axe My Word for 1t
By FRANK COLBY.
What's In 4 Name:

This column owes q thousand
apologies to the City Of Los An
geles.
| Not long ago. in commenting on
| the various pronunciation Of the
name Los Angeles, as heard in the
city itself, and as found in Ameri-
can dictionaries, gazetteers and other
such authorities, I stated that the
complete name of the city is Ell
Pueblo de Nuestra Sonora la Reina
de los Angeles.
We've been robbed" scores Of
Los Angeles residents and former
residents protested by letter. post
card and telegram. You've Short
changed us out of de la Porciun-
cula,' which should go at the end OF
the name!"
And they are right. so says Cali
fornias State librarian. Mabel r.
Gillis, to whom I referred the mat
ter. 1t happened thus:
On August 2. 1859. an expedition,
headed by Gaspar de Portola, en-
tered the Indian village of Yangna.
situated on a small stream known
as La Porciuncula ('the small por-
tion"), now called the Los Angeles
River. Since August is the feast
day of Nuestra Sonora de Los An
geles (the Virgin Mary the
expeditions priest, Father Juan
Crespi, named the little village Ell
Pueblo de Nuestra Sonora lie Reina
de los Angeles de la Porciuncula.
So, nearby restore to the City of
Los Angeles its true. complete and
ancient name, which in English
means the Village of Our Lady the
Queen of the Angels of the Small
Portion!

l
In turning back the leaves Of my
bridge album, have observed that
the plays which have most freQeuntly
captured my fancy are not the in
volved squeeZes and intricate end
plays, but rather those that were
conceived in the essence OF SIM
plicity. There are some plays so
simple in their nature and yet so
sound that one marvels at their hav-
ing gone relatively unnoticed over
extended periods of time.
Reference is being made to the
proper technique in handling the
card combination contained In the
heart suit of today's hand. B. j.
Becker of New York brought in a
vulnerable game for our team in the
Masters event at the summer Ma
tional championships on a hand
which cost the opposition 100 points
at the other table. 1t all hinged on
the management of the trump suit.
| Mrs. Sobel held the North hand
and passed. This is one OF the few
hands containing little over three
honor tricks in which it is unwise to
open the bidding. 1t will be seen
that the hand contains no conyen-
lent opening as well as no con-
venient rebid. The third hand OPEN
ing of one heart is universally ac-
cepted practice among experienced
players. North at both tables took
no chances that partner might pass
if a double raise were given, and
promptly contracted for game.
The opening lead was the queen of
spades and when our opponent made
the instructive play Of leading low
heart and playing the king, the con-
tract was doomed to failure when
West showed out Of trumps. De-
clarer was obliged to give up one
trick in each suit.
When Mr.. Becker played the hand,
he led the jack of hearts from OF
dummy, East holding perfect four
chette or dummy's jack, covered
with the queen and when West
failed to follow, it was simple mat
ter to- enter dummy and finesse
against the 10. 1t will be noted that
the play of the jack has everything
to gain and cannot lose. If hearts
are divided 2-1, the play is inmate
rial. II West has all three, trump
trick must be lost regardless of the
play. But if East has all three, he
may be induced to cover, which
guarantees losing no trump tricks.
Naturally, if East should follow with
a low heart, declarer has no inten-
ton of letting it ride.
BY a similar line of reasoning,
though not quite as apparent, it is
unsound practice for East to cover
the jack. 1t is not to be expected
! that West has any card that could
be promoted by such cover. If West.
instead of declarer, held the nine of
hearts. declarer would surely not
have played the jack, but would
! rather play to pick up doubleton
, queen.
Even among the elite one may
!. profit by the occasional manifesto
! tion of human frailty.
