MASTERS OF BRIDGE
(By ELY CULBERTSON)
Mr. Walter Beinecke is a player | of an extremely daring type.
His favourite Bridge - haunts in Now York are The Whist Club, of which he has long been an honoured mem- ber, and Crockford's Club, where he finds much enjoyment in meet- ing the ranking players of the world in the quarters of the club set aside for experts. Not only is Be a very strong player, but he is as well, a close student of the game. One of his theories, which, jincidentally, is proved on the hand
below, is that two four-card avita | will almost always produce an extra trick.
This is the hand that Mr. Beinecke held in a recent Rubber game:
