T axe MyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby
What Is the Origin?

Charles B. Driscoll, in one OF his
good columns recently, had this
item: Miss Florence Rubner, Erie,
Pa, quotes from Speech Tycoon
Frank Colby the opinion that spittin'
image is a corruption of spittoon
image, meaning the reflection one
used to get from the highly polished
brass spittoon."
I'm glad to be mentioned by Col
umnist Driscoll; but his Erie CORE
spondent told only part of the story
which she got from one OF my DOCKS
for the "spittoon" theory has never
been mentioned in my column.
Here is the complete article from
my book on speech:
"One theory, which has been found
to be erroneous, Is that spittln'
image is Southern Negro corrup-
ton of spirit and image
"A writer, whose name Is now for
gotten, advanced this artful expla-
nation: 'Spittin' image is nothing
but a INSTRUMENTATION of spittoon
image; that is, the reduced but
faithful reflection one sees In the
side of a clean, bright spittoon all
newly polished
dictionaries state that the ex-
preston should be spit and image.
term that was prevalent In Eng
land in the 18th century. 1t was
based on the popular notion more
or less prevalent in various parts OF
the world that persons saliva con-
tains the essence of his being. The
expression is dialectal."
So much for the book. may add,
however, that "spit-image' also oc-
ours frequently, especially in South
ern speech. And it may be the more
accurate version from historical
standpoint, for the original word for
spit in Old English was "spittan."
Spittan image could easily have de-
yeloped into either spit and image
or "spittin' image" This, however,
is my conjecture and not an au-
thenticated theory.

The bidding:
South West North East
l heart Pass diamonds Pass
4 diamonds Pass 4hearts Pass
6 hearts Pass Pass Pass
The technique of the opening lead
cannot be successfully employed I'M
less the defender pays strict atten.
ton to the bidding. What might
normally be the correct lead can
very well turn out to be the worst,
based on information obtained dur
ing-6he auction.
Players should early form the
habit of beginning to count the OPP
ponents' hands, as far as possible
while the bidding Is in progress.
This is a habit which 1t Is not easy
for~many players to form, but when
ACQUIRED will produce extremely
gratifying results. 49,,
As an example: If South bios
hearts first and then spades, stop
and make mental note: He PROB
ably has five hearts and four spades
con the pardonable assumption that
he has some idea as to what's going
ON, If North now supports the
four-card spade suit, make a menta!
note: He very likely has four OF
that suit, ETC., etc.
Today's hand is a striking ex-
ample. Against the slam coptract
of six hearts, the "on-the-surface
lead would be the king of spades.
in the hope of building up a trick
before the ace of trumps was dis
lodged. However, attention to the
bidding will show that a better LEAD
is available. Unless North ana
South are completely out In left
field, one of them has singleton
spade, and trick in that suit Is
probably not a bright prospect.
Since North's first take-out was
two diamonds he should have at
least four of the suit. South's Jump
to four diamonds shows minimum
of four of that suit, which, ADDED
to Vests four, leaves a maximum
of one diamond for East. With a
diamond opening, therefore, East
can. be given a ruff when West OBJ
tains the lead with the ace OF
trumps. So reasoning, West led the
diamond, with the obvious result.
AS the cards were, contract OF
six diamonds could not have been
defeated. But against a spade open
ing, North will have an anxious
moment. The spade is won and the
trumps tested. When East fails to
follow on the second round, declarer
must discontinue trumps and drive
out the ace of hearts, hoping that
he can avoid ruff in that suit.
Note that if East had held the ace
of hearts he could, by refusing the
first lead of the suit, arrange to give
his partner a ruff of the third round
since declarer would be helpless to
draw trumps until the ace OF hearts
was out of the way.

Ted's Hits to Left
MAKE Boudreou
| Shift Useless
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, June THE shift
that Cleveland Manager Lou
Boudreau started against Red
Sox Slugger Ted Williams ap-
parently isn't going to work
much longer.
THE Kid" now leading base
balls big six with a lusty .39l
average, got five hits in eight
times at bat yesterday as the Sox
twice ,drubbed the Detroit Tigers.
5-4 and 1874, and three of them
were to- left field.
A survey showed that nine of
Williams 13' hits were to left
field against overshifted defenses.
As most fans know, Boudreau
packed the right side of the field
against Ted in 1916, the year the
Sox won the pennant. The right
and centerfielders were both in
right field with the left fielder
moving to left center. The third
baseman played midway between
second and third and the other
three infielders were back on the
grass between first and second.

