T axe Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Envelope or "Onvelope."

I do not know who started the
popular pronunciation of "On-vel-
ope," but it is plain that he COR
she) did so to demonstrate the
purity" of his French. And of
course, as it always happens, Amer
leans rose to man to embrace and
cherish the wrong way to say the
word. 1t is strange but true that
in the United States mispronun-
Citations are as catching as the
measles.
The word envelope, to begin with,
is English. The French word, from
which it came, is spelled with two
rs thus: envelope. And no
Frenchman in his right mind
would pronounce it "On-vel-ope.
In the French pronunciation the
first syllable is nasalized, and the
stress falls on the second syllable,
thus: ah -VLUP.
Moreover. the pronunciat ation ON
vel-ope," with the first syllable
rhyming with bon, con, don, has
SO little sanction that, for the time
at least, it should be looked upon
as dubious. In the Merriam Web
ster's, English Oxford. Century,
Funk and Wagnalls', Macmillan's
and Winston. the first syllable
rhymes with hen. men, in the first
choice pronunciation. Webster's
alone shows as second choice ON
vel-ope." The second choice of OK
ford and Macmillan gives the first
syllable the nasal sound. "ON-vel-
ope" does not appear at all in Gen.
tury, Funk and Wagnalls', nor Win
ston's.
Best usage, according to all die
tionaries, is: Envelope.

West opened the eight of spades at
both tables. In the first room, the
South player put up dummys ace
OF spades and drew trumps. Then
he led low spade from dummy. But
East put up the king of spades and
returned club. His partner had
slgnaled the seven and deuce OF
clubs on the second and third rounds
OF trumps, so East had no doubt
about the right suit to return. South
was set one trick and complained
about his hard luck. With any other
opening lead, he'd have had time
to set up the clubs for a spade dis
card, and even with the worst
opening lead, it was unfortunate
that the spade king was behind the
ace instead of in front of it.
In the other room, South ducked
the opening lead, allowing East to
win with the spade king South
knew that the slam was hopeless if
East held both the spade king and
club ace. If ne lacked the king of
spades, it was vital to finesse the
first trick. If he lacked the ace of
clubs, it wasn't necessarily fatal to
let him win the first trick.
East looked at the dummy and
wondered what to return at the
second trick The club holding in
the dummy looked decidedly for
bidding, so East returned diamond.
That gave South the contract. He
won with dummy's queen. drew
trumps and discarded his clubs on
dummy's established spades.
The beauty of Souths play was
that he made East guess at a time
when he had practically no infor-
nation. Presenting difficult guesses

profitable types of bridge swindling.

Fu|Iback Berth Big
Worry al Lansing
BY JERRY LISKA

EAST LANSING, Sept. 20
(P)-A source of woe to Michi-
gan State coaches last season,
the fullback berth currently APP
pears the best fortified position
in the Spartan camp.
Chief reason is the brilliant
comeback of Ed Ripmaster, 1885,
FOUNDER from Grand Rapids,
who was benched the entire 1941
season by a knee injury after
showing promise as sopho-
more. Other injuries stripped
the whole fullback contingent
last year and third string
quarterback, Bob Sherman, fin
ally was drafted to take over
the job.
Coaches expected to see little
more of Ripmaster after his
injured knee required surgical
attention, but he turned up for
the 1912 practise in tip-top
shape and itching for crack at
his old job.
In yesterdays scrimmage, per-
forming on both the first and
second teams. Ripmaster sent
opponents rolling like ten-pins
with vicious drives through the
middle and off tackle. He bulled
across from the 10-yard stripe
for one or two touchdoWnS scored
in a brief contest.

Detroit Ends
Home Season

DETROIT, Sept. % - P) -
Baseball closed up shop for the
year at Briggs Stadium today,
as caretakers took over to fix
it up for f DOT b / after as
Whacky season as the Detroit
Tigers have produced in years.
AS the curtain came down on
the home o n, this much
could be said for the Tigers -
that down to the last out their
fandom was treated in the style
to which they had become ac-
customed over the long pull
since last Spring.
In bowling out on the home
scene, the Tigers defeated the
Chicago White Sox, 8 to 3, in
the same sort of misfit contest
which has heretofore marked
this war : burdened season for
Detroit. In this instance it was
the White Sox who were I'M
orthodox.
Eight bases on balls from Bill
Dietrich in the first two innings
sent the Tigers off to a 4 to 0
lead, which they found easy to
protect behind the six-hit pitch
ing of Paul Dizzy Trout. 1t
was Dizzy's reconciliation after
his recent run-in with fans.
Then in the seventh, with a
former teammate, Lefty Jake
Wade pitching for Chicago, the
Tigers turned loose seven hits
for five more runs. Trout hit one
of his own two. doubles in that
rally.
The victory moved Detroit to
within a game n d a half of
fourth place Cleveland, against
whom the Tigers finish the cam
paign in a two-game series this
week END at Cleveland. Wheth-
er the Tigers will have a chance
to break into fourth place in
that series, their only remaining
games, depends on what Cleve-
land does in its forthcoming
three games against Chicago.

