THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY,

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

New Jersey may be considered one of our smaller states, but it in one of the most important in the world of bridge. It is at Asbury Park, N.J., that the annual untion. al summer tournament of the American Bridge League is held, and It is at this tournament that the great National Masters' P'nir contest is played.

Only those who have won a na- tional championship are eligible to

event. participate in this

Deal. N.J.. this year is the home of the president of the American Bridge League and at Deal annually the 26 selected players of the United States participate in the National Individual Misters' championship jevent.

Dent is also the home of the ac knowledged world's greatest card player and captain of the famous Four Horsemen, P. Hal Sims, who has won more national champion- ships than any other player in the world.

As matter of record, there are few national cups which do not have the name of Mr. Sims engraved upon them.

home of While visiting at the Mr. Sims recently, the writer re- ceived from him the following un- Josual interesting hand.

South (Denler)

Spades A KQ 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Hearts A K

Diamonds None

Clebs A

While the chances are only one

in several million of your being dealt such a band, let us assume What that you are the lucky one, would be your opening bid?

We see at once that there is a sure cold grand slam at spades. 1 kady many players will answer, "Well, I would bid two diamonds and try to get doubled spades."

at seven

However, Mr. Sims had a definite! bid for this hand when it was dealt to him at a duplicate game at Deal wently. He is the creator of the original three forcing hid used in the one-over-one system of contract. Let me explain this bid to you.

An original three bid is forcing bid just the same as an original forcing two bid. However, in the original three bids, you definitely state that you have one solid suit, that you need no trump support from partner, that you do not have over two or three losing cards, and that all you are interested in Is whether partner holds certain ligh eards-that is, aces or kings.

When you open with a three bid your partner, if he holds an ace, must respond with that suit. If he holds two nees, he must respond first with the nce of trump and then, if the original bidder replies with no trump, he should next abow his second ace.

For example, supposing you were to open with a bid of three hearts and partner held the nee of spades and the ace of diamonds. His would be three proper response

1 Ispades-even though it were

singleton ace of spades.

Now if the original bidder bfd three ne trump then the partner must respond with four diamonds, regardless of the diamond strength as long as he holds an sce.

+

Therefore, when this hand was dealt, Mr. Sims was not interested in simply playing the hand for a grand slam at spades. He แห่ ก opportunity to play the hand at no trump if his partner held the ace of diamonds, so his original bill was three spades.

This forced partner to respond with any suit in which he holds an ace. Now if his partner were to respond with three no trump, Mr. Sims, of course, would play the hand at seven spades.

no

However, if partner held the ace of diamonds he would responed with four diamonds, and this is all the information Mr. Sims needs to ar- rive at a contract of seven trump.

While the hand presents no play- fing problem. I believe it presents one of the most unusual and later- of the esting bidding problems

DEATH OF OLD

RESIDENT ··

DR. M. O'BREMSKI.

It is with great regret that we have to record the death, which occurred at the Kowloon Hospital at noon yesterday, of Dr. Marian O'Bromski, a very old resident of the Calony and until Intely chlof chemist of the Taikoo Sugar Re- finery.

A native of Poland, deceased, who was 70 years of age, had been in il-health for a long time, and his demise was not entirely unex pected to his intimate friends. In fact his life was despaired of several months ago, but he made a good recovery and was almost his usual self again when he suf

cul- fered a relapse in March, minating in his death yesterday. Dr. O'Bremski arrived in the Colony in 1988 to join the Taikoo Sugar Refinery, with which firm he was connected until the end of 1931, when he retired. Since house In then he bought a Ngaushiwan, where he led a quiet life.

O'Bremski

The late Dr. very devoted to his work, and it would be said of him that his work was his hobby. During his 43 Re- years of service with the finery, he had been only once on as far a holiday, and that was back as 1901. He had kept him- self abreast of the latest scientific

through discoveries

extensive reading in several languages, of which he knew some half dozen.

Descended from Janded pro- prietors of Russian Poland, he was a mon of sterling character and was kind and generous to a falt. He retained all the old- world ideals of courtesy, chivalry and gentlemanliness. Tolerant in the highest degree, a favourite sny- Ing of his was, "I am Catholic be cause my mother was Catholic, but all religion is good." It is a tribute to bis character that a friend, in describing him, once said. "A menn aution he could not contemplate, let alone put into execution."

Although deceased had been in Hongkong for 45 years, he was not a member of any club except the Rotary, which he joined im- mediately on its inception in the Colony.

Te leaves a brother and sister and much sympathy in Polund will be extended to them in their bereavement. He was unmarried. The funeral will pass the monu- ment at 5p.m. to-day.
