BESIDE THE POINT.

without any extended criticism OF the
nullo play we would suggest that the
play of the hand as given us was faulty
in the bidding of three nullos by East
even on a perfect hand, but unaided IN
uullo support by his partner
The play-off should have been -FOUR
leads OF spades and the ace of clubs by
South. conditioned upon n club discard by
West. then throwing dummy in the lead
all the other eight tricks would go TO
West. The play as given was open TO
grave danger. even II successful. IT was
always within the adversary's power
with the spades unexhausted. to nave
forced a different result by exhaustlng All
Of South's losers and arranging the final
club lead in Easts hand with the cluo
fen Then he CEasD could have led the
shade through South forcing all the re-
naming tricks upon South.
All this. however. has no proper place
in auction and only complexities the
game. without adding to its scientific IN
terest.
The holding of high honors tempts one
10 value them beyond their true value IN
results. and unless carefully considered
opens a road to sure penalties.
The following hand. sent us for criu-
cism from w. b., OF Stamford conn.,
illustrates the point.
The hand:

plAY.OFF SURPRISES.

West opened the hand with the king or
shades. on which East played the queen.
This was common sense play, not con-
vention. No previous understanding was
needed 10 mark East's queen the top-of-
soouence. A single queen OF spades would
have caused entirely different bidding'
East would have hardly supported his
mariner. and West, with great length IN
trumps, would have given his suit bid
preference over double. II South had
had a large number of adverse rumpS ne
would not have been so persistent in keep
ing the opposition alive.
East properly valued the importance OF
an early establishment Of his diamond
suit and knew his play Of the queen
would make the trump situation clear to
his partner and would in addition show
his re-entry. West switched to his sim
gle,on. looking for tricks in the diamond
suit as the only possible supporting
strength in his partners hand. Easts

GAIN OF A HUNDRED POINTS,
An actual gain of hundred points was
the result of establishing a re-entry IN

one extra winning club from dummy

been less keen in their play.

West could have Offset the necessity or
