the first trick, South would have im- mediately knocked out his King of spades. Then after winning the second heart lead, Declarer would have play- ed another spade and Mr. Maler would have been humiliated to find that he held three small hearts, whereas his partner held the two top hearts.

As the hand was played, West won the third round of hearts and Mr. Maler was then able to overtake the fourth heart with his Queen and cash the fifth heart for the setting trick.

ANSWER: You should pass.

Score 100% for pass, 40% for three notrump, 20% for three spades (if you must bid again, three notrump is bet- ter than three spades, since after all, your Queen of diamonds may repre- sent an extra stopper in the unbid suit).

If one were asked what was the worst Bridge crime, the answer might well be to finesse against one's part- ner when playing on HIGH CARD VALUES defence. And now we FOUR-ACED EVETEM must confess that our very much dislike dropping our part- teammate, Merwin, ner at two notrump, but in this case Malar, committed this both your opening bid and your show- heinous crime, But, ing of the second sult have been doubt- strangely enough, at ful: Unless your partner has made a the conclusion of the marked underbid, you have no game. hand he was congra- tulated by his partner, for he had actually made the only winning play. :

What occurred was this: West opened the seven of hearts: South played the deuce from dummy. By means of the Rule of Eleven, Mr. Maier could count that South had two cards higher than the seven. Considering South's open ing bid of three notrump, which un- doubtedly showed a tremendous hand, it seemed more than la would hold both the Abe # especially as Mr. Maler hin the two top, spades. Fur£30) he were to play the Queen;-MFC- would be left with the four smallest | hearts, and thus would be unable to cash the Afth card of the suit......