DAWN BREAKS
BY the diligent use Of charts,
graphs and pictures, Ernest
Buckholz, football-wise mentor
of Mount Clemens High School,
explained that he was referring
to Bruce Flu, $50 pounds of full
back at Royal Oak, who will
make things clearer Friday af-
ternoon here by appearing in
pearson.
He's a mighty big boy, and
the rest of the backfield will
look somewhat like him." Buck
holz brooded. They'll use Flu
to smack the line and NOW us
down generally, and they use
plenty of laterals just to mix
things up. We bowled them over
20-12 last year and it took some
bowling-especially in the last
half. l guess they got sore at
us. And most of them are back
again this year.
JOHNSON HURT
Besides Flu, Buckholz is per-
turbed about the shoulder in
jury sustained in his game
against BEDFORD Union last Fri
day by Bather quarterback
Johnny Johnson. And Siewert's
wrist injury, although coming
along satisfactorily, keeps the
coach's eye on the big TANKER
who is an integral part of the
Bathers' air offensive.
Buckholz indicated that Bob
Manning will see more action in
this game, based on steady
performance last week, al
though Jack Sierens will start
at fullback. In the event that
Johnson's shout der injury
doesn't respond, it's likely Jim
Smith and John Roberts will see
action.

Royal Oak looked mighty
good last Saturday, walloping

Strong Yankee
hfeM Same
as III Team
By GALE TALBOT

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-(P-
With one minor exception, the
same Yankee infield that chilled
Brooklyn's hopes with seven
double plays in the Al world
series will be in there perform
ing miracles again when
the first wartime playoffs open
week from today on the
skinned" diamond at Sports
mans Park in st. Louis.
LONE NEWCOMER
The lone newcomer to the
champions inner works is Rudy
Hassett, the Irish thrush who
has replaced Johnny Sturm at
first base. While he is not ex-
actly ball of fire, Buddy is at
least as good a first sacker as
Strum, his hitting having shown
important improvement since he
learned to pull" them to right
field.
Incompatible Joe Gordon
still holds doHn second base
and three or four acres of ada
cent territory; little Phil Rizzuto
scampers like rabbit around
the shortfield, and the veteran
Red Rolfe at third is in better
health than he was year ago.
It is, without much argument,
the best infield in baseball and
considerably better than that Of
the Cardinals.
To cover any possible contin-
gencies, it might be added that
the Yankee quartet also is bet
ter than Brooklyn's, as 1t dem
onstrated conclusively in the Al
series.
GORDON GOOD
Yankee partisans do not go
so far as to claim that Gordon
is better than he was year ago,
even though his season batting
average is nearly so points
higher. They are perfectly con-
tent to say that Joe is lust as
good" What they do think,
though, is that Rizzuto has taxi
en- on little added polish by
having played another season
with the Flash.
Rolfe was a very sick third
baseman during the Al series
and was not able to play a game
until mid-season this year, but
since then his health has i'm
proved slowly and surely and he
declares he feels strong enough
TO hustle right through even a
seven-game series.

Shaughnessyt to
Bring Famous
Formation East
BY.JOHN F. CHANDLER

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Sept.
% Up Clark Shaughnessy,
wizard of the T system, finally
gets around this week to giving
his famed football formation a
flyer in the east after Is long
years of campaigning in the
deep south, middle west and far
west.
The University of Maryland
mentor, coaxed away from STAN
ford last spring to become the
head man in athletics here, con-
fidently believes his Old Liners
will pull few surprises this
fall.
He'll tell you more about it
after Maryland meets Univer-
sity of Connecticut here Satur-
day, but Shaughnessy's popped
up squad is rarin' to 60 out and
show everybody how the T for
nation should be played.
Shaughnessy, whose teams at
Tulane, Loyola of the South,
University of Chicago, and STAN
ford won 1913 games, lost "a and
tied Ia since 1915, admits Mary
land could use a little more
speed, beef and reserve. But, he
grins, We'll win a lot of games
because we're going to be smart
er than our opponents"
The Old Liner squad of more
than so is largest in Maryland's
history, includes IA lettermen,
good sophomore additions, and
Shaughnessy already is booming
his quarterback, Tommy Mont,
for All America consideration
although he's only seen the 1885,
pound speedster in practise.
