TAKE THAT SETTER

WHEN THERE is the slightest
doubt about the outcome. a de-
fender should take his apparently
sure setting trick at once. and not
fenagle around to try to beat
the contract several tricks. Ambi-
tious players, or at least a certain
number of them, seem never to
learn this important. basic and
very simple lesson. With so many
points at stake. in the case Of a
doubled game contract. it is los
ing bridge to play for the extra
points from a set Of one or two
more tricks. If that reasonably
endangers the prospects Of beat
ing the contract at all.

Fine Points in Bridge
sv SHEPARD BARCLAY

Thinking over the situation
South decided that North's heart
A probably had been a singleton
and that heart ruff was in pros.
pect. So he led the heart 4, on
which West discarded his only
club. Now there was no chance u
beat the contract. A club ruff put
West in to lead his last diamond
for a ruff by the spade Q. and
second club ruff put him in shape
TO run the rest of the trunps and
make his contract.
AS 1t happens. South had two
ways to set the contract. A spade
return to the fourth trick would
have prevented West from ever
getting rid Of both his last dia-
mond and his single club. But the
better way to have beaten the
contract surely would have been
by laying down the club A, to do
1t at once. South said after the
hand that he had hoped to set It
two or more tricks with the de-
Tense he tried.

telling this writer how the colored
people would celebrate there, after
Joe had won a fight. However,
theirs was not as big as our ceIe-

reality, II had the same meaning.
So, regardless how far In the conn
try one may go In the south YOU
will find the name of Joe Louis on
the lips OF the people-eyen chill
dren not old enough 20 enter the
class room OF the schools.
JUST AS JOE LOUIS is known
by all people OF this country. he Is
also known throughout the world.
To prove this statement. the heavy
weight boxer OF Russia, Nikoiai
Okorolyov. took time out from be-
hind the German line to write Joe
Louis after the news reached Rus
sia that Joe was now serving with
Uncle Sans armed forces. The
