The Bidding
While North has three spades to
the king, he has a better no trump IN
response than that of two spades. Since four-card sults play an im- portant part in bidding at contract, It does not generally pay to sup-
A port your partner's suit with only three trumps, even though they are three to the king, on the first round, if you can find a better de. claration. However, when Mrs. Scranton in the South goes to two spades, North takes the strain off the hand by going to four.

Today's Contract Problem
Scranton's problem was whether to fall she had to lose was the queen take the heart finesse. She felt of hearts. that West had four clubs when he oponed with the deuce; therefore, East must have the singleton ace.
If she took a heart finesse and it falled, a club would be returned and ruffed and her contract would be defeated. Then, the heart finesse having falled, she probably would have taken the spade finesse to pick up the queen, and also would have lost.
that
Mrs. Serantan knew that she had no club loser and decided that she would not risk losing more than one heart and ono spade, so she went right up with the ace of hearts and then led a small spade, winning in dummy with the king. A врайс was roturned and again who re- fused to take the finesse, going right up with the ace of spades which dropped West's queen.
Now the jack of trump was led; which picked up East's last trump. The king of clubs was cashed. East showed out, so Mrs. Scranton went right through West's jack, and now
