The Wronq Lead

In choosing the opening lead
against no-trump contract it Is
well to note the vast difference be-
tween a four-card and a five-card
suit. It usually pays to lead from
five-card suit headed by some ten
ace such as ace-queen or king-jack,
for you have slight chance of run
ming off five tricks Immediately and
very good chance of eventually
capturing four tricks in the suit.
Thus, even though your opening
lead costs trick, you will often
defeat a three-no-trump contract,
provided your partner can win an
early-round trick.
When holding only four-card
suit, the proposition is entirely
changed, for if you lose one trick,
the remaining three that you will
win is not sufficient compensation.
Here is typical example:
North, dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

EVERGREEN BOWL T00pEN MONDAY
 SAYS DIRECTOR
Instruction Classes, Sports, and Activities Start
 Second Week

Juneau's recreational center for both children ard adults, Evergreen Bowl, will be officially opened for the summer next Monday according to Harold F. Roth, Juneau school instructor and director of the Bowl
 Regular classes in woodwork, swimming, life saving, tennis, golf, basketball and other activities are not to be started until the begin ming of the following week, how ever, said Roth. The major DOT tion of the first week is to be used in getting the bowl ready for the summers activities.
 Director Roth wishes to call at tention to the rule that the tennis courts are to be reserved exclusively for adults from noon Saturday un- til Monday morning at 8 o'clock, and that the time ruling pertains to holidays also. Younger tennis fans may use the courts during this re- served time if there are no adults desiring to use them.
 "A large number of persons have been using the tennis courts during the fine weather we have enjoyed so far this summer" said Roth. And on many of the days large number of persons had to leave dis appointed because the present facili- ties arc not adequate for the in creasing number of tennis fans. Dur ing tournament time reservations for the courts may be made at the rec reational office at the bowl"
 The recreational director said the telephone company has again of fered to donate a telephone for the recreation center.

Erskine Pitches Islanders To Second Victory Over
 Juneau Nine

Claude Erskine pitched one Of the best games of the season last night, holding the Moose down tc one hit and ending the seven in- ming battle, to l.
 Beth the Moose ana the Islanders were at their best, Mooserlan John son allowing only four hits from his arm. But it was the pitching of Erskine and the fielding O.. Niemi that won the ball game fol the Islanders, making it two down for the Moose and both of the beat ings administered by the Island team.
 Two In First
 Up against Johnson's close pitch ing, Roller came up to bat TOT Douglas and struck out Manning, after several attempted bunts, got to the bag on Freddy Schmitz's error; Erskine struck out, and home run Rustad lifted one over the fence, his third of the season.
 The Moose failed to get a solid hit from ErSkine, and Lawson, Blake and Fred Schmitz were sent back to the dugout after grounding out. But the next frame showed one hit and one run each for the rival teams, with Martin taking the first and only base hit from Erskine.
 Snow was brought home from has base on balls when Martin dou- bled, the score board showed one run for the Moosemen, and the pos rihle whitewash was averted. Doug las, however, fared no better, with Andrews making the only run of the canto with his homer. Bell all most scored when he came up after the -the-fence ball, getting to first on walk, stealing base, but was left on third when Eddie Roller struck out, making three away.
 One More Hit
 The next five innings were mark cd by close ball playing on the part of both teams, and by superb fielding by Niemi Only one hit was made in the last five, this when Jensen took a single from John son, but the Island left fielder failed to make it score because of Mooseman Jchnson's close pitching on the next three at bat.
 Niemi started his work in the out field in the third, catching Jack Schmitz's hard hit fly. Then in the fifth frame Niemi flashed to life again in fast double play by catch ing Sharek's fly and throwing to Big Andy on first where Andrews caught Martin off base. But the stubby center fiel der was not through. It was in the last inning that he caught two flies, one after the other, and left it up to Erskine to strike out Werner and end the ball game.
