NEW LONDON, Conn, Aug. T.
Two Hawaiian swimming stars, Keo
Nakama and Bill Smith, shared the
spotlight today as the National AAU
outdoor championships settled down
to serious business in the Ocean
Beach Park pool.
Nakama, sophomore at Ohio
State University who was sensa-
ton of the indoor campaign, was a
top-heavy favorite to win the mile
race while Smith, who will enter the
Columbus, Ohio, institution next
month, was favored in the 220-yard
free style feature.
Keo set fast pace yesterday in
leading six qualifiers in the distance
event, covering the mile in %
minutes 112 seconds. This COM
pares with the 22:585 recorded by

Last months suspicion that
Georgetown would be little too
tough for the other teams in the

confirmed. The Hoyas have COM
pleted their first swing around the
loop and beaten the other four
outfits by reasonable margins, fin
Hhing yesterday by topping fair
George Washington nine, 81, at the
Hilltop.
Aaron Silverman, G. W.'s top
hurler, was pitching blood" as he
put it, yesterday against George
town, but the Hoyas got to him for
seven hits. Some faulty fielding
contributed to his defeat Mean
while, Bill McGurk for the Hoyas
was setting down the Colonials with
two hits, both of them by John
KoniZewski.

The only G w. run was scored
In the seventh after McGurk gave
Lenny Sokol one of the two passes
he issued. Lenny scored from first
when Konizewskis hit took trick
bounce over second base for a
double.
The Hilltoppers began their run
making in the third with two mark
ers Billy Hassett started things
with hit and Len Bonforte walked.
Then a wild pitch went past Billy
Robertson, G. w. catcher, and on
retrieving the ball Billy threw wild
to the plate. both runners scamper-
Ing across. The argumentative Rob-
ertson held up the game for several
minutes conversation with Umpire
Morrissey, and the whole business
disrupted the G. w. team. The
Colonials weren't up to their previ-
ous form after that.
Hassett Doubles in Pinch.
Hassett. whose fielding has been
outstanding all season, came to life

Third Victory for Smith.
The White Sox whipped the De-
troit Tigers, Al, with Edgar Smith
pitching six-hit ball and losing
shutout because Jim Bloodworth
belted a home run in the eighth
inning.
No more convincing evidence that
Chicago's hitless wonders are soar
ing could be mentioned than to
point out that even Smith, the un-
lucky southpaw who has lost IT
times, now has been able to gain his
third victory.
The Sox punched four of their
nine hits and an error in the first
| inning for all of their runs.
In the only other American
League game, the Boston Red Sox
scored their second straight shutout
as Bill Butland, ordinarily used for
relief chores, pitched four-hit ball
to beat the Philadelphia Athletics,

He was in frequent trouble because
of his wildness, but after the first

writes to me. have to reply that the lead may be correct for MT. B but probably Is not for MT. A.
 The reason for this answer Is that in certain parts Of the country, the players use convention called "the three-card echo" This involves a different system of leads from short holdings and different Sys- tenn of responses.
 If you are using this system in all It's phaGes, then 1t is correct for you to lead a middle card, but 1t is foolish to single out one point of the system, practice that, and expect to be understood by the vast majority Of players who use the system Of leads I have out lined in these articles. I do not want to argue the merits of .:ile "three-card echo" as against the more universal system, but do say that the player has to follow one system or the other in its en- tirety.

Britain May Find It Difficult
 To Wipe Out Dress SpeakeaSieS
PUBLIC TOLERANCE OF CLOTHING RATION RACKET IS REMINISCENT OF AMERlCA'S PROHIBITION DAYS
BY RosETTE HARGRovE NEA Service staff Corresponden

eNAsaA 6NaNAN2 SNAtAA OWAANHkfWAAsANAAN
 London-Trying to wipe out the black market" for clothes over here may turn out to be as difficult @ task as the United States had try- ing to dry up the nation during pro- hihition.
 Sure, there's an outcry In the press and from the public about racket eering but too many people are pre- pared to put up with the evils to make sure they get what they want.
 The latestEard fastest dodge, in- troduced by "hlack market" racket eers to sldetrack the clothes-c scheme, is inspired by the practies of the erstwhile American bootlegger.
 But clothes ana not synthetic gin are exchanging hands in Londoh's speakeasles.
 You must know the password, and then It's relatively all smooth sailing. If you are in the "know" you will pay from about $l6 "and up" for Q 5o-cent pair of stockings or cotton gloves, giving up the two coupons they represent.
 The "bootlegger will "throw in" a dress which, strangely enough, 1t costs about the $l6 land up" you paid for the b0-cent stockings.
 Warehouses in the heart of slum. land, Whltechapel, and not the luxu- rious West End stores, are where this trading is done by the law-dodgers. ostensibly honest st-to-goodness dress manufacturers, they have "agents" operating all over London and some of the suburbs, approaching private clients as well as store buyers and stylistS.
