Ambitious Opponent's Close Double Turns Average Board Into A Top BY WM. E. McKENXEY Secretary, A i a Contract League Close doubles are often used in duplicate.

Players double for a prospective set of one trick when they feel that the opponents have pushed beyond the limits of safety, and that a bad score will result if the contract is played undoubled. If the hoped-for penalty materializes, at least some points are saved, but if the contract'is made doubled, nothing but a large and impressive zero may be anticipated. Today's hand was played in a recent Master Point tournament, in which Gordon M. Gibbs of Bloomfield, N. playing with Cecil Friedman of Newark, had an average board transfOKRs4-into a top by an over-ambitious opponent's close double- Obviously with the spade king in the East hand and only singly Frederick.

That Codiva business happened about 300 jeiierations ago. You i see. this dame, who was just 'after publicity, started nding through Coventry, her horse was white Yesiir pure white! But the Mlu.iUon got very embarrassing as they went along.

Old would stop and jsay. "My word, isn't that a pretty white And kids would yell, Hey. lady, you forgot vour spurs'" Well, this horse, my ancestor, got to blushing, and he blushed so hard that he turned into a sorrel. Pretty soon the cop.s caught up with Lady Godiva. "Whoa is me!" said my ancestor, when he saw them coming.

The- sergeant read a warrant for a on a white horse. neither of them wearing a bit But this filly, Godiva. said, "Neigh. neigh! You boyi better trot back to your checker Katue. because this Is a horse of another color!" Fine Folks On Mama's Side, Too Q.

Very interesting. And your family have been jorrels ever since? A. That's right, in my father's family, anyway. They descended to the famous Morgan strain of trotters. in Vermont, and my father vos a Morgan.

Mein fodder aLo was a mudder. That is, he was good on a muddy track. My mother came from undistinguished but hardy western pioneer stock, from down around Gallup. N. M.

She met papa whea he came from the cast on a barnstorming trip, and they got hitched. I get my dramatic talent from both sides of the family, because mother was cur-razy about show- business and she sometimes played in rodeos, and she would stand for hours admiring circus posters on the barn. When Sire Morgan came out to that country, a handsome high- stepper from the Grand Circuit, she thought he looked just like the model in the horse-collar ads. and she called him Pegasus. He called her Whinny-the-Poo.

They teamed up right away, and one night they 'loped. It wasn't long, though, before he began straying away, and all the waggin' tongues on the ranch said he was browsing in the wild oats. Mother would nag him, and then he'd stall around and get sulky. Well, i it wasn't long before papa decided he couldn't stand double-harness any longer, and he vanished without a trace. Didn't Want To Be A Mama's Colt Q.

Then you never knew your father? A. No. My mother was saddled with all the responsibility of taking care of me. Where we lived was not exactly a one-horse town. but I always wanted to get out of there and kick up my heels a bit Mother worked like a horse to earn my keep, but I never had done anything although I was broke -when Gene Autry came along and bought me for S75.

I was so happy I felt like a 3-ycar-oid. In fact I was a 3-year-old. That was five years ago. Q. Did your career begin right away? A.

Well, there was a little training, and we started in movies the next year. Pretty soon Gene got to be the No. 1 cowboy of the screen, so that made me a star of horse-opera! I'll bet my father is proud of me, if he's still kicking around. I can't even keep track of the hundreds of stage appearances we've made, or the thousands of miles we've traveled. I've shaken hands with mayors in hotel lobbies, and in Tuisa I even had a hotel room of my own, and a pedicure the next morning in the barber shop.

I've broadcast on the radio. I get a lot of fan mail, and some people say I've got ears like Clark Gable and a profile like Barrymore. All in all, I've been mighty lucky.
