CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W: E. McKenney Solution to Previous Contract Problem

In rubber bridge we were satis fled generally with just making our contract, but in duplicato or tourna mont bridge not only must you arrive at the proper declaration in the bidding, but you must play the hand for the maximum gumber of tricks to get top score. →

FREIGHT AND

To be satisfled with making Just four, because that is all you bid, quite easily may give you bottom score on a board in du- plicate... So even though you are playing only sociable bridge at home, I certainly would suggest that you play every hand for the maximum number of tricks. Care. ful play will prove valuable on the difficult hands when an extra LONDON trick is needed for the contract.

I received to-day's interesting hand from the open pair cham- pionship tournament of the To- ronton Whist Club, recently hold in Toronto. I had hoped to attend the tournament, but had to be satisfied just to road about it This hand was played by W. Howard Woolworth, of Niagara Falls, N., Y. "

South's hand is not strong enough for an original forcing bid. While West has Ave hearts to the queen Jack, his side is vulnerable and he cannot risk a dangerous overcall.

North's bid of two clubs can bo treated more or less as a chanco- giving bid. Now, when South went to three spades. North was justified in going to four.

Of course, the hand is a spread for four odd. However, Mr. Wool-having arrived from the above ports, worth made five by winning the opening queen of hearts lead with the king in his own hand and then cashing the ace and king of clubs, He next played a small heart and won with dummy's ace.

He returned the ten of clubs,

which he ruffed with the eight of spades, not fearing an overrull, since all it would do would be to knock out the queen. Ho next led the ace of spades and then played the jack of spades.

West won with the queen, which set up the ten of spades as an entry card in dummy, so that two losing diamonds could be discarded on dummy's two good clubs, and five

odd were made.

Today's Contract Problem

West has the contract for four spades. South-has bid hoarts and North opens tho Zon of hearts. It looks as though West can got a squeezo on South, to make his con- tract How can. North and South defeat the squenzo? G3
