With a cold game at no trump
any defense, Mrs. Keen and Mr..
Abel had managed to land in four
heart contract, which should have
been defeated. But as Mr.. Cham
pion's anger indicated, it wasn't.
This is another illustration Of how
you can tell your partner what suit
to lead If and when he gets in.
Somehow Mr.. Mulzzy got of to his
best opening, the seven of clubs.
The queen was finessed and Mr..
Champion won with the king. Now
Of course he couldn't possibly know
at this point whether the contract
could be defeated op not.
This, however, he did know. He
didn't want diamond lead from his
partner. A diamond lead might
well lose trick, whereas. q spade
lead could not possibly lose.
Using the suit preference signal,
Mr.. Champion would have returned
his lowest club If he had wanted a
lead In the lower of the other two
plain suits. Actually, he welcomed
q lead in the higher suit, spades.
Therefor, at trick two he led back
the nine of clubs.
Mrs. Keen won on the board with
the jack and led the ten of hearts.
Mr.. Champion stepped right in with
the ace and fired back. the eight of
clubs. Mr.. Muzzy ruffed for his
sides third trick and now had a
choice Of leads between spades and
diamonds.
After some thought he came to
the brilliant decision that Mr..
Champion might have the ace of
diamonds and that the lead of the
queen might trap dummy's king.
Just what he thought Mrs. Keen
had opened the bidding on is not
quite clear.
In any case he led the queen cf
diamonds and Mrs. Keen won with
the ace. She took round of trumps
and then finessed against Mr..
Muzzy's jack of diamonds, making
her game.

@. There's an argument brewing
about the pronunciation of the

James Joyce. Also, did the general
Ulysses s. Grant pronounce his
name In the same way?-Mrs.
J. NJ. T.
A. The general was christened
Ulysses Hiram Grant. But the Con-
gresham who appointed him to
West Point got the name wrong,
writing Simpson" instead Of Hiram.
Grant, on learning that he had
been ofiicially entered as ulysses
Simpson Grant" accepted the new
middle name rather than 60 through
the red tape of having the error
corrected.
Ulysses, both the title of the book
and the generals name, is cor
rectly pronounced: Yoo-LISS-eeZ
The pronunciation commonly mis-
used, "YOO-liss-iss," has no sane
ton. Say: Yoo-LISS-eez.
Houston: Please tell us how to
pronounce the surname Of Joseph
Szigeti, the famous violinist.
Answer: The correct pronuncia-
ton Is: SIG-eh-tee (sig as in "sig-

Balls have held a place in games

Balls have held place in games
for thousands of years. Ancient
Egyptians played with them, and
so did the Greeks and Romans.
The balls used by the Romans
were of various sizes. Some were
filled with feathers, but others
contained hair, moss or air. Since
nothing in the nature Of rubber
was known in Europe at that time,
we may figure that animal blad-
ders were employed.
One Roman game was known as
"trigon." Three players took up
places at the points in an equal
sided triangle.
Two balls were thrown when
trigon was played. One man would
throw to either of his opponents,
and the object was to cause the
others to "muff the ball." Two
balls might come toward a player
at the same time, and he had to
be clever to catch both of them.
Sometimes a trigon player saw
ball speeding toward him while
he was in the act Of throwing the
other ball. In such q case he tried
to make the catch with his free
hand.
Perhaps some readers Of this
column viii test the game Of tri-
gon. In that case, I suggest that

Jonathan was a little discour-
aged but he did as he was told
He climbed on the stick and
jumped and jumped. But he never
jumped higher than a few inches
and never got closer to Santa
Land.
Never mind. We will try
again." said the dwarfs. "You
mustn't get discouraged If you are

couraged.

In other words. if you play in a
completely routine, textbook man
ner, your more skillful and more
experienced opponents will probably
outplay you in the long run. But
even the great Mr.. Champion, for
example, cannot see through the
backs of the cards and, if put to q
guess early, is just as apt to guess
wrong as any one else.
Of course, every hand will not
lend itself to this treatment and /
am not recommending that you
throw all caution to the winds and
lead any card at random in the
desperate hope that something will
happen" You've still got to pick
your spots.
In today's hand it was Mr.. Dale's
opening lead. Before telling you
his choice, look at Mr.. Champions
prospects. He has to lose one heart
and one club. If he can finesse sue
cessfully against the queen Of
spades, he has just one spade loser.
But Mr. Dale's opening was the
ace of spades. He followed up with
the deuce of spades-and Mr.. Cham
pion had a hard decision to make
at trick two. Is it common to lead
the ace from an AO2 against a
suit contract? I think you will
agree the answer is no. Mr.. Cham
pion knew it was possible, but he
finally decided it wasn't probable
In any case. there was no way in
the world for him to know for sure.
He went up with dummy's king
and Mr.. Abel showed out.
If Mr.. Dale had opened a side
suit. and if Mr.. Champion had
started spades himself. there is little
question that he would have nm
essed against the queen.
And note that Mr.. Dale took prac-
tically no chance by leading the ace
of spades. If the king had not
shown up on the board, he would
have shifted. retaining the guarded
queen for a certain winner later in
the hand.
