Wilson and Hayes had sent wires
calling the deal Off but when
the Yanks informed them that
they intended 10 hold them 10
their agreement, Hayes gave
:hem the impression that they
would stick 10 their original
terms with the New York team.
In the Yankees statement they
said further, "Dr. J. B. Martin
president OF the Negro American
League. Of which Birmingham
is member. has requested that
Yankees send all available in
formation on the deal and has
intimated that. in view OF Hayes
wire TO Lee McPhail. Wilson's
contract rightfully should be as

There is no place in baseball
major league. minor league, or
Negro league for tactics OF the
sort encountered IN this case,
he stated.
Wilson was secuted by Tom
Greenwsde in Puerto Rico late
in January. AT the same time
Greendale secuted Luis Marquex,
an outfielder. who has been pur-
chased from the Baltimore Elite

RECOMMENDATIONS to- WatCh.

Accolade originally meant an en-
brace followed by the touch OF a
sword blade in comforting knight
hood. The word is French, from
the Italian accolata, from the Latin
accolare, "to embrace"
The customary extended meaning
today is, IAN honor or award Ac-
colade is pronounced: AK-uh-LAID'::
or AK'uh-LAID.
Most dictionaries are divided be-
tween KAR-uh-m1 and KAR-uh-
mel, the first syllable "a" as in
carrot, for the word caramel.
The customary pronunciation
among people who give caramel
three syllables Is: KAR-uh-ml. But
even this pronunciation does not
prevail in the country as a whole.
The pronunciation KAHR-m1 Is
customary in the speech of many
Americans of good education; a
survey might show that KARH-ml
is the predominant pronunciation in
the United States. At any rate, it is
so widespread that it must be ad-
mitted as a permissible alternative

II your dictionary wears q long

pronounce harem as "HAY-rem," !"
the second syllable rhyming with
hem, gem.
OF course you will not want to use
a fossilized pronunciation as HAY
rem" Pronounce the word as you
always have: HEHR-um, to rhyme
with harum- -scarum.
In the Southern states the word
lack is commonly pronounced "like."
That is to say, the word like is used
instead of lack in both speech and
writing, as "He liked several votes Of

Lack, of course, should rhyme with

A Variation of the ''Uppercut" Play.

i
If, in order to defeat a contract,
you must find your partner with q
particular card and no other card
will do, you must assume an opti-
mistic attitude and play as though
you knew that card to be there,
however unlikely such an occurrence
may be. Sometimes the card sought
is relatively uniinportant one, as in
today's hand.
South's bidding was not in accord
with accepted standards. The proper
opening bid with his hand was one
heart, rather than one diamond, but
South was one of those players who
are violently opposed to opening
with a four card major. North re-
sponded with two clubs. South bid
two hearts, which North raised. to-
three and South contracted for
game.
Vests lead of the ace of spades,
the unbid suit, was clearly indicated
and when East signaled with the
eight, the suit was continued for
three rounds. With book in, East
must look around for the setting
trick. There was obviously none
available in clubs, because South can
have no more than two Of the suit
and the flnesse must work. He has
bid two red suits, accounting for at
least eight cards, and has followed
to three spades, leaving him at most
two clubs.
If West should, by some strange
chance, have the ace of diamonds,
he could not lose it. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that the only real chance
for another trick is in trumps.
Since the bidding has shown that
declarer has eight trumps, East
knows that the finesse will almost
surely be taken against his queen,
so that the cause is apparently lost.
There is, however, one remote hope,
and that is that West holds the nine
of hearts. East, therefore, led the
18th spade. South discarded club
and West, realizing what his partner
had in mind, trumped with the nine
of hearts, forcing the ten from
dummy East could not now be pre-
vented from winning a trump trick.
If the jack we're led from dummy,
he would cover with the queen and
was sure to win a trick with the
eight-spot.
Tomorrow's problem:
Partner open with one spade, you
hold:
