Defends Middle
Crown Against
Jose Basora Fri.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20-(AP)-
Ray Robinson the world welter-
weight king and Pennsylvania
middleweight champion, defends
the latter title Friday night when
he takes on rugged Jose Basora of
Puerto Rico in a 15-rounder in
Scranton's Dommore Stadium.
The two originally were schedul-
ed to tangle on July 10 but Sugar
Ray withdrew because of a pain in
his back. Since then the Harlem
Flash made a successful defense
on his weller crown by out-point-
ing Charlie Fusari in Jersey City,
Aug. 9.
Basora and Robinson met once
before fighting a ten round draw
in Philadelphia, May 5, 1915.
A loss to the hard-hitting Puerto
Rican could ruin Robinson's hopes
for a title shot against world mid
dleweight champion Jake LaMotta.

Hunters used to spend a great
deal of time going out to shoot the
birds known as prairie chickens. -
They found the flesh good to eat,
very much like that of pheasants.
Laws have cut down the hunting
of these birds, which are in danger
of becoming extinct. They are re-
ported from time to time in various
parts of the United States, chiefly
from Minnesota and the Dakotas
down to Colorado and northern
Texas, and as far east as Indiana.
They also exist in southern Sec
tions of Manitoba and Saskatche-
wan. In general, however, we may
say that they are much more rare
than they were during the first
quarter of the present century.
Only 80 years ago an observer in
Minnesota reported seeing about
10000 prairie chickens in a huge
flock, huddling together on a Febru-
ary day.
Prairie chickens come close to
being of the same size as common
barnyard chickens. On wings, back
ana sides, their feathers are yel-
lowish brown, spotted with black.
Their lower feathers are barred
with white and dark brown. Even
their legs are feathered and this
helps to keep them warm in winter.
The western plains make up their
natural homeland. They can fly

full flyers.
On the ground, a prairie hen
scratches out shallow hole, as
the basis for a nest. The nest is
lined with little grass and some
feathers. In 1t the hen lays from
8 to IL eggs.
There are time when the males
in a flock of prairie chickens do a
great deal of fighting with one an
other. This is carried out chiefly
in the morning. Later in the same
day, the males move around to-
gether, seeking food and acting as
peacefully as one might wish. The
next morning, however, they are
likely to have few more hours
of fighting.

While servile adherence to the
broad general principles laid down
by authorities will get the average
player by with reasonable degree
of success, sight must not be lost
of the importance of viewing each
case in the light Of its own special
circumstances.
Authorities, for example, will
advise you against the indiscrimi-
nate lead of an ace against slam
contract as tending to simplify
many of declarer's problems. But
you may be in possession of some
special information about the hand
In question gathered from the bid
ding, I presume) which would make
such a lead not only desirable, but
almost obligatory.
The West of today's hand was a
player of some standing in the
bridge world, but proved to be the
"goat" Oh this deal. After the am
bilious contract had been fulfilled,
he stoutly defended his choice of
leads in the post-mortem discus
sions. Only after group of his
colleagues, an imposing array Of
talent, voted unanimously against
him, was he willing to abandon his
position.
The bidding was quite involved,
and at some points open to serious
question. The opening bid of one
spade is the accepted procedure on
hands of such mediocre honor
strength, where it is desired to show
both suits at as cheap as possible a
level. The suits in such cases are
treated as though they were of thel
same length and the higher rank
ing one is, therefore, bid first.
North'S bid of six diamonds Is not
recommended. A sure profit by way
of doubling five hearts would have
been sounder procedure.
West was quite persuaded that
declarer was void of hearts and
therefore elected to lead the nine of
spades through dummy's announced
stopper. He reasoned that dummy
might have something like ace
queen of spades and he hoped that
declarer had two of the suit so
that trick could be established
before the ace of clubs was dis
lodged.
The reasoning was good as far
as it went, but unfortunately it did
not go far enough. The recon-
mended lead is one from which the
experts normally shy away, namely,
the ace of clubs. And I think the
reasoning is neat. Norths jump to
three no-trump would make it an
odds-on chance that he had three
clubs, suit that at that time had
not yet been mentioned. South's
bid of five clubs makes it clear that
he had at least five of the suit.
This would leave only one club for
East or possibly none. He should,
therefore, be able to ruff the second
lead of clubs. It's just simple
arithmetic.
