,
you should listen to the message of
his cards and govern your own play
accordingly. In many cases the de-
clarer can be beaten by such team
work, whereas he would have an
easy path otherwise.

Had East tossed diamonds, the

Drive Seems Too Early.
The Cardinals of 1884 came from
seven-game deficit on September
6 to beat out the Giants, but this
year the Redbirds' drive appears to
have come little early, like a boxer
putting on his big rally in the fifth
round and having nothing left when
the tenth came up. Also. the Giants
in 1884 did their bit to help the
Cards by rolling over and playing
dead. something the Reds show no
signs of doing.

with .586 mark. or approximat tely
the pace of the Cards so far this

Each team has approximately As
more games to play. The Reds can
play 500 ball the rest of the way in
and still finish close to the SOC
mark. And there appears little
chance that they will play less than
+ 500 ball.
Burden of Proof on Cards.
The burden of proof appears to
be on the Cardinals, and much as We
admire their play and the way Ray
Blades has brought them along we
don't believe they can convince the
jury. They not only have to play
their own baseball, but they have to
get little cooperation from the
Reds in the way of sharp slump.
And although one little, two lit

the Reds game now and then, we
think they are good enough to MAIN
tain a winning percentage down

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Aug. 19.-
Nail down the furniture and hold

and if you can't wait for the World
Series, this will do.
This three-game war will have
everything but the brass band, and
dozen could be hired on a mo-
ment's notice.
Manager Bill McKechnie of the
Reds thought the occasion porten-
tous enough to announce: Il am
highly confident that my boys will
come through" General Manager
Warren C. Giles, while admitting
nervousness, made similar just-be-
fore-the-battle comment.

vested interest in first place, but
hoping to close up that 5l2-game

slip, the Cards are one of three other
teams that would take the title"
Manager Ray Blades said nothing.

heat around the old town:
Mayor Bernard F. Dickman and
party of St. Louis officials are COM
ing by chartered plane tomorrow for
the double header. The city affairs
Of Cincinnati already are at stand
still. The scalpers are busy.
Manager Bill called on Paul
Derringer for todays game in the
thought that the big control fellows
last couple of games had worked
lot of bad pitching out of his system
and he was ready to go again.
Thin Edge With Reds.
Manager Ray, determined to make
the Cards record l8 out of the last
20 games. nominated Morton Cooper
who had the Reds in chains last
Sunday in ST. Louis.
On the face of it. the Reds have
some paper advantage. They have
beaten the Cards 8 out of IA times
this year. Derringer has done it
twice with one slipup, and Bucky
Walters, who will pitch one tomor-
row. has done it three times with
out miss.
However, the Reds are likely to
have to put up with Curt Davis,
who has clipped them four times, in
one of the Sunday battles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-When 1t
comes to hitting in the National
League the first basemen have it.
Five of the 10 leading batsmen in
the senior circuit are the men sta
toned at the initial sack. The rep
resentation was increased this week
by the feat of Gus Suhr in earning
a place in the top bracket. The
shift from the Pittsburgh Pirates
to the Phillies apparently had a IA
vorable effect.
Johnny Mize of the Cardinals,
leading his league for the second
week with 1853, has been among the
first 10 since June. Zeke Bonura OF
the Giants, Buck Mccormick of the
Reds and Buddy Hassett of the

among the National Leagues lead

pressed that the crack of dawn will

The Reds have been under the
strain Of setting the pace all sea-
son, although it must be admitted
that when their lead was around
IL games the biggest strain was on
the imagination. 1t was difficult to
conceive any team overtaking them
However, despite this handicap, it
is this corners idea that if any team
breaks it will be the St. Louis Car

The Cardinals have been hotter
than the Fourth of July lately. They
have won, up to today, II of their
last 10 games.
Pace Too Hot to Maintain.
No team can keep up such pace
They might continue it a few more
