West led the seven of spades,
East played the nine and South
won with the jack. South could
now count on three hearts, one
diamond and two clubs in top
cards. Two more tricks were needed
for the contract.
A novice would have taken the
diamond 1neSse. but that would
have lost to EaSt's king and
spade return would then set the
contract. But South, who was no
novice. realized the danger of let
ting East gain the lead He there
fore decided to make his two addi-
tional tricks in clubs, playing so as
to keep East out of the lead
At the second trick he led the
Jack of hearts, overtaking with
dummy's queen. Then he returned
the ten OF clubs, letting it ride when
East played low. Had the finesse
lost, the rest OF the club suit would
have been enough for the contract.
When 1t won, declarer took another
hnesse, casned the club ace, and
got back to dummy with the dia-
mond ace to take the remaining
two clubs. This safe line of play
produced 10 tricks

Think $4,000
Derby Horse
is Injured
BY SID FEEDER

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 20
- R Topping off the list of
circumstances that makes this
the different derby" a report
went the rounds today that the
derby trial mile this afternoon
may uncover an injury to keep
the $40, 900 blue pair out of Sat-
urday's run for the roses.
Starting from apparently well
founded sources, this rumor said
the colt that Tom Bragg, the Cal
ifornia and New York invest
ment broker, bought from G. G.
Van Meter for $40, 900 less than
two weeks ago had turned up
with splint ailment and q sore
back and that his performance
in the annual mile "previeW"
would decide his chances of get
ting to the post Saturday.
Trainer Willie Crump refused
to discuss the whole thing, but
it was noted that the atmos-
phere around Blue Pairs stable
was not of the holiday variety
that usually stamps an opti-
mistic derby barn.
4. At any rate this possibility
and the showing-if any-of q
colt named sporting, purchased
recently by Dan Withers of Chi
cago, are the only factors which
save today's trial stake from be-
ing just q $4,000 workout.
