The Bidding

South, the dealer, passed, Wert passed, and North opened the auc- tioning with one club,
You will notice that he holds two four-card sults. The heart suit is really the biddable suit, but some- times in third position, when hold- ing two four-card sults, it pays to open the minor suit so that when the heart suit is bid, partner can definitely mark it as containing only four cards.
Furthermore, in this particular hand, North is hoping to get either a diamond or a spade bid from partner, in which case
he will not have to show the hearts. If the diamond bid comes from part- nar then North can make a try, for a No Trump game--unless, as hap- pened in this case, East should bid spades. Then North plans to bid the hearts.
After the club bid by North, East overcalled with one apade.
As
neither side was vulnerable, South was safe in bidding two diamonds. West passed and North showed his heart suit with a bid of two hearts.
Showing two suits in third posi. tion indicates a strong hand." As South has the spade sult stopped, and North has filled in both hearts and cluba, South went to two No

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HARRY GOLDENBERG - The case against Mr. Harry Goldenburg for alleged embezzle- ment of funds, amounting to $7,500, belonging to Backhouse and Co. of which he was the Canton manager, was dismissed by the Canton Bri- tish Consul for lack of evidence, saya the Canton Daily Sun. Mr. Goldenberg is now a free man and has left Canton for Hongkong.
It will be recalled that Mr. Goldenborg was arrested at No. 24, French Concession, at the house of! Mr. Gurvich, some weeks ago.

The Play
It is interesting to note that no lead can stop the declarer from making six odd. North had bid hearts, and while West's partner nad bid spades, the No Trump over- call indicated that that sult was well stopped,
West selected the club suit for his opening lead and played the three, which the declarer won with the king. Declarer now returned a small diamond, playing the king from dummy, East winning with the ace.
East returned a club which the declarer won in dummy with the ace. A diamond was returned From dummy which South, the de- clarer, won with the queen.
He then cashed three rounds of diamonds. West was forced to make two discards, so he dropped a heart and a spade: A spado, a club and a heart were discarded from dummy. East's two discards were two small- spades.
Declarer now played a small spade and won in dummy with the king, West discarding a heart. A small spade was returned from dummy and won by the declarer with a queen, and west was forced to drop the five of clubs.
On the ace of spades West is. aqueezed. He holds the queen, Jack and nine of hearts and the queen of clubs Dummy holds the ace, king and seven of hearts and the- soven of clubs,
If West discards the queen of clubs dummy's seven will be good, while if he discards the nine of hearts, then the declarer will dis- card the seven of clubs from dum- my and all three of dummy's hearts will be good.
While the play produced six odd, six was not bid at any table. Re- member-it is not wise to bid doubtful slams when sura games can be made. Thousands of points are lost annually by players who are continually reaching out for un- biddable slams.
