The Game and Its
Players
By Paul J. Miller, yr.

Vying for the Chess Review Tro-
ply, emblematic Of the women's
chess championship, Miss N. May
Karf1 of Boston has won two games
against Mrs. Adele Belcher in the
eight-game match now in progress
in New York. 1t would appear that
Mrs. Belcher, who garnered the ma
tional title for women in the open
tourney last year, cannot overcome
the early lead of her adversary.
However, the third game looks draw
ish. and anything may happen be-
fore the curtain is rung down on the
final round.
The day before the match began,
the defending champion, then Mrs
Rivero, married Donald Belcher of
the Rockefeller Institute OF Medical
Research, an instructor in mathe-
matics and physics at Sarah Law
renee College, Bronxville. N. Y.
Chess writers. posting releases
under New York dateline, are
touting the match as the first Of its
kind for women In this country.
But such is not the case, as the an
mails of the period around the turn
Of the century will prove.
Chess Review Magazine is to be
commended for donating the silver
cup at issue and sponsoring the
match. There are very few class A
feminine players in the United
States, and you can count on the
fingers Of one hand those who would
rate even minor junior master
ranking. Any woman player who
wins the cup three times gains
permanent possession.

In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord

Reports from Richmond, where
the 18th annual tournament of
national bridge players has been in
progress during the past week, show
that the local players have been
giving a good account of themselves
but the returns are too meager at
this time to indicate the extent of
their success. They have been in
attendance in large numbers, how
ever. and comprise the biggest dele.
cation of any city outside Richmond
itself.
Although the meeting has been
the first of its character to be held
in the South. it has equaled previous
gatherings in many respects, while
in hospitality it is said to have ex-
ceeded all OF them. Many players
from the deep South who have not
heretofore participated in national
tournaments have taken part in this
one, and in addition the numbers
have been augmented by members
Of the Pacific Coast League for the
first time since its amalgamation
with the American Contract Bridge
League. under whose auspices the
event has been held.
On the opening night, which was
a get-t0gether event apart from the
championship matches, there were
more than $50 players in the various
games. which overf1owed the spa
cio,1s bathrooms ~ tho Johp Morchol
Hotel. City officials extended
greetings.
One Of the hands reported as hav-
ing been played In the womens
team-of-four game, the first Of the
championship series, gave the
players something to talk and think
about after returning home. Their
admiration was prompted by the
manner In which South. as declarer,
managed to make a four spade con-
tract on the deal given below.

OF all the collectible items in the
world many appeal because OF their
beauty, others because of quaint
ness, historical interest or any OF
myriad of reasons. The collec-
tion belonging to Mrs. Raymond
H. Keller combines at least the
three itemized attractions. She has
over 80 old glass cruets.
Mrs. Keller has assembled these
in the last two years by diligent
search of half the country, from
Nova Scotia to Florida and west to
Ohio. Most of them, however,
come from Maryland. Virginia and
the District. Some, of course, have
been gifts from friends, but most
have been bought by Mrs. Keller
or her immediate family. Her Sis
ter in particular seems very inter-
ested in adding to the collection.
There are four types of cruets.
or rather cruets for four different
purposes, represented in this COL
lection. They once held oil, wine,
vinegar or cordial. The Oldest date
back to the early 17th century. The
oldest one is also among the oldest.
Instead of lip it has a spout like
teapot. 1t is probably Stiegel
The collection includes both
pressed and blown glass, and, be-
sides the American, there are Vene-
tian, Spanish. Bohemian, Dutch,
German, French and English. They
are not easy to acquire, as the de-
mand far exceeds the supply, and
some of Mrs. Keller's specimens
have come from strange places.
One was picked up in the shop of
an Armenian rug dealer and an
other in a grocery store. Antique
shops specializing in glass are the
usual source of supply.
Two other cruets which are espe-
cially rare are drummer's samples,
small editions of the real thing
One of these is the only milk white
and only English hobnail in Mrs.
Keller's collection It is COM
plete and perfect miniature.
The collector likes to find the
cruet complete with the original
stopper, Of course, but this is not
always possible. Most Of Mrs. Kel-
lers have the original stopper, but
In those cases where 1t was missing
she has substituted another, care
fully chosen to blend with the
cruet.
Ornamental glass bottle shoppers
may have been the real start of
Mrs. Keller's cruet collection. as she
saved such shoppers to play with
when a child. The original collec-
ton has disappeared long ago. but
the shoppers on some of her cruets
are fancy enough to have been part
of it.
Mrs. Keller has adopted good
method of cataloging her collec-
tion. The pieces are all numbered

