A total of 913 golfers have entered this year as against 1,012 in 1932 and} a study of the sectional lists for the nation-wide qualifying round next Monday shows that the East can be charged entirely with this loss. New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Wash- ington show an aggregate decrease of 164 entries for their qualifying tests.

R. Bradley's Broker's Tip to victory in the Kentucky Derby jcaused considerable speculation around the Pimlico track as to the jockey who will be up on the colt in the Preak- ness Saturday. Meade and Herb Fischer, rider of ‘Head Play, were set down at Churchill Downs Monday, each for 30 days for being “guilty of grasping the equip- ment of the other” during the Derby and Fischer an additional five days for striking Meade after the race. Meade’s suspension, while it does not apply to stake race engagements in Kentucky, bars the jockey from all Maryland tracks during the period, according to Matt Daiger, secretary of the Maryland Jockey club. Jimmy Smith, veteran Bradley rider, who rode Broker's Tip in all four races last year, was mentioned as the most probable to take Meade’s place.

Asked by McCurdy about an opinion of Charles Simon, then assistant at- torney general, given in 1931 and re- uiring advertisements for bids, Swan- son said he paid attention only to that part dealing with election sup- Plies, since that was what they were interested in at the time. He denied, on cross-examination, that he had conversed with or visited anyone connected with The Bismarck Tribune company on the night before the motion to advertise for bids in 1933 was rescinded and decision made to extend the previous year’s contract with The Tribune. Asked by Sullivan if Anderson had | Not twice opposed him as a candidate for county commissioner and if Bliss had not opposed him once, Swanson was stopped from answering and an objection by McCurdy was sustained. Soder, supporting Swanson’s testi- mony on all vital points, said the question of whether it was necessary to advertise for bids had been an argumentative one during his 11 years on the county board and explained the insertion by Chairman Will of ad- ditional matter in the Quick Print’s bid of 1931. The bid, he said, did not specify the quality of materials to be used end Will wrote this into the bid in ink before the contract was let to the Quick Print. Followed Usual Custom He said miscellaneous printing and supply orders were given out to sev- eral local firms in 1931 while the Quick Print had the general contract, mentioning Humphreys and Moule, Hoskins-Meyer, and The Globe Ga- zette, the latter a Wahpeton firm, as well as the Bismarck Tribune com- pany. The fact that some of this business went to The Tribune was a major point in the prosecution's case. The same practice was followed, he said, when The Tribune had the gen- eral contract, such matters being ab: proved by the purchasing commit and the bills paid by the commission- ers. At the time he voted to accept a 10- per-cent reduction in price and renew the 1932 contract, he deemed it a good deal for the county and considered the action lawful, he said. He said his whole knowledge of the proposi- to him in open meeting of the board and that he had entered into no secret agreement regarding it. On April 6, Soder said, he over- heard Conrad and Tiedman in con- versation in the auditor's office and Joined the talk, sitting down beside them. Conrad Makes Threat Conrad, he said, told them: tight, if that’s the way you feel Yabout it go ahead. If they can extend contracts in other coun- ties why can’t we do it here?” Conrad’s answer, Soder said, was: “Well, this is Burleigh county.” The same day, he said, he asked Register’s opinion on the legality of the action and followed the advice Pl until its propriety could be deter- mined by the board’s legal advisor. This was done by a resolution, drawn by Register, after Soder had asked him to be sure and have it ready be- fore the board adjourned its April meeting, On cross-examination, Soder said he had been advised on the printing law by E. 8. Allen, now city police judge and others, and then tossed a bombshell into the proceedings by asserting; “I'm not so sure that you didn’t advise us that way yourself when you were state's attorney.” | MeCurdy started to explain that | was before 1921 and the law had been changed since then, but Soder was {not on the board in 1921 and the jSttement went into the record. pen Golf Meet OWER IN NATIONAL LOOP Jockeys Are Suspended T CONTRACT © EXPERTS PLAY IT_- Soder said his memory on the Simon opinion of 1931 was indefinite. Commenting on the distribution of county printing and supply business, Soder said the Quick Print received some county business while The Trib- une had the general contract in 1932, the latest being envelopes for the county treasurer's office. This item, he commented, was definitely covered in the contract held by The Tribune. Defense Offers Exhibit Later the defense presented a long list of items purchased in 1932 from firms other than The Tribune, al- though The Tribune held the gen- eral contract. This was appended to the record with the consent of the Prosecution. Some of the items list- oe saa bought from the Quick Tiedman said he had no previous experience with county contracts and that the motion to advertise for bids was adopted in March without much discussion. The next day, when the offer of a reduced contract was made, he deemed it good business and voted to accept it. He had no doubt of