Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KINNEY Secretary American Bridge League THE following hand presents one of the most unusual and interesting defensive problems that it has been my pleasure to see for quite some time. I think it one of the greatest bridge hands I ever have seen.

* 8-6 V 7-4 ♦ K-Q-10-9-8-2 •fcA-Q-10 *7-5-2 [NORTH] *A-9-4 VK-Q-J- H 5 V 9 10-5-2 2 co ♦ A-J-6 ♦ 7-3 5 H *K-J-9-*5-4 Dealer 8-7-3 SOUTH AK-Q-J-10-3 VA-8-6-3 ♦ 5-4 w *6-2 ™

When the hand was played, South became the declarer, with a fourspade contract which was doubled by East. Look the hand over carefully. West naturally opened with the king of hearts, which South won with the ace. Now can you see any way that East and West can stop the declarer from making his contract of four odd? South won the first trick with the ace of hearts and then led the king of spades, which East refused to win. South continued with the queen of spades, which East won with the ace. I presume that you will say that East's natural lead is a trump, but that will not defeat the contract. Before proceeding with his next play, East reasoned first that his partner did not have a possible reentry, and second, that declarer, as soon as he pulled the trump, im-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LODGE LOTTERY ACTION HERE IS HELDJNLIKELY Jeffrey Says He Has No Orders to Prosecute Fraternal Groups. Statement today of George R. Jeffrey, United States district attorney, indicated there will be no action locally as a result of alleged lotteries in which the Shriners, Loyal Order of Moose and Fraternal Orders of Eagles participated, resulting Thursday in indictment of some national leaders of the Moose and Eagles. Jeffrey said as yet he has not received any instructions to proceed locally in the cases. Drawings in the Shrine affair were to have been held, according to reports, during the national convention at San Francisco early this summer. This was halted after high officials of the order in New York had been warned that the project was risky. In addition to chances on money and merchandise, it is understood the Shriner tickets bore stubs which admitted holders to a dance here, apparently a plan which was carried out by other temples participating. Profits from the venture were donated to charity, it is understood. Local ticket buyers said they had received no return of money, although it was reported refunds would be given. Another development today was a statement by Henry L. Stevens Jr., national commander of the American Legion, that it is not sponsoring a proposed international bridge tournament as a means of raising funds to pay indebtedness against Pershing hall, Paris, France, a reputed million-dollar structure which is a memorial to General John J. Pershing. “Although the building in itself is a most worthwhile monument,” Stevens stated, “the international bridge tournament is being run not by the legion, but by the officials of Pershing hall in the hope they may realize sufficient revenue to pay off the present deficit.”

WIFE IS LEFT ‘PARKED’ Texas Woman Is Found at Willard by Cops, Who Seek Mate. Mrs. Alice Foster, 22, Dallas, Tex., alleging she was deserted in Willard park by her husband, Charles, who said he was going to call on his mother in an effort to obtain money, was given lodging by police, who are seeking Foster. According to the wife, the couple arrived in Indianapolis three days ago, and had been staying at the park. The husband, she says, left eight hours before she was found by police Sunday. Foster did not know the address of his mother, his wife told police. 500 at Sunnyside’s Party Tenth annual home-coming at the Marion county tuberculosis hospital at Sunnyside Sunday was attended by more than five hundred former patients and employes of the institution. Carl Wilde, Indianapolis attorney, spoke.

mediately would set the diamonds upon which to discard his losing hearts. East’s problem was to kill the dummy before the diamonds could be set, so he boldly returned a club right into dummy’s ace-queen-ten. Dummy won the trick with the ten. The king of diamonds was returned from dummy, East winning with the ace and never hesitated, but immediately returned another club into dummy’s ace queen. Declarer won the trick in dummy with the queen of clubs. The queen of diamonds in dummy was cashed, and now you can see that East has the diamond suit stopped and can kill the dummy on the next lead. It*looks as if all that the declarer can do is to lead his ace of clubs from dummy and discard one of his losing hearts. Now I have shown you how to defeat the contract of four spades. Can you see any way of still making the contract even with this marvelous defense? Here is' how it can be donelead the ten of diamonds from dummy. East will cover with the jack and now don’t trump with the three of spades, but with the, ten spot and lead the three of spades, discarding a heart from dummy. East will be thrown in the lead with his nine of spades and now must lead a club to dummy’s ace, and the declarer can discard his three losing hearts on dummy’s three good diamonds. This last play might be classed as a double dummy play, but it presents an interesting angle to this unusual hand.

Illinois Airman Leads 'Pack’ in First Lap to Yuma From Los Angeles. By United Press YUMA, Aug. 22.—Safely over the first leg of their 2,400-mile trip from Los Angeles to Cleveland, fifty-six airplane pilots prepared today to take off for Tucson, the second stop of the Cord transcontinental air derby. Art Carnahan of Bloomington, 111., was leading the “pack.” Carnahan, flying a monocoach with a speed rating of 110.4 miles per hour, landed here first, to receive a point score of 270. He had covered the 229 miles in 1 hour 55 minutes to win the race over mountains and desert. Points based on the distance covered will be credited the pilots first to arrive at each control point. The next twenty-five finishers at each point will be scored on a downward scale. The points will determine winners of SIO,OOO cash and two automobiles to be awarded at Cleveland. Roy Hunt, Norman, Okla., finished sfcond for the Yuma leg and received 162 points. Gladys O’Donnell of Long Beach, Cal., one of the eight women fliers in the derby, was third, scoring 108 points. The Yuma dash, considered one of the most dangerous of the long trip, was aided by unlimited ceiling and visibility, perfect flying weather. This year the race is open to both men and women pilots, and the novel feature is that it started from both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, both divisions meeting at Bartlesville, Okla., and continuing on to Cleveland to finish the race. Eastern pilots hopped off from Washington Sunday afternoon. Western pilots got off from Los Angeles at the same time. The two divisions are expected to join at Bartlesville some time Wednesday, and finish in Cleveland Saturday, Aug. 27. 800-Pound Tuna Captured REVERE, Mass., Aug. 22.—Hundreds of Bay state residents and tourists today viewed an 800-pound tuna fish, captured near here Sunday by Charles Smith, Beachmont fisherman. It was the first fish of its kind ever caught in this vicinity.
