BY WILLIAM E. McKENNEY

TODAY'S hand may not seem very ort exciting when put down paper, but I know from my own experience just how Mrs. W;-L. Byers Pa., fell when her partner jumped to six spades. The hand wns sent to me by Mrs, Byers' part- ner, Harry O. Shockey, secretary of the Fayette County Bridge Club, Uniontown, Pa.

Mr. Shockey directs tournaments at the Titlow 1otel in

the Monongahela and Brownsville. This hand came up of Brownsville.

Shockey debated a long time as to whether to open the bidding with two diamonds or one diamond, and finally decided to stick to the old rule not to use a two-bid in a minor ruit with more than two losers. When his partner in the East bid a spade, he felt there was no way to tell her what type of hand he had, so he simply jumped to six spades.

After South's opening lend of the went Jack of hearts the dummy down and Mrs. Byers felt better. She won the trick with the king of hearts, and as she had to drop, the Cueen of spades doubleton, she cashed the ace and king of spades. When the queen dropped there was no problem to make six.

She discarded the ten of diamonds on dummy's good heart and, de- elding that North must have the ace of diamonds to justify his double, she led the king of diamonds from dummy. When North failed to cover she discarded a club. Thus she made her contract redoubled, with An overtrick.
