were
Declarer was "seated in the South, and his side was not vul- nerable. East and West vulnerable. He opened the con- tracting with one spade.
West could not overcall with two hearts, being vulnerable, and a sult overcall should not be made with a four-card suit. West, how- ever, elected to overcall with one no trump. North bid two hearts. East passed and South bid three apades. His partner carried the contract to four.
The Play
West had a difficult opening. However, he selected, the king of hearts and South won the trick in dummy with the ace. He return- ed the three of spades and won the trick in his own band with the
ace.
He has six trump in his own hand and three in dummy. With nine trump in sight, many players believe it is wise to depend upon the drop of any missing high however, trump. In this case, East's ten should be a warning. With two missing honours, I would prefer to play for one in each hand.
South correctly reasoned that he could not take the chance of trying to pick up the queen of spades, even if East held it His next play was the nine of hearts which West won with the queen, but West was now practically helpless.
To lead a heart would give the declarer three discards. To lead a club would make both of the de- clarer's clubs good.
All that West could do was to cash his ace of diamonds, and now it was immaterial what suit he led, excepting trump, which would cost a trick. But South had West successfully made his contract of four spades.
Discovering and creating a hid- den entry in dummy is one of the pretty plays in bridge.
MOTOR ACCIDENT.
MR. MORRIS' HELP TO THREE INJURED
A young Chinese woman, a teacher of the Young Chung Girls' School of Calne Road, was fatally injured and her two young com panions, a boy and a girl, received erious injuries as the result of a disastrous motor mishap, while they were proceeding along Jubilee Road at Aberdeen on Saturday morning,

quite clear how his car happened to dash over the road and fall into a hollow. One of the girl passengers, Yeung Wei-lal, was thrown several feet out of the car, while the other girl passenger, her younger sister, was also badly hurt. The car was badly smashed.
Timely Assistance.
1
It is believed that the accident occurred between 11 and 11.30 a.m. Sometime after the mishap Mr, A. Morris, the Commissioner of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, happened to pass in his own car. He immediately went to the assistance of the three in- jured, all of whom were in dia- tressing plight and bleeding.
It was then seen that one of the Young ladies was in grave condi- tion and after getting all three into his car Mr. Morris drove them to the Government Civil Hospital where Yeung Wel-lai died at six n'clock on Saturday afternoon." Enquiries at the Government Civil Hospital last night elicited the fact that the other two patients are progressing well and are in no danger.
