Contract Bridqe
Washington, D. C.
iNDAY, OCTOBER go, 1852

By EosIey BIoekwood
One of the more irritating things
that can happen to you at the
bridge table is to have declarer say
thank you" after he lays down
the ace and king of a suit, drop
ping your doubleton queen.

The bidding:
East South West North
di'm'd 1heart 2di'm'ds 4hearts
All pass
This is especially bad when you
and your partner had at least five
cards in the suit between you. You
may force a weak smile, but Sc
cretly you hate declarer and plan
q horrible revenge.
In today,s deal, Mr.. Muzzy said
''thank you" to Mr.. Champion, his
right-hand opponent. In this case,
however, he had nothing to thank
anybody for, as the play Mr.. Cham
pion had made was the only pne
to defeat the contract.
Mr.. Dale opened the six Of dia-
nonds and Mr.. Champion won with
the queen, Mr.. Muzzy dropping the
eight. Mr.. Champion studied the
situation for quite some time be-
fore leading to the second trick.
Finally, he made beautiful re-
turn-the trey Of clubs. Mr.. Muzzy
was startled. Whoever heard OF
leading right into an ace-queen?
Whose club is that?" he asked,
confused. Mine" barked Mr..
Champion. "Are you going to play
to the trick or not?"
well, thank you for the lead. I"
said Mr.. Muzzy, with mock cour-
tesy. "I was Just wondering
whether to finesse the nine or queen
of clubs and you've taken the guess
out of it."
Mr.. MuzZy had the first laugh
but not the last. Mr.. Dale played
the king of clubs and dummy's ace
won. Mr.. Muzzy cashed the ace
of hearts, then led to his king.
He next led a spade and f1nessed
the nine. Mr.. Champion won with
the queen and led another club,
the seven. Mr.. Dale's ten forced out
dummy's queen. On the next trick
Mr.. Champion was in with the ace
of spades, at which time he cashed
his pack Of clubs for the setting
trick.
Mr.. Champions reasoning at
trick two was excellent. From Mr..
Dale's diamond raise and lead OF
the six of diamonds, plus Mr..
Muzzy's play of the eight spot. he
figured he could win only one trick
in that suit.
Heart winners were extremely un-
likely. He might win two spades,
but apparently the setting trick, II
any, would have to come from clubs
Time, then, was of essential i'm
portance. The club winner had to
be set up before dummy's spades
were good.

The Pagan Spring

When the sun with stealihy fingers
 Lifts the CovcIlct of night. Wakes the earth with sweet Caresscs
 Blushes sweep the early light Tn love there is more pain than pleasure Some small shame ln each delight Always dross in every treasure,
 Each caress brings beauty bright. The white snow of modesty
 Ressts the warming sun. But soon becomes the sap of life
 And again the world IS young Heads held high in the ecstasy
 That sunbeams always bring. Our feet are deep in Palmer mire,

 First, Feldman crashed his car into the fender of Detective John J. Fleming's car Sunday. Fleming noted that Feldman's drivers license bore the notation: "Void if not wearing glasses"

 Greatly agitated, he drove the vehicle into another car and caromed off it into - Detective Fleming's car.
 Feldman then sat on the station steps until friend came to drive him home.

The Rev. John A. Aspinwall was
called to be the first rector. He
remained at st. Thomas until
1902, thus having served during
the organization and the building
of the new church, of which the
cornerstone was laid in 1894.
It was not, however. until June

held in the new church. Here a
parenthetical comment might be
added: That the first rector and
the present rector of st. Thomas
are related, and that both are also
related to the RooseveltS. The
present rector being a distant
cousin. Perhaps that in some
measure is the reason why his
words seem to ring familiarly.
