An interesting deviation from the
normal cross-ruff technique is pro-
vided in today's hand. In playing
at a cross-ruff, one usually tries to
single in all the small trumpS. To-
day declarer had to trump with
the ace, king and queen to safe
guard himself against an over-ruf
which would have brought about a
, complete collapse Of the hand.
The bidding sequence was rather
laborious. Though all four suits had
been announced by the partnership,
the unbalanced nature Of both their
holdings ruled out final contract
in no-trump, and, while high con-
tracts with only seven trrlmps should
be avoided, there was no road to
game other than by way of four
hearts, and it must be conceded
that that road was not well paved.
West chose to open the ace OF
spades and, in pursuance OF partners
signal, continued the suit. This was
not an auspiciouS manner in which
to launch the defense. If ever a
bidding sequence. cried out for a
trump opening, this was it. Dummy,
having bid spades and diamonds and
supported a secondary heart suit,
marked himself with no more than
one club and probably none. That
declarer would have to ruff clubs
in dummy couldn't have been any
clearer. An attack by way Of trumps
was plainly indicated.
South won the second lead OF
spades with dummy's king and saw
that If he could win six trump
tricks, his four high cards on the
side would bring the total to the
necessary 10. He, therefore, cashed
the ace and king of diamonds and
ruffed diamond with the six OF
trumpS. Note that he chose to ruiz
a diamond rather than spade.
Warned by the opening lead that
West might be short of spades, he
sought in this manner to protect
himself against an over-ruff. He
then cashed the club ace and ruifed
low club with the five Of hearts
in dummy. From here in, declarer
must play cautiously to avoid an
over-ruff, since the location of the
Jack Of hearts cannot be determined.
The next three tricks were won i'll
decisive fashion. Diamonds were
ruffed with the ace and king Of
hearts and club with the queen
of hearts in dummy. This left one
trump in each hand, the nine in
dummy, and the ten in declarer's
hand. A spade was led and ruffed
with the ten of hearts. West could
over-ruff, but the nine of trumps
became established as the tenth
trick.

BIG LEAGUES VERY SHORT
 OF PITCHERS
By Associated Press

It's an old tune. but as long as there's baseball, major league man. agers will sing it. It's short one and goes like this:
 Give me another pitcher"
 With the official opening of thC majors only three days away. mos managers were making eleventh hour efforts today to bolster theii mound staffs = with the possible exception of the Boston Red Soz and the New York Giants. Botl Steve O'Neill, Sox skipper, and Lee Durocher of the Giants. can sit back and watch the scramble.
 The Sox and the Giants are two of the favorites to take the Amer ican and National league flags. But how about their main rivals?
 In the American, the defending champion New York Yankees ar6 worried. indeed, what with Allie Reynolds on the sidelines.
 Il Ilc OlcNCldlio 1liuldA4os SOOI tipoff on what the tribe thinks of its hurling depth can be found in yesterdays box score. Johnny (re- member his two straight no-hitters 12 years ago?) Vardermeer hooked on with the Indians on trial basis last week.
 He got into one inning against the New York Giants at Winston Salem. N. C., yesterday and was pounded for seven hits and five runs.
 In the National League, if any one is going to beat out the Giants, say the experts, it will be the Brook lyn Dodgers. Brook President Walter O'Malley said only yesterday that "Cincinnati, Boston and St. Louis have pitchers we could use"
 Howie Pollet of the Redbirds IS the boy O'Malley would like to see in Brooklyn uniform.
 And so it goes right down to the potential second division clubs . Give them another pitcher and they might be a threat.
 They might, at that.

Portland's bumptious Beavers - displaying all-around balance they didn't suspect they had - are rat tling full two games ahead of the Pacific Coast League pack.

 San Francisco, coming back oil { the basement floor, swept its three game series with Oakland with 4-3 victory. Manager Joe Gordon's homer gave Sacramento 5-4 win over Seattle, and Los Angeles Fred Bazewski edged Hollywood's Vic Lombardi in To southpaw duel.
 Holders two-run smash and Ba- .sinski's loner saddled San Diegos Red Embree with loss within three innings.
 San Francisco made it four ' straight after their disastrous 13- game losing streak by getting to Wes Bailey for three runs in the fourth and deciding fourth tally in the eighth.
 Gordon's game-winning blast came in the ninth and gave Sacra- mento's Glenn Elliott a victory over Seattle's Jim Davis. Herm Reich's circuit smash had tied the score for the Sacs, who earlier had ruped . a 80 lead on Jim Tabor's bases loaded triple.

Initiation Summed u Up Plainly
Every One Ready for the Sacrifices of Others
Lovett Tells Meeting of the Cabinet

President Truman's first post
holiday meeting with his Cabinet
was a serious occasion.
Imitation got the star billing.
It requires immediate, drastic
action on the whole front with
a genuine equality of sacrifice
from all, the President was told.
Deputy Secretary of Defense
Lovett made the principal pres
entation of the issue in that
marvelously lucid and exact
manner Washington has long
admired. Mr.. Lovett was able
to drive it home with his &C
count Of how, almost from day
to day, it costs more to buy the
defenses which America has Or
dered for her protection against
Communism. ao
He summed up plainly: Every
one is ready for the sacrifices Of
others but what is required is
sacrifices from every segment OF
America-labor, farmers, busi-
ness, the consumer-and moth
ing less will suffice.
The President appeared to be
impressed. Chief MobiliZer Will
son, who now regularly attends
Cabinet sessions, did not put up
an argument either against the
seriousness of the situation.
How much the President was
impressed will be seen shortly.
In the past he has inclined to
the view that imitation would
