CONTRACT

David Bruce Burnstone, Merwin D. Maier, Oswald Jacoby, Howard Schen- ken.

World's leading Team-of-Four, Inventors of the system that has beaten every other system in existence.

DIFFICULT DEFENCE

In to-day's hand South was un- doubtedly the star. East made things as difficult as possible for his vulner- able opponents by his jump raise to five diamonds. While South might well have doubled this bid, he pre- ferred to leave the decision to his partner. Unwilling to be shut out, North boldly bid five hearts. Now South made the really brilliant bid of six chibs. He reasoned, first, that North would hold no more than one diamond; second, that his own solid club suit would be safer than hearts, even though he held four.
