ly that should prove of value
to you.
South won the first two tricks
with the king and ace of hearts.
East's pre-emptive bid Of four
spades practically marks him
with a solid spade suit. South
would like to make that jack
of spades. Is there any chance?
Well. il North happens to have
the ten of trump and will ruff
a heart with it, that will do the
trick. But supposing North has
the ten and one heart. How can
South make sure that his part
ner trumps high? The first
thing South should do Is to cash
the ace of diamonds and then
lead the nine of hearts. This
should say to partner, II am not
trying to tell you to lead back q
diamond. I want you to ruff this
trick high. II I simply wanted
you to ruff it, I would not have
cashed my ace Of diamonds"
You can see that II North does
put in the ten spot, South must
make the jack and defeat the
contract.

Frank was the youngest Of the
family and the last Of the chill

doctor gave his mother careful
instructions about his care and

sterilizing his dishes and keep

dismal indeed, but fortunately he
enjoyed reading and music. He
had q record player with . fine
collection Of symphonies, as we'll

were substituted for strenuous
activities: he even had q football
game that he maenuvered on his
bed table.
LIFE BEGINS AT II
From his sunny south win
dows he watched the trees lose
their leaves, saw snow enfold
their branches. Nature took on
q new interest a. day after day
he observed her changing
moods. He watched the melting
of icicles, saw the thrawing riv-
ulets on the February hills. And
then there was q robin on his
window sill.

justifiably has taken the better
boys.
However, they must mix common
sense in their promotional activities
SO that the golden goose of swollen
gate receipts will not be killed. In
these days of inflated wartime
pocketbooks, the public will buy
anything placed on the entertain
ment counter-and promoters must
see that this appetite isn't spoiled
by careless matchmaking.
Urges Fair Treatment.
BY the same token, every safe
guard must protect against unde-
served onus those sidetracked by
service physicians. Fighters found
not fit for armed service should be
permitted to perform in the ring
without being unfairly tabled.
Seldom in sports history has there
been such a paucity of top talent.
Most champions are in the service
their titles frozen, and the others
parading as top-flighters already
are somewhat shopworn through
age and use.
But, so long as they are matched
evenly and kept in their own classes,
the fans will lay their dollars on the
line. But the fans want even action,
not setups or phonies
So it is to the scar-tissued 4-F
veterans and the young fellows just
sprouting their flstic wings, that
boxing must look for its wartime
talent. With the youngsters care
must be exercised against moving
them to main bout status before
they attain a decent degree of phys
ical hardihood. The responsibility
Is that of the commission, manager
and promoter. Together, they can
protect the youngsters from over
matching.
Great Postwar Expansion Looms.
AS the Nation looks hopefully
toward better day, boxing men
envision the most expansive field
in their history. All over the world
men who never donned them before
are putting on the gloves. Fellows
who never jabbed an adversary have
learned to relish the sock on the
nose and the opportunity to deliver
one.
New fans and new talent are being
created by boxing in far-f1ung
camps.
The war will offer new challenges
to boxing and other sports, during
1945. Bonds will have to be solo
and war, community and heroes
funds raised, Boxing will do its
share, as always.
Boxing should take the lead in
the furtherance of a properly organ
lied fund to fill the recreational
needs of returning wounded vet
Grams. Governmental agencies will
do their job of rehabilitation, but
boxing could provide the little extra
curricular touch which might make
the difference, for these boys, be-
tween humdrum existence and one
OF edif1cation and burden lifting.
