Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South has the contract for three no trump. West opens the five of spades. East wins with the queen, and returns the deuce of spades. You.can see that the only way to make the contract is to find the cards where you. want them. Therefore, how should the hand be played? *KB7 4 6 2 ♦ QlO AJ9S32 4 ,4 (Blind) W E (Blind) ♦ s ♦ 4b Dealer A J 10 3. V AQ Iff 9 ♦A 8 3 *AQ Solution in next issue. 10

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridec Leasne WATCH for the key card of a hand. Success or failure of today’s entire hand depends upon when the king of diamonds is played. Don’t take it for granted that trump is going to split, or that a hand is going to break favorably for you. Always figure on the worst possible distribution and try to provide against it. The worst distribution that the declarer can get in today’s hand, and still make his contract, is to find four spades to the jack in the West hand against him. Yet the contract should be made. The king of hearts is the opening lead and the declarer must ruff Immediately. South can see that the hand should have been played In clubs. But if he can make six spades, he will get top on the board.

THE BURROWING owl is well known in the Great Plains region of the United States. Even outside his native area this bird has become known as the brave little owl that lives in the same den with rattle* snakes and prairie dogs. His reputation is not based on fact, however, for never do the three live in the same hole. iOMHMEMw 414 JMHi mi ** BHM> X.

HOWEVER, were he now to lead a diamond to dummy’s king, his contract eventually would be defeated. To make his contract, declarer immediately should cash dummy’s king and queen of spades, return a club, lay down the ace of spades and discard a heart from dummy. He then should lead clubs until West is forced to ruff with his jack, and West is helpless. If he returns a heart, the declarer will ruff with the eight of spades and will have a diamond to get into dummy and make all the good clubs—he never needs his ace of diamonds. If the declarer were to lead a diamond at trick two. West would not ruff with his jack of spades until South was exhausted of clubs and now the declarer would have no way of getting into dummy to make all the good clubs. Thus his contract would be defeated. (Copvrleht. 1934, bv NEA Service. Inc.)

me anger of Abu Batn against Zveri had been stimulated by the aspersions which the Russian had cast upon the courage of the Arab and his followers. “Dog of a Nasrany!" ejaculated the sheykh, “He called us cowards, we Bedauwy, and left us here to guard the camp."

■ He is due an instrument of Allah/' said one of the Arabs, "in the great cause that will rid Arica of all Nasrany.” “I would rather have my freedom on the desert,” said Abu Batn, "and gather wealth myself than lie longer In this Nasrany camp!”

“I have looked upon their woman,” said the sheykh, “I know a city where she would bring many pieces of gold.” “In the trunk of the Nasrany chief there is much gold and silver,” said one of the men. “The plunder of the camp is rich besides,” suggested another.

“Is not Zveri always reminding us of the money, and the women, and the power we shall have when we have thrown out the English?” said Abu Batn. “Man is moved only by his greed. Let us take our profits and be gone.”
