CONTRACT BRIDGE.
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contraet Problem
When the first trick can be won in either hand, don't become care- loss and think that it makes no difference simply because you have entries In both hands. You may have a finesse to take and, if it fails, the other opponent may afart a new suit, which might spoil
defeat for your contract.
