THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1955.
TAKE YOUR CUE FROM HORACE LINDRUM Army Cricket
Don't Fear The 'Spider'
The 'Spider, like the half-butt and the long-butt, is
an awkward instrument.
That I won't deny. But all of us at some time or another are faced with # position whereby the cue-ball is blocked by a cluster of other balls and the ordinary bridge-hand is impossible.
The Spider is the only means of overcoming this difficult situation. So in studying the gume, be sure to place the correct value on this strange looking implement.

The picture of the "Spring Double”, the Lincolnshire Handicap and Grund National, is a little clearer, though not much, with the announcement of the first acceptors. There will be a final acceptance for each race next month.
Forty-nine horses have stood their ground for the flat race and 51 for the big chase. There were no really surprising withdrawals for either race. The most note Shuttle Tourney worthy Lincoln entries for whom forfeit has been declared are Moonlight Express, Stormy Hour and Shurragh; and Lanveco Poulmic, Statecraft and Stormhead in the Grand National.
