I asked "Rosey" If he took time out to play bridge. He replied, " would play more, but you bridge players are so stuck up that you with his fellow play won't let a shoes off. I only have 10 angers. if I have to count un to 13 whet play bridge, the shoes have to come off."

When I asked "Rosey" how he would play the hand, he demurred, WUS the bridge expert. saying I "But," he warned, "If you lose more than a heart trick, you had better lake your shoes off."
The opening lend of the eight of hearts was won by West with the ace. West made a very good shift when he played the queen of spades. but declarer won this trick with the king and started to run the six club tricks. During the course of the play South took the heart finesse, and the, only trick that West made was the ace of hearts.
As he was leaving, "Rosey" said, "I know some Pittsburghers who diamond would have opened n against that contract. Do you think you could make six then?"
