CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Provious Contract Problem

4

It is interesting to note that the Auction Bridge Club of Chicago presonted the American Bridge League with the national team- of-four championship trophy play ed for annually at national tournn- monte. And then-to show that It really had a reason for donating the trophy-it, proceeded to win the cup.

This same club is sending a i team-of-four for the first time to compete in the Vanderbilt, cup tournament in New York City, and to-day I am pleased to present.to you the second member of the team, Dan M, Smith, who sat in the South position in the hand I shall describe, and who found the correct play to make six-odd at spades.

To-day's hand again brings out the fact that it does not always pay to rum losing cards. West's opening lead was the king of dia- monda, which South won with the ace. The ace of spades was play- ed to learn the distribution of the spade suit, declarer playing the five (not the three) from dummy. Bast showed out on the first round, discarding, a club..

Now, if the declarer attempted lo ruff out his two losing dia- mends, his contract would have been defented. His proper play was to return a small spade, and when Went played the seven, the eight in dummy took the trick.

A small club then was played, declarer winning with the ace, and. before leading another trump, his proper phy was the five of clubs.

West trumped, and the small club was played from dummy. West returned the queen of hearts, which waa- won-by-the-aco-and- declarer led the ten of spades from dummy, overtaking with the king in his own hand. He thou led a small diamond, trumping with the queen in dummy, and | played out the king and queen of clubs. South discarded two hearts and West was forced to drop a heart and a diamond.

Today's Contract Problem

South's contract is als apudes, The maven of hearts is opened. Haw can declarer make his rou-| jtract against the best porrible.
