Two serious errors were committed in the play of this hand. Declarer committed the first Bridge crime, but fortunately for him it was nullified when his West opponent failed to take advantage of it.

part of West. Obviously he could win only four tricks by continuing hearts, and thus a shift was indicated. Since Declarer was marked with the spade Ace, this left only one suit to lead diamonds which, needless to say, would have defeated the con- tract handily. West's excuse was to our mind very naive. "How could I lead diamonds," he said, "when De clarer had bid them?"

They in- clude the aerial bombing of Shanghai, the crash of a famed aviatrix's plane on a round-the-world flight, the ex- plosion of a mystery munitions ship, the disappearance and rescue of American flier held as a white God by natives in the South American jun- gles, and a pitched battle between the New York police and a notorious two- gun gangster barricaded in a tenement flat with a "tommy-gun.'

You ning with the Jack, should trust your partner to have all South led a spade to suits stopped plus the Ace and a dummy and then lost small club. the club finesse. West. now laid down the King of hearts, and when Declarer played low, con- tinued, the suit. Declarer now esta- blished the club suit, and when West got in, he cashed his last heart, which however gave him a total of only four tricks.
Have you spotted the two mistakes?" The first occurred when Declarër rés fused to win the second round "of hearts. There was no point in höld- ing up his Ace, for if West had a five-card suit and the club re-entry, the contract could not be made; if he had only four hearts, the contract was safemal
