CONTRACT KEEP UPKEEP DOWN CONSIGNEES' NOTICE. P & O BRITISH-INDIA APCAR AND
BRIDGE
By W. E, McKenney
To-day's hand illustrates a fine point of bidding which is seldom mentioned by bridge writers and which is totaly unknown to players of moderate-skill It is sometimes necessary to manipulate the bid- ding so that the proper partner will become the declarer.
A contract. which would be im- posible for one partner to make might become very easy if played from the other side of the table, and. the true expert will consider the probable opening lead and the location of the opposing strength: before deciding whch member of his side should play the hand.

This deal presented a difficult bid- ding problem to the East and West players. In most cases the West player tried to make either three no trump, four hearts, or five dia- monds, but all of these contracts were defeated, due to the fact that North opened ' spade through East's queen, and after the first trick the declarer was defenseless In that suit.
The Bidding
South dealt and opened with one spade, which was the only bid made by his side. West doubled and East bid two duba, His hand probably justified a three-club bid, But be felt sure that his partner," would not pass and he was anxious to get as much information as pos- sible regarding her hand.
She bid two diamonds and now. East bid two no trump. He reason- ed that his partner probably had a stopper in spades and if not, she would surely take him back to clubs for his failure to bid no trump on the first round indicated that he did not have the spades solidly stopped." His "quech of spades might be very valuable if lcd up to by South but would be worthles if North were the opening lender.
Furthermore South, having made an opening bid, probably held all the outstanding strength and it was extremely doubtful if North would ever be in the lead at all if East became the declarer.
West bid three no trump which became the final contract.
The Play
South's logical opening was the seven of spades which East took in his own hand with the queen.
He then led a small diamond which South won with the ace and cleared the spade suit by knocking out dum- my's ace. With the diamond guit now established East decided to play for the heart suit and when the jack of hearts dropped on the second round, he was able to make four hearts, five diamonds and two spades, thus making his contract with two overtricks.
When the same contract WILS | played from the West hand it was
defeated two tricks.

"You are up early yourself Steve."
He leaned down toward her ear, regarded it admiringly, then whis pered with mock secrecy,
"I'm not not up this early. I'm up this late! Haven't been to bed yet" With the gesture of a detective flashing his badge, Steve pulled back his topcoat. He was wearing evening Attire which to Mona's practiced eye. spelled perfection.
Well, high life or whatever the clothes implied-was certainly be coming to Steve. Whatever had brought it about sat easily on his conscience, too. Never had ane scer him so sure of Himself," so worldly wise. If Steve had con- sorted with crooks. they must cer- tainly be gentlemen.
"I'll take you down to your of fice," Steve suggested after the first excitement of their meeting disappeared.
Moua climbed into the seat and Steve jumping in beside her. Ho started the car with a low, almost imperceptible purr.
"Where have you been, Steve?" she asked without parley as they threaded the elevated posts on Third avenue. "You weren't you weren't-"
"In jail?" He turned and re- garded her proille seriously. "No! And nothing like it, Min! You know-well, maybe I was mixed up in something but 1 fooled 'em".
"Fooled who? The cops?" "Harder than that, Min. I fool- ed the gang," He paused as if about to take her into his con- Adence, then abruptly decided otherwise,

"You mustn't worry about You've heard a lot of lies about me since I've been gone. Maybe some of 'em were true! Every-. thing I've got, Min, today is straight money. I've gone straight -did it before I really went crooked! Lot's of guya who are in on rackets would like to puli out but they' can't.. Maybe I couldn't but I did!

"Can't what? Get me?: they can get anyone, as far as that goes. Their bullets don't care who they bump off. But the "chances are they won't go after me.

"Just under the wire. Is right."| She smiled her thanks as he as- aisted her to the curb.
"Dine with me tonight, Min ?” She considered. "I'd love to Steve but this is my night to visit Dad. He's in the hospital now, you know."
Their eyes met. Steve drew in a sympathetle whistle.
"There may be hope". Min went on.
For a moment there was silence. Then Steve broke it briskly.,,Tell you what, Min. 1'll call for you and drive you to see your Dad,
for you later. You need cheering up. We'll see the town."
She considered this briefly. "That will be fine, Steve."
"Then let's talk about some-Then I'll take you home and call thing else." There was & pause and Mona noticed that the greet ing of the traffic policeman at the intersection at Third and the Bowery as they passed was warm and hearty. She saw admiration for Steve's car in the policeman'a face:
"It's a pretty car, all right," she ventured.
She watched him as he vaulted. oyer the low door and the car be- gan sliding from the curb.
"It's a date, Min! I'll be here. Five sharn."