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
Bv r. r. Taynfon.

The annual rush to buy a puppy
for Christmas is on. From all indi-
cations kennels in this vicinity will
not have enough puppies to supply
the demand, SO it behooves the
earnest seeker for a puppy to do his
shopping right now.
In buying one, whether at Christ
mas or any other time, the first
consideration of the purchaser
should be the integrity of the seller,
whether that seller be breeder, ken
mel owner or owner of a pet bitch
that is bred occasionally. All pup
pies are cute at the age of six weeks
Unless the purchaser is an unusual
ly good Judge of dogs he cannot
tell what the pup will look like at
year. He can only guess from
what the seller tells him and from
the sort of grown breeding stock
that is kept in the kennel.
Even more important, a puppy's
health and disposition depend upon
the sort of care it's mother and
father had when they were pup
pies, and more particularly upon
the sort of care its mother had
when she was carrying her litter.
A good puppy can be ruined in the
first eight weeks Of its life by bad
handling and feeding. These things
are not always apparent immedi-
ately. But much can be surmised
from a survey Of the puppy's en-
vironment and canine family. A
reliable breeder will welcome a vet
erinarian's check-up.
1t Is doubly wise to decide on a
breed, or at least on a size and gen.
eral type of dog, before setting out
to buy. Apartment and city dwell
ers had best stick to the small and
medium breeds Nervous individu-
ais had better choose dogs from the
more placid breeds Dogs chosen
purely as pets should not be ex-
pected to turn into hunting COM
panions or utility farm dogs at
maturity. While most breeds make
good pets and companions, it is
wise If you have any dual purpose
for a dog in mind to choose one
whose heredity may At him for the
dual role.
Fully important as the proper
choice OF q puppy is the proper
care of the pup after you get him.
Many volumes have been written
on the subject. Common sense
mixed with rules is the correct
formula for raising a dog Follow
the instructions Of the person who
sells you the dog as to feeding and
HOUSEKEEPING. Write them down
and follow them to the letter. If
you do not trust his instructions
you cannot have much confidence in
his previous care of the pup. II
you lose his instructions write this
column for leanet on how to care
for puppy.

trump call When dummy went
down. declarer could see nine tricks
with no difficulty and hoped for a
tenth by successful diamond
lnesse She lost the first two tricks
TO the ace and king of hearts: thcl
trumped the third with the ace of
spades and laid down the king, fol-
lowed by the ace and king of clubs
Next she played a small club frcm
dummy and trumped. A lead to the
ten OF spaces placed her in dummy
again, and fourth club was
trumped. Then came the clever play
that enabled her to make the con-
tract but only by reason of a faux
pas on the part of West. She led
the three of diamonds: West played
the five and dummy the six East
won with the ten and then having
neither spades nor clubs was obliged
either to lead into dummy's ace
queen diamond tenace or play
heart and allow South TO discard in
one hand and trump in the other.
II South had flnessed the queen
OF diamonds, the king would have
won and the hand would have been
set one trick, for South in the end
would have to lose a second dia-
mond. Had West covered the three
OF diamonds with the nine, the con-
tract could not have been made. It
was simple slip and one that many
players made. 1t enabled South to
make beautiful end play.
