dead man than he ever was worth

Now Matt figured to collect an
added chunk of interest.
To that end, he contrived. Just
before midday, with a carefully
mixed company of riders from sew
eral outfits, to come upon the dead
man, still swaying gently in the
breeze
They cut Hector down and tied
him across saddle, faces turning
bleak. Matt summed it up briefly;

That inference of having done
the deed the cowRrdly way, when
they had been afraid to do il be-

effect. He went on grimly:

Again he was silent, waiting fol-
the obvious implication to strike
home. Then he swung his horse
abruptly.

Uncle Ruy's Corner 8, so"e" co'~e'

People are excited on the day Of
an American presidential election.
They are anxious to learn who will
win.
A century and half ago, news
about elections was slow In reaching
different parts of the United States.
Nothing in the way Of telephone OF
telegraph existed then. Neither was
there any train service. Stage
coaches and mounted men carried
letters from place to place. II a
man in Tennessee learned about
the voting In Boston In four or five
weeks, he was fortunate.
The present election is being
handled in very different way!
After telegraph and telephone lines
bring in the reports, newspapers
and radio stations spread them in
q hurry. In afternoon papers on
ELECTION day are returns from few
villages, usually in New England,
where the polls sometimes close by
noon.
The big election news comes later,
after the early evening closing Of
polls in thousands Of cities and vii
Ilages. Then people listen to the
radio and television, and buy extra
papers on the street.
without the work Of reporters
Evening star., 1952-11-03

The radio would have far too little
to tell the public. Well over 1885,
600 persons are expected to gather
the news, and telephone or tele-
graph it. It was announced q few
weeks ago that the largest press
service planned to use 5000 per-
sons in collecting election returnsl
Teletype machines transmit elec-
tion news from city to city. This
news goes out from sending ma
chimes in various centers, and
reaches thousands Of newspaper Of
fees. The teletype receiving ma
chimes operate something like type
writer's, but they operate In an au-
tomato way. News comes from
them in a constant stream, day and
night.
In these days of modern wonders,
the teletypesetter also is employed
in some newspaper plants. This de.
vice, or system, takes news as it
comes IN by wire. and type Is set
by q machine at the receiving end.
With this help, there can be greater
speed In printing election news.

The bidding:
South West North East
heart Pass 1Spade Pass
2d'm'dS All Pass
What would you do with Mr..
Dales hand in today's deal? His
partner opened the bid with one
heart. The books say Mr.. Dale's
hand is too strong to pass, so that's
out.
The books also say he shouldn't
bid one spade because his spade
suit is not strong enough to quail
ify as biddable.
Neither can he bid two clubs or
two diamonds because his hand, in
general, is not strong enough for
q two-over-one response.
A bid of one no-trump, with al
weak singleton in partners suit, Isl
avoided by good players. What is
he supposed to do, then?
The answer is, of course, that
Mr.. Dale has no good bid at all,
no comfortable bid, no bid which
does not run some chance of mis-
leading partner. He has only al
choice of bad bids-and that isl
where the good judgment comes
in. He must choose the bad" bid
which is least likely to misleadI
partner and therefore least likely
to land the partnership in an un-
makable contract.
I think Mr.. Dale made the best
choice. He bid one spade on his
slightly shaded spade suit. If Mrs.
Keen rebid two hearts he would
pass. If she rebid two clubs or two
diamonds, he would pass. If she
raised to two spades, he would take
his chances there. If she bid three
spades or three hearts, he would
try three no-trump.
Mrs. Keen's actual rebid was two
diamonds, which became the final
contract and was made with an
overtrick.
In deciding on the one-spade re-
sponse, Mr.. Dale's reasoning went
something like this: It's better to
lie little about your suit than to
lie about the overall strength of
your hand.

That foal was Curtice, a crack

Bill King Back in Competition
To Defend Area BowIinq Title
By Rod Thomos

It's bad news for Washing
tons top duckpin bowlers that
big Bill King, who so far has
passed major competition this
season. will be back for the de-
fense of his District match-game
championship.
In case you've wondered what
became of King, who used to
figure frequently in the bowling
news. he's rolled just enough to
keep his hand in, as a member
of the Rex Engraving team in
the Graphic Arts League, a team
he sponsors.
The match-game tournament
has been held nine times. King
has won it three times, although
he never has been a strong con-
tender for the No. ranking in
this area.
His record in the all-star tour
nament IS a singular one. He
won the inaugural event in 1943.
Four years later he won again.
Another four years, and he re-
peated.
Served 4-Year Navy Hitch.
He missed some of the tourna-
ments because of four-year hitch
in the Navy, but was in the service
when he first captured the title,
the most coveted in the Capital
area. One tournament he missed
because of a tardy entry. Once
he lost in the semifinals-to Cletus
Pannell in 1949-and the details
of this battle King remembers
better than those of his victories.
He lost by one pin in the deciding
game of a match that went the
limit of seven. He picked a two
pin break in the last box, and still
burns when he thinks of it. In
1916 he lost in the finals to Jack
Talbert. 4-3. He is the only bowler
to win the event more than once.
Kings current average is a mod
est 116, not bad for three games
a week. but not high enough ordi-
narily to justify a bowler's entry
IN the tournament. But King in
this sort of competition is not
rated on averages. Nor does he
