CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

conTM

I am wondering if my readers give sufficient thought and sideration to the "timing factor." We know that the timing factor playa an important part in football, baseball and tennis, and it ́ plays just as important a part in bridge,

A hand which explains this tim ing factor in a sample manner is given below. In addition to the timing factor element, the hand is also Interesting from a bidding angle.

The Bidding

The hand was played in the re- cent national championship tour- nament at Asbury Park, N.J. The majority of East and West play- ers secured the contract for game in hearts. However, the bidding, at one table was rather interesting and was as follows:

South and West passed. North made a weak third bid of one club, East overcalled with one heart. South bid one spada and West jumped to three hearts,

North had made an original psychic opening bid and decided, as he was not vulnerable, to carry his paychic through. He jumped the contract to four spades. East

were

felt that North and South trying to deprive him of a game, so went to five hearts, which South doubled.

The Play

It was South's opening lead, and when a contract is being played at five or six, we know that the open- ing lead determines the success or failure of the contract.

Let us take the suits in turn -South had bid spades and this sult had been supported by North. However, in spite of the space bid, Eaat had gone to five hearts, there- fore the spades should be a bad lead.

Naturally South could not open hearts. To open diamonds looked as though he were sacrificing al trick, therefore South should ren- Hon is follows:

His partner may hold the ace of clubs and the nce of spades. How- ever, supposing that he does hold the ace of spades and only the queen and ten of clubs-then If a spado is opened his partner's aco will be knocked out and the de clarer will probably make his con- tract, while if a club is opened, ho éan establish a club trick, get In with the king of hearts and then lead a spade which will put his partner fn with the ace,

Of course when he does lend a club, he finds a more fortunate situation-hls partner holds the ace of clubs which is immediately cashed, whilo South makes the king of clubs and the king · ́of} hearts, defenting the contract.
