It has been stated that the

the Imperial State Crown, which
weighs hardly two and a half
pounds.
The Imperial State Crown

When I think of the crowning
of Elizabeth II as Britain'S
Queen, my mind goes back to an
idea which I had when I was a
small boy. I supposed. at that
time, that kings and queens wore
crowns most of the time they
were awake.
The fact is that monarchs like
to lay aside their crowns, for the
sake of comfort. If nothing else.
They wear these royal symbols
on special occasions. but in
everyday life are glad to be free
of the weight. Often they ap-
pear in public without crowns.
One day l saw King George V
and Queen Mary riding on a
London street; both wore hats.
Among the British crowns is
the Crown of England, or st.
Edwards Crown. This was made
for King Charles II, but one

It's difficult to catalog decep-
tive defensive plays. Usually you
have to improvise your false
card or other stratagem. basing
your play on the specific layout
Of cards in the current deal. And
the bit Of deception which might
be killer against one four-spade
contract could be exactly the
wrong thing to try against an
other.

Some good deceptive plays are
easy to see but in today's deal
Mr.. Dale used some rather in
volved reasoning to hit upon the
play which put Mr.. Abel on the
wrong track.
The opening lead was the trey
of clubs. The four went on from
dummy. Mr.. Meek played the
nine and Mr. Abel won with the
king. The five of spades was now
led to dummy's six and Mr.. Meek
took the trick with the ace.
While Mr.. Meek was thinking
about his return, Mr.. Dale rea-.
soned as follows. It was clear
that Mr.. Abel had started with
both ace and king of clubs. He
must also have the eight spot,
since Mr.. Meek would have
played that card instead of the
nine, if he had held it. There
fore Mr.. Abel had a club loser.
Was he trying to make sure
Of using every possible entry to
dummy and if so, why? One
reason would he that he held the
queen doubleton of diamonds and
wanted to lead up to it, hoping
the king was in Mr.. Meek's hand.
If this were the plan and if
Mr.. Meek won with the king of
diamonds, Mr.. Abel could win
any return, cash the queen of
diamonds, go to dummy with a
trump and park a club or heart
loser on the ace of diamonds.
AS you see, Mr.. Dale's reason
Ing was very good. When Mr..
Meek returned the deuce Of
hearts at trick three, he was
ready. Mr.. Abel played the ace
and Mr.. Dale promptly dropped
the queen.
1t now appeared to Mr.. Abel
that Mr.. Dale had only the king
Of hearts left. If that were true,
then another heart lead would
set up the jack-on which los
Ing diamond could be discarded.
Mr.. Abel went for the play and
the defenders were able to knock
out Mr.. Abel's last club stopper
while Mr.. Meek still had the king
nf diamonds.

vile "Drytowners" beat the Lon

Mid-Six contest.
In the first quarter London was
not able to move the ball out of
their own territory. They kicked
on fourth down; Westerville got
the ball and drove it down to Lon
don's 2 yard line, where the Raid
ers" held the ''Drytowners" for
four downs. The Raiders" then
took over on their own 2, but fail
ed to go anywhere SO they kicked
on third down. Neither team was
able to gain much yardage the first
quarter. In the second quarter
Westerville moved the ball down
to the London 16 yard line, where
a pass from Close to Townsend
was good for a touchdown. The eX-
ira point was good, and the half
ended with Westerv-i-le ahead z to
0.
Early in the third quarter Lon
don tumble was recovered by Wes-
terville. The next WeSterville play
was an 85 yard run and a touch
down by Townsend. Again the ex-
ira point was good, and the score

the "Drytowners" drove the ball
down to the London 10 yard line,
where another pass by Close, this
time to Gorsuch, was good for a

thrown for a II yard loss, and on
the third play London pass was
intercepted on London's 35 yard
line. On the next play Close went

When the Cincinnati Baseball
Club announced on September %,
1853, the signing of George Bird
ie" Tebbetts to a tWo-year contract
as manager of the Redlegs, Presi-
dent Powell Crosley, Jr., and Con-
eral Manager Gabe Paul issued
this joint statement:
Birdie" Tebbetts is intelligent,
aggressive, young and knows base
ball. He should make us a fine
manager and we are proud and
happy that he has accepted the Of
fer to enter our organization. The
fans of Cincinnati will like Birdie
Tebbetts."
General Manager Eddie Stunpf,
for whom Tebbetts managed In
dfanapolis in 1858, said Birdie did
an excellent job with our India
napoliS club. I've been in this game
long time but he's the best
ever saw at maintaining harmony
in a club. He's a great favorite
with the players; demands and
commands respect; plays no favor
ties; is an absolute perfectionist;
and has great ability to recognize
pitching talent in the raw. Yes sir,
Cincinnati got itself quite a fellow
and quite a manager in Birdie. He
could become one of the great
managers"
Just what manner of person is
this, who with only one year of
managing experience is named as
the thirty-sixth manager of the
Cincinnati Redlegs and receives
such glowing tributes ?
The articulate Tebbetts was
fiery, brainy catcher during his
playing days and has carried over
the same qualities into his manag-
ing.
He has an intelligent approach
to the game. A stickler for details,
he keeps daily charts on his men,
especially the pitchers.
TO my job / bring an intense
desire to win. l want aggressive
players. We will all work together
with one goal in mind-giving Gin
cinnati a winner" declares the
new skipper.
Birdie received his nickname be-
cause of his shrill voice. AS a
youngster, his aunt said, he chirp-
ed like a bird.

Ohio Duck Hunters
Warned On
United State Law

Columbus, Ohio-According to
reports received by the Ohio Di-
vision of Wildlife, Ohioans are
continuing to forget that the Ohio
River does not belong to Ohio.
The reports, including a tele-
gram from the u. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, point out that
some Ohio waterfowl Hdnters are
shooting at and killing ducks on
and over the Ohio River. This is
illegal. The Ohio River, where
most of the shooting repeatedly is
being done, is within the state
boundary of Kentucky. The Ken
lucky waterfowl season does not
open until November IL.
It should be pointed out that no
person is authorized to shoot at or
kill waterfowl on or over the Ohio
River prior to the November II
date.
1t is quite possible that hunters
are of the opinion that the recip-
rocal hunting agreement between
Ohio and Kentucky is in effect
during the waterfowl season as
well as during other hunting sea-
sons. This is not true, as the wat
erfowl regulations are controlled
by the, Federal Government and
not by the states.
Hunters are cautioned that strict
enforcement of the waterfowl sea-
son will be observed in Kentucky
and that hunters shooting at or
over the waters of the river are in
danger of prosecution by Kentucky
authorities and Federal officers.

Since the mice use underground
tactics, a fruit grower may not
realize his orchard is under attack

It's always open season on the

The orchard cleanup will re-

that the child is making prog
