Experts Don't Hope; Figure Pereentose
AY WILLIAM E. Nick ENNEY
 Americass Card Authority

I hope you won't think I have cheated you today in giving you one suit. I am showing this par- ticular holding, because 1t involved definite principle of play. To often the average person makes Q play and hopes it will work, but the expert figures the play from the best percentage angle.
 Let's say that South, with the holding shown below, is playing the contract at spades, and, unfor- tunately, his partner has no spades. How should he play the suit?
 If the spades are divided three three in the opponents hands, there is no way South can play them to avoid losing two tricks; but with certain distributions he may hold his loss to one trick.
 The correct play is the ace of spades, followed by the queen. Of course this wins if the king hap pens to be e singleton, and 1t wins If the jack of spades is Q double ton in one hand, In other words,

NEGLIGIBLE, EH2

Tn o7e cases of inguinal hernia that came to operation in the New York Hospital, recurrence of the hernia followed in 7S. Tn his text book on Hernia, recommended Go physicians and students by the Jour. AMA, Leigh P. Watson, MD. says the number of occurrences fol- lowing operation for hernia varies from to 10 per cent depending on the age of the patient, and the choice of operation. The recurrence rate in 6,027 operations for hernia performed by S4 surgeons was--so far as the surgeons knew or re- ported, 5,S per cent. That would be more than 800 patients who sub mitted to the risks, absence from work, disqualification, discomfort, expense of the operation, only to find not long afterward that they still mad hernia. We had better not say anything here about 25 patients whose mortal worries were over when they went under anesthesia for the hernia operation - they never said anything about 1t either.
 That is enough to show that operation for hernia (a) has 0 con- siderable percentage of failures, no matter how skilful the surgeon may be; and (b) operation for hernia has Its own mortality rate.
 Now what's this fine sounding blah l read in the papers about the injection treatment of hernia. In the first place I cross my fingers. for 1t purports to be the effusion ! of one Morris Fishbein, MD. Mor- ris is the fellow who is constantly telling us-period - what science" says and as constantly telling the dumb public that what we say we being the rest of the medical professionals communistic, radi- cal, unscientifc or how do you like 1t.
 Well, in this newspaper harangue the great Pooh.Bah of the A.M.A, estimates, In his generous rapld-fire way, that study of Q consider able number of cases reveals that ] about one fifth of those treated with the injection method fail to be cured, whereas the percentage of failures following surgery is so small as to be negligible"
 Now you will notice that I give the source of my figures, whereas Morris Fishbein, MD, in his unsual way, assumes that the source of his figures or gusses is none of your business. I challenge the loud and fast talking pr. Fishbein to name the source of his figures.
 Three hundred failures and 26 deaths may be negligible" In pr, Fishbeins scientific view, but even if the injection method fails in one fifth of the cases SO treated, I'd want to have e 90 at 1t myself be- fore I'd be willing to submit to the radical operation, If I had hernia.
 In the first place 1t is far safer than surgery. In the next place 1t does not require weeks of hospitali- zation. Tn the next place 1t does not interfere with your ordinary work or play. Tn the next place 1t does not cost so much as the opera. ton and disqualification. And if it does fail you are not out much.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-LPJ-AthleIlc
directors of the Western Confer
ence met for almost ten hours to-
day, mulled over changes in the
circuits athletic code, but failed
to elect a commissioner to succeed
the late John L. Griffith.
eve were busy with discussions
of changes in the code, including
changes in the powers OF the COM
missioner" said Kenneth L. (Tug)
Wilson, athletic director at North
western University and spokes-
man for the group. There was no
discussion of a successor to Major
Griffith
The directors will continue their
meeting tomorrow, but Wilson said
it was doubtful there would be any
announcement as to either code
changes or a new commissioner.
One resolution was passed Garner
today as direct result of recent
scandal involving gambling on
college basketball games in Brook
Ign.
The resolution declared no con-
ference team may play any other
team except on a college campus
without first getting permission of
of the conference directors. This
rule would prohibit conference
teams from playing in such sta
diuns as Madison Square Garden
in New York, the Boston garden or
the Chicago stadium without spe-
cial permission.
The directors said gambling on
basketball games appeared to be
more widespread in privately-op-
Grated stadiurns than in the gym
nasiums operated by the schools
themselves.
The resolution added that sever
a. years ago the directors took u11-
der consideration a regulation pro-
hibiting conference teams from
playing basketball games under
private promotion, and today re-
affirmed the rule, urging that it
be enforced.
