CONTRACT

By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
In rubber bridge we were natis. fled generally with just making our contract, but in duplicate or tourna- mont bridge not only must you arrive at the proper declaration In the bidding, but you must play the hand for the maximum number of tricks to get top score.
To be satisfied with making just four, because that is all you bid, quito qually may give you. bottom score on a board in "du- plicate, 8o even though you are playing only sociable bridre - at home, I certainly would suggest that you play every hand for the maximum number of tricks. Oare- ful play will prove valuable on

PAES
I received to-day's interesting band from the open pair cham- pionship tournament of the To- ronton Whist Club, recently held in Toronto. I had hoped to attend" the tournament, but had to be satisfied just to read about it This hand was played by W. Howard Woolworth, of Niagara Falls, N. Y.
South's hand is not strong enough for an original forcing bid. While West has five hearts to the queen jack, his sido la vulnerable and he cannot risk a dangerous overcall.
North's bid of two clubs can be trented more or less as a chance- giving bid. Now, when South went to three spades, North was justified in going to four.
Of course, the hand is a spread for four odd. However, Mr. Wool worth made five by winning the opening queen of hearts lead with the king in his own hand and then cashing the aco and king of clubs, He next played a small heart and won with dummy's ace.
