During the last century.
there were millions of passen-
ger pigeons in North America.
Today, so far as is known.
there is none. If someone
found a pair of them alive, he
probably could make a fortune.
1t is amazing that such a
vast family of pigeons died
out. Before speaking of the
reasons, let US go back to some
of the old records. John j.
Audubon, famous naturalist.
wrote these words about pas
senger pigeons 126 years ago:
"The noise which they made,
though distant, reminded me
of a hard gale at sea, passing
through the rigging of a close
reefed vessel"
Forty-four years later, the
editor of a small newspaper in
Kilbourn, Wis, wrote:

But they're speaking from the
technical standpoint which
isn't the whole story at all.
Mr.. Champion made just one
bid in today's deal and who
could say it was a bad" bid?
His hand was good dummy for
a heart contract and he had
practically no defensive power
against an opposing game con-
tract at diamonds.
His opponents were vulnerable
and he was not. His three heart
call was intended to show his
partner a sacrifice in hearts
might we'll be a paying PROPOSE
ton. depending of course on the
later progress of the bidding.
Makes considerable sense,
doesn't it?
Nevertheless, Mr.. Champions
bid was a bad bid. 1t was bad
with this particular partner and
against these particular oppo-
nentS. He had forgotten hu-
manicS-the art of playing the
people as we'll as the cards.
Here's the way he should have
reasoned. His partner, Mr.. Muz-
zy, was the weakest player in the
game. What sense would there
be in encouraging a sacrifice,
which would merely prolong the
rubber and increase the number
of hands to be played with Mr..
Muzzy?
Every hand with Mr.. Muzzy is
a potential catastrophe. Why
not get it over as soon as pos
sible?
Why not indeed? :. But Mr..
Champion failed to ask himself
these questions. His suggestion
of a sacrifice at hearts was
eagerly accepted by his partner.
So much so the opponents were
eventually driven into a six dia-
mond contract.
Mr.. Muzzy doubled confident
ly-then proceeded to lead the
only suit which would give Mr..
Dale a chance for his contract.
The lead was a heart. Mr.. Dale
won two heart tricks with his
ace and queen, discarding two
spades from dummy. He lost
only one trick-the ace of clubs.
If Mr.. Champion had stayed
out of the auction entirely, there
was an excellent chance the final
contract would have been five
diamonds undoubled-a sub
stantial saving.
