8 TUESDAY - MAY 1973
128TH DAY - 237 DAYS TO COME

Wrote up WATERWORKS, finishing my column. BB typed
the remainder.
Letter from Leonard Williett. He is checking with N.Y. State about
my "unincorporated tax status" - but he is asking a general
question without mentioning me. He also suggested a
"Keough" retirement plan.
Letter from Earl Doherty. He, Alfons, and Les Martindale (of Waddington) will be
in town for Stationary Show and Earl would like the three of
them to visit me, either on 5/20 or 5/21. Martindale is
the product development manager of John Waddington.
To S&T. Gave my column to Redmund. Reproduced my column
from #37; the solution for NINE OF SWORDS; and the rules
and charts and pieces for DECLINE & FALL. Returned the
game to Jim D.. Took another copy of #37. Also took duplicate
copies of KURSK & MOSCOW CAMPAIGN.
To 200 5th. Stopped at S&R and took copies of COOKS TOURS
& WHODUNIT. Looked at LOTTERY GAME and took a catalog
sheet on it. Wrote the rules on this sheet and placed
it in box with WHODUNIT.
Stopped at R.G.I. - Athol head (Stan ?) said that Bob Gellman
is expected back tomorrow. I asked to have Bob call me.
Stan said that they will be needing the PATTON rules soon.
I said that I'd aim for the end of next week.
To "Gamut of Games." Phil was out but secretary said
he'd be right back. Waited about 15 minutes but left be-
fore he returned. While waiting I looked at a book called
GAMBLER'S DIGEST, by Clement McQuaid (edited that is). Has a piece
on BRIDGETTE. There was a game called YOTSY. It is just a-
bout the same as YACHT except that instead of "chance" there
are two boxes - "high" and "low." When a throw is entered in one
of these, the entry in the other must be properly higher or lower.
Called Bob Champer to tell him I won't be home Thursday. He'll call me
Friday to see how I'm doing on the PATTON rules.

(cont. from 5/9) [5/21]
CAPABLANCE CONCENTRIC CHESS - Regular CHESS played on circular
field, so that there are no sides. FOUR HANDED CHESS -
Played on an 8x8 field with 4-16 space additions. A player,
or partners when played partnership can place different
types of pcs. on one space so as to control more directions.
But they can be taken off together. Spoke to inventor and
got this general idea. The woman in charge said that they don't
give samples to anyone, but she'll sell me one at wholesale.
I said no and she said she'll send the rules and I said I'd
try to do a review from the rules. I later found the fol-
