Goren on Bridqt

When it is indispensable to your
cause to find partner with a certain
card, you might as well presume
that he has it, even though you
have no evidence that points In
that direction. When, however, your
partner has indicated in mild
manner that he probably has the
required holding, it is reprehensible
of YOU not to take advantage OF it.
In today's hand South embarked
on a rather venturesome slam con-
tract at no-trump. 1t will be OBJ
served that Norths bid Of four no.
trump is not intended as a Black
wood call. In modern methods a
raise of partners no-trump bid Is
not construed as a call for aces, but
lust a good old-fashioned raise.
However, North's slam invitation is
of doubtful strategy. South's jump
rebid of two no-trump indicates a
hand that contains 1920 points.
North has only 10, SO that the part
nerships combined assets are, at
maximum, 80 points, normally not
sufficient to produce slam, even
with a f1ve-card suit.
South's acceptance of the invita-
ton impresses me as a mere pre-
tence of virility. Having opened
the bidding and jumped to two no
trump, he has fully expressed his
values and should take no further
aggressive step.
West led the king of hearts and
East followed with the four, regret
ting that he lacked a more express
sive card with which to signal. This
should be an object lesson to those
who in poll-parrot fashion maintain
that a six or higher is come-of1
signal, while other cards are dis
couraging. Is poor East to be vic
timized because no higher card than
a four was dealt to him?
South won with the ace, tested
out the diamonds and found all well
in that direction. He ran of the
four clubs, discarding spade from
dummy and then started running
the diamonds. -Four tricks from the
end this was the position:

now a simple matter for declares
to play heart and force West int

West, of course, should have no

he would have been persuaded tina
East held the jack. This would hav'
made it easy for him to discard th'

East would then win the heart tricl

By the Associated Press

The Los Angeles Rams head
East this week to throw them
selves at the sturdy Philadelphia
Eagles Sunday in one of the sea-
sons top pro football attractions.
The only undefeated team in
the National Football League, the
Rams will be butting against the
1948 champions in their first
Eastern invasion of the season.
Facing their sternest test, the
leaders Of the Western Division
have swept six games.
Philadelphia, which routed
Pittsburgh. 1877. yesterday, has
wen five games and lost one. Tho
Eagles are leading the National
Leagues Eastern Division. The
Eagles conquest of the Ste, ars
was the only lopsided affair in
seven pro games yesterday as Los
Angeles continued it's winning
behavior by whipping the Chi
cago Bears. 27-24, before a Los
Angeles throng of 5000, largest
crowd ever to witness a National
League game.
In the All-America Conference
this week the New York Yankees
and Cleveland Browns, still tied
for first place. and the San Fran
cisco 49ers, closest to that pair,
appear to have welcome breathers
coming up Sunday: The Yankees
play host to Buffalo, the Browns
take on the Chicago Hornets and
the 49ers visit Baltimore.
Rams Rally for Victory.
The Rams widened their lead
over the second-place Bears, who
have 3 and 3 record. However.
1t was a close call for the home
squad. It had to rally in the
final five minutes when trailing,
24-20, after being in front for
the better part of the action.
Tow Kalmanir took a Chicago
kickoff back 81 yards. Fullback
Gerry Cowhig smashed across for
the deciding marker a few mo-
ment later.
In the AAC, the Yankees and
Browns were hard pressed to
maintain their deadlock.
The New Workers, after steal
ing a three-touchdown advan.
tage over the luckless Baltimore
Colts, had to stave of a late
rally to win. 21-14. The victors
relied chiefly on ground gaining,
which included a 51-yard touch
down run by Rookie Sherman
Howard. Then. in the third
period, the famed passing arm Of
Baltimore's Y. A. Title connected
for 10 tosses in a row. The visi-
tors scored two IDS within four
minutes.
Cleveland kept pace with the
Yankees by earning sweet revenge
over San Francisco, 1923 before
a crowd of 72,189. The tied-up
leaders now have six triumphs and
one loss each. The Browns also
have one tie.

Bum Is Slim Favorite
Over MILAN in Fight
AT Turner'S S Tonight

Two young welterweight punch
ers are headliners in tonight's
main event fight at Turner's
Arena. Sonny Boy Bum Of Wash
ington and Charley MILAN of
Baltimore.
Bum is a slight favorite off his
most recent performances in the
Turner ring. He knocked out
Aaron Perry. a former favorite
here, in the 10th round and fol-
lowed with a 5-round kayo over
Carey Mace of Hartford. Two
weeks ago in Hartford he earned
a draw with Johnny Cesario. That
was the fight around which a big
rhubarb was built when Cesario
first was declared the winner un-
til somebody added up the ref
eree's scorecard again.
MILAN recently returned to ac-
ton after layoff due to a bro
ken jaw and decisioned Johnny
Williams at Turner's. He had
Williams on the canvas, some
thing that Freddy Dawson, one
time welter titleholder, couldn't
do when he fought Williams. It
was Dawson who broke Millan's
jaw, incidentally.
