Uncle Ruy's Corner

Philadelphia Is where the first
American daily newspaper was pub
lished. This was the Pennsyl-
vania Evening Post, and it be-
came a daily in the closing year
of the American Revolutionary
War.
The editor and publisher was
Benjamin Towne, who had started
out as q printer. He founded the
Post before the war broke out,
and during the war he usually
managed to publish it two or
three times q week. At the end of
the fighting, he turned it into a
daily.
Towne may have honor as the
founder of the first American daily,
but he had little respect from
others in Philadelphia. He had
changed his politics during the war.
His paper had followed the Patriot
cause at first. After the British
army occupied Philadelphia, Towne
wrote in favor OF the Tories. When
he started publishing his newspa-
per as a daily, he went back to
the American side in his editorials.
That pioneer daily usually was
a single small sheet published on
both sides. Sometimes, however, 1t
was ISSUED with four pages.

Contract Bridge

BY Eosley Bloekwood
Some bridge players who love to
double for penalties have developed
a saying, "Whens an opponent over
calls in suit you had intended to

and it's often true. But not always
There are other important con-

It is more accurate to say that
the time to double is when you can
make more points by doubling than
by taking any other action.
In coming to the right decision,
vulnerability and humanics are vi
tai factors. In today's hand Mr..
Dale thought he could defeat Mr..
Champions two-heart bid. And he
was right.
He could have defeated it by two
tricks-or by one trick if Mrs. Keen
had cashed the ace of diamonds at
any time during the proceedings.
Reverse the vulnerability and Mr..
Dale probably would have doubled.
But he was vulnerable and his op-
ponents were not. To set Mr..
Champion two tricks would have
been worth 300 points. To bid and
make vulnerable game was worth
lot more. That's one of the rea-
sons Mr.. Dale took the action he
did.
He also had this thought. The
overcaller was Mr.. Champion-a
sound bidder and a fine dummy
player. If it had been MIR. Muzzy
or even Miss Brash who had made
the two-heart bid, that would have
been another matter.
Then it would have been much
more likely that a three or even
four-trick set could have been
realized.
Mr.. Dale knew that Mr.. Champion
would not come out on the collection
of trash that would incite Miss
Brash or overcall. He also knew
the hand would be played a trick
or two better than Mr.. Muzzy would
play it.
All in all, he decided to go for the
vulnerable game. As you see the
game was made even though Mrs.
Keen held a near minimum, includ-
ing singleton heart.
