In any case this is a good example
Of one Of the strong reasons for not
doubling an opponents bid. That
reason is, don't double when there
Is a good chance your action will
warn declarer of danger and help
him to play the hand.
See how this worked out in this
particular case. Miss BraSh led the
queen of clubs and Mr.. Champion
was glad to find out that Mr.. Mllzzy
had even one card in that suit. He
won with dummy'S king and looked
the hand over.
He Ponders.
He could see it would be hard toI
handle. Surely Miss Brash had the
ace OF spades for her overcall sol
that the king of that suit was no
good. If he played the king ofI
diamonds there was no way to re-
turn to his hand safely except In
the trump suit.
OF course, if trumps broke three
two he was all right. But what if
they broke four-one? Then, ap-
parently, the contract was doomed.
But wait minute. Mr.. MuzzyI:
had doubled. What could he pos
stbly have to double on if he didn't
hold as many as four trumps?
Then He Plays.
Thinking this over, Mr.. Champion
played as follows. He cashed the
king Of diamonds, then led the lack
Of hearts and overlook it with the
queen. A small diamond was ruffed
with the king of hearts.
Next the deuce of hearts was led
from the board and when Mr.. Muzzy
played the six spot, Mr.. Champion
nnessed the eight spot. He was
then able to pick up Mr.. Muzzy's
remaining trumps and spread the
hand for 10 tricks.
Mr.. Champion is good, but he
would have had to be miracle man
TO make this play without the help
ne got from Mr. Muzzy's double.

OF Miracle Drugs
BY the Associoted Press

BUFFALO, NY, Aug. 30-Uni-

said yesterday that California sea-
weeds may be the source of future
antibiotics, the so-called miracle
drugs.
The researchers found that
some species of seaweed have the
same effect against disease bear
ing micro-organisms as anti
bioticS.
The researchers were headed
by DR.. Robertson Pratt at the
University of California College
of Pharmacy. Their findings were
reported yesterday at the annual
convention of the American Phar-
Imaceutical Association.
Scientists do not know the
chemical substance in seaweed
which has the anti-biotic effect,
the report said.
