CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Undoubtedly the most interest- ing.bridge tournament of the year of America is the Individual Masters' National championship tournament.
To qualify as a participant a player must win a national con- |tract championship. These cham- plons are extended an invitation to participate in the event and the committoo then selects the 25 players who will compete
Naturally, the quality of play is of the finest-26 of the greatest players in the United States com- poting for the individual cham- {pionship.
Last year this tournament was won by Mr. Willard S. Karan, wiin presented the gold cup that will be played for annually. This year Mr. Howard Schenken of New York carried away frat honours. Mr. Schenken is to be congratulated for his ability to adapt his game to that of his various partners.
Here is one of the interesting hands selected from the first ses- sion of play. The hand was played by Mr. Lauls
J. Haddad of Chi- cago, 111.

The Bidding.
South passed. Mr. Haddad in the West opened the bidding with two diamonds. North passed and East bid three no trump.
Due to his honour holding, Mr. Haddad decided that it would he best to try for a slam at diamondo and bid six diamonds.
}
The Play. North elected to open the double ton space. The first trick was won by Mr. Haddad, the declarer, with the acc. He led his ace of dia- monds, following with a small club to dummy's king.
The nine of diamonds was re- turned and when South played the queen, Mr. Haddad won with the king. He cashed two more rounds of diamonds. picking up North's trump and diacarding two hearts from dummy. South discarded a spade and a heart.
Mr. Haddad then led the ace of clube, following with д small spade which was won in dummy with the queen. He returned the queen of clubs from dummy, dis- carding a heart from his own hand.
Mr. Haddad now has South's hand counted for two spades and [two hearts, North hos three hearts and a club. His next play is the eight of spades from dum- ny, which he wins with the kingi North being forced to discard the nine of hearts.
*Mr. Haddad
now applies the aquceze card, leading the deuce of diamonds, and you can see North's predicament. He holds the king and ten of hearts and the nine of clubs. If he drops a heart, Mr. Haddad will discard a club from dummy, whilo if he discards a club, dummy's four of clubs will be good. The play gave Mr. Haddad seven odd at diamonds with 100 honours.
