BY WILLIAM E. McKENNEY
MANY people ask me if they
have to train to become on expert before entering tourna- ment bridge competition. They most certainly do not. Among the ranks of tournament players there are some who spend a. great deal of their lives playing all bridge, but there also ure
and types of business
pro- fessional people who, find re- laxation in tournament bridge.
Julius For
Mra example,
Of lot Daub. who plays tournament bridge in New York City, successfully operates her been Bad has own busintesi,
successful in tournament com- petition as well.
Today's handl,
which WILE
played by Mr Daub, is one of the prettiest that I havo seen in a long time. Actually I think it is an unuminl type of smother play. She won the opening lead of the three of dimmands with the queen, cashed the ace und king of clubs and
ruffed tho
deuce of diamonds in dummy. Next she led the nine of clubs and ruffed it, then tried the henri finesse, which lost to the king.
A heart back East played and Mrs Doub won it in her ten-spol. own hand with the Then the cashed the
king of throwing diamonds,
away dummy's good queen of hearts. Her next umusual play was to lead the ace of diamonds and trump it in dummy. Now me cashed the ace of hearts, and when everybody followed, she led
the Jack of clubs dummy.
fron.
At this point East was down to his three trumps, and West had a club and two trumps. Mrs Daub was left with three trumps. East trumped the jack of clubs with the six of spades, declarer overtrumped with die ten, and her ace and king of spades picked up the remaining trumps.
If East had trumped the club with the jack of spades, Mrs Daub would have overtrumped -with-the-ace--and then...would have been able to finesse West out
of the queen of spades. Actually, therefore, she smother- ed her opponents out of a good trump trick.
