That was after Calumets Ponder

The long layofY between the
classics makes 1t impossible 10
guess accurately the probable Bel
mont field The distance OF a
mile and q hak also is going TO
weigh heavily in the decisions OF
owners.
The distance brings you back
to Ponder. In both the Derby
and Preakness he showed he re-
auires a long way to 60 TO make
his powerful late drive click. The
Derby is sixteenth OF mile
longer .than the Preakness az a
mile and three -sixteenths and
that meant q lot to Ponder,

up the chances OF Isidor Bieber S
Palestinian.
Capot Earns Top Rating.
Palestinian missed catching
Capot In the Preakness by only a
head and II the wire had been a
couple OF yards away he might
have made 1t.
But on the basis OF a first and
second In the two classics, capot
must rank now as the colt for the
others to beat In the Belmont
|. Trainer John Gaver thinks so
himself.
After the Derby he warned.
"Capot is the horse to beat from
now on" He said thet race was
what Capot needed to reach his
peak.
Capot has shown he's got beth
speed and staying power. In the
Derby he ran at the head OF the
pack with Olympia and In the
Preakness he took the starch out
OF front-runner Noble Impulse.
The 1856 for the Preakness was
q Pimlico track record, the second
set by Capot at the track. Earlier
this spring he won the Chesapeake
Stakes at Havre de Grace.
II he does cop the Belmont.
Capot will come close TO living UP
TO his name. It's derived from a
play In an old card game. piquet,
in which all the tricks are taken.

If the contrast between running

So says virtuoSo Szigeti.
Since receiving his letter, I have

that Mr.. Czigeti has come across the
true source of the expression.
According to the Dictionary Of

British Vice Consul, tells me that

he believes he has found the origin
of the expression to run" for Office
Mr.. Szigeti the is also an author

Il happened upon this comment
in Sir James G. Frazer's The Golden

apparently the right to the hand of
the princess and to the throne has
been determined by a race. The
Alitemnian Lybians awarded the
kingdom to the fleetest runner.
Amongst the old Prussians, candi-
dates for nobility raced on horseback

There would be no reason, there

WATER GLADIATOR
(Gndpote),

Guapotes, often called warm
water wolves, are scrappy fish OF
Central America. They live In weed
grown banks of sluggish creeks that
twist and wind across the floor of
the Aguan Valley. They thrive In
marshy back water sloughs which
split canebrakes along the river.
The guapote reminds you little
of a black bass. On the bronze back
are six dark bands. However, the
mouth is something to reckon with.
The upper and lower jaws terminate
in a pleated cartilaginous growth
unfolding like an accordion. AS 1t
opens it forms a long elliptical tun-
mel, the bony lips of which are
armed with a single row of needle
sharp teeth. The extraordinary
power of the slamming trap does
much harm to your line and when
the fish strikes viciously at the bait
or another fish you are not sur
prised at the results.
The fish strikes quickly and sub
sides, then it darts off swiftly, get
ting the line snarled in the water
logged brush, or If you have sew
eral hooks on the line, you have
trouble ahead.
Guapotes are cannibals and their
own fry is excellent bait. During
the hours preceding violent tropi-
cal storm the fish are voracious,
striking at anything within reach.
An 8-pounder may fight for sew
eral hours before he is taken. His

The return of the highest Of part
ner's suit Is looked upon as an OBJ
rgation by the vast majority OF
bridge players. This is a relic from
the uniformed of the early days OF
suction. In returning partners
suit it is proper to lead the highest
in only a few cases. Where you
have originally two or three WORTH
less cards of the suit. the highest Is
returned for informative purposes.
But where your original holding was
four or more of the suit, the appro-
pirate card to return is that which
was originally your fourth highest.
This too is done for informative
purposes and provides partner with
an accurate count Of the suit. Oc-
casionally, however, one must refuse
to return the highest OF his partners
suit for a very commonplace reason.
That is, that one cannot afford TO
part with the card. This must be
based on plain common sense, an
example of which is recorded today.
We are not responsible for the
bidding, but are here only in the
capacity of a reporter. 1t is usually
what happens with part-scores. One
stretches a point to open and then
stretches another point to keep 60
ing to complete the game. It's all
right when North has raise OF to-
days kind, but what happens when
the raise to two spades is a ques-
tionable one? My policy is to treat
the part-score of 80 as though 1t
were no part-score at all, for the
purpose of opening the bidding.
Against the final contract West
led the 2 of hearts, dummy played
low and East properly played the
8, hoping his partner had led from
the jack. This forced the ace. A
low club was led to dummys 10
and East took the trick with the
ace. He shifted to a low diamond
and the defense ran four tricks In
that suit. So far everything had
gone smoothly. It is at this point
that East slipped. With book in, he
decided to return his partners suit,
for which he cannot be blamed, but
In returning the highest of his
partners suit he ruined the defense.
The trick was won by dummy's king
and declarer ran off four spade
tricks. On the fourth of those
West was left with the good jack of
hearts and the queen-nine Of clubs,

East had placed him in that posi-

est of his partners suit East should
have returned the six. In this way
East would retain control Of the
heart trick and West could guard
clubs or spades, whichever he had a
