A PROBLEM IN PLAY

We are wondering if our readers, playing the South hand, would make a small slam in hearts. Naturally you are fortunate enough not to receive a diamond opening, which would set the hand immediately. We will give one slight hint. After the opening lead, which happened to be a spade, the contract could not be defeated if pro- perly played.

ALTHOUGH Saturday's Lawn Bowls League did not provide any big sur- *prises, there were Lawn Bowls several close games and no less than four games resulted in one-shot wins. Recreio "A" were fully extended by Civil Service, who won on two rinks, but McCowan went down badly to C. G. Silva by 15 shots.

Indian Recreation Club secured their first win of the season in First Division when they beat Hong Kong Football Club by 22 shots, Dallah ob- taining a 13-shot win over K. S. Ro- bertson.

In Second Division Recreio sustained their first defeat of the season at the hands of Taikoo, runners-up last year, by one shot, while Kowloon Saturday you were Howard Schen- Tong, thanks to Stephens' rink, secured ken's partner and held:

ANSWER: Your correct bid is four spades. Although this four diamond' bid must be read as a mild slam in vitation, your diamond sult is too weak for you to accept.

Score four spades 100%, four hearts 40% (might conceivably be inter- preted as showing three hearts), five diamonds 20% (a poor bid).

West happened to open the ten of spades which was won by dummy's Ace. South drew three rounds of trumps and East frantically signalled with the ten of diamonds. While it partner and you hold: looked as though the contract depend- ed upon a spade
