UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Le Leonardo Master in Monv Fields

Some time ago I was asked to
name the IL men whom I consid-
cred greatest in human history.
Among those named were Calico,
Isaac Newton, Shakespeare and
Thomas Edison. I also listed Leo
nerdo da Vinci.
Perhaps in all history no other
man has shown such skill in so many
fields. He was an artist and a
sculptor He was a musician, a
mechanical engineer and an in
ventor. He was an expert in anatomy
and botany. He knew the astron-
onny Of his time, and was an archi-
tect.
A man who is a jack-of -all-trades
Is not likely to be a master of any
OF them. Leonardo, however, was
. master in the many fields he en-
tered. On anatomy, for example, he
knew more than any doctor of his
time.
Leonardo lived in the time OF
Columbus. but perhaps 1t would be
Just as well to say that Columbus
lived in the time Of Leonardo. While
Columbus was finding a New World
ACROSS the ocean, Leonardo was
opening new worlds of knowledge.
n Leonardo was born in the village
Of Vinci. This explains the "da
vinci" part of his name; "da"
means "of" in Italian.

AWeSt led the 8 OF spades, dummy
played low and East ducked! That
was the key play of the hand. South
~uas now doomed to defeat, whereas
he would have made his contract
if East had played the spade king.
o., South won the first trick and en-
tered dummy with a heart to take
the club finesse. But West had the
club queen and returned his other
spade to establish his partners suit.
The ace of clubs gave East the lead
in time to run the spades and de-
feat the contract.
Now see what happens if East
wins the first trick with the king
OF spades. A spade return is taken
by dummy, and the 10 of clubs is
nnessed as before. West wins but
cannot return spade since two
rounds of that suit have already
exhausted his supply. His forced
shift allows South to knock out the
club ace while he still holds spade
stopper. Declarer thus makes 10
tricks If East puts up the spade
king at the first trick.
