Goren on Bridoe

The second hand low" slogan
Is today the target of our special
tnvective.
In the hand shown, West led the
Jack Of spades against the three
no-trump contract. East came up
with the king and South took the
trick. He crossed to dummy with
heart and led low diamond.
East played second hand low" and
the jack drove out the king. West
proceeded to establish the spades,
but when East got in with the ace of
diamonds he had no spade to return
TO partner and West had no entry,
20 the two potential spade tricks
withered and died.
Note how differently this hand
will play If East rises with the ace
OF diamonds on the first lead of
the suit and clears the spades
while his partner still retains the
king Of diamonds for entry. From
the standpoint of defense, the prin-
ciple involved in this case may be
stated briefly as follows: When
your partner is trying to establish
q suit at no-trump, it behooves
you to rush in and win trick as
quickly as possible in order to help
set UP his suit before his entries
are taken away from him.
On the other hand, declarer
could have assured fulf1llment of the
contract by the simple expedient of
refusing to take the first spade trick.
East will continue with the suit, but
then, when he takes his ace of
diamonds, he will have no spade
left to return to partner and de-
clarer has time to build UP his nine
tricks before the spades are estab-
hshed against him.
From the declarer'S standpoint,
the principle involved should be
stated: When holding two shoppers
I'm the suit led at no-trump, the first
trick should not be taken where
there are two key cards to be
driven out. The two cards in this
hand are the ace and king of
diamonds.

Strawberries Good
For ReducerS
by Eta Arnold

Strawberries are coming in
from everywhere now. This years
crop looks good. The berries are
large, firm, and red ripe. Price is
not too low, but then it never is.
Jeanne Owens wine cookbook,
a delightful volume that every
lover of good foood will enjoy,
gives a recipe for Strawberries
that says water should never
touch them. Strawberries are
properly washed in wine. At any
rate, I'm sure you know that
they should be washed before
being capped and never after
ward, or else some of the prcc-
iOus, elusive flavor is lost through
bleeding"
Since a weight watcher has no
business with wine, suppose we
pass on to the use of strawberries
in reducing diet. All fruits are
valuable to a reduCer. Strawbcr-
ries are very high in Vitamin c,
or ascorbic acid, and have gener-
Gus amounts of calcium.
While Strawberries are in sea-
son, enjoy them sliced in fruit
cups. Combined with banana
slices with fresh orange juice
poured over. you'll have a delic-
ious dessert or first course that is
mountaineering without being I'M
interesting.
A half cup of Strawberries has
the low fuel value of 40. So even
a cup of berries would give you
a dessert with fuel value less than
a hundred if you leave the trim
mings off such as ice cream or
whipped cream. Someone has said
that the Creator was at His best
when He made strawberries. En-
joy them at their best, just the
way they were made
The best way for a reducer to
eat Strawberries in Au Naturelle,
or just as nature made them.
They are low in fuel value, but
we raise the value by adding
whipped cream, pouring them
over ice cream, making short
cake. Why not eat strawberries
like they are? Certainly there is
no more distinctive flavor to be
found in any fruit.
Here is a slight concession to
your sweet tooth. Wash three
fourths of a cup of large, well
ripened berries. Leave the cap on.
Arrange a generous tablespoon Of
powdered sugar in the center Of
your prettiest dessert plate. Now
make a circle of berries around
the sugar. Dip the berries one by
one in the sugar, using the cap
for a handle. Pop into your wait
ing mouth.

Having eight legs the tick
belongs to the order of arachnids
which include spiders. It Is the
common carrier of the deadly
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
which has spread over most of
our country.
Before the tick can transmit
the disease it viii have to first
bite a person or animal that has
the fever. After a short incuba-
ton period in the body Of the
tick the germ is then ready TO be
transmitted by the tick into the
bloodstream of it's victim
Death is sure and fast unless
very early symptoms are recog-
nized and medical aid is procured.
In removing the tick, be very
certain the head is not broken
off and left imbedded in the
flesh. This will prevent a serious
infection. Touching a lighted
cigarette butt to the posterior
end of the tick is a very effective
method of removing those that
are imbedded very deeply.
Consult a doctor upon the first
sign of a fever If bitten by a
tick.

MiIlers Purchase 10
Yeur Old OuffieIder
Willie Moys

The Minneapolis Millers have
in the property of one Willie Ho-
ward Mays Jr., outfielder option
ed to Trenton of the Interstate
League, promising Negro
youngster who may eclipse the
fame of other members of his
race now playing in the Major
Leagues before he retires.
Already Mays has one distinc-
ton over such established Negro
stars as Jackie Robinson, Roy
Campanella, Don Newcombe and
Larry Dolby. He represents an in
itial investment on the part of
the MilIers' parent New York
Giants that is greater than any
sum paid out for the above nam
ed players.
In addition to the purchase
price paid TO the Birmingham
Black Barons of the Negro
American League where the 10
year old was playing the out
field earlier this year, the
Giants also paid the player a
substantial bonus. Those two
payments comprise the record
sum.
An interesting tale surrounds
the signing of young Mays this
spring by the New York Giant
scout Eddie Montague. Montague,
who had been watching the young
ball hawk with interest, was fol-
lowing the Birmingham Black
Baron's bus to a game when the
team transport broke into flames.
The players scrambled to safety
and Montague pulled up behind
the burning bus.
While the fire was being
fought, the New York scout took
Mays to one side and secured his
signature on a contract for the
Minneapolis team.
Willie has continued to set the
Interstate league afire. Latest
records showed him hitting 1888
from the right side of the plate
for Trenton while doing an ac-
Ceptable job in the outfield.
There is considerable evidence
in his play in the Glass B league
that says he will be wearing a
Minneapolis uniform next year as
a regular. If he can produce as
well as his predecessors, Ray
cambridge and Dave Barnhin,
Tommy Heath and Rosy Ryan
will be happy.
