In the record books as certainly
the smallest and quite possibly
the most argued-about player
in the games long history.
But 1t would be manifestly
unfair II Weeks fame were
TO rest on this one mad caper.
Reading his book. you will find
that he Is a man Of great per-
sonal courage. no respecter of
sacred cows, and q person Of
common sense and uncommon
intelligence. He also has q
fine flair for the language we
speak. Hear Weeks reply TO
q sportswriter who called the
midget episode vulgar" "I
have never objected to being
called vulgar" says Veeck.
THE word. as I never tire of
pointing out to my tireless
critics. comes from the Latin
'vulsaris.' which means-stu-
dents?-'the common people ?"
Weeks command Of English
was acquired by the same
method that I have 50 often
recommended 10 readers OF this
feature. Listen: Reading had
always been q great part Of
my fathers life and 30 Il be-
came q part Of the life Of the
family. As long as I can re-
member he read 10 us after
dinner. Every Christmas he
would give me the complete
works OF two or three authors,
sometimes as many as so books
altogether. I'd have them ali
read In three months and he'd
keep feeding me more"
Tomorrow let's hear some
more about Bill Veeck, baseball
magnate turned man OF letters.

Opening lead: Ace Of hearts.
North didn't know what to
do over the opening bid Of four
hearts. A double would be for
penalties. and North wasn't
sure Of taking four tricks. A
bid for eleven tricks would be
just as risky, so North passed.
North thought he knew what
to do when South bid four
spades. He jumped to six
spades and smiled.
why shouldn't he smile ?"
you ask. What can possibly
happen to take the smile off
his face?
Just remember that Jack
Ehrlenbach, the famous Fly
ing Dutchman Of Los Angeles,
was in the East seat. Mr..
Ehrlenbach conjured up a bo-
geyman that robbed South Of
his slam.
Plays King
West opened the ace Of
hearts, and Mr.. Ehrlenbach
played the king Of hearts.
Clever, but useless" you
mutter.
West naturally continued
with the jack Of hearts, and de-
clarer ruffed in the dummy with
the queen Of spades to prevent
a possible over-ruff. After all,
West might have started with
a nine-card heart suit for his
opening bid Of four hearts.
When East produced a heart
at the second trick South real
lied that he had been horn
swoggled into wasting dummy's
queen Of trumps. Whyp What
did East have in mind?
South slowly came to the
conclusion that Mr.. Ehrlenbach
had the three missing trumps
and was hoping to get q trump
trick. This conclusion hung to-
gether with Vests opening bid
and with East's fancy play at
the first trick.
So declarer led the seven Of
spades from dummy and let 1t
ride for q finessel
West took the setting trick
with his singleton jack Of
and North hasn't smiled
once since that day.
