{Mukdew Pacific Coast championship, con-Hambur ducted by the American Bridge League, finals being held in Losonolulu Angeles. Interest in tournament Hongkong bridge is increasing tremendously throughout all the far western states to such
Tom extent that Stoddard, the league's Pacific Coast director, informs me that at least six or eight players will travel from the coast to Asbury Park this summer to participate in the National Masters' Pair event.
The Play
In today's hand, East is con- fronted with quite a problem on the opening lead. South has bid spades. To open a spade might give the declarer a free finesse.
The queen' and small is gencral- ly not a good short lend. However, in this case it would have worked out very well, but when this hand was played, East opened his fourth best diamond-the five spot.

The tricky play in this hand is to win the first trick with the nee of diamonds, hoping that East has led from the king and that he will mark West with the queen.
The declarer's next play should be the eight of diamonda. Now! East, thinking that West has the queen, because of the play made by North, will play low and the dummy's ten spot will hold the trick, thereby giving declarer the opportunity to discard two of his losing cards on the ace and king of spades.
