CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney.
The following is another of the interesting hands from the recent All-American championship tour- nament in Cleveland. The hand was played in one of the auction events.
Au unusual distribution of cards makes it possible to execute the
play known as the Vienna coup. Until the start of contract, this play was very rare, due to the fact that It was too difficult to recognize. Since contract, we find more Vienna coup handa "be- cause the bidding helps to locate missing cards.

A
Declarer took three rounds of diamonds to pick up West's trump. East echoed in clubs, dropping the seven and the four. This practically marked the king of clubs for the declarer.
Declarer's next play was to cash his king of spades, and hero is where declarer must be careful -he
must not discard a heart from dummy, but should discard a club.
He then led the jack of spades and when West covered with the queen, it was trumped in dummy with the six of diamonds. And here is where the declarer must make the play known as the Vienna coup. He must lead his

of clubs from dummy, de- liberately establishing Enst's king Now a small heart should be returned from dummy and wan by the declarer with the ace. The good spade is cashed and a club discarded from dummy. The two good diamonds are played-West discards two clubs, dummy a club and a heart.
Dummy is down to the king and seven of hearts. East drops one heart, but on the last diamend he is squeezed. If he drops his king of clubs, the declarer's queen will be good, while he plays the jack of hearts, the declarer will lead the ten of hearts, win it in dummy with the king, thereby catching East's queen, and the seven of hearts will win the last trick.
You will notice that if West had held any heart higher than the seven spol, the play could not have been made.
