'‘shark leaps in boat ) AFTER bluefish CATCH 1 LONK BRANCH, N. J„ July 14 , (TP)— Sixty-year-old Saul White had a real fish story to tell the boys to- . day. But hereafter, says White, he'd . much rather let the other fellows tell i about their experiences. For his ad ! venture came mighty close to being . h's last experience—on land or sea. Out fishing with his friend, Charles I Dillione, White hooked a 10-pound bluefish and hauled it to the surface. A 500-pound shark had an eye on the same catch. In an instant the eight-foot shark had hurled itself into the open skiff and began thrashing about the stem of White s boat smash ing everything within reach. I White and his friend Dill.one es caped injury and death only by leap . ing to the top of the boat’s super- I structure. For more than an hour they watched the 500-pound shark batter itself into unconsciousness, fearful that at any moment a sweep ! of the shark's lashing tall might hurl them overboard. .Everything turned out alright, however.. The shark knocked itself out after a long struggle and finally was later de ’ stroyed with gaff hooks. White says he isn't quite sure when he wants to go fishing for bluefish again.

WESTON At the Auction They sauntered out all bedecked, and now had a feeling like sitting on the top of the world. SUE was a distinct shock, eyes cosmetically Ha tn ted, mouth a crim son rosette, beneath her saucy chin a perky bow, her pudgy figure, mold ed into fabric of indiscriminate color and design, iluminated with dazzling jewelry that bore no Tiffany label, she was almost incognito. JOE stared at her wide eyed. “Is you jes gone goofy?” He displayed a checked suit, sporty gay tie, and new calf casings that creaked audibly as he strolled along side. A plate glass window commanded their immediate attention. Many people had collected and were elbow ing around to investigate the brisk operations of this enterprise. “What’s goin’ on here?” "I think thye’re holdin an auction, let's shove in.” He steered her through pushing amongst the motley crowd was most exciting and bewildering. Sue sniffed suspiciously an odor that suffused the place. “It’s the embalmed mummy, lady— by the time it gets cold and clammy that smell will be gone,” suggested a het up bystander. The auctioneer was announcing rules and regulations relative to the sale. “Ladies and gents, we have here an extraordinary collection of an tiques—without delay—l will put up this exquisite silver teapot once owned by a king of France, Charley the 10th, and used in his harem. “What am I offered?” From the rear end of the room there re.ounded a squeaky vt>ice. ’ONE DOLLAR” was the lavish bid. The auctioneer cranned his neck to located. “How about tryin' a little “Three Contract Bridge SOUTH WAS DUMB I HAVE just been shown a hand supposed to illustrate how keen de clarer was to detect the only play that could yield him the small slam undertaken. To a novice the strategy will appear flawless, but a more ex perienced player will wonder at South's dumbness in not detecting and frustrating declarer's intention. 48 6 2 4753 ♦9 6 4 ♦ J 10 7 2 lasV< * W • AJI « * 86 4 S. ♦lO 3 ♦9 5 3 ♦ 5 4Q 9 8 6 4 ♦QJ7S2 ♦ KQ Bidding went: West 2-No Trumps; East, 3-Spades; West, 4-Spades; East, 4-No Trumps; West, 6-Spades, which South doubled. The opening lead was the K of clubs. Dummy’s Ace won. North play ed the 7 and declarer the 3. Declarer at once saw that he must go down a trick, unless a miracle intervened, but he had to try for 6-odd. A low spade from dummy was won with de clarer’s 9. The next trick was taken with dummy's Ace, but declarer dar ed not lead a third round, as he had to prepare for stripping hands ana also wanted to ruff a heart in dummy. He dared not risk a heart finesse needlessly. Even if the finesse worked it could not help the club situation, as dummy still would hold two losing clubs just as declarer did. Declarer took his K and Ace of hearts. Then declarer led his J of hearts. South’s Q covered. Dummy ruffed with the 4, holding the Q for future uee. Six tricks had been run off, and North still held the 8 ot trumps but that could not pulled. De clarer’s plan required that trump in dummy as the sole hope of fulfilling the small slam contract which optim istic West had dared bid, although East’s bidding had failed to show slam expectations, or a very long trump suit. The seventh and eighth tricks were won with dummy’s Ace and K oi diamonds. Declarer completed the hand stripping, by ruffing dummy’s last diamond. Then came declarer’s great adventure—his lone hope for fulfillment of contract.

"Now ain't that to laugh? shall I say $1.75 Sir. you over there?” ■ JOE bid on that, it’ll match my 5 and 10 cent stuff.” "$2.00.” came with a bold flourish from another eager spectator. “JOE don't let that bozo take it.” He made an advance offer at once. “Goin’, goin', gone to the gent with the bright wife.” “Now here’s a beautiful etching called, let me se, oh yes—The Six teenth Madonna by Rubenstone.” “For one'so young. I thnk the dame looks pretty much peeved.” remarked a nearby onlooker. JOE and SUE now had their eyes fixed on other rubbish displayed, end when the auctioneer lifted hs ham mer again, they were most enthiisia: tic. having set their minds on sev eral articles as souvenirs of the trip “And now everybody,—here is the Venus of Milo, very high class stuff, by a guy named Remerbrant, I think he did a pretty good job, a dainty imitation of—September dawn—you may find some freckles on her ankles, for she certainly believed in sun baths.” “I'll say the loidy had the courage of her convictions.” observed the cop on duty there to maintain order. The next item for bid was a heavv. gold chain. JOE's eyes became at once rivited. “This splendid article belonged to George Washington, and was found" at Valley Forge after his famous duel with Gen’l Lee. Just what am I bid?” JOE's $2.00 was a first hand prof fer. " Did I hear $2.25? $2.50 from the gent across the way?” '"Make it $2.60 JOE, you’ll lock jes like the mayor.” The purchase wrap ped in tissue. JOE tucked away in his trouser pocket, and unobserved slipped out for a mug of Schlitz whilst SUE's eyes were fixed on a perambulator. She was soon to break the expec tant news to the paterfamilias. On went the persistent salesman. “I am now offering a much need ed commodity, fit for ’■oy^lty— wouldn’t a bunch of quintuplets look cute in this buggy?” Up went SUE s hand and a $3.03 solo rang. ‘ Rol out that chariot so the spin sters can see, it may give them a nuptial idea. Chirp up Ladies—any price—get bizzy—goin’—goin’—gone. A bargain.” It became SUEs treasured posses sion. JOE returned after the next article on parade was knocked down for $1.25. It proved to be the dupli-' cate of his brand new chain. Now W hectic arguments reverberated from SUE, to whch JOE was compelled to lend a willing ear. She had an un deniable hunch that his chain hod _ been lost. JOE dipped down in his pant’s pocket and found nothing, he was now convinced of it having been found and placed again on the mar ket. “That hick had dumb luck, bst I’ll hunt the low-down and knock his block into a contusion.” The square jaw and clenched fist®, obstructed the auctioneer’s transit, who hastily muttered an apology in self defense. “Yeah?" expostulated JOE as he** • sidled up closer.—That monosyllable bristled with antagonism, hostility was in his eye. “Now listen heah Mister —” A telephne call interrupted. “Hello! well, what do you want?”, came from the authority in charge— •>. “WHAT! my collie had four pups?" An inspiration seized him. “Who wants a collie pup delivered C. O. D., a mama one or a papa pup?” A happy smile was misting SUE’s luminous eyes.
