MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 26.-1t'S Calu-
met against the field-maybe-
today in Hialeah's $50,000-added
Widener Handicap.
Ten names were dropped into
the states box yesterday, but two
horses were scratched overnight.
Sunshine Stables Red Inquisitor
and Marlet Stables Column de-
clined the issue. leaving five to
compete against Warren Wright's
mighty threesome - Coaltown,
Faultless and Free America.
How many horses actually will
go to post still is unknown.
Whether wagering will be permit
ted in the obviously lopsided race
also Is unknown.

Because the Calumet entry al
ready is the prohibitive favorite,
at least / to 20, there probably
will be no wagering on the Widen

so patrons will have a chance to

Sitka spruce is the largest mem

living in the North Pacific region.
These spruces are unusual among
American spruces, because the Sitka
spruce is the only one to possess
thick, f1attened leaves with four
angles. They grow on smooth stems
and are a beautiful bright blush

in length, sharply pointed with a
wide silvery band of stomata on

the leaves are much thicker and

George Schneiter, manager of
the PGA Tournament Bureau,
prepared a report to the PGA's

The charge is that Metz gave

In years of close association he has

a salute, submitted the above hand
neatly recorded in his own hand

time with a mere end play" he
said, "but since I got two of them
in one hand I thought you might

The brigadier, seated South,
opened, as well he might, with a
bid of one heart and North elected
to keep the bidding open with a
raise to two hearts, whereupon he
Jumped to three no-trump. Feeling
that the hand might better play
in q suit, North returned to four
hearts and West opened trump.
The jack came up third hand and
the trick was taken with the king.
The second trick was taken with
the nine of hearts in dummy and
then came the successful spade
finesse. The ace of spades was
cashed, to prevent the opposition
from returning that suit when they
obtained the lead.
The four of clubs was then led
away from the ace and West was
Obliged to win the queen, but found

the ace Of clubs and got out with
another club, again saddling West
with the lead. There was nothing
for him to do but cash the ace OF
