CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Previous

Contract Problem

While I believe that, in tour- nament play, it is wrong to bid.a doubtful grand slam when you have a sure small alam, you do have to learn all the tricks even in bidding n small slim.

Today's is one of the interesting hands that helped Mrs. G. A. H. Gardner and Mrs. A. C. Hoffmlor of Cleveland win the Canadian American pair championship at Niagara Falls, N. Y., recently over a: strong field representing both countries..

In this hand we find that the de claror did not receive a favourable opening, which would have been n spade. She also lost the diamond finesse, but still made her contract, by employing the squeeze,

The Bidding.

In the bidding, wo find North and South each mentioning a three-

Itinerary from Hong Kong-March 21st for Shanghai, Chinwangtao card suit. South bid three spades

to make a constructive bid over

her partner's three hearts.

If she jumped to five

hearts,

North might simply gamble and go to six hearts, so she took the slower and surer method, making a con- structive bid of three 'spadea,

North's bid of four diamonds was purely a slam try, and with the information that North held some- thing in diamonds, South" immedi- ately went to six hearts.

The Play

West opened, the four of dia- monds and the declarer took the finesse. East won the trick with the king and then shifted to the deuce of spades, which the declarer won with the king. The declarer- next played the ace and queen of hearts, West dlacarding a small dia- mond on the second heart.

Today's Contract Problem

West han the contract for four spades.. Họ lòng thọ arat two heart tricks and must joso trump trick. How should the diamond suit bo played to make the contract?
