Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Rambling Among Words.

Readers have asked, (which Ian
guage has the largest number Of
words?" On the basis of dictionary
counts, the American language leads
with about 100000 words. British
English has 415,O00. Others follow
in this order: German, 10000;
French, $4,000; Spanish, 1000; Ital-
ian, 10000; Latin, $4,000, and ancient
Greek, $1,000.
OF course, these figures include
many words that are obsolete. and
they Go not include many words that
are in the living languages, but not
yet recorded by the dictionaries.

We know it's not then written right;

Nor yet should it be written "rite."
But "write"-for so It's written right,
English spelling is like that.

l spade diamonds 2 spades Pass
3 hearts Pass 3spades Pass
no-trump Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: King of diamonds.
We are back on the subject of
sading at this time for little respite
on behalf of what we believe to be
the NOSE overworked gadget in the
game. Even where no clues are
available one way or the other
illnesses should be avoided If there
is a safer method of approach. But
where the evidence points to the
likelihood of failure, a declarer is
remiss indeed who does not work
out some other plan. In today's
hand, Vests very questionable over
call of two diamonds would seem
to mark him as guilty of possession
Of the king Of hearts, and any line
Of play that does not take this into
consideration must be unsound.
The bidding has no points of out
standing interest. 1t will be noted,
however, that South avoided the
common error of opening with one
no-trump. The hand is decidedly
too strong for such a bid. 1t has
close to five honor tricks "a point
count of 90, which brings it within
queen of an opening two no-trump
bid. All such hands must be opened
with one of a suit. From then on
South pussyfooted until he decided
on the final contract, which inciden-
tally was doubtful choice.
The king of diamonds was opened
and declarer saw no point in hold
ing up, since the fall of the jack
would give away the show. Eight
tricks were in sight and it appeared
to declarer that there was nothing
more than the forlorn hope that
the heart fineSSe would work. He
impatiently went to it and a one
trick set was promptly recorded.
To play upon the theory that West
did not hold the king of hearts
was inviting failure. In any event
there should have been no hurry
about taking the flnesse. 1t could
no do harm to run the four spade
tricks.
Let us assume that West dis
cards heart. The ace of clubs is
cashed and then the king. Declarer
is now in position to take the
heart fineSse If he chooses. But
little study in arithmetic is in order.
West has shown up with three
spades and two clubs and presum-
ably has left at this point the king
and another heart, which means
he had only five diamonds originally.
A diamond is led and West wins. If
he cashes the remaining diamonds,
he will be obliged at the end to
lead away from the king Of hearts
into declarer's ace-queen.
Perfect defense by West. how
ever, will defeat the contract. He
must refuse to cash the rest OF
his diamonds. 1t is evident that
declarer's jack of diamonds was his
last. If he had held it guarded he
could have taken an early heart
finesse into the South hand with
perfect safety. East is therefore
marked with the eight of diamonds
and he should be put in with that
card, in order that the heart lead
might come from him. If West
rises to the occasion and defends
in this manner, declarer can do
nothing about it, but West should
be made to work for his marbles.

Tine For A Change

lHlS IS an election year, and local. political figures,
would-be and has-been, alike, are sharpening up their wits,
and getting ready their equipment. There is no indication
that anything new will. arrive on the scene. Those who run
Tor office have either run before, and been defeated. and
thus making another try, or have been successful at the polls,
and SO are launching forth confident of victory. Whatever the
case may be, the crop of candidates will be very much the
same, and the crop woefuly limited.
IT'S a tragic commentary on the local political situation
that candidates are limited to those who for one reason or an
other cannot be drafted by the government, and used in some
capacity. With due respect to those who find themselves as
candidates, either by design or accident, the field is narrowed
either to the very few whose income can afford the donation
OF their time and energy, or a larger group who must make
their daily living, and take time out to attend to i the govern
ments business. This is scientific fact, and while people, par
ticularly our local intelligencia, rant and rave at the truth
when it does, not sound rosy and colorful, must see and admit
this fact. Unfortunately, we are too poor to pay our legisIa-
tors, and this rules out the professional politician who can
give all his time and energy to his work in the legislature.
R this very limited field the electorate must choose
their representatives, which makes the task all the more diff
ficult, and some even have the tendency to throw up their
hands and remain away from the polls. This is a mistaken at
titude, since in remaining away, people are giving up their
precious democratic right to rule themselves via the Ballot.
ALL of this is being said, not necessarily to give the poll
tcianS something to campaign about, but to help Gtoaken a
consciousness on the part of the electorate that their respon-
sibility is a great one, and that they should think through
seriously everything pertaining to their welfare. Though the
field Is limited, those who would seek office must decide to
approach the public with different < better material & cast as

