While a strong incentive would exist for
two bid, the opponents might hesitate
TO bid higher with their great score adj
vantage and being i'm no danger Of losing
the game at diamond declaration. So
West declared three diamonds. trusting
that his partner would not put the wrong
Interpretation on mis- bid.
The question that naturally arises In
venturing bid of this sort is with what
degree of safety can il be made. While
the hand appears at first glance to be
rather valueless. a careful analysis places
the holding in a more favorable light.
Two leads Of diamonds should establish
the suit. Therefore six tricks would be
d fair estimate of the worth Of that suit.
South's invitation no-trump bid would
probably indicate larger holding of high
honors than that Of either one of his OPP
moments As between the strength IN
honors liable TO he held by either North
or East. il y needless 70 mention that
the proba utilities favor neither one. West
should therefore expect to find assistance
in his partners hand TO the extent Of
possibly two tricks.
With the advantage of playing the
hand. West might reasonably expect 10
fulfil his contract. As his hand could
hardly promise any real assisting value
to any possible make of his partner :, the
value of the defensive diamond declara-
ton is apparent.

East passed the two no trump declara-
ton. and his refusal 10 overcall North s
bid would also have served to indicate a
hestancy TO support his partners bid had
North declared three clubs. West did not
offer a further bid. and South held the
contract at two no trump.
West opened with the king OF diamonds
and, holding the trick, followed with the
queen. For some unexplained reason
South still held off. although assured OF
still another trick in the suit should West
later attempt to establish his remaining
diamond.
West could picture the open jaws of
tenace in diamonds awaiting him. so he
switched and led a low heart through

the king.
East here probably figured that II he
should make dummy's queen good by es-
tablshing the hearts for West. ii would

THREE DIAMOND BID HELD.

Vests three diamond bid effectually
smut ont North from declaring clubs. and
a. East thought that Vests diamond ar
gument would be sufficiently convincing
ne offered no further evidence in defence.
South was also sienced. and West held
tho contract.
After dummy had won Norths opening
club lead with the ace. West gained the
lead by rufiinS low club from dummy.
Vests diamond lead that followed put
North in with the ace.
North's opportunity TO save game was
lost when he forced West by club lead.
Had he led d spade. which would have
been his proper play. a trick in spades
would have resulted later in the play.

Due credit however. must be accorded
West for his Aever tactics in a situation
which although made clear to some eX-
tent by North double. demanded master
ly treatment After the play South was
roundly censured for not taking North out
after he had doubled. But why should
he interfere with the double? North :
double gave no indication of strong sup
port TO the royal declaration itself. II
rather suggested a strong hand in three
suits with the weakness in royals. South

Cleaning Up Day.

Through the president of the Civ.
ic league we are requested to an
nounce that Friday, March 28, has
been designated as a general clean
ing up day in Kingstree, and it is
hoped that every property owner
and resident in town, white and col.
ored, will observe the same by CIV
ing their premises thorough over
hauling, and setting their house in
order" Tor the reception of a glor.
ious spring.
From many sources it has been
predicted that, owing to the very
mild winter season, general health
conditions are going to be bad dur.
ing the spring and summer, and in
view of the information it is the ur-
gent duty of every citizen to join
hands with the Civic league next
Friday and help put the town in q
clean, sanitary condition.
