CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Previona

Contract Problem

Whilo I believe that, in tour- nament play, it is wrong to bid a doubtful grand slam when you have ja suro small slam, you do have to learn all the tricks.even in bidding aamall slam.

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

In this band we find that the de- clarer did not receive a favourable | opening, which would have been à spado. 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- card sult. South bid three spades

to make a constructive bid over her partner's three hearts.

If she jumped to live 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 spades. .

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

West opened the four of din 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
