Freak Hand Always Difficult to Handle
BY WILLIAM E. McKENNEY
TODAY'S hand was played by Mrs John S. Hermistone of Charleroi. Pa. She held the West cards, an the bidding shown is exactly the way occurred.

Mrs Hermistone sald that it might have been sufer to overcull with two
four. diamonds rather than believe that since South had bid n spade and she held live of them, there was no need for her to try to shut out further bidding on the part of South. Also, she was vold In hearts and. clubs, -and If the opponents bil either of those sufts, Mrs Hermistone's partner probably would be well fortified against them.

of freakish pattern, and she had no certainty that she could de- feat four spades. It she had not doubled, the opponents undoubtedly would have played the contract at fuur spades.
After her double and North's re- double, East was confronted with a very dificult problem, with eight hearts and five clubs. I am quite sure that half of the experts might take it out in tive diamonds, ns this East player did.
South double five Now, when diamonds, Mrs Hermistone certainly should not have redoubled. Had she not done so, she and her partner. would have lost no more than they would the opponents had made the redoubled spade contrael.
It was a disastrous hand for Enst and West, as the opponents cashed Ave spade tricits and two diamond tricks.
Freak lands are dificult to handle as well as to analyse, In such cases Lone can only nak, "What did you do with it?," rather than "What was the right thing to do?"

REMEMBRANCE DAY
Remembrance Day is dedicated to those in the Services who fought so gallantly and endured so much between 1914/18 and 1939/45. It is also an Occasion when.

It is now more necessary than ever before to secure your gene- rous support for Earl Halg's Fund for the Disabled of the two World Ware. Their head la great, and the Committee of the. British Legion feel that you would wish to be prominently identified in the andes- vour to altovlate the distress of so noble a band of physical sufferers.
