CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney,

I have often noticed that many players, when they are the declarer, make the mistake of cashing their good tricks immediately. That is vory often the ruination of a hand.

While at times there is no question that such a play must be employed, especially when you wish to scoure knowledge from your opponents by their discarda, still, there are times when those cards can be used for ontries in either land and thoroby nasiat you in making your contract. Takd for example the following
