SHORT time ago I wrote up a
hand played by Mrs Gertrude Jobes and Mrs Augusta Cantor of New York City. They had just won their first major victory, the Eastern States mixed team-of-four champion-- ship. Just recently they won the Adirondack women's pair champion- ship, also the special pair event of the tournament in N.
They gave me today's hand, on which they won top score in the tournament. The bidding is worth a comment or two. Many players would open the South hand with two-bld. Mrs Contar preferred the one-bild because, holding a singleton spade and diamond, she was cure there would be further bidding. She did not want to invite the opponents to take a sacrilee against a possible slam contract.
West tried to
shut out furthe bidding
with his
three Jump to spades. Mrs Jobes (North) thought that le double of three spades would be profitable, as she had no Idea of her puriner's freak dis tribution.
