bidding with one no-trump. When
South responded with two hearts
North bid four hearts and there the
bidding generally stopped. Where

the bid as signof1. Where South's
first response was three hearts, how
ever, the side was able to 60 places.
Thereafter the bidding differed
slightly but in most cases North
made a second bid of four diamonds.
South then went to four no-trump
and North showed his two aces by
bidding five hearts. South then
called six hearts and there the bid

most. East led the queen of spades

the original bidder had opened vul-
nerable with one no-trump. North
discared his losing club on the fifth
play OF hearts and the rest was
easy.
Miss S. G.. T. reports that she
noted a failure in many games to
enforce the rule of play when
dummy informs declarer which of
the two hands is the correct one
from which to lead. It not infre-
quently makes difference between
losing and winning a contract.
She Is absolutely right and the
rule should be observed. It stipu-
lates that IF dummy voluntarily
informs declarer which of his two
hands has won the lead. or warns
him not to lead out of the wrong
hand, the defender on the dummys
left may choose the hand from
which declarer shall lead"
There ought not, in a well-con-
Quoted game, to be any controversy
over the requirement. for the rule is
definite, although often players do
not strictly adhere to it.

TWILIGHT TEAR
BELMONT VICTOR

NEW YORK, May 17.-R-If
there ever was any doubt whether
Twilight Tear was the queen OF
of the three-year-old fillies it
was erased today when the daugh-
ter of Bull Lea from Warren
Wright's Calumet farm galloped
home an easy winner of the Acron
Stakes at Belmont park.
In chalking up her sixth straight
triumph, the bay filly stepped the
mile in 1877 and finished well in
hand with two lengths to spare
over Louis B Mayors Whirlabout,
winner of her only previous start
this season and top performer
among the two-year-olds in 1943.
Everget from the Brandywine
stable trailed by another six
lengths for third place, the same
spot in which she finished back Of
Twilight Tear in the Pimlico Oaks
last week.
With a record that shows only
one defeat this year and that by
older horses. the Calumet miss
went postward the shortest priced
favorite of the New York season.
When she hit the finish line to
earn the purse of $4,000. she paid
her many hackers the short odds
of $40, $3.50 and $2.10 across the
board.
The victory ran Twilight's win
nings for the year to $34,7SO,
which with her two-year-old
earnings of slightly less boosted
her total to $69,390. She has faced
the barrier 10 times in tw Q
seasons, won 10 of them and has
not finished out of the money.

SPORTS TRAIL

Inc team was caught cold, that's
all, and all the heat was put on
Jimmy Wilson.
We think the Cards really have
chance to better that victory
record, for the simple reason they
seem to outclass the rest of the
league more than they did last
year, when they finished with a
percentage of .682.
We've tried to argue ourselves
into giving some other team a
chance, and have mentioned the
Cincinnati Reds as the chief threat
Which they undoubtedly are, but
it's only mild treat at best
Bucky Walters or Clyde Shoum can
not pitch every day, and when the
Reds get six-hit and one-hit and
no-hit pitching and still drop be-
hind because they can't sneak
across couple of runs, their cause
seems hopeless.
Another reason the Cards seem
to have a better chance at the
mark is that they are off to a
much better start this year than
last. Just year ago they were in
second place, with the Dodgers in
front with .696 percentage.
The Dodgers still were in front
June l, but the Cards were whit
ting away at the lead steadily and
on June 7 were out in front with
$50 average as the Dodgers drop
ped to .622.
Last year isn't this year, of
course, and the only similarity in
the National League standings is
that the Cubs were in last place
year ago. too. But the Cards don't
have to make up all that ground
this year, and even with Stan
Musial missing they figure to have
the other clubs standing only knee
nigh by the Fourth of July.

Poultrymen In County

Use More Eggs Urged

New Hanover County poultrymen
are asked by the government to
produce approximat ely 1922 doz-
en- eggs this year, four per cent
more than in 1913, as their part in
the Food for Victory program, the
National Poultry Defense Commit
tee announced yesterday.
This country goal can best be
reached if housewives take full ad-
vantage of the present egg surplus
and plan more menus calling for
greater use of eggs, thus encour-
aging farmers to maintain high
production, declared Committee
Secretary Leon Todd.
In urging poultrymen to meet the
1914 quota, Todd pointed out the
current egg abundance may be foi.

An aid to producers is the con-
certed effort of distributors to keep
the supply of eggs flowing steadily
into consumer channels as a nu-
tritious wartime food, Todd said,
adding that aggressive merchandise
ing has thus proved an important
factor in increasing egg consump-
ton. "For instance" he asserted

purchases by nearly 40 per cent
and paying North Carolina produc-
ers $153,O57 more than during the
previous year.
Even greater cooperation by dis
tributors and consumers is needed
now, the poultry official said, to
assure farmers profitable market
for their surplus production during
the next few weeks and thus in

in the third off Bill Lee but the
Phils added another in the fourth
on two singles and a walk. Back
came the Reds in the fifth, bat
ting around to tie the score at 4

Miller singled only to be forced
by Chuck Aleno. Dain Clay ran
for Aleno, Ray Mueller singled
him to third. and Walters, pinch
hitting for Tony Criscola, even be-
