faded to third as Never Say Die
began to move up with a mile
to go.
Never Say Die made his bid
312 furlongs from the finish and
bolted to the front in the last
furlong. It was one of the easiest
victories in the>history of the St.
Leger, which first was run in
1776.
Canadian-owned Blue Sail,
ridden by Johnny Lbngden,
American jockey, finished 10th.
Blue Prince came in fifth and
Amber II was 14th.
Never Say Die, ridden by
Charlie Smirke. English jockey,
raced the distance of a mile, six
furlongs and 1872 yards over the
egg-shaped course in three min
utes, 1925 seconds.
Elopement took second place
by four lengths from the French
owned Estremadur.
Before the race the Daily Ex-
press said Longden was ques-
toned secretly by Doncaster Rae
ing stewards two days ago.
The newspaper said the stew
ards questioned Longden about
his off-track interest in Blue
Sail.
I'm not saying that wasn't
asked some questions" Longden
told a reporter. But I have
absolutely no comment to make
on the matter"
An Express reporter asked
Longden:
''Is it true you have a share
in Blue Sail? Is it true you
have q bet on him for the St.
Leger?"
The Express said: "Longden
reckoned both questions amount
ed to an insult. He added that
mis- son, Vance, a trainer in Call
ifornia, held an interest with
the joint owners Max Bell and
Frank MacMahon of Calgary,
Canada.
Bell and Paddy Prendergast,
trainer of Blue Sail, refused
comment.

Members Of q lung cancer
panel at the international Con-
gress Of Pathology agreed yes
terday there is a relationship
between an increase in cigarette
smoking and q rise in lung can
Ger deaths.
But the group of doctors and
statisticians about half Of whom
pulled cigarettes at a news con-
ference couldn't agree on a
statement that cigarettes are a
causative factor" in lung cancer.
The news conference followed
a concluding session at which
scientists from several nations
presented statistics tending to
show that a rise in cigarette
smoking parallels a rise in lung
cancer cases in many parts of
the world.
Sidney j. Cutler, analytical
statistician for the National
Cancer Institute at Bethesda,
Md, told the group that studies
show that smokers face a far
greater chance of developing
lung cancer than nonsmokers.
More Data Needed.
Discussing these statements
and others indicating that ciga-
rette smokers face earlier death
than nonsmokers in some age
groups at least. DR.. Warren
Shields Of New England Deacon
ers Hospital at Boston said:
IT think we have a strong
lead in these Investigations but
certainly we need much more
information before making posi-
tive statements"

Mr.. Champion led the five Of
hearts and Mr. Dale had to make
up his mind whether to hold off
or to win. If the diamond flnesse
was right, nine tricks were i'm
mediately available-six dia-
monds. two hearts and a club.
But if Mr.. Abel held the king
of diamonds. there were only
five tricks in that suit and a
spade trick would have to be
picked up to make the required
nine. In this latter case. the
hold-up at trick one seemed to
be called for.
However, there was another
point to consider. If the defend
ers were permitted to hold the
first trick. what if they shifted
to clubS-a suit in which Mr..
Dale had Just one stopper. Then
the diamond flnesse would have
to be right.
Mr.. Dale realized that he
might 20 set no matter how he
played. But if the hand was hard
to play, it was also hard to de-
fend. In view Of the danger OF
a club shift he elected TO forget
about the hold-up and to put
the defenders on the spot at
trick two.
Accordingly, he won with the
ace of hearts and led a spade
from the board. 1t should have
been clear to Mr.. Abel that the
old master was trying to steal a
spade trick. else why was he
ignoring the long diamond suit
In dummy?
Apparently it wasn't clear.
for Mr.. Abel played low. Mr.
Dale won with the king OF spades
and shifted to the 10 Of dia-
monds, which was ducked in
dummy. With one spade trick
home he didn't care now whether
the finesse worked or not as he
had nine sure winners.
Note that even if Mr.. Abel
had taken the first spade. he
would have had to shift specit-
ically to a club. That is. II he
returned a heart MIR. Dale could
have won with the king. hoping
Mr.. Abel had started with just
two hearts. The following dla-
unond illnesses would lose, but at
this point there would be no
way to reach Mr.. Champions
hand to cash the rest OF the
hearts.
