PRECARIOUS CONTRACTS.
by Ely Culbertann.
No player is particularly pleased when he must play a hand at five of a major suit. While this con- tract is often reached by entirely correct bidding in which a Slam try is made and refused, the De- clarer who is faced with the neces eity of taking eleven tricks when her tricks would have been suf- ficient to secure a game is always fearful that some particularly un-' favourable distribution will defeat his contract one trick, whereas a game could have been made had the bidding stopped at the
Bafe level of four. Even though the bidding was unexceptionable, the Declarer usually regrets the jextra track of the contract.
