CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

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

This samo club is sonding a team-of-four for the first time to compete in the Vanderbilt cup tournament in Now York City, and to-day I am pleased to present to you the second momber 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'a hand again brings out the fact that it does not always pay to ruff losing cards. West's opening lead was the king of dia- monds, which South won with the ace. The ace of spades was play- ed to learn the distribution of the spado suit, declarer playing the fivo (not the three) from dummy. East showed out" on the first round, discarding a club..

Now, if the declarer attempted to ruff out his two losing din monda, his contract would have been defented. His proper play was to return small spade, and when West 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 play was the five of clubs.

West trumped, and the small club was played-from-dummy. West returned the queen of hearts, which was won by the ace, and declarer led the ton of spades from dummy, overtaking with the king in his own hand. He then ted 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 six spades, The seven of hearia is opened. How can declarer mako his con- tract against the best possible] defense?