the legality of such action, said, since he was advised other Counties were doing the same thing. At the time it was voted to extend the 1932 contracts, he said, there was little discussion of the propriety or legality of the action and he be- leved he hada legal right to exercise his judgment in the matter. After the question of legality had been raised, he said, he followed the ad- vice of the state's attorney. ‘Testifying on Conrad's threat to have him removed from office, Tied- man said he met Conrad in the lob- by at the board's April meeting. Conrad, he said, contended that ex- tension of the contract was illegal and said that unless the action were rescinded he would “have the gov- ernor remove you or see that the governor removes you.” Tiedman was not clear as to the exact wording of the threat but was firm on cross-examination that it Gid not consist of a statement that failure to act as Conrad suggested was ground for removal and that it would give the governor a chance to remove him. “He said he would see that the gov- ernor removed me,” Tiedman insisted. Tiedmap said after the threat was made he and Soder went to see State's Attorney Register and were told then about Gronna’s ruling in Williams county. After telling Reg- ister they wanted to follow the law, he said, the latter suggested a course of action which he pursued. Follows Attorney’s Advice A written protest was presented by Conrad and Orr after he had con- ferred with Register, he said, and nes was then following Register’s ad- vice. McCurdy attempted to show that, when Tiedman became a member of the county board, he found Will and Fricke on one side aligned against Swanson and Soder on the other and that he was called upon frequently to break ties between the two groups and that he always voted with Soder and Swanson. Tiedman said he had not noticed that condition and did not think it was true; that he never had an: general understanding with anyone as to how he should vote and always voted in accord with his own judg- ment. The main subject of con- troversy during his brief incum- bency, he said, was the handling of relief money from the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation and on that matter he followed his own judgment without regard to how the other members voted. McCurdy said, during a recess, that he did not know how much he would be paid for his services as special prosecutor in the case but that he would bill the state for the standard ‘amount prescribed by legal practice which is $50 a day.’ It is the com- Ale KENIIY am ! BY WM. E. McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League You can talk about your squeeze plays, end plays and grand coups, but I still believe the most thrilling play jin bridge is a finely executed defen- |Sive play, and here is one that came up in a recent tournament. Again we find the declarer playing @ small slam contract for what he thought to be a sacrifice, and it took very fine ‘defensive play to stop him from making his contract. Generally, if the declarer leads a card of a suit of which you have none, and you have a trump, it pays to ruff, but in this hand you must refrain from doing that on the first round. The Bidding South and West passed. North made a third hand opening bid of one heart. East made a negative double—what he was really interested in was to find out whether or not his partner held four spades. South overcalied the double with two diamonds. West had a singleton of one suit bid by the opponents and @ doubleton of the other, also two five-card suits. More particularly, he had five of a major suit. | While he had no tricks, he was jus- tified in making an overcall of two spades as it was a constructive bid and the distribution justified it. North bid three diamonds and East. bid three spades. South passed and West went to four spades. North and East passed and South @Nore . Seatac 3 decided to try for the sacrifice and bid five diamonds. North and West passed and East bid five spades. South and West passed and North went to six diamonds, which East promptly doubled. The Play ‘West's opening lead was a spade, which declarer ruffed in dummy with the six of diamonds. The ace and a small heart were returned, declarer ruffing the second heart with the four of diamonds. Declarer next led his ace of clubs and when the queen dropped from East, he led the seven of clubs and finessed the eight. If East had trumped this card there would have been no way of stopping South from making six odd, as he could then pick up the trump, ruff a heart and stil have a club with which to take the club finesse, The real defensive play that was made was that East refused to ruff the club but discarded a small spade. Declarer entered his hand by ruffing another heart; but now when he led the six of clubs and finessed the ten, East ruffed with the deuce of dia- monds. East then led a spade which the declarer trumped in dummy with the jack of diamonds. The king of diamonds was led from dummy; but when declarer led dum- my’s king of clubs on which to dis-’ card his losing spade, East ruffed the queen of diamonds, forcing the de- clarer to over-ruff with the ace of diamonds. The declarer then had a losing spade. Refusing to ruff the first club and waiting for the second club lead be- fore ruffing is without a doubt the prettiest defensive play I have seen mon practice for the /ernor, ul this year. ar vee| (Copyright, 1938, NEA Service, Ine.) deciding such cases, to charge these and other costs back to the county.
