baseball different from either. For
time the contest was known as
"toWnball." The first record of a
club with a townball team dates
back to 1888, when the Olympic
Townball Club was organized in
Philadelphia.
Six years later, according to
claims which have been put forth,
a man named Abner Doubleday
drew up set of baseball rules. This
is supposed to have been done in
the village of Cooperstown, N. Y,
about so miles west of Albany. The
claims rest on very slender proof,
and there is strong doubt that Dou-
bleday had much, if aything, to do
with the early playing of baseball.
In any case the year 1845 saw
famous old-time baseball team
started in New York City. The
players were called Knickerbockers,
and they wore fancy vests and knee
length pants with bows of ribbon
at the knees. They used paddle
shs Jed bats to strike the ball.
year later the Knickerbockers

lost in that suit. Declarer, therefore,
refused to ruff the third round of
diamonds, discarding instead a los
ing club from dummy.
West could not safely lead from
his club holding, so he chose to
exit with the three of spades and,
though dummy put up the nine,
East was not taken in by the play.
He ducked and declarer won with
the blank ace. South now led club,
which East won and returned a
club. West covered the king with
the ace and returned the queen of
clubs. This time dummy ruffed and
East was forced to follow.
Declarer had succeeded in two
purposes. He had conserved a trick
and he had secured entry into dunn
my in order to take the heart
finesse. When this succeeded he
was safely home with his contract.

T axe MyWord for 1t
By Frank Colby
ImDly-Infer,

@. Let's do something about the
common confusion in the use of the
words imply and infer. I see them
misused by so many writers that I
fear the true meanings of the words
will be lost completely. I wonder if
you'd note this particular pitfall in
your column, and therefore call at
tention to the correct usage. I
should like to pin up such a column
on our school bulletin board so that
both teachers and students may
profit by it.-M. G. G.
A. You're right. The words are
confused in the minds of most of
Us. Indeed, Merriam Webster's says
Of the word infer that 1t is used
loosely and enormously" in the
meaning of ito imply"
Here are the true distinctions:
To imply is to hint at; to suggest; F;
10 insinuate; to express indirectly.
To infer is to draw a conclusion;
10 deduce: to receive an impression.
Thus, the speaker or writer i'm
plies; the listener or reader infers.
How to to use the words:
I do not imply, nor do I wish you
10 infer that -.
His words imply that he is dis
pleased with us. From his words I
infer that we displease him.
There is an implication in his
words that frighten me. His words
lead me to an inference that fright
ems me.
Now we see that the two words are
IN no way synonymous. They are, in
q manner of speaking, as direct op-
positeS as throw" and catch" for
to imply is to put forth; to infer is
10 receive.
I feel as does the school executive
that imply" and Infer" are valu-
able and expressive words, and that
we should try to understand and
preserve the important distinction
between them.
A good way of fixing the distinc-
tion in our minds is to memorize
the phrase from a foregoing para
graph:
do not imply, nor do wish you
to infer that :.
That Is really the whole thing in
q nutshell. Repeat the phrase a
few times and you will have added
TO your vocabulary two good words
that will serve you well.

Lightning strikes in the same
place. South for the second day
in a row finds it profitable to dis
card loser on a loser.
The first round of bidding calls
for no comment, but South's rebid
presented a problem. On the basis
of high-card strength, his hand
rates a takeout double rather than
the mere competitive rebid of two
hearts. South, however, refrained
from doubling because of his lack
of preparation for a spade bid by
North. If, for example, South should
double and West should rebid three
diamonds, North might have hand
which would justify his entering
belatedly with three spades, in which
case a somewhat awkward situation
would develop. It is concededly a
close question, and those who might
choose to double would not evoke
any critical comment from this de-
partment.
West opened the king of dia-
monds, which declarer took with
the ace. East started an echo with
the nine. For want of anything
better to do, South returned a dia-
mond. West won with the jack and
East completed the echo by playing
the eight, making it clear to partner
that he had no more of the suit
and implying that he could over
ruff dummy. West, in obedience to
his partners order, continued with
the queen of diamonds. Declarer.
too, was aware that East was now
out OF the suit. If he ruffed with
the jack, 1t was reasonable to sup
pose from East'S behavior that he
would overruff dummy and attack
the king of clubs. Now if the ace of
clubs were in the West hand, where
there was every reason to believe
1t would be, three tricks would he

A little book, printed 1853 years
ago, gives a record of an old form
of baseball in the United States.
Under the head of BASEBALL, -
the book contains this verse:
''The ball once struck off,
Away flies the boy
"To the next destin'd post,
"And then home with Joy"
There is a picture on the same
page as the verse, and it shows three
players touching, or standing close
to, the thick posts which served as
bases in those days. With the pass
ing of time, the posts were left out
and in their place came fiat bags
which were laid on the ground. To
this day we may hear someone shout
to player, "Stay on the bag!" even
though the present bases hardly look
like bags.
AS I said before, the game of base
ball appears to have grown from
the older games of cricket and

A small but successful band of
Washington tournament fans re-
turned from Natural Bridge last
week end with two of the five
Piedmont championship titles and
many master points to their credit.
Outstanding victory of the series
went to James G.. Stone, the Dis
trict's top ranking life master.
He paired with Lewis G. Tubbs Of
Arlington to successfully defend
his open pair title won a year
ago with William Poissant. Mr..
Tubbs is the latest Washington
area player to win the life master
distinction. Topping A pairs in
the qualifying round, the new
champions tied for second place
in the championship fight with
Kathleen McNutt and Mrs. Doris
Vosburgh, both of Washington,
to win a combined score of 218
match points.
With 211 points for the two
sessions. Miss McNutt and Mrs.
Vosburgh netted runnerup awards
overall. High spot of the day
for this duo came on the second
deal in the qualifying round
when. as dealer. Miss McNutt held
A, K, @ of spades, A. K, @ of
hearts. A, K, 4 of diamonds and
A, K, 7, 5 of clubs. Determined to
make up for the unfavorable re-
suits of the first deal, Miss Nc
Mutt gambled with an opening
bid of 7 No Trump. Her daring
was amply rewarded. for her paft-
ner held both the diamond @ and
the @. J of clubs.
First Washingtonians to stake
claim to a title were Wallace
Ashby and David Murray. who
won the mems pair event in the
opening session on August 18.
Concurrently, Mrs. Vosburgh,
