THE BOON TRIAL
Last Prosecution Witnesses In Box
BRIDGE NOTES
I can not repeat too often that |doubles of slams voluntarily bid by good players are extremely un- wise in 05 cases out of 100, Or course, when a defender holds two : trump tricics, and can be sure that they will make even if the dou- bled contract is rescued with on- other suit or no-trump, he may with safely interject a penalty double. But side uult strength alone usually insufficient. The information unavoidably given declarer as to its location often defents the doubler's purpose.

North's slam bid over South's preempt was pretty much of a "stab." He knew it was simply a question of how the hands would CONDITIONED it and realised that there were not enough rounds of billing left to discover this scientifically. As a matter of fact, it should be ob- nerved that the hands at very badly. South's ace of spades was completely worthless, and the diamond queen doubleton instead of the club queen would have made twelve tricks a laydown.
