CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
The foolish player plays what While is termed "poker bridge." this may win one or two hands. It will surely lose in the long run. The more finished pinyer always figures the percentage of cliance on a particular play. If you are going to lose more than you can win, then the odds on the play must be greatly in your favor if you are to make that play. One percentage the most clover of plays that I have seen this year was played at New York by Mr. Charles II. Goren of Philadelphia.
The Bidding
Mr. Goren in the South opened the bidding with one diamond. West passed and North, his part- ner, responded with a one over one force, namely one heart.
In response to the one beart bid, Mr. Goren bid three clubs. This; showing of a second suit and a jump-shift bid is a mild slam try. West passed and North went to five clubs another Jumper hid Mr. showing extreme strength. Goren then bld five no trump.
These were all very powerful hids and indicated that both part- ners were endeavoring not only to rench a small slamn, but a grand responded with slam. North seven clubs,
Mr. Goren was playing in a match. At rubber duplicate bridge one could be satisfied to play the hand at seven clubs, as the difference between clubs and na trimp is only slight. But at duplicate bridge you must not only

The Play
on
West's opening lend was the jack of clubs. Against a geven bid, West would have been' foolish to open his fourth best spade, as undoubtedly it would be leading directly into a tenace position held by the declarer.
With the juck and one club, he cmtll lend the jack and not sacr- fice any card that might be in his boti partner's hand, although opponents have shown strength clubs.
It is not always the best proce- dure to attack against a seven bid with your longest and strongest suit, but is sometimes better to NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA.throw the lead to the declaror and
wait for developments. (private exchanges to all Depts.)
The club jack was won by Mr. He cashed Goren with the acc. his king of hearts and led the ten of clubs, overtaking in dumm with the king. Now he tried for the heart break by playing the ace and queen, but on the secon heart East showed out, discarding the deuce of diamonds.

A small club was then led, and won by Mr. Goren with the eight, East and West ench discarding a rnal apnde. Mr. Goren casled his noe, king and queen of dla monds and on the third diamond, Went discarded another spade.
Mr. Goren discarded two hearts and a small spade from dummy. Enst followed with three dla- mends but now had the diamond suit stopped,
Mr. Goren had a perfect count on the hand. With five spades in the West hand and three in the other, Mr. Garen reasoned that the chances were five to three that West held the king of spades, and therefore his finesae would. los but he saw that he had a squeeze on the West hand if this were true. He therefore played his nine of clubs, West was forced to discard a spade, the club was overtaken 1 dummy. The seven of clubs was led from dummy, the five of spades discarded by the declarer and West was helpless. He could not throw the jack of hearts or dum- my's ton would be good, so he let go hia ten of spades.
Mr. Goren's next lead was the jack of spades from dummy. Hu went up in his own hand with the aco of spades which caught West's king and he made his grand slam at no trump by winning the last trick with the queen of spades, A wall played hand for top score on the board.

Ralph Lynn is certainly Britain's Prize Aan and long may ho hold his title! He is as unique in his quaint mannerisms as he is in his sense of Jumour.
