| Reservď Liability of Proprietors At, auction bridge sacrifice bid-term Fund ding played an important part.
Some players still think that . AOENCIES And Brancusi sacrifled bidding has a place in con-ALOA STAR ILOILO Itract. I do not think so.
CANTON
It is all right if you can figure BATAVIA out a safe sacrifice, but you ask BOMBAY any money contract player and he CALCUTTA will tell you that, when the oppo- CAWNPORE nents are getting the tickets, you czau had better let them have their cornung game and not try to sacrifice. DELUI They probably will win the game HAIPHONG and all the thanks you get for your {HAMBURG Sacrifice bidding is to lose an extra BANKOW large rubber.

Six clubs can be made straight cross-ruff. With a spade opening East wins with the king, and returns the six of clubs, which Is won in dummy with the eight spot. The ace of diamonds in play- ed and a small damond returned and ruffed.
A small heart is played and won with the king, a diamond ruffed with the ace of clubs, the queen of clubs cashed, a spade ruffed, the jack of clubs picked up by the king of clubs and the diamonds are all good.