Thockoro, Star Tourney Victor,
Faces Tough Row in Tennis
By Rod Thomos

Big Jim Thackara today ruled

ing a triumph in the singles of
The Stars City of Washington
championships, but to hold his perch
throughout the season he may lose
a lot of feathers.
As methodically as he might go

economist, the 34-year-old. almost
stolid Thackara moved down the
No. / seeded player of the tourna-
ment. Capt. Robin Hippenstiel, an
Army flyer, in the final, Ga, 6-1,
6-3. Prior to that, during a long
day of exciting tennis that wound
up the goth anual event on the
Rock Creek courts, Thackara pol
ished off the redoubtable DR.. Dave
johnson, 60, 6-4.
Both DR.. johnson and Capt.
Hippenstiel won a need of revenge
by conquering Thackara and tough
Don Leavens in the doubles final,
.3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 81.
Hippenstiel Busy Man.
For Capt. Hippenstiel the tandem
battle rounded out a terrific day in
which he played no fewer than "a

was forced to open wide the throt-
tie to outstrip Southpaw Leavens,
rs, IS. Next came the tussle
with Thackara, then the five-set
doubles.
1t was Capt, Hippenstiel's first
appearance in the City of Wash
ington tournament and he brought
much to it, both in the matter OF
heightened competition and per-
sonality.
+ Usually found driving into the net
in his singles matches, Capt. Hip
pensUiel was forced to stay in the
back court through most Of his con-
test with Thackara. When he did
venture into his favorite position
Thackara passed him or forced him
to miss volleys frequently. In the
backcourt he was no match for his
extremely steady opponent.
Games stood at Sail in the first
set, then Thackara broke Hippen-
stiel's service to take 4-3 lead and
was never behind from then on.
1t was Thackara's third major
championship in five tournaments
here in the last year. He won the
District title at Kenwood last July

feated Barney Welsh in the final.

Mats Double Defeat
Marked by Hudson S
Failure on Mound
By Burton Hawkins

Sid Hudson's attempted comeback
after a shoulder injury forced him
to alter his delivery, is proving
rougher than he anticipated. The
Mats towering blond right-hander
has been shelled from the mound In
seven successive starts and only
once this season has he travelled
nine innings.
Belted freely yesterday as the
Mats absorbed 1914 and 11-4 defeats
by the dungeon dwelling Chicago
White Sox before a critical crowd
of 15,772, Hudson was dealt his fifth
loss. He has earned only two de-
cisions and it comes as a Jolt to the
mild-mannered fellow who SEEM
ingly had made the transition from
overland hurting to sidearm Pitch
ing smoothly and effectively.
There was reason to suppose, after
Sid walloped the New York YAM
KEGS, 81. on five hits in his first
start, that he was headed for his
most successful season since 1880,
when he won II games as a rookie.
That notion now is subject to le-
vision, for in II starts Sid has peen
around at the finish only twice end
one of those occasions was 3-3 FIVE
inning tie checked by rain.
Hudson Blasted In Fifth.
Sid confesses he believed his
pitching career was ended last fall
when doctors informed him he
would have to change his style cue
to bone spur on his right shoulder.
Hudson can't throw overland with
out aggravating his shoulder and
so he's a sidearmer--a disappointed
one.
He made the change during the
winter, throwing to neighborhood
youngsters. He tested his rev de-
livery In spring exhibition games
and was enthused by heartening re-
suits. His cup Of Joy nearly was
filled to the lip when he stymied the
Yankees IN the second game of the
season, but subsequent events have
drained off much of that happiness.
Sid was hammered for SIX runs
before he was blasted from the
mound during a 4-run outburst in
the fifth inning of the opener yes
terday. He had yielded two runs
previously, with errors by Ed Stew
art and Al Kozar figuring In each
of them, and owned 2-l deficit
entering the fifth.

gin to 6-1 with doubles by Tony
