BY WILLIAM E. McKENNEY
on the first time since 1929, the -summer-session-of-the-national championships tournament of the American Contract Bridge' League was held in Chicago, BI.
William McGhee of Chicago was appointed chairman of the tourna- ment.
He and Joseph J. Stedem, Contract president of the Chicago Bridge Association, said advance entries indicated that every would break nn attendance record. most of the titles would be won by The Chicago players predicted that
midwesterners.
cvenl
Certainly the midwest players would more than hold their own. recall the hand shown today. which
played in a rubber bridge game at the Chleago Athletic Club on my last trip to that city.
WIN
The opening lead of the king of clubs was won in dummy and de- clarer took inventory. He saw that he could afford to lose one diamond triek and
two heart tricks. The average player might cash the nce of hearts and then go back over to dummy and take a heart finesse. When this lost. he would be ruffed down in clubs. When he gave up a diamond trick he would be ruled again and the contract de- feated.
However, South followed the cor- reet technique. He enshed the bee and king of hearts, and the ace and king of diamonds, then he gave up a diamond. West won and led the queen of clubs, ruing declarer down. But then all South had to do was to continue to lead djumonds and let West make his two trumps. Thus he held his losses to two trumps and a diamond.
