Goren on Bridge

Opening lead: 10 of clubs.
When a great many points are at
stake the best possible chance
should be taken to fulfill the con-
tract even tho it involves gong
down an additional trick should the
plan fail.
In today's hand. South became
declarer at a contract of six spades
on bidding that meets with our
unqualified approval. North's re-
snonse of two hearts was routine and
after South made a jump rebid,
North realized there was a good
chance for slam because he himself
held the equal of an opening BID
He, therefore. took pains to show
the ace of diamonds, whereupon
South returned the compliment in
hearts. North was now content TO
show his spade support and South
did the rest. He knew that the ace
of clubs was adversely held, because
North had failed to show 1t, but
with the lead coming up 10 nm
there was no immediate danger and
he hoped to be able to develop
partners heart suit for discards.
The 10 of clubs was led, taken bv
the ace and the four returned. De-
clarer won and trumps were eX-
tracted. He was now apparently
presented with choice OF plays
If West held the kind OF diamonds
he could finese the queen and dis
card a heart on the ace. The al
tentative was to try to guess VINO
had the queen of hearts. south
decided on the latter course. He led
a. number of trumps with the nope
that the discards would be enllght-
ening, but the opposition would not
furnish any clews. At length, he
PLAYED the ace of hearts and
finessed the 10 in dummy losing to
East's queen.
Declarer ted not chosen the best
line of play. He placed all his
hopes in the heart finesse. He
should have given himself two
chances instead of one. After
CrumpS are OuI llS ollooAo PAiJ 'AA
two high hearts. There was
chance that the queen will fall
doubleton. If it does, his worries
are over. If 1t fails to apepar, he
still has remaining the hope that
the diamond finesse will succeed.
1t is true that declarer incurs the
risk of going down two tricks in
stead of one if East has the kind o.
diamonds and the remaining heart,
but surely it is worth it. Bear in
mind that if the only consideration
were the location of the queen OF
hearts the finesse would be better
play than the attempt to drop 1t,
but where eight cards of suit are
held and the queen is missing the
play for the finesse is only slightly
superior to the play for the drop so
that if an additional play suggests
itself it is usually profitable to abon-
don the finesse. Remember when
the inesse fails declarer is victim
of sudden death. If the play for
the drop fails declarer still holds
the lead and retains the hope that
his alternate play may win.

Along The Cape Fear

FEEDER LINES - 1T is hard
now to realize the great public in
terest in Wilmington at the end of
the 1905 in the establishment of
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
railroad from Wilmington to Mount
Airy" the Rev. Andrew j. Howell
was kind enough to tell us.
Typical of that intense interest
in feeder lines for the great At
.lantic Coast Line is the following
item, clipped from the daily press
of the Port City and dated July
1889.
"Short connecting links in North
and South Carolina, an intermedi-
ate coast route for the Atlantic
Coast Line traffic and development.
the Wilmington and Onslow Rail
road, and the certain expension OF
that route to New Bern and its
connection with the rich and popu-
lous Pamlico and Albemarle re-
gions, are results, in sight, growing
out of the development of deep wa
ter at the lower Cape Fear gate
way. and the restoration and re
establishment of the prestige OF
Wilmington as one of the chief sea
ports of the South Atlantic sea
board.

ACCORD EXPECTED
ON BILL TODAY
Kermon Says New Civil
Service Measure Can
Still Be Introduced

Confidence that an agreement
on proposed changes in the local
civil service law can be reached
at a meeting between representa-
tives of the city and the police
and fire departments this morn
ing at 10 o'clock was expressed
last night by City Manager J. R.
Benson.
He said that there has been
one point which had not been
agreed upon at a previous session
and predicted that accord on all
matters relative TO the measure
would result today.
A session between Benson and
fire and police representatives was
held last night but no report on
the results of the conference was
made.
Benson pointed out that quick
work on the new bill is impera-
tive in view of the Forthcoming
legislature deadline for local bills
to be offered in the general as
sembly.
Representative Robert H. Ker-
mon said yesterday that there was
still time for the measure to be
introduced but explained that he
expected a resolution calling for
the deadline to be presented either
tonight or tomorrow. Any bills.
he said, may be offered until the
deadline is effective.
Benson revealed that the matter
of city elections will be taken un-
der consideration today, with the
city council expected 10 set the
date for both the primary and the
general election.
Still another subject slated to
come before the council is the one
involving the proposed merger
of the offices of the Wilmington
Port-Trafic Association and the
City Industrial agent, according
to Benson. Proposals for bringinc
both offices under one head ae
scheduled for consideration, h

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR PORTS BILL
Representative Kern 0 n
Sees Measure Winning
Support In Raleigh

Favorable action on the measure
to provide state support for the
State Ports Authority was forecast
last night by Representative Rob
ert M. Kermon.
He said that $50, 900 will prob
ably be earmarked for the SPA
by the legislature shortly but ex-
pressed the belief that the ST.
0O0, 900 grant called for the bills
introduced by himself and Sem
ator Alton A. Lennon would not
be met during this years legisla-
tive session.
Kermon said that a good deal of
hard work a being expended
toward forcing early action on the
funds request and predicted that
the assembly would respond fav-
orably.
Kermon, meanwhile, said that
he will present his measure call
ing for the transfer of the City
County Bureau of Identification to
the city to the county commits
sioners and the city council to-
day.
He made it clear that the bill
contained in the most part sugges-
