CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Many players, upon picking up the South hand in to-day's game, immediately would become dis couraged with their poor cards. But a hand of this pattern is not a discouraging type."

While it is lacking in high cards, It does have exceptionally good dis tribution-Ova cards in each major. And if you can find a.fit in your partner'e hand, it isn't going to Lako a lot to make game. ...

Of course, the South player is fortunato in catching hils partner with five high card tricks, and oven then he has to play the hand care- fully to make his contract.

The Bidding.

While West has a five-card sult, the hand is not strong enough to make a second hand bid and ho properly passes. Over North's dia- mond bid, South properly shows the higher ranking of his two suits of equal length.

When North bids two clubs over South's bid of one spade, this is a constructive bld and also confirms the fact that the diamond bid was constructive. He now really la showing a second sultand with good strength, South shows his Becond suit and North takes the strain of the hand by jumping to

four.

The Play

Weat's opening lead was the jack of clubs, won in dummy with the ace. The spado was returned, West winning with the ten and return- ing the ten af clubs, won in dummy with the king.

The six of clubs was returned from dummy, South trumping with the deuce of hearts. A small spade then was ruffed with the nine of hearts.

A small club was returned, South trumping with the three of hearts and West overtrumping with the five of hearts.

West returned a diamond, which Was won in dummy with the ace. The ace of hearts in dummy was cashed, West's king dropping. Tho king and queen of diamonds then were cashed and two losing spades discarded.

Another diamond was returned, South trumping with the eight of hearts and then leading the jack of spades, which was trumped in dummy with the ten of hearts.

East, of course, overtrumped with the jack and South won the last trick with the queen of hearts.

Today's Contract Problem Bouth has the contract for four apaden, West opens the eight ot diamonds, How should doclarer play the hand to make game?