The Redskins came home today
from unhappy hunting grounds with
a two-game losing streak and new
outlook on life. Beginning Sunday
against the Chicago Bears at Bal
timore, Washington.s entry in the
National Football League expects
to be tough" and as absent
minded with elbows and knockles as
the opposition.
A couple of good nights OF sleep
NAV change their minds, but the
players were burning after Satur-
days 43-0 shellacking by Green
Bay in the exhibition at Birming-
ham and in no mood to worry
about rules. Neither the Packers
nor the Chicago Cardinals, who
were met In Denver last MorAiay
night, played dirty football, but a
stray blow fell Unexpectedly here
and there without penalty and the
Skins think it might be better
way to play the game.
Harry Gilmer, star back up from
Alabama, will not appear against
the Bears. Having shown him OF
before home town fans at Birming-
ham and called the hand of the
Chicago Tribune that threatened to
sue If Gilmer was used in an exhi-
ton game after refusing to play in
the college all-show game at Chi
cago, the Tribes board of strategy
now intends to rest its new quarter
back until his leg injuries is 100 per
cent healed. If al goes well, he'll
make his debut In the league

curtain-raiser here against Pitts
burgh's Steeler on September 26.
Gilmer, off his work in training
camp before he was hurt, will make
tremendous difference in the Red
skins play. but even Gilmer couldn't
have prevented the whitewashing
the Skins took from the Packers
in Birmingham. The line play
from tackle to tackle was Wash
ington's only saving grace. The
ends were malodorous, with the
exception of Jim PEBBLES, and the
pass defense was even weaker than
expected.
Coach Turk Edwards Is sure the
Skins will be hard to throw against
when he's able to use Gilmer, Tom
Mont and Howie Livingston on de-
fense. Rookie Dan Sandifer is
coming along nicely, but his green
ness popped out like measles against
the Packers and it will be some
time before he can be rated on par
with the above trio.
Edwards still is tinkering with
defensive plans, looking for more
line hackers and depth in the line
itself. Art Mascioszczyk' work
against the Packers indicated he'll
be around all season and Ed Quirk
lis a fixture, but the coach would
like TO use Quirk exclusively on
defense and needs another fullback
to do it.

Idle today, they will attempt to
avert an all-time Washington losing
streak tomorrow when they battle
the Detroit Tigers in a double
header at Detroit. Scarborough
and Rookie Dick Weik have been
nominated to take the mound.
Masterson Absorbs Defeat.
The Mats spurted into 80 lead
against the Yankees yesterday in
the first inning at Bob Porterfleld's S
expense, but it was a briefly en-
joyed advantage. In the second in
ming New York clustered four runs
of Masterson and presented him a
18th defeat.
New York produced a run when
Joe Di Maggie walked, Bobby Brown
singled and Phil Rizzuto flied to
Coan. Gus Niarhos also walked and,
with two on base, Charley Keller
batted for Porterfield and rammed
mighty home run into the left
center field bleachers.
The Mats attack collapsed, with
Tommy Byrne holding them hitless
for five innings. Washington fash
ioned two runs off him in the sew
enth when Gillenwater reached first
on Browns error, Wynn singled and
Yost tripled, but meanwhile the
Yankees were taking liberties with
Wynn.
New York nicked Wynn for two
runs in the sixth, two in the sew
enth and two more in the eighth,
and narrowed Boston's league lead
to two games as the Red Sox alb
sorbed a 1914 beating from Phila-
delphia.
The Yankees mauled Washing
toms pitching for 16 hits while the
Mats were limited tn ak.

Castiglia is anywhere near his 1947
form, he could help the Tribe on
offense.
Tom Farmers scintillating ball
carrying in the last two games
means he'll be kept at left half and
not shifted to fullback as planned
10 days ago. The wholesale injury
of left halfbacks may have been a
break for both Farmer and the
coach, for the Iowan likes TO- pack
the pigskin and Edwards can use a
hard runner who hits with Farmers
energy.
