Watch Your Bidding; It Can Ruin A Game
By OSWALD JACORY
To the average player, bidding
is bidding and play is play and never the twain shall mezi. To the expert, play is merely a continuation of the bidding.
The effect of the bidding on the play of the cards may be seen in ene of the crucial hands of Last winter's International championship at Bermuda. The British team got to three no trump by the bidding

Surely South had strength spades since he had jumped to twa no-trump over North's bid of one heart. Such a jump bid in no- trump guarantees strength in un- bid suit.
--- Inahort, the bidding made
clear that only in hearts could there be a weak spot. Therefore Schenken took his ace of clubs and promptly returned the queen of heart.

That was the end of poor South. He could easily win three cluba, four diamonds, ond one hear for a total of eight tricks. Whenever declarer led spades in the attempt to Ond h ninth trick. Fast would orash right in with the ace of spaces and the rest of the hearts, defeating the contract.
