CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
'A hand usually contains only one
good lesson, but the following hend
contains four-one in bidding and three in the play of the hand.
The Bidding
South, the dealer, bid one club, West overcalled with one, heart, North bid two diamonds and South bid two spades. West bid three hearts, and North bid three spades.
Some South players now went to four spades. However, the bet- ter bid is four diamonds. This gives North the choice of going to four spades or five diamonds. If he goes to four spades the hand should be passed, while if he goes to five diamonds, South Is Justi- fled in bidding for the small slam in diamonds.
The Play
In playing the hand at diamonds, the declarer should establish the Ofth club upon which to discard his Ave of spades, thereby avoiding the necesalty of guessing the spade finesse.
At several tables South was the declarer at four spades. When West opens the ace of hearts and continues with a heart, South must refuse to ruff the second heart be- cause he holds ofly four spades and one of the opponents may also hold four.
To ruff would certainly lose the contract. By refusing to ruff the second heart all that the declarer need do is to lose n spade, and his contract is made.

diamond was opened and South won with the king. The natural play to most people is to try to ruff one of the losing clubs, but this play is wrong,
You have a singleton heart, therefore you can expect to find uneven distribution in the other two hands. The lead of a diamond certainly looks like a singleton. If you ruff the third club and it in overruffed by East, Enst will lent a diamond which will be ruffed by West. Then another club will be returned which will cause you to lose an extra spade trick.
