West opened the king OF hearts
Ind continued with the queen, South
ruffing. South knew that 81 split
= of the outstanding trumps was more
likely than % split; and Vests
possession of the two heart honors
indicated that East's bid had been
based on unusual heart length. That
length, in turn, indicated probable
ehortness in some other suit-most
likely spades. South therefore de-
rided to play East for a singleton
spade.
At the third trick, therefore,
South cashed the spade ace; and
then he finessed dummy's spade
hack. The spade king drew Vests
last trump, and the ace and king
bf clubs were cashed in preparation
for a squeeze. South regained the
cad by ruffing heart and led his
last trump. Dummy could spare the
low club, but any discard by West
would establish either dummy's last
diamond or South's jack of clubs.
At most other tables, the trump
(ineSse was not taken and the
equeeze was not executed. Most de-
elarers therefore lost a trump, a
heart, and club-making only 10
tricks instead of the u which took
the top score.

the club they helped elevate IN

Yanks aim to do to the Tigers
the same thing they did to tho
Indians-knock them off the ton

The three leaders, Tigers.
Indians and Yanks, were all
tied In the all-important lost
column today. each with So
defeats. Detroit leads the
Indians by half q game BY
virtue Of having played and
won one more game. The
Tigers top the Yanks by
full game, having played and
won two more.
Rain interfered with the
Yanks' plans to deal a crushing
blow to the Indians yesterday.
After beating Bob Teller for the
first time this year in Cleveland
in the opener, 81, the Yanks
dropped the 5iz inning nightcap,
5-3. A double victory would have
given the Yanks the No. spot.
The split enabled the Tigers. who
beat the Red Sox, III, to climb
over the Tribe and into the lead.

Pitchers Seek
Coast Records
BY UNITED PRESS

The pitchers are getting in their
last ticks for record performances
as the Pacific Coast league wanes
away.
Jess Flores, young Los Angeles
hurler, pitched a no-hit no-run
game for eight and two-thirds in
nings against Oakland last night.
Marvin Gudat spoiled a perfect
performance by dropping blooper
back of second base with two out
in the ninth. The Angels won, 80,
getting Is hits off Jack Salveson,
George barrow and Verne johnson.
Then there was Herman
(Old Follxs) Pillette, who is
rumored to be even older than
Samuel Braxton Gibson of the
Seals. Pillette set a new Pa
cific Coast league record
when he pitched his 622d start
within the league. He won,
too. San Diego beating Sc
attic SIS In the nightcap of a
double-header. Jo-Jo White
propelled the Rainiers TO 81
victory In the opener by polling
a home run.
Finally there is George Munger,
who came to the relief of Norbert
Kleinke in the first inning of the
game between Hollywood and Sac
ramento. Kleinke had walked one
batter and given three hits. That
gave Hollywood its winning 20
margin. But Munger. in his relief
role, retired 81 batters and gave
up only one hit. Ira Bittner won
the decision.
ALWAYS GIBSON
OF course there Is always Sam
Gibson. He's always around when
the slipping Seals need a victory
to save them from total oblivion.
Glpson tufheQ IN seventh per-
Torrance in the opening game
against Portland last night and
San Francisco won 10-1.
Grandpa Gibson even connected
for a triple and a single, driving
in three runs. Ad Liska and Ken
swope, toiling for the doddering
Ducks, gave the Seals Is hits
In the nightcap, it was differ
ent. Portland thumped the Seals
e-z. taking advantage of the
wildness of Larry Quay. Hub
Kittle and Bob Jensen, who be-
tween them allowed only eight
hits but gave seven walks. A five
run flourish in the fifth off Kittle
was pouring salt in the wounds.
Joe Gonzales gave the Seals seven
hits, got two in three trips him
