A STEP HARD TO EXPLAIN.

II would be difficult to anslyze play
er's thoughts that would lead to doubling
Norths bid in this situation, but never
theless such was East's action. Possibly
confusing Vests forced bid with an origi-
nal declaration Of higher numerical value,
promising added strength and causing UNI
warranted expectation Of high penalties,
was the influencing factor leading to the
double.
Easts unexpected move so 1ustered
South that he redoubled without waiting
TO count tho cost of opponents possible
return to royals. II is true that an ava
lancho Of penalties was sure to follow
through success OF tho redouble, but the
smaller gain by doubled four royal con-
tract that seemed almost certain TO FOL
low by opening an avenue of escape made
South's course questionable. West had TO

moved from the club class, and it came to

Probably awakening 10 the fact OF an
unpleasant position through thoughtless
bid ding and that queens not properly
guarded are hardly dependable for tricks.
