The bidding:

1 club Pass diamond Pass
/ no-trump Pass 3no-trump Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead: Queen Of spades.
That the place for the ace is on
the king is an accepted truth. If
you can't get the king, try for the
queen and even the jack Is a better
card to capture than a deuce. To
put it in another way, you must
not give the opposition q chance to
win tricks with their face cards
and then to force your commanding
cards out with little ones. In to-
days hand East carried the doctrine
of second hand low" too far and
by so doing presented the enemy
with an unmakeable game.
The bidding followed natural
lines. North's jump to three no.
trump is slightly on the aggressive
side though not very reprehensible.
Theoretically North should raise to
only two no-trump, since he lacks
the high-card values to insist upon
game if South happens to have
minimum. That is to say, he has
only II points, which will not bring
the partnership assets to the re-
quired 26 if partner has light
opening.
He attempted to justify his ag-
gresSiveness on the basis of the pro-
noted value of the jack of clubs,
| the suit which partner had bid. This
is cutting things rather thin, but
there is much to be said for the
principle. In many cases the hold
ing of a minor honor in partners
suit will prove the difference be-
tween success and failure. 1t actu-
ally did in this case, though, to be
sure, it should not have done so.
The queen of spades was opened
and taken in dummy. This is def
nitely not the type Of hand on
which to hold up. First of all there
is no need to, with two shoppers,
since presumably only one high
card need to be driven out, and,
more important than all. there IS
too much danger of Shift to hearts,
which would prove fatal.
The jack of clubs was led and
East played low as second hand.
On the next trick he was obliged
to play the ace on North's and
declarer was able to cash four club
tricks, just what he needed to full
fill contract. Each should have put
the ace on the jack. Had he held
another small club he might af-
ford the duck, intending to duck
the second time as we'll. But since
the ace must fall on the second
round East should make sure OF
catching big fish.
The argument that he was Civ
ing his partner chance to win
with the queen if he had it holds
no water, because if West holds
the queen it will still be protected
and cannot be lost, since it is quite
clear from the bidding that declarer
does not have a seven-card club
suit. Furthermore, East should on
general principles rush in to win
the trick in order to establish part
ner's spades before his entries are
taken from him.

Some of the officers, not unlike
successful men in other countries,
have solved the problem by the
simple expedient of divorcing their
wives and marrying ballerinas or
educated secretaries. But the
Bolshevik leaders frown on this
practice, and officers cannot ap-
ply for divorce without permission
from their senior commander. So
the problem remains.

along the Atlantic Coast, including
the authorized Gross Florida Barge
Canal which, when completed, will
be the last major link in the through
waterway between Trenton, N. j.,

Part II, which is designated as the
Gulf Section, is concerned with the

Texas Makes Strides
In Boating Activity

Texas has made great strides in
recreational boating activity during
the last eight years, according to
Ira Hand, secretary of the National
Association of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers.
After devoting the month of
March to an inspection of Texas
marinas and boat yards, Hand
pointed out the potentialities of the
Gulf Coast from Houston to Browns
vile for development into recrea-
tional boating area comparable to
Long Island Sound or the Great
Lakes.
Hand, who last visited Texas in
1910, was impressed by the rapid
increase in boating at Corpus
Christi, where only a few years ago
a sailboat on the bay was an unusual
sight. Now the recreational fleet
numbers we'll over 1900 craft and
weekly regattas and a distance
ocean race are annual fixtures.
The Houston area, too, is develop
ing fast as boating center, and two
power boat racing associations al
ready are active, with regattas for
both inboard and outboard racing
craft planned for this season, Mr..
Hand reported.

|OIympic Games Renew Interest
In International Sail Rucinq

Stimulus for renewed interest in
international yachting competition
already is making itself felt on this
side of the Atlantic as result of
the sailing races to be held off Tor
quay, England, during the first two
weeks of August as part of the 1948
Olympic Games.
British yachtsmen maintain that
the waters of Tor Bay, opening on
the English Channel in Devonshire,
will give scant advantage to COM
petitors with local knowledge-fre-
quently an all-important factor in
sailing races. They point out that
there is no tide, winds are mainly
from the southwest and there is
plenty of open water.

