the obvious comforts, he
moved to a more modest fiat.
One day a friend was
critically surveying the new

HABIT - British actor
manager Sir Herbert Beer
bohm Tree was a generous
spender-far too generous
to suit his hackers.
The actor was in the
habit of taking one of his
hackers to lunch everyday
at an expensive hotel. One
afternoon, his companion
became annoyed with him
for this needless expense.
you don't have to show
me this royal treatment"
he said. "I don't mind hav-
ing a snack at the corner
restaurant"
Tree took him at his word.
The next day he escorted
him to the corner shop and
ordered a cup of tea and a
biscuit.
How is that?" he asked.
"Just fine" said the other.
Nov, what are you going
to have?"
"Me?" laughed Tree. "You

He did not go all the way to
game because Mr.. Dale's nom
vulnerable overcall might have
been shaded a little, but his
jump to three spades was a
strong urge and Mr.. Dale was
expected to go on to game If he
had fairly respectable overcan.
Mr.. Abel led the jack of hearts
and Mr.. Muzzy took the first
two tricks with the king and
ace of that suit. He then made
the bad decision to shift to the
four of diamonds.
Mr.. Dale overlooked one way
to make the hand which was to
ruff out Mr.. Muzzy's twice.
guarded king of clubs. How
ever, he made the hand anyway
when he got Mr.. Muzzy on a
dead squeeze at the end.
He won the third trick with
dummy's ace of diamonds over
Mr.. Abel's queen. He led a spade
to his king and Mr.. Abel won
with the ace. A diamond was
returned and Mr.. Muzzy's ten
was taken by the king in the
closed hand.
Mr.. Abel had now shown the
ace of spades, the queen of dia-
monds and the jack of hearts.
Mr.. Muzzy had to have the king
of clubs for his opening bid,
Also, unless Mi Abel had been
false-carding on the first dia-
mond trick, the jack of diamonds
was in Mr.. Muzzy's hand, too,
Mr.. Dale cashed the jack of
spades and Mr.. MuzZy discarded
a small heart. Next he led the
six of hearts and ruffed with
dummy's queen of spades.
He came back to his hand
with trump, cashed his re-
naming trumps and the queen
of hearts.
Mr.. Dale's last two cards
were the nine of diamonds and
the five of clubs. Dummy was
down to the ace and queen Of
clubs. Nj. Muzzy had to play
to the 18th trick from a hold
ing of the king and one club
ard the jack of diamonds.
He knew he couldn't let the
diamond go, so he dropped his
small club, trying to look as
innocent as possible. But Mr..
Dale led a club and went up
with dummy's ace. dropping the
king and making his contract.

come to Dick Mestsu
his brains on some phase Of club
repairing. If Bill charged for
the information that he dis
penses free. he'd be q wealthy
man.
Hardy was working on some
new No. 5 woods the other day
and remarked that more golfers
were ordering the deep-faced
woods from him than ever be-
fore. The reason, he suspects.
is that the manufacturers are
making clubs with such slight
degree of loft that the average
golfer has difficulty in getting
the ball OF the ground.
Hardy took some clubs from
the shelf, stock models. and put
them on his intricate instru-
ments. Some of the brassies
virtually were drivers. and the
No. 4 woods were more like
spoons.
The thinking there must be
that Manufacturer B will boast
that a golfer can hit the ball
farther with his club than he
can with Manufacturer AS. Sure
he can, If BIS club has less loft.
So Manufacturer A reduces the
loft on his club and the golfer
the average golfer. that is-gets
more distance with it because 1t
is more upright. But the poor
golfer doesn't realize he is the
loser because he's going to have
more trouble getting the ball of
the ground.
Just for example, the manu-
facturer's scale books call for a
driver to have 10 degrees loft,
brassie l3, spoon is. and four
wood, 10. Many of today's driv-
ers are 9, spoons IL. etc, and a
degree of loft makes tremen-
dous difference in getting of the
golf shot.
Somebody asked Bill what was
the straightest faced driver he
ever had seen. Hardy makes a
hobby of putting every name
