CONTRACT POLICE OFFICER

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

The man who said, "There is nothing new under the sun," had evidently never played bridge. There is scarcely a session of play that does not develop some new angle of offence or defence. To day's hand, contains a defensive play which is probably just a little different from any before record cd.

South and West passed. North had two and one-half high cards which should usually be shown in third position so he bid one heart. East bid one spade and South two clubs. West bid two spades. West | had adequate support for a double, raisc in spades but first wished to learn whether his partner's spade bid was merely a minimum over- call. North bid three clubs and when East rebid his spades, West had no further hesitation about carrying the contract to game.

The Play.

The four-spade contract was made in nearly every case due to the fact that South opened his singleton heart, or else shifted to A heart after a round or two of clubs. The only pair to defend the hand successfully Messrs. A. P. Stockvis and Thur- were

the outstanding net of heroism of his career was a fight he had with an armed madman who had run amok. Not only did Inspector Fallon tackle the desperate char- acter but he managed to disarm him and thus prevent further bloodshed. Inspector Fallon and tvo other European officers, among others had been badly cut by the amok before he was over- powered.

North was now positively mark- ed with the queen of clubs, so the

South's most natural lead would be the singleton heart in response to the heart bid. However, Mr. Thurtell's piny had been most un- natural. If he wanted a heart lead he could very easily have played the three of clubs to the first trick, and the heart woull have been led at once. Therefore he must want something else.

This permitted Mr.Thurtell to cash his ace and queen of diamonds before decfurer could get any discards on the good hearts in West's hand, and the contract was defeated one trick.