Capital Sailing Marina
Expected TO Be Open
To Boats May |

Construction Of slips for 100 sail
boats will get under way Monday
at the new Washington Sailing Ma
rina, south of National Airport, and
II all goes well. the new facility may
be ready for business around May l.
1t should come as good news to
Washington area sailors planning to
base there that National Capital
Parks officials have abandoned their
original plan for the setting out of
moorings in the basin.
Instead, sailors will have only to
walk down the beach and step
aboard floats, where their boats will
be tied up. This arrangement also
eliminates the problem of tender
service-frequently a headache for
club managers.
Harry Thompson, assistant super
intendent of Capital Parks, said
yesterday that Government Services,
Inc, which will supervise the Gov
ernment-built project, has been Or
dered to speed up operations and to
be ready for May / opening.
Likely Base for PRSA.
He said it was anticipated that
sailors will be accommodated in
those sections that are ready for use
in the event the slips are not fully
built by the first of the month.
The opening wiz come just day
before Potomac River Sailing Asso-
citation launches its annual spring
series of races off Hams Point.
PRSA is expected to make the ma
rina its headquarters. Until this
year, the association has been with
out home Of its own and has de-
pended on clubs in and around
Washington for meetings and social
gatherings.
A pile driver moves into position
Monday morning, to begin the big
job of driving 160 piles that will
serve as mooringS for both floats
and sailing craft Plans call for
five floats at right angles to the
shoreline, with enough space be-
tween to handle boats up to Is feet
over all.
The parks official explained that
II any one insists on keeping his
boat at mooring, this will be per-
mitted. However, the owner must
supply his own mooring and anchor,
subject to Harbor Police specif1ca-
tions.
Rates are established.
The pile driving operation will
take about 10 days. Eventually. the
Government hopes to establish
dinghy floats and a repair and
launching area at the south end of
the dredged-out basin.
Nils Brekke, who will manage the
marina, lists these rates:
Slips by the month-$4 for boats
under is feet and 81 additional for
each feet or less. Slips by the
year-$36 for boats under Is feet
and Sc added for each feet or less.
Land storage-$2 a month under
IS feet and 81 addition for each
s feet. Lockers will be rented for
so cents month or Is cents day,
and will include towel and soap.
There are no dues or initiation
fees and all facilities of the marina
are available to those renting space.
Applicants may get on the list by
phoning Brekke at Hobart 7761 or

San Francisco Facilities
Hit Salmon Fishinq

Although some of the finest sal
mon fishing on the Pacific Coast can
be enjoyed off San Francisco, that
harbor has the poorest facilities for
sports fishermen of any waterfront
community in the Nation, it was
pointed out at a recent meeting of
the California Marine Parks and
Harbor Association.
With Fishermans Wharf the sole
mooring place for party fishing boats
in the San Francisco area at the
present time, the need for accommo-
dations at Gas House Cove and
Aquatic Park was emphasized. If
the party fishing business could be
expanded, it was predicted that
100000 fishing licenses would be
issued in Northern California this
wear.

The bill in Congress to increase

Although five classes are up for
decision, it is likely that Americans
will compete in only three-stars,
6-meters and fireflies. The last,
a sailing dinghy of Uffa Fox design,
only recently was introduced in
England and is wholly unknown
in the United States, where the
qualifying trials will be held in the
well-known international las.
With the Olympics still some
months off, United States trials for
the 6-meter class will be held at
Oyster Bay, Long Island, in June.
Among the boats seeking the honor
of being selected will be the first g.
meter built in this country in 10
years. The craft was designed by
Sparkman & Stephens, and is soon
to be laid down at City Island, N. Y.
