CONTRACT DESPERATE STRUGGLE

Having too many high cards is A problem which soldom embar the average bridge player. However, In this duplicate hand the West player was in exactly that position. He was obliged to get out of tho Tend at the second or third trick, and although there were several ways of doing so, each ono' proved fatal to the interests of his alde.

The Play.

WITH ROBBER.

COURAGE OF YOUTH PROVES UNDOING OF GANG

The capture of an alleged gang of armed robbers following an un- successful attempt on a Wanchal. flat was, described to Mr. Schofield at the Central Magistracy yeater- day afternoon, when three of the men were charged.

On October 0, it was stated, an amah omplayed on an upper floor occupied by Li Po-yuon, concubine of a tradesman, had occasion to open the door opening on to the staircaso, and, as she did so, four men, who had apparently been wait- ing for that opportune moment, forced hor back and themselves entered the floor.

An.

A well-concerted plan appears to have been then put into operation, as the individual members of the gang separated, each going different part of the floor. other amah found in the kitchen was seized and terrorised, as was Tho LiPo-yuen, the concubine. leader of the gang attached him- self to a young man who la tho brother of the concubine and tho only other Inmate of the floor, but the Intended victim resisted and provod Buch n tough pro- position na to cause the pleto collapse of the enterprise. To avoid capture, which then Peared imminent through the com- motion raised, the other members of the gang forsook their leader and left him, still struggling with the young man, while they fled down the staircase.

The natural opening was the king of hearts, which held the first trick, but from that point on the defence varied considerably. Most West players continued with the queen of hearts, which was ruffed in dummy. Declarer then led a small diamond from dummy which East held with the eight. He returned a club, and declarer ruffed. The ace of spades was led, followed by the five of hearts on which West was obliged to play the nine,

Dummy ruffed, and returned diamond which declarer ruffed in his own hand. He led the seven of hearts and West was again forced to cover with the acc. When dummy ruffed with his last spade, the remaining cards in de- elarer's hand were good and he made the contract of five spades. doubled.

Other West players led the acc

of diamondds at the second trick, followed by another diamond. The ten

was played from dummy, overed by East's king, and de- cinrer ruffed. After drawing one round of trump, he was able to ruff three losing hearts in dummy and discard the last one on the established queen of diamonds,

which of course permitted him to make the contract of five spades doubled.

of

Probably the best defence for West is to shift to the king spaden after winning the first heart trick. However, declarer can still make his contract by leading diamonds at every oppor- tunity, and eventually establish- ing a winning diamond in dummy on which to discard a heart. If South pinys the hand correctly he can confine his losses to one heart and one diamond, thereby making five spades against any defence West can offer, despite his over- powering array of aces and kings.

Eventually, the leader suceeded in shaking off his adversary, but was pursued down the stairs into the street, and finally caught by a shop foki in a side street. investigators, taking up the case at this point, trailed two other mem- bere of the gang to a place of re- fuge in Lower Lancar Row. They were slumbering peacefully when trapped in a cubicle.

Polynesia declare that one result of the depression is that the natives generally have returned to the old fashioned toin-cloths, and bave abandoned trousers.

The authorities in the Islands are sternly resisting the im- migration of Europeans, and in other ways are attempting to cope with the effects of the depression. -Our Own Correspondent.

In outlining the police case, Del. Sub-Inspector Rozeskwy said that four meat and kitchen knives were found discarded on the floor and he disclosed the remarkable fact that those knives bore the mark of the Hongkong Hotell
