Also, if that were true, the good players would necessarily have to be dealt most of the good cards, because the better players are cautious and will. not bid for game when there is not a game In the hand.

Let me again repeat the ques- Pres. Pierce Apr. 1. tion-how do they win constant- ly? By being forever br the alert-ever ready, to trap their opponents with a heavy penalty double if they make the slightest. mistake, especially, when vulner- able.

The Bidding.

South's hand "contained foar quick tricks and a five-card rebid- dable suit; therefore, even though his aide is vulnerable, he is justi- fied in making an original bid of East and West are

che

heart: also vulnerable.

West finds himself with thre quick tricks, a biddable four-cagu suit and a weak five-card major: suit. As he can overéall with a one bid if he elects to name the major, he decides that there isfró grave danger and bids one spade. North

passes, as does East. South should be warned, as, his partner, has passed after South's original bid. West, who is vulner able, has put in an overcall.

It is true that South holds the ace and king of the suit that West bid, but this should be an addi-; tional warning that undoubtedly. West's high card strength lies in clubs and diamonds. South, how ever, re-bid his hearts, and West passed.

North has normal trump sp port, and he has # doubleton which has some value. Partner has elected to keep the bidding open vulnerabic, therefore North has a perfect right to feel that) his partner has considerable re- serve strength. North now bid' three. hearts. South did not make the second mistake of bid- ding four hearts, but passed.

The Play.

West's opening lead way the king of clubs followed by the ace, South trumping the second club with the deace of hearts. South could now see that it would be necessary to trump at least two more clubs..

He led the ace of hearts and then the nine of diamonds which West won with the aee. West led another club, which South trumped with the three of hearts.

"Another diamond was led and dummy's Len was won by Eust with the jack. East returned the queen of cluba.

Declarer trumped with the king of hearts and led the eight of din- monds, which East won with the king. East returned the queen of spades, which South won with the ace and then led the six of hearts, winning in dummy with the juck.

The queen of hearts picked up East's last trump and the declarer discarded his losing spade on this last trump.

Instead of attempting to ruff a spade carly in the play, which would have lost his contract, the declarer preserved his trump in dummy in order to be able to pick up the opponents' trump and dis- card his loser at the same. time.1
