The opening lead was the six
Of diamonds and Mr.. Champions
jack fell to the ace. Looking the
hand over, Miss Brash saw she
had just one entry to dummy,
the ace of clubs. She decided not
to use that card for the purpose
of leading a trump from the
board, as it might serve a more
important purpose later.
Accordingly, she banged down
the. ace and another spade. Mr..
Champion won the second spade
and returned the deuce of dia-
n1onds. The hand had looked
pretty hopeless to Miss Brash,
but now she thought she saw a
ray Of light.
If the play of the diamond
suit had been honest, Mr.. Muzzy
had opened his fourth best, which
n1eant that Mr.. Champion was
new out of the suit.
Therefore, if the opposing
clubs lay 80 and if the first
roland of clubs could be ducked
into Mr.. Champions hand, there
was no return lead he could make
which would be damaging.
On regaining the lead, Miss
Brash could knock out the last
outstanding trump, again win
any return and then run the rest
of the clubs, getting rid of the
two losing diamonds in her hand.
Following this plan, she won
the fourth trick with the king of
diamonds and quickly led the
deuce of clubs. But Mr.. MuzZy
put up the jack.
This was a nasty (and COM
pletely uneXpected) turn of
events. Miss BraSh was now
faced with the choice of letting
the jack hold, in which case Mr..
Muzzy would undoubtedly cash
his two good diamonds, or of Civ
ing up all hope of setting the
clubs.
She went up with the ace in
dummy and returned a small
club to her king, on the chance,
that Mr.. Muzzy had started with
the queen-jack doubleton,s But
when the queen failed to drop on
the second lead, all hope was
lost.
THAT jack of clubs was the
best play I ever saw you make,
MuZzy," complimented '&Mr.
Champion.
II always go up with high
card to force out an ace from
dummy" said Mr.. Muzzy proudly.
Mr.. Champion grinned. I'm
glad the result of your play was
better than your reason for max
ing it," he said.

COMPLAINT An drew
Mellon was a hard-working
Secretary of the Treasury
who usually got up before
dawn.
During his stay in Wash
ington Mellon lived in an
apartment house. The suite
below was occupied by an
elderly lady who was a light
sleeper.
One morning, when it was
still dark, Mellon arose and
began to move about his
apartment. The sound of
his footsteps awakened the
lady, as it had done before.
Her patience exhausted, she
went upstairs and knocked
on the Secretary's door.
When he opened it, she said
angrily:
This is a fine time for
a man in your position to
come home every morning
When in the world do you
ever get your work done?"

CLOSEUP
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK (Global)- Every
once in while, one hears
subtle-and sometimes not-so-
Subtle-remark about some Of
the major league baseball clubs
having reached the saturation
point with Negro players.
There may be a few people
in this country who don't en-
firelY like the idea and say so.
there are probably a LOT who
don't care much for the idea
but wouldn't dare say so. and
then there are those who Just
don't care. and we're willing
70 bet that's where the average
fan would stand.
Saturation point? Who ever
heard Of ball club having
reached a point where It was
saturated with good players? And
the only Negro players on any
team in the country are good
players. and when they've been
in the game, everybody knows it.
They all leave their calling
card.
OF course. there may be those
people who make their remarks
about baseball being overrun by
Negroes. in the same light they
used to say that fellows name
had 20 end in ski" to get into
the Notre Dame backfield.
Everybody has had something
to say about that at one time or
another but nobody ever said
the team was top-heavy with
skis to the point where they
replacing them with
Smiths or Browns.
We prefer TO think that those
who refer TO the 'Saturation'
point are only kidding.

Investigate
CoddIing Of
Athletes

WASHINGTON, ID. c. (CNS)
When featherweight cham
pion Sandy Saddler fought
Bill BoSSio on January 18th,
he should have been with the
First Division in Germany.
This was the charge made
by Congressman William +.
Hesse, a Republican of Ohio
and chairman of the investI-
eating Armed Services SUBJ
committee investigating the
alleged coddling of star ath-
letes by the Army.
SandY's army case history is
supposed TO be the second of
10 horrible" examples OF top
athletes given special treat
meni by the Army and un-
covered by the Hesse commit
tee.
According to Hesse. Sandy
was given 80 days leave by the
First Division in Germany when
he wasn't entitled to it,
The regulation says man
overseas can't be given leave to
90 home unless he has six months
service remaining TO be served
after the leave is over. Saddler
was due to be discharged in
April. He was granted leave
early in December
Not only this. the probe shows
that Saddler signed to fight Bos-
$40 in New York without the
Army'S knowledge and the date
he did sign for--January 18th
was six days after his 80 days
leave was to expire
Sandy then applied for a Is
day emergency extension on the
grounds that his wife was sick
with virus He offered doctors
certificate 10 prove II and the
extension was granted.
When Col. John Roosman was
asked what he thought about
Sandy outwitting his commanding
officers: "Hindsight is better than
foresight" sighed the Colonel.
1--WE didn't learn that he fought
in New York until a week ago.
General Herbert B. Powell oil
Army personnel said that granting
Sandy leave was a mistake
and that the officer responsible
had been punished.
