CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Do you know, I believe it is less difficult to find good hands' whilo here in my sickroom than while scouting around, all over the country, to various tournaments? Exports throughout the country, knowing that I have been laid up, havo been sending me hands so that my daily article can carry on.

To-day I received an interesting bridge book from and by that well- known expert, Willard Karn. It is a new type of book, being in loose- leaf form, and the author is going to keep it up-to-date, with supple- ments every three months. it is well written and contains many interesting hands.

For example, it has the famous hand played by that great master, Waldemar von Zedtwitz.

The bidding is according to Mr. Karn's book.

The Play

West's opening lead was the nino of spades, which Mr. von Zedtwitz, declarer in the South, won with the ace. He realized that West's double must be based entirely on the king, queen, and x of hearts, as North and South had every other nce, king, and queen.

He realized that his only hope of making the hand was to strip West of spades, diamonds, and clubs. This he proceeded to do, even to ruffing' good. cards of both suite.

South finally bore his hand down to the ace, jack, and ten of hearts, while dummy was down to the nine, eight, and seven of hearts. A small heart was led, which West was forced to win with the queen. West now had- to lead away from his king and the deuce of hearts Thus into declarer's ace and ten. the small slam contract was made.

Today's Contract Problem

How should North and Bouth bid this hand to arrive at a contract of aix clube? And then, with a heart open- ing, how should the declarer play the hand to makė (t?'
